FRED B. SMITH WAS LAST OF TUESDAY LECTURERS If the financial campulgn now in pro gress is a success, tho Y. M. C. A. plans to continue the Tuesday evening lec ture program next semester. A better list of speakers than ever is planned by the committee in charge. The pro gram for this semester was completed Tuesday, November twenty-eighth with the lecture by Fred B. Smith, one of the nationally known figures. on the program. This year's program of Tuesday even ing lectures has been one of the most successful in the history of the move ment. The attendance was not ns good as the course deserved, but was con linually growing better toward the end of the series. The number of persons present at the llrst lecture numbered about one hundred and fifty: but the attendance averaged over live hundred for the lost five meetings. The program was os follows: 1.

The question of converting Old Beav er Fle,<l into a skating rink was again considered, but this plan was not deemed advisable. In the first place it would necessitate tho expenditure of thousands of dollars because the field is not level, being two feet lower at one end than at the other. To remedy this trouble the field would have to be plowed end graded and in tbe end could be used for no other purpose than skating. On West Campus The plan the Athletic Department now has in mind Js to lay out a skating nk on the new play fields located west ® the campus which comprise at the Present time the large corn field adjoin ng the golf course and the land near ®'Agricultural barns. Modern methods k® UBe d in the construction of the r *nk and it is expected that it will bo ° ne of the best in the country.

I told him girl students in Moscow were sweeping streets but still couldn't earn enough to buy one decent meal a day to say nothing of clothes and firewood for heating, and he didn't rise." “Did you tell him it takes a million dollars, —in rubles at par—to buy a sandwich In Moscow?" “Yes, and that you can't earn a mil lion dollars, a day even if you quit school.

The Penn State Glee Club has re ceived such an overwhelming number of bids for engagements this year that it was deemed necessary to take a trip during the vacation period so that the number of absonces from college would be kept down to a minimum.

The affirmative team won the State College debate, while the nega tive team triumphed over the Western ers. The question was: “Resolved: that the United States ami the several states should establish industrial courts an alogous in principal to the Kansas In dustrial Court." This question is a national one and has been oxciting considerable contro versy throughout the country, due to the fact that a settlement of it may take the United States a long way to ward industrial peace. The normative side of tho question was upheld by W. P. Gifford '25, L. R. Mule '23, and J. Hays '23, of Penn State while the negative view was presented by A. M. Matthews '23, P. V. Marine '25, and C. K. Bradbury '26, of W. & J. Both teams presented strong argu ments in the first part of the debate to uphold their contentions of the sub ject, hut the Blue and White team, by a smashing rebuttal broke down the proof built up by tlie Presidents and secured an advantage sufficient to win. The main argument put forth by the negative side was that the proposed court would prove to be only an instru ment for compromise between Labor and Capital. The Westerners used ns proof for this argument the Kansas Court Systejn. Tije affirmative side up held their proof upon the principles that production must he maintained, and industrial peace secured. The Judges for the debate were Pro fessor Thomas L. Kline, of Gettysburg College, Professor O. R. Meyers, Jun iata College, Mr. B. F. Geary.Attornoy at-luw, of Lock Haven, who voted unan imously in favor of the Nittany team.

