STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY JANUARY 28, 1921 GROFF DISCUSSES CHINESE SITUATION Article Written by ,Former Stu dent For Foremost Magazine of Modern China The recent visit of **Daddy" Groff here at the college brought before the minds of both students and faeulty members the great need existing in China today 'or men who are trained to meet and overcome the obstacles of every day life. Men are needed. This winter i* China there are millions who are facnig grim death because of un favorable eiretunstances entirely beyond the control of the victims. Food Is the only solution to the problem and the world stocks of food are low. Moreover there is a similar cry from other parts of the world. China has land and labor resources that should make her the world's greatest Captain; inn tier Peo ple are now looking to ether lands. "Daddy" sets before its the situation, which is truly pathetic. The following paragraphs are "- tntets front an article written revellOY by Mr. Groff for publieatlon in a Chin ese magazine "Christian Chin'a' which Is read by many students in the land ae ross the Pacific.

And for production. China is dependent upon her folk and common people who are now starving. So few of China's foreign students are at the present time studying rural Prob lems because they say that the develop ment of agriculture in China at the pre sent time is extremely difficult. Until unselfish leadership Is forthcoming China's peasantry will continue to starve Instead of producing her own and the world's needs. The• Land of Itoßooms and Agrleullarc "China in labor and land resources holds the master key to the storehouse of the world's future supply of raw materials for manufacturing and ;food products.

The team from Lebanon County is re ported to be having a rather success ful season anti has come through its schedule in good shape so far. Last week it defeated Juniata College in a nip and tuck game at Lebanon. 35 to 34. Captain Moore of the Lebanon five had a large part In the victory and enabled his team to nose out the Jun iata men in the last few minutes of play: Penn State's outlook for the game is bright. In the first game on the Blue and White schedule, the Nittany squad administered a thorough defeat to the Juniata team and have since improved in an all around way, so that the game tomorrow night should not cause un necessary concern on the part of the Nittany followers. Several of the Blue and White second string men have been showing up well In the last few games. The past few weeks have brought contests in which Coach Herman has been able to use a number of substitutes and the Ines have 'taken advantage eJ the opportun ity to show their ability. Koehler. Whiteman and !tither have figured largely in the substitutions lately and have displayed a first class brand of basketball. In the game with Susque hanna last' Saturday afternoon, 31'111W nuts shot three field goals in the last half, while Koerler has gotten in the habit of making at least one goal every time he has gotten a chance to play.

It will be remembered that the Year ling dribblers received somewhat of a surprise On this occasion and only man aged to 1108 e nut a victory by a scant margin cf one point. The game was of hair raising nature, the last five min utes of play being jammed with excite ment, and it was probably only the ex ceptional foul shooting of Turner that enabled the Freshmen to hold the lead they attained until the end. The de feat administered to the Bellefonte five has only added In their desire for vic tory on Saturday and they will go on the floor confident of taking the mean- lire of the Fresh. Since their initial game with the Yearlings, they have improved wonderfully, having walipoed other teams which they have met. and are rated as one of the best scholastic teams or, the district.

COMMENCEMENT CHANGES APPROVED BY TRUSTEES Expect to Announce Name of College's New President Within a Week --- Several Fine Gifts Received ALUMNI' EVENTS WILL BE FEATURE OF FESTIVITIES Tentative plans for one of the great est Commencement Weeks ever held at Penn State in June were adopted by the Board of Trustees at their meeting in Harrisburg last Tuesday. The program 4n• the week will , of course be similar to occasions of this kind held in former years inn several changes have been made whereby it is hoped that the fes tivities will surpass previous ones. One of the most important changes along this line is the rearrangement of the date set for Alumni Day which was formerly held on Tuesday but which by the new program will fall on Saturday. Another great change to be made is the shortening of the festivities by one day so that Commencement Week will I now end officially at midnight on Tues day. The festivities for the week will begin on Friday, June tenth. On that evening the Freshmen will stage their usual rit ual connected with the burying of the "(links." Immediately following this Penn State Players will present a play, the name of which has not been an nounced, in the Open Air Theatre. Campus singing by the Senior Chuis at ten o'clock will complete the program for the first day. Saturday promises to be th . e big day Ir the whole week Inasmuch as it has been designated "Alumni Day."' In the morning at cline o'clock the College fispd will start things off bright and early with a band concert which will In all probability be held on the front campus. This event will be followed by the annual busniess meeting of 'the General Alumni Association In Aud itorium and then by an Alumni Lunch eon in the big tent which . is nitvuye ralscd on the front campus as head quarters for the alumni Who return to their Alma Mater for the festivities. The alumni will be conspicuous In al most every part of the day's program from this time on. They will attend the track meet in case the luncheon ends before the time set, Cot' the former affair hart and will take pt in a big alumni par ade whleh is to form on the front cam pus. The baseball. game will also claim their share of attention and It is ex pected that they will be as strong in their support of the baseball team as they were of the :"ootball team at the Altuuni Day celebration last October ninth. In the evening, the alumni will attend an informal dance and recep tion to be held in their honor at the Armory. On Sunday morning the-Baccalaur eate address will be made by some man of note whose name has not been given out as yet. In the afternoon or even ing the College Military Band will ren der an instrumental and vocal program In the Auditorium. It has also been planned to have Y. At. C. A. and Y. W.

