The thousands of homeless and starv

call upon the sympathies of the Ameri

agency for handling the funds is the
Near East Relief, but the call for aid
is issued by the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ hi America, and Is
backed by denominational Mission
Boards, by leading philanthropists and
by the President of the United States.
The State College churches will act
immediately by taking special offerings
for the cause.
The Council of Churches requests also
that citizens take the following action:
First. Assure the government of the
support of the nation in the fulfillment
of our urgent responsibilities toward
humanity.
Second. Write to the President of the
United States, the two Senators, their
representative, and the chairmen of the
Senate and House Committcus on For
eign Relations asking that the govern
ment use its good oiliccs to seek per
manent protection and religious liberty

FARCE THIS MONTH
Two-Act Comedy Entitled “Mrs,

Promises Many Laughs
TICKETS ON SALE BY
STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
••Mrs. Mnitnvaring's Management,” a
clever two act comedy by J. R. Froome
Jr. is to be presented by the Y.-M. O.
A. In the Auditorium. November seven
teenth. The play is a rollicking comedy
which outves through two very delight
ful nets.
The theme of the play is in the na
ture of a farce. It concerns a bet made
by one Mrs. Mainwarlng with her hus
band. Mrs. Malnwariug wagered scats
at the Metropolitan that tto force of cir
eumstancos would arise with which she
could not cope. The curtain for the
first act rises on a dinner party given
by the Mainwarings. Friend Husband
opportunely phones that ho will bo un
able to attend the party and that Airs.
Mainwarlng will have to act the part
of both host and hostess. Soon after
the guests arrive an anonymous note
also arrives requesting that after din
ner the girls ask the men to whom they
are engaged, to tell them which one was
out that afternoon with a vamp who
hud Just come to town.
The men are “good sports” and stick
together, refusing to betray one of their
number. As may well be imagined,
the act ends with a situation that Airs.
Ahiinwaring finds dilllcult to manage.
The second act lakes place after dinner
the same evening. The party has, to
use Mrs. Alainwurlng's words, been “In
sufferable”. Circumstances progress to
such straits that the girls return their
rings to the men. It Is then that Airs.
Ahiinwaring proves herself a social gen
eral, and finds a way to patch up six
broken hearts. They live “happily ever
after". But when Mr. Alalnwarlng re
turns —but that’s not jxirt of the play.
A change In cast has been made. The
revised cast is ns follows:

HARLAN AND COMPANY
ENTERTAIN TOMORROW
Veteran Comedian Specializes, in
“Rube,” Negro Dialect and
“Cousin Caruso” Songs
Byron G. liarlan, and American com
edian and well-known tenor, and his
company of entertainers will appear
tomorrow in the Auditorium at eight
o'clock. This entertainment Is under
the auspices of a joint committee on

Veteran Comedian
Byron G. Harlan, although this is
his first appearance at Penn State, is
a familiar veteran comedian of the
American stage, ami lie is certain of a
hearty welcome when Ite gives his per
formance. Harlan possesses a wide
repertoire consisting of •‘rube" songs,
negro dialect songs. “Cousin Caruso"
songs, and his famous duets with Col-,
Uns In fact, Harlan is irresliably;
funny, and really a .veritable “gloom
chaser.” •
Harlan brings with him it company
of truly talented artists, Aliss Beth
Hamilton is an American violinist, who
has been trained by eminent masters of
America and Europe. Miss Mabel 11.
Loomis is the pianist and accompanist.
Sin* possess a really wonderful musical
touch and artistic temperament. Al
though her technique is that of a vir
tuoso. she uses it merely as a means
of expression. Armstrong, who is cull
ed “The Man of Alystery," is an even
ing’s entertainment in himself.
The singing of the varsity quartet isi
one of the most interesting parts of
the program. The varsity quartet is
to sing some songs and Harlan will
record them on the phonograph record
producer.. Then they will be played
on tlte phonograph. This will provide j
a good oportunity of observing the ac
curacy of the phonograph, and will be
an interesting experience for everyone
to observe.
Tickets for the entertainment are in
tlte hands of Student Volunteers or can
b purchased at Metzger’s toight, from
seven until nine; prices, 50c, 75c and
one dollar.
PENN STATE CLUB PLANS
FOR THANKSGIVING DANCE
Lack of Interest Among Non-
Fraternity Men Hinders
Unit Athletics
The renn State Club dance which
has been one of the features of the
Pennsylvania Day celebration for sev
eral years, will not be held this fall,
since the present officers of the organi
zation have decided to abandon the us
ual proeeedure in view of the slack pa
tronage encountered by the closing
functions staged last spring. It Is
planned, however, to stage a dance at
Thanksgiving. The past events spon
sored by the Club have been of a high
standard and the music for the dances
has been furnished by orchestras of
quality.
The Penn State club is an organiza
tion comprising as Its members all the
non-fraternity men of Penn State, being
supported and governed by these stu
dents. In order that the organization
may be more efficiently controlled and
so that it wil not he unwieldy, the town
has been divided into units and it has
been the custom in the past for the
units to compete in the various athlet
ics. considerable interest being mani
fested during the past two years. But
this fall, nothing has been done toward
organizing the club, as the present of
ficers of the organization state that
there is not sufficient interest displayed
In the project, among the non-fraternity
students. Plans are nevertheless under
consideration for the first social func
tion to be staged by the Penn State
Club for the 1922-23 season, in the form
of a Thanksgiving dance. It is ear
nestly hoped that the members of the
organization will support this function
as well as they have all post dances,
[which have been entirely successful.

been so great before a football game.
To quote “Bez” in his talk at the meet
ing, "Tim Navy doesn’t worry me”.
The meeting, which was in charge of
11. L. Koehler, President of the Athletic
Association, was . opened by several
rousing cheers, and selections by the
band. “Dinkey" Haines, former Penn
State gridiron star, who witnessed the
Navy aggregation last week in Its clash
with Penn, was the first speaker to be
called upon. 1-Ic said that the Aliddics
have a strong, fast, powerful team with
heavy, plunging backs. They outweigh
our team by twenty pounds and when
Penn State goes against them she goes
against one of the Itest teams in the
East. The Navy has lost one game at a
time but never two in succession, and
tite Annapolis gridders do not intend to
break that record Friday.
George Snell was next called upon to
give opinions on the Navy, ite also hav- ,
ing been present at the Penn-Xavy
game last week. “The reason the Navy
lost was because they thought they
could win", said Snell. They have
spirit at Annapolis that is magnificent
and the Middies an* confident of victory
over Penn State. But in a pinch, when
Perm State's hack is against tlte wall.
Penn State fights, atul wins, and that Is
the only way she can win Friday”.

speeker at a mass meeting, then stepped
to the center of the platform, and after
waiting for the wild, almost frantic, ap
plause to quiet down, said in Ids droll
manner. “That is one of the things that
keeps me young. I would like to see a
Navy guy hi front of mo now”. He
wont on to say, in part:
"For the first time in history a really
big game is to be played in Washing
ton. and I for one. whether we win or
lose, want a hard, clean fight. And If
necessary, boys, don't forget the little

