pfjdjy, October 13,1922 ENGINEERS plan PENN DAY STUNT Variety of Unusual and In teresting Exhibits Promised by Various Departments -PUT THE ENGINEERS ON THE MAP” TO BE SLOGAN The Engineering Department has plans under way tor putting on a pro gram of stunts on Pennsylvania Day as the student body has never seen before “Put the Engineers on the Jap'- Is the general keynote of the af fair. Representatives of the departmental engineering societies together with a few of the faculty members who are interested are planing to hold a huge -Open House” of the entire enginerelng school on Pennsylvania Day for the | benefit of the rest of the collgee and the; many visitors who will be in State Col- j l*ge that day. The plans came to aj head at ft meeting of the active mem bers of the Engineering School held last Tuesday evening. Plans are being rapidly worked into shape by an executive committee which has general charge of the "Open House". Under this committee is a sub (ommittee In each department of tho school whose purpose It Is to originate and plan the particular stunts that the department is going to stage. No ono is to be-barred from participation In the exhibition and it is intended to have such a large program that it will take every member of the student body and faculty to put it across. “Boost the Penn State Engineers” is the general idea but there promises to be keen rivalry btween tho several de partments as to which will put on the bf«t part of the show. The electrical enginers expect that with the labora tories of apparatus nt their disposal they can stage a wide variety of un usual and Interesting exhibits while the Industrials intend -to give various kinds of useful and interesting souven irs Illustrative of the proceses carried on in their shops. The serious side of the work Is to be featured as well as the ]}f u . morous stunts.

COLTON TELLS OF SITUATION IN RUSSIA ■Last Tuesday evening In the Auditor ium K. T. Colton uf Moscow, Russia, lectured on tiio Itussian situation, de picting awful scenes of economic life in Russia ami the Itussian universities, and appealed to students and professors of Penn State, as a unit of a system, for aid, , Mr. Colton explained that it was impossible for us to understand the Russian situation, and diliicult for those who have been in touch with It for the past few yea I*9 to do so. Tiie lecture was the third of the | Tuesday evening series being conducted under the joint auspices of the Student fellowship for Life Service and the Y. M. C. A. A special musical program was arranged which included vocal se lections by C. 12. Finley '24 of the Var sity Quartet. Mr. Oulton went on to say that the Russian situation is a result of not one cause, but a series of causes. We must not loose sight of the fact that Russia fought in the 'War on our side. She fought until she had reached the lowest point of existence, economically. She fought until her government had fallen to rack and ruin, until Paris was safe. When she was unable to rise in the fray, she went out of fight. Then she went into revolution and extreme des truction. Since that time no stone has been left unturned to better theoretical ly, Russia’s standing socially, econom ically and religiously. Now social and economic conditions, and the church are reeling under the stress and strain of tbe most aggravating ruin and destruc tion of revolution. War, bloodshed, the terrors of the failure of Communism,' , reigned. Mr. Hoover, who is known always to speak conservatively R'aid upon his return from Europe. “Russia is dying”. / There are millions of people j*;/ Rus sia who have not heen provided fur as to every day commodities,;' The mines are not working. Nry-coal or iron is coming out, Tlte;;c'is no lumber, and bricks are produced. Ihe govern torn down every frame building^],| Russia in order that the wooißrmight be used ns fuel. The efll cieji/cy of the railroads is only seven bfer cent of the pre-war standard. Four trains a week run between Petrograd and Moscow. The Russian ruble has so de preciated that what used to one hund red and fifty thousand dollars is a street car fare. The average normal economic standing of the Russian family today compares with our population In Pitts burg and Now York which is cared for by charity. The standard is below that of safety for life. The students and profesors are not exceptions to the general case. Accord ing to the Soviet scheme the govern ment supplies the student with educa tion, accommodations, and rations, But one third of the students are getting no rations whatever. Those rations re ceived are as bad as nono at nil. The students actually look like skeletons and they wear overalls. - Russia lias now appealed to the‘students and pro fessors of the United States. Mr. Colton concluded his talk with this plea: Russia is the country of the greatest scientists, the greatest musicians, tiie greatest composers, the greatest artists, the highest degree of culture and brotherhood. Is it not worth saving?