The An (Continued on last page) REHABS WILL OFFER DIVERSIFIED PROGRAM With the arrival of E. G. Moyer, pro ducing manager for the Joe Bread Producing Company. of Chicago. plans for the big Minstrel Show to be staged by the Rehabilitation students on Fri day. and Saturday .evenings, February eighteenth and nineteenth, are rapidly formulating. The show, which is call ed "The Jollies of 1921" will be under the personal supervision of Mr. Moyer, whose success as a producer of real attractions will be verified by those who were fortunate enough to witness the Rehab performance last winter. The show will be an innovation from the usual Penn State theatrical enter tajmnents in that it will he a pleasing combination of both vaudeville and musical comedy. This is a novel idea and differs greatly from the usual cut and dried form of the Minstrel show in which the end man of burnt cork type figures so prominently. The affair will be an elaborated and varied pro duction lu two harts with several scenes to each. The settings are original and of an extraordinary type seldom seen off the legitimate stage while the cos tumes and gowns are of the exceptional type, being elaborate and modern in every respect. An added scenic feature will be a complete new change of scen ery for every act. The first part will take the form of a musical comedy which concludes in a light burlesque filled with farelal situations and incidents. In this act the commedlans will be assisted by chorus el' twenty young women who will sing the musical sensations of the performance "If they'll only play my wedding march in rag time." One of the most prominent features of the whole first part is the novel introduction I of the commedians and the members of the chorus. The curtain rises with no one on the stage until the soloist appears and presents the various characters to the audience In a clever and humorous manner. This Is one of the great num ber of novelties that pleases Immensely and throughout this scene, the audience probably reaches its highest pitch of laughter and enthusiasm. The whole of the first part is remarkable in that it Is of a very light and trivial nature (Continued en Ada •Ye) Yes, We Got The Writers Cramp Too PRICE FIVE CENTS SEVERAL FINE GIFTS PRESENTED TO COLLEGE Important business, pertaining prim arily to the propositions of Continence ment program Vor this June and future years, approval of the Budget for Ap propriation front the State Legislature for the next two years and the choice of a president for the college, was transacted at the meeting of the board of Trustees of the college held at Har risburg last Tuesday. Numerous other items of importance to the college were passed on and these brought to light a number of interesting features which will he of material aid to Penn State. The move which was perhaps watched with most Interest was that of the choice of a leader for the college. This however, was referred to the executive committee of the Board of Trustees with power to act. It Is expected that a definite selection will be announced with a week. The program for June Commence ment week was approved and the chang es regarding emomeneement day and Alumni Day may be noted elsewhere on this page. The board also placed Its final ap proval on the Budget for Appropriation from the State of Pennsylvania, the most Important Items of which are as follows: General Maintenance $2,800,000 Summer Sessions. 100,000 Extension 576,000 Buildings 2,855,000 ....$6,460.000 Authorization was given for the pres entation of a bill to the legislature for $2,881.000 to cover the deficiency incur red during the current biennium, the principle item on expense being the in creases in the salaries of faculty mem bers which were granted last July. An important change In the operation of the college summer session was also effected the courses offered being great ly strengthened.and the work facilitated by lengthening the period from six weeks to nine weeks.

The return of Detar has mater ially increased the prospects of a strong mat team for this year but there are still two weak points, namely the 145 pound class and the heavyweight class. The injury of Mack caused a serious depletion In the first named class al though Park has exhibited considerable skill and should develop into a depend able wrestler. McMahon by his victory over Farley in the interclass meet show ed that he Is improving rapidly but with the re-appearance of Sarsons on the mats it may be that a strong fight will develop for the heavyweight berth. There is a great difference between them as to size, McMahon being about a foot taller than Sarsons but being thirty pounds less In weight, and as these men have never grappled togeth er so far it Is fairly hard to determine just how a bout between them wend turn out. They are the only serious contenders for the unlmiited class as Farley will probably wrestle In the 175 pound class. Although Garber has not returned to school yet, he is due to arrive any day and will have an exceed ingly tough proposition on his hands If he attempts to hold down his place in the 125 pound class. Evans is making rapid strides and Is determined to give all contenders a stiff battle for the position. Radical changes have been planned by "Doe Lewis in respect to the trials which are scheduled to start the third of February. He plans to base the trials on ability and not chance, thus encouraging the weak candidates and helping the strong ones. Two of the weaker men will be pitted against each other in order that each will have an equal chance but two of the strongest men will not be paired off at first be cause It would eliminate one Immediate ly without giving him a fair opportunity. Another change determined upon is that all members of the huge squad will be compelled to compete in the trials. If some of the candidates do not report the first night they will be sent for and will be made to take part in the tryouts the following evening. This will enable Coach Lewis to get a better line on the ability of the men because practice does not always bring out the beet qualities 'of a man and also in the past some of the minders were compell ed to forfeit their bouts because they were unable to appear on a specified evening.
