VOL. XIII. No. 21 NO SETTLEMENT IN MOVIE QUESTION Charges Against Three Seniors Are Withdrawn—Student Board Passes Resolutions THEATRE MANAGEMENT _ MAKES A STATEMENT Legal charges made against three members of the student body by the manager of the Nittany Theatre Com pany last Thursday and Friday, as the result of some unfortunate disorder in the Nittany Theatre on Wednesday, mere formally withdi awn by hint on Monday afternoon As a result, the friction between the management of the theatres and the students as a whole, has aparently lessened somewhat, but as yet the :itudents ate avoiding pat ronage of the two theatres of the town. There are no immedicate indications that this patronage will be resumed As in all such instances, there are two sides to the matter at hand. The students feel that the action of the management in bringing State Con stabularly on the scene to carry out its plans for conducting an orderly theatre, and causing the arrest of three of their number, was overstepping the bounds of student liberty, and have evidenced bitter feeling as a result The story of the theatre management is told in part in a statement issued to the COLLE GIAN on Monday evening. which is herewith printed in full, together with the resolutions adopted by the ,Student Board on the morning following the disturbance, and which liberate the col lege from becoming involved, in that the student governing bodies did not authorize or conduct the campaign opened against the theatres. As set theie has been no opportunity for the management of the Theatre Company to fully state its side of the case, and a clearer viewpoint will doubt less be raised in the minds of the stu dents upon making themselves familiar with these facts As matters now stand, these exists in the mind of prac tically every student, a deep resentment for the injustice of the steps taken by the management In gaining its ends ,Literally speaking,"the two sides had /Railed the limit of endurance and are non at loggerheads %s it!! r egai d to the matter. Remedies A number of suggestions have been made since the beginning of the affair to Ming it to a successful close. But nothing can be done in this matter until the two sides get together and thrash the thing over, according to general opinion. Students seem to be of the opinion that if it is understood that the first evening show be genet ally known and accepted as a "student show" that matters could be settled. This point has been offered to the management and is not held entirely feasible with their aim to conduct an orderly theatre, claiming that there would be a contin uous overlapping and that student "dis order" would continue tin oughout the greater part of • the evening. Other plans and wild rumors of attempts to be made by certain students and student governing bodies to get the students bank to the "movies" have been circu lated, especially during the past two o• three days, but no stock is placed in them whatever The situation has been a most per plexing one throughout. The with drawal of charges against the three students, while Ininging some change in the student sentiment. may yet prove as a means ft» clearing matters up The case was (hopped to avoid a fur ther (halving of the college name into the affair, and leaving it an entirely student proposition Seeking information Horn the theatre management as to then side of the question, the editor of the COLLEGIAN last Saturday interviewed Maurice Baum, proprietor, and Ralph Edmunds, manage:, and 'molested the presence of Deoigey. Wheeling, 1» esident of the student government, :IS the chief repre sentative of the student body. The aim was to get such information that the ownei and managed could give that would help the editan in presenting true facts to the students through these col umns, and help the students through their chief lent esentative 'li. Baum outlined his policy at that time in asim- Oar manner as indicated in his public statement Follow ing consultations with Nan Holmes he advised Attorney John Dowers, of Bellefonte, counsel for _the three students who were arrested, to get these men together• with Mr. Daum and talk matters over in the Presence of rem esentative students to see if some satisfactorY airaungement ,could he made President Wheeling and the editor of the COLLEGIAN, both members of Student Board and Council, 'aere asked by Mr. Powers to attend this conference. It resulted in the agree bent of Mr. Edmunds, the prosecutor, to drop the pi oceedings entirely with t he Promise of the prosecuted men to guarantee personal order in the theatre in the future, and a similar grant by the r epresentative students to make an effort to maintain good order in the futuie. This is as fat as matters have Progressed to date. The free movie films offered 13 Y ;dr. Baum for Friday night's part of the pregnant wete shown by the coin- Mittee only after an understanding had been reached by the committee in r halge that payment fur their use would be accepted. The statement of the manager and Proprietor of the Theatre Company fol lows: The Statement "The public Is more or less fully in formed regarding the recent unpleasant disturbances involving our theatre but it Is not Informed concei ning the causes Which lead up to it, nor the purposes nor motives In our part of the trans setton In order to set ourselves fairly before the public we are making the fol lowing statement.