SIX FROSH APPEARED AT LAST TRIBUNAL MEETING Robert Roberts Receives Heaviest Punishment Because of His “Freshness” and Many Dates The Student Tribunal again reigned supreme last Wednesday evening when it had brought before it six members of the freshman class.. F. F. Ferguson appeared first and presented credentials which permitted the Tribunal to grant that he need only observe one semes ter of college customs. W. W. Mc- Combs was next on tho list and received a warning as to his alleged insubordin ate utterances about the campus. A fair warning was deemed sufficient to correct his attitude and he was excused with the understanding that further nets of misconduct would result In a more severe penalty. On the evening of 'November twolfth Herbert Jones was seen in the com pany of one of the fair sex and was duly reported. It was during House Party week-end, however, and for this and no other reason he was given the light task of transcribing the stated rule in the Freshman Bible two hun dred times. For having his overcoat unbuttoned and wearing a - sweater underneath it instead of a coat, Floyd Graff was com manded to write the rule pertaining to this offense one thousand times. Thom as C. EJey was charged with carrying safety matches Instead of the more suit able luclfer type, and will now carry a large wooden match from the seventh to eleventh inclusive. Appearing before the Tribunal with charges of general freshness and of having had numerous dates, Robert Roberts has been ppntencsd'-td wear football jersey with pads and‘a sign "I strut my stuff”, until the Christmas vacation period begins. After Robert returns he is to receive a haircut, wear a dress, and a bird cage for two weeks.

Would you, by the wildest ustitnute, say s2o,uuu a year? And yet that is the sum and substance of .what Hugo Bezdek turned down Wednesday afternoon when he telegraphed his regrets to President Baker of the Philadelphia National Baseball Club, and told him that he preferred to remain the Athletic Director of Penn State. The golden dreams of a pennant win ning team for the Phillies were knoe*ked sky-high by “Bex’s" announcement and, while the news was not. entirely un expected by the student body, it came ns u longed-for confirmation of their hopes. On the other hand, though, the announcement was u complete surprise to the baseball world, and a number of the big-city newspapers had already oegun to prophesy whut the thought ful little Lion's couch would do in the professional baseball world, 'f ile history or the offer runs some cn.ng lute tnis: “Bez’ was approucheu auoui three years ago by tho Phillies w.th a contract to munugo their club, .vhtch was not even considered at the tune. Some time later, however, sever al rather discouraging incidents oc curred that blurred a bright outlook tor Penn Suites atiilet.es and the Phillies, quick to take advantage uf the head couch's receptive mood, repeated their offer with an increase in the salary of fered. In' view of tho prevailing circum stances and the tempting salary, “Bez" was influenced to consider the offer, and the 4'un began. Swayed now to the one side und now to the other by the influences that were brought to bear upon ids decision, “Bez" found himself in u position where he hud to decide once for all whether he would continue in college athletics or would abandon that field fur the much wider and more lucrative professional basobull world. Both sides planned extensive cam- paigns to win him to their interests and the light was uncertain until after, tile eiose of the football season, when “Bez” had promised to announce his decision. But from the very start, the battle resolved itself into one of ideals and higii standards of character versus commercialism, utid both Penn State and the general public watched closely to see which side would win out in the final analysis. With the odds slightly in favor of tho college world, there is little doubt that the rousing mass meeting that was held just before the Penn State-Pitt (Continued on fourth page) PENN STATE MANDOLIN CLUB FORMS QUARTET IVill Furnish Various Types of Music—Plan for Several Winter Entertainments A mandolin quartet has been formed by members of the Penn State - utndolin Club, and has originated from the gen era) inactivity which surrounded the progress of the organization during the foottmlt season. This group of players has been furnishing entertainment which vurlos from Jazz music to the more difficult interpretation of folk songs and dances. The quartet recently entertained the members of the Spanish and French Clubs at their weekly* meetings, and at a request from the authorities of the Westorn Penitentiary they will give a short concert there next Sunday. A great many opportunities are weekly being presented to the mandolin quartet for such music, and they hope to devel op it so that they may partake in the many forms of entertainment that are current about the campus. The personnel of the quartet is not always the same, for the Club la often forced to substitute various players as the occasions arise.