* 1 CHEM. AG DEPARTMENT BEGINS WEEKLY SEMINAR Scries of Lectures Relating to Chemical Agriculture Pre pared for Winter A number of interesting lectures on subjects relating to Chemistry and Chemical Agriculture, will be given dur ing the winter by the Department of Chemical Agriculture. These lectures will be held at four-thirty In the after noon on the days specified, in Room 2QG of the Agricultural Building, and everyone interested in ilie.se subjects is invited to attend the meetings. On October tenth a report' will be given by G. A. Shuoy, Assistant in Chemical Agriculture, on the Pittsburgh trip recently taken by the members of the faculty of the Department, when they attended the meeting of the Amer ican Chemical Society. A number of industrial plants around Pittsburgh were visited and details of the manufac ture of glass and processes used in a commercial bakery will bo explained. A lecture on Molecular Structure will lie given on October twenty-fourth by Dr. W. R. Ilnm, of the Department of Physics. Dr. J. S. Shoß. of the Depart ment of Chemistry will give an outline of some of the recently developed fer mentation processes from an indus trial standpoint. On November twenty-first Dr. E. B. Porta*?,'head of the Institute of Animal Nutrition, will deliver an address on the Mineral Metabolism of the Milch Cow. The data for this report is based upon four years work at the Ohio Agricul tural Experiment Station. Six cows at a time were used in these experiments ntul complete accountings were made for the income, storage and outgo of all the mineral nutrients and nitrogen. Sixty such balance tests were made and seventeen men wore necessary to con duct the experiments. Tills is the most extensive program of research that has been conducted thus far on this subject. A Review of Enzyme Research will bo given on December fifteenth by Dr. D. E. Ilaley, Associate Professor of Chem ical Agriculture. Work on this subject has been conducted since the Inst cen tury and Dr. Haley will give a review of the work and an account of the now theories developed In this important lino of organic chemistry. On December nineteenth Mr. M. W. Uiafie, Assistant Professor of Chemical Agriculture, will give a review of the literature on valence nnd will explain some of the newer conceptions in re gard to this subject. .uasscjiusett.es tech to HAVE FROSH CHESS TEAM At Mhssachusettes Institute of Tech nology two chess tournaments have been started.

EXTENSION HELP At a recent meeting held in Philadel phia under tiie auspices uf the Penn sylvania Stale College Engineering Ex tension Department over thirty indus trial linns requested the services of the Deparment to survey their present con ditions and lay out a training program for their employes. This great fticrease of business Is mainly due to the abnormal develop ment of business in tbe industrial world, and to the College Publicity Campaign. U has been with much regret that the Extension Department of Engineering lias refused many requests for their services. The chief reason for tills meeting in Philadelphia was to explain to the pres idents and managers of these concerns the facilities available at the College for extension work among industries. TWO-YEAR AGS SHOW ENROLLSIENT DECREASE The annual reception given by the second year class in the Two Year course in Agrculturc for the men of the first year class was held last week in tiie I. O. O. F. hall. Instructors of tiie Two Year men's sections and the incoming group were guests of the ad vanced class. A program of speeches by Professor Uressler, A. A. Borland, E. S. Reider, P. U. Bentley, P. N. Fagan, and W. B. Lincoln opened the meeting, following which J. B. Ilart entertained the gath ering with several clever impersona tions. The Two-Year men got into the spirit of the occasion with an enthusiastic demonstration of cheering and singing. A plea from E. D. Meyers, President of the second year class, for entire participation in the'student drive met with a hearty response from the former loaders. Enrollment Decreased The enrollment of llrst year men; In the Two-Year course shows a consid erable decrease this year. Penn State was the last institution to bo affected by the decrease in agricultural etudonts enrolled; however the nation wiue slump in farm products prices is being felt in this state us shown by this year’s enrollment figure. Thero are one hund red and eighty-five men enrolled in both years, this year's enrollment of eighty three first year men shows an appre ciable dereasc over last year’s enroll ment of one hundred nnd three.