However, Cornell has been working Stith the new material that has ,appeared and will fight to a finish when they meet the Penn Staters. The Cor nell wrestlers were the winners of the 1017 Intercollegiate Championship, and this adds a great deal moie interest to the clash, sine Penn State will compete in this affair this year The Blue and White matmen defeated the Cornell team last year in one of the best contests that was ever witnessed on the home floor, and every minute was full of tense excitement. The meet to he held on Saturday is sure to be just as interesting, as both teams will endeavor to show their superiority. The teams will meet twice more this year. once at Ithaca and the other tune in the Intel collegiates at Brooklyn, New Yoi k. Penn State Is Strong It is generally believed that Penn State has as good a team this season as in any previous year, and Captain Long and Coach Yerger are both con fident of the results of the fist meet. Tintls wet e held last week, and each one was hard fought. The finals were Won by the following men: 115-pound class, Horst; 125-pound class, Detar; 135-pound class, Captain Long; 145- pound class, Schultz; 158-pound class, Brown; 175-pound class, Spangler, and heavyweight class, Czarnecki. Horst, Detar, Blown and Spangler are new men for the team and it will be their first appearance in an intet collegiate meet, Detar, Brown and Spangler are all of the sensational 1920 team, and they have proven to be strong men in their respective classes. Captain Long, Shultz and Czarnecki are well known to the mat followers, and they are all lurked upon as leaders in their respect ive weights. It is quite probable that Cornell will lie tepresentea by the following men: 115-pound class, Rofe; 125-pound class, Ackeily; 135-pound class, Acting-Cap tain Cornell, 145-pound class, Bollard; 155-pound class, gtaffnrd; 175-pound class, Huntington, and heavyweight class, Porter. Captain Cornell and Rofe both competed in the Intercollegiates last year, although'neither of them ap 'peal ed here against the Blue and White. Huth of them ale fast men and Rofe was; in the semi-finals In the lntercol legiates, losing to Servals, the sensa tional Universtty of Pennsylvania w 1 estler. The other men of the team ,LIU newcomers and little can be said of their:ability, as this will be their first 'varsity meet. However, these men have won out over a large class of candidates and good bouts can he looked forwt.rd to in all the weights ZI:=I WILL REPEAT CIRCUS WITHIN THREE WEEKS It is rumored on good authority, that the big feature of last week's "Get- Together Campaign," namely "Zar ney's" Circus, is to stage another feat ure performance in two or three weeks. The story first called for this perform ance on this Saturday night after the Pitt game but this has proven to be un true. However, that it will be repeat ed is almost a certainty It is believed that with the addition of several new features and a general polishing up of some of the old ones, that the circus will be even better than the one last week. It is also hoped to hold it before any of the star perform ers are called into military service or leave college for any other reason. So keep on the watch for the next big an nouncement! BOXING PRACTICE BEGINS IN EARNEST Practice for the boxing try-outs is going on in the Armory every Tues day and Thursday evening at 7:30. A squad of about forty men is getting ready for the inter-class meet which will be held the second week in March. The prospects are bright for a suc cessful season, but more,men are needed especially heavyweights and in the 116 and 125-pound classes: The try-outs for the class teams will be held during the first week of March and the inter crass meet will be held the week follow ing, allowing plenty of time for anyone who is interested to come out. The weights of the different classes are 115, 125, 135, 145, 158, and 175 pounds or above.

ECONOMIC PEACE AND INTERNATIONALISM Present War A Confession That The Religion Of Nationalism And The Subsequent Reaching Out 'For Territory And Economic Advantages Over The World Has Broken Down, Says Dr: Zook In His Final Article • Edam's Note: It is interesting to know that the present day articles writ: ten by Doctor 'nook which have been appearing in the COLLEGIAN for the past several weeks, are now being printed in "Trench and Camp," the paper which is printed in the various training camps , of the United States Government. ECONOMIC PEACE 111 Dr. George _F. Zook (Pkofebsor of Alodern European History) Nature has endowed the world with a wonderful array of natural resources for the use of the inhabitants thereof. The distribution of these resources has, to a large degree, been impartial among the civilized and the uncivilized peoples.

Down—Doherty Stars The Penn State basketball team kept its record clean on the home floor by defeating the Carnegie Instittite of Technology five in the Armory last Thursday evening. The final score was 46 to 19, but this does not indicate how interesting the game really'was The guarding of both teams was close, with State slightly supei ior, and this, to gether with the ability to pierce the \lsaias' defense at critical moments, was mainly responsible for the defeat of the Carnegie aggregation The Carnegie team came here in a rather crippled condition .Six men had been lost from the squad on account of the wai. Gretzler being the only veteran who played on last year's five. Blakes lee and Young proved to be stars for Penn State, the former's total of twenty-four points being sufficient to defeat the visiting team in itself. Ten fouls and seven goals were registered by the Blue and White leader, five of the latter coming in the second half. Young was a close second in the scor ing R ith six field goals to his credit. Wilson at guaid also desei ves especial mention, foi it was mainly through him that many of Tech's plays near the basket were Noken up. Doherty is Star The work of Doherty at forward was the ouLstanding feature for the visitors, as he scot ed seventeen of his team's nineteen points, getting four - field goals and iliSO making nine free tosses. The hist half ended N‘ith Penn State in the lead 2,1 to 8, Cat negie Tech being able to score but one two-pointer dur ing the period, this one on a long and difficult shot by Lynn.

Pitt - is said to have one of the strongest teams in years, and they have defeated everything coating their way, with the exception of Allegheny College and the USAAC. These last two men tioned teams are said to be the sti ongest in the east and they have defeated all the fives they have met. Two former Penn State men are on the USAAC team, Adams playing the pivot position and Jester a guard. Although Pittsburgh has lost several good men of last season's team the players who as e filling the gaps are said to he then equals in every respect and the team is coming to State College with the intention of adding another lam el to . its crown. Both teams are able to play at their best when opposed to each other, and last year Pittsburgh took the Blue and White team into camp on its home floor, whale• Penn State did the same trick on the Armory floor. However, both games were won by Nei y close scores, and no one who witnessed the Armoi y game will deny that it was a thriller from start to finish. Pitt played one of the clevei est passing games seen here in years, and some excellent shots were registered from long range. The Panthers have played many of the leading colleges and universities of the east, among them Yale, Lehigh, Lafayette, Allegheny, and USAACs, while Penn State has played such fast teams as Syracuse, Colgate, Lehigh, Carlisle Indians, Carnegie Tech and Juniata; and have lost but one game, that with Syracuse Univeisity. Both teams are ranked among the leaders of the east in the cage game and neither outfit has much of an advantage in Saturday's contest, Captain Blakeslee has one of the fastest floor teams that has represented Penn State in years and every man is a point-winner. It is quite probable that the same combination will star t the game on Saturday that has played in most of the games this year: Young and Mullan, forwards, Blakeslee, center, and Wolfe and Wilson, guards Pittsburgh will, in all probablity, start wieh-the team that recently made the eastern trip: Penman and Levine, for wards; Robinson, center, and 'McLaren and Easterday, guards. McLaren and Easterday are well-known in both foot ball and basketball and no one will undet Atimate thee• ability :n flitter game It looks as though Penn State will have to fight evei y inch the •ray in order to hand the Panth , q s a defeat on Saturday, and nothing cau.o.s a Penn State team to fight harder than the mere fact that Pittsburgh is the oppo nent It is unfortunate to it •he game comes on the same day ai th.) coi nen wrestling meet, but this conflict x% is un avoidable.

"GET-TOGETHER" CAMPAIGN PROVES GREAT SUCCESS Students Support Movement In Fine Manner-Zarney's Circus And Stag Dancers Are Features The immense "Get-Together" Campaign, which came to such a successful close last Saturday evening, when "Zarney's" Circus per formed in the Armory, has proved to have accomplished much more than was expected in the way of building the three big ships—ac quaintanceship, friendship and fellowship. Beginning last Wednes day evening when the opening gun was fired at a big mass meeting, continuing through Thursday and Friday, and finally culminating on Saturday night, there was an abundance of good fellowship and old time Penn State spirit evidenced, such as seemed to be totally missing this year. ! The excellent results obtained were the result of a great deal of hard work on the part of the various committees, but in the end, its success must be attributed to the right place—the student body, without whose support the campaign would have failed. Backed from its first proposal by the endorsement of President Sparks, Dean Holmes, and many other members of the faculty and student body, the only other necessary requisite was for the students to get behind the movement, and, as is well known, this proved to be the case, and a big step was taken in the direction H of countertvAing the effect of outside interests, due to the war, and of restor ing the pi e-uartitne state of brother hood and friendship, which was in exist ence at Penn St,tte.

Mr. William Silvan° Thunder comes as the fifth member of the company in the capacity of phinist and accompanist. That the vturk of these artists is of the highest arcler Is witnessed by the fact that cacti one of them - has at some time or other been engaged as soloist by the Phila delphia Orchestra. Each one has won recognition in the fields of concert, re cital, and mat° ic, and as a company, they have appealed before many of the leading musical organizations of this country and Canada. The i eporton e of the Adelphia Con t Usti, is somew hat varied and the heavy and serious numbers are well Intel mingled songs and sketches of a lighter nature. Various quartette numbers duets and solos comprise the dist pat t of the program, while a brief recital of Old English melodies, in cycle forms, makes up the second path "A Pastoral Frolic," as pint two of the Adelphia Artists' program, is somewhat lighter and mote ea reftee than the music of the first part.

These men were Lauren Thompson 'l5, and Evetett liamilton 'lB. Thompson was a first Lieutenant in the Engineers and Hamilton was an enlisted man in the 20th Forestry Regiment. There has been no news of either of these men outside of Om official tepott, PRICE FIVE CENTS Tags Prole Feature The main feature of the campaign, and one v.hich was another of the big factory in its success, was the tag system that was inaugurated for the occasion. Each student was provided with a tag bearing his name, class, and course, which was worn throughout the campaign period These tags were met ely for the purpose of assisting in the "gett i ng-acquainted" program, as any student who wore one knew that his ad‘alICQS in this line Mould be sure of being met at least half way by any other weal er of the syinbol, and _ they also provided a means of ascertaining each other's names easily.