WELFARE CAMPAIGN NEEDS STUDENT AID Success of Emergency Building Fund Depends Upon Response to “Try to Get $1000” Movement CAGEHEN PRESENT DIFFICULT PROBLEM Daily Practice Becomes Intensive In Preparation for Opening Game With Juniata BEST COMBINATION NOT YET FOUND BY COACH Strenuous practice for two hours ev ery evening is the program through which Coach Hermann is driving his squad of varsity basketball candidates to whip them into shape for the open ing game against Juniata College. Al though the propects for the coming schedule are much brighter than they were at this time last year. Hermann is not satisfied with the progress being made so far and he is working hard to form an evenly balanced team and to smooth out the rough spots of the candidates. The material on hund with which "Dutch" has to build his team offers a large number of contenders for the var ious positions although in some of the positions there are not enough candi dates to allow the choice of the best possible man to fIU the place so as not to leave a weak spot in the team. Coach Hermann Is having a problem of this nature in trying to select a play er to act as center. So far In practice he has had only four men striving in that capacity, a number which he does not consider sufficient to offer the best competition. At present another problem which confronts the basketball mentor. Is that of forming two new forwards, at least until the football squad returns from the Pacific coast and relieves several men who ure very much needed among the quintet candidates. For the first game next Thursday and the second game during the first week of Janunry the coach must rely on comparatively new men and is stilt trying to find the best possible combination from last year's freshman squad and the varsi ty substitutes. Promising Material So far this season the daily practice has shown some of the most depend able material and the work now re mains for the candidates to be smoothed into shape and into the best playing combination. Although the supply of centers is limited, Shair '24, varsity center last season. Fixter *24 who played center for his freshman team, Xies, '23 and Ramsay '25 are offering a fairly varied source for varsity cen ter this year. Among the men to fill the forward positions are Gorlmrrit ’25 who played center during his freshman year. Stuckman *25 who played a very llnshy game last season with the year lings. Fatzlnger '24. Marshall '23. Fell ■25, and Mensch *25. Reed ’24. one of the most dependable players of last sea son’s varsity has not come out for reg ular practice on account of football but spends some time every ovening in handling the ball. For guards, there are two veterans from last season. Captain Koehler ’23 and Loeffler ’24. Huber '25, R. L. Jones '23, and Gillespie '25 are some of the guard candidates who are showing up favorably.

The cast Includes several new characters who are being added to the Players’ repertoire group. Mr. Cloetingh, director of the Players, is also holding daily trials for the next super-production which will be given in February. The show is to be the road production of the season, and will jour ney extensively throughout the state, playing before many high school and club audiences. The cast has not been chosen yet but It Is hoped that rehearsals will begin next week. Miss Ethel C. Sparks presented, last evening in the Women’s Building before the D. A. R. "Pandora's Box." a play in two scenes written by J. Gordon Amend of the English Department. It was enacted with success and'easts no little honor on the actress -as well as on the writer. The first act of the play, which was written especially for Miss Sparks, con tains only two speeches, relying for Its carrying power on pantomine. It Is a series of moods in color and dancing. The second act opened with a dialogue between Pandora and a mirror and Is Pandora and her Box as it might have been, if she had lived today.

President Thomas and Hugo Bezdek are speaking at tonight's meeting, which is called at six forty-five so as to inter fere as little as possible with the senior class dance. A further explanation of the student volunteer movement was given yester dad to clarify the object to some who may not fully understand it. When a student signs a participation eard it is an indication that he offers to use his "host endeavors" to secure subscrip tions at home for "at least slooo*', ami there is no obligation attached that he must secure that amount. He agree*. In other words, to get as much as pos sible, but should not be content to stop with $lOOO, for it is possible for a good salesman to secure several times that amount with not much work, ns has been proved by a number of energetic alumni solicitors. "That three days of extra vacation at Easter time looks good to me, and I'm going after it hard", said n member of the freshman class as he signed up for the campaign sorvlco yesterday at headquarters. The work of organiza tion has continued under the direction of the various county clubs during the past ten days and it may be that up wards of one thousand students will ! volunteer before the vucation starts next Friday. The extra vacation re ward is bnsed on one day for $5OO In subscriptions, and three days for $lOOO or more. Students working In twos and threes should meet with success prob ably better than working alone. Some very valuable Penn State salesman ship pointers were brought out at the Tuesