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. The j n
charge intends that those visiting
engineering bulldins shat) be ven a
clear understanding of tho th;it the'
students carry on In their rc|£ui ar j
oratory courses, for much o* the work ,
Is novel enough to be intcre£ t f nK to the :
visitor who Is not familiar / w ith engin

E. T. 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.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
THIRTY CONCERNS ASK
ENG. 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.

moment a brilliant and florid aria, nnd
the next, a sustained selection delivered
with a wealth of emotion and pathos.
And this is not to include her bewitch

charm.
The country-wide appeal of this rare
