STATE-WIDE DRIVE OPENS NEXT WEEK Much Rivalry is Shown Among Various Counties For Raising Their Assigned Quotas $250,000 ASSURED WHEN STATE DRIVE OPENS The State-wide campaign to raise the remainder of the $2,000,000 which Dean State has set as her goal for Health and Welfare Building fund begins next Monday morning, when every man and woman in Pennsylvania will be given an opportunity to take purl in his state college’s plan for expansion. On that date, the sixty-seven counties through out the State and the centers of Penn State alumni In other states will begin their efforts to raise the fund that is to provide the much-needed health, wel fare, and residence units for the college. At the opening of the state campaign, the total already subscribed will be well over a quarter of a million dollars. The faculty drive which ended lust week resulted in a total contribution $44,CBt», and It is expected that by the end of lids week the $300,000 set as a goal for the Student Campaign, will have been pledged by tho under graduates of the college.

By this ruling the max imum rate for local orchestras had been reduced from two dollars an hour per man to a dollar and a half and since it j has gone into efTect,, the orchestras have I gone on a strike, refusing to play for i fraternities at tho reduced rale. The , firm stand of the fraternities, however, brought the orchestras into line and on Wednesday night new contracts were being signed at the reduced rate. Last spring the question was brought before the Inter-Fraternity Council as to whether the two dollar rate was too high considering the quality of music that was furnished by the local orches tras. A committee wha appointed and after careful consideration of the ques tion, advised the Council that the price was too high and that If the fraternities agreed on a maximum rate of n dollar and a half per hour, the orchestra would suon agree to accept Hie more reasonable torms. Tho following ruling was ac cordingly passed: "That all members of the Intor-Fratornlty Council, on hiring tocul orchestras for liouso dances shall do so by contract, such contracts,” FIRST—to bo printed a,nd placed in the hands of the Secretary of tho Com oil by whom they will be distributed tho chapters as needed. SECOND —they will provide the con tracts for the consideration of not more Lhun one and a half dollars per hour per man. This was the ruling tluit the fraternl ties on Tuesday night voted almost un- animously to uphold. Any house violat ing tho ruling was liable to suspension from the Council for a year, the nature of Us oifense to be published in the COLLEGIAN and the Alumni Quarter ly and the national officers of the frater nity to be notified. Most of the houses had already cancelled the contracts that had been made with the local orches tras and four or five of them wore con sidering the holding of a Joint inter fraternity dance In the Armory with music furnished by a high class or ganization from out of town. The impossibility of effecting a com promise with the fraternities prorite a feeling among the orchestras th.u it would be better to take the reduction in rate rather than hold out with no pros pects of success. After a number of hurried conferences the leaders decided to accept the now rate and on Wed nesday night new contracts were signed and the danger of a danceless winter was averted. Y. M. C. A.