ANNUAL TIE-UP SCRAP
IS SET FOR TOMORROW
New System of Keeping Score Will
Be Instituted—Time Set
at Twelve Forty-five
Unless at least one hundred and fifty
sophomores are “on deck" at New Beav
er Field tomorrow’afternoon at 12:45
p. m. the second year men may have to
forfeit the annual tie-up scrap. The
.Stmlent Tribunal is going to put forth
every effort to get every freshman and
sophomore who does come to New
Beaver Field ready for action in the
scrap.
Tlte reason for these strict measures
Is that the poor turnout, especially
among the sophomores, for the last two
or three years. The Tribunal wants
to make this a good old-fashioned scrap,
with a big turnout and real class spirit.
Last year It was found necessary to
use the same sophomore in two or even
three heats.. In the scrap this year a
man cun only be used once, and as
many heats will be run off as there
are teams of fifty men among the soph
omores. Another rule which is to be
strictly observed Is that each man must
wear gym shoes.
Scrap (o Begin on Time
It will bo noted that the time has
been changed from 12:30 to 12:45
This is for the convenience of the con
testants. It will give them more lime for
lunch and to got ready. It is necessary
to hold the scrap so early because of
the freshman fouthnll game which fol
lows directly after the scrap. Also
there Is to bo no waste of time, and the
first heat will he started promptly sit
12:45 p. m. Thu freshmen will he In
charge of “Bill” Payne ’23 and will
meet on the north etui of the field.
The sophomores will be in charge of
“Vipp” Koehler *23 anti will meet on
tin* south side of the field. Each of
these men sire to have five assistants.
New Score-Keeping System
A new system in score-keeping is to
be instituted with tills scrap. There
art* to Im* five senro keepers who will
have the fifty yards in the center of
the field divided equally among them.
That is. eaeh of the scorers Is to take
ten yards as mrked out by the football
lines. This system is expected to do
away with the otherwise big chance of
a miscount. It will be impossible to
count the same man twice as it was be
fore. An endeavor is also to be made
to keep everyone off the field but the
officials. The spectators are asked to
sit In the stand. If this rule is strictly
adhered to. the scrap will be much
more Interesting to everyone.. Tlte,
scorers are as follows:
11. A. Stiyford '23
R. D. Schive ’23
G. E. Lehr ’23
H. T. Ax ford '23
J. B. Park ’24
The starter atul timer Is L. L. Bailey
’23. The period of heats is five minutes.
NEW SPANISH CLUB TO
MEET NEXT WEDNESDAY
Organization Offers Valuable Op
portunity to Become Acquaint
ed With Spoken Spanish
Under the name of “Circulo de los
Amigos de fit Lengua Espanola," a new
Spanish Club has been formed at Penn
State. This organization will have Its
first meeting on Wednesday evening.
November eighth, at seven-thirty, in
room 314. Old Alain.
For the student who is anxious io
become acquainted with the -.spoken
language of all the Spanish countries
of the world, no better opportunity is
afforded than to attend the meetings
of this Club. He will receive the max
imum of advantage and pleasure itt
getting in close touch with native Span
ish speaking men; he will learn true
facts about .Spanish and Spanish Amer
ican life, and especially about the re
markable contrasts which exist in the
development of civilization in both
Americas.
South America with its great diver
sity of scenery, extraordinary resources,
.big rivers, high mountains, large cities,
and great attractions, offers an unlim
ited number of surprises to the man
who is familiar with the Spanish lan
guage.
The new Club is under the direction
of Professor J. Martinez, of the De
partment of Romance Uangunges, who
Inis arranged a selected program. To
students and persons interested in
Spnish a cordial invitation is extended.

The Penn State gridders arrived at
Washington early yesterday morning

Country Club where they will remain in

STUDENT COUNCIL HOLDS
SHORT BUSINESS MEETING
No Petition Will Be Submitted to
Faculty for Thanksgiving
Vacation
The regular meeting of Student Coun
cil. which was scheduled to bo held last
Tuesday evening, had to be limited to
a discussion of those items of business
which were of vital importance and to
the hearing of tlte reports of tin* various
committees which had functioned since
the preceding meeting. Roll call showed
that the necessary quorum of thirty
members was not present.
The committee that had l**en appoint
ed to make a thorough revision of lVun
State customs and to report any recom
mendations to Student Council for con
sideration ditl not disclose the results
of their work, since President Ignite
deemed it of too great importance to
be considered by a minority of the Coun
cil ami so it wifi be taken at tin*
next meeting of that body.
No Special Trains
lit regard to the securing of special
trains for the Navy and Pitt games, it
was found that the Pennsylvania Rail
road was unable to offer the student
body a better proposition than had been
submitted before. Since litis was en
tirely unsatisfactory, it was thought
advisable to let tlte matter drop.
The committee appointed to super
vise the tic-up scrap that is to be held
on the practice football field Saturday
afternoon repurted Unit the chairman
would be forced to absent himself at
that Ume and It. A. Sayford '23 wa

according to the rules printed else

No Thanksgiving Vacation
Aconling to the report submitted by
Chairman Schive of the vacation com
mittee. it was found inadvisable to sub
mit petition to the faculty for a recess
over Thanksgiving week-end and rec
ommendation wtis made to Stmlent
Council that the matter be dropped.
The recommendation was adopted.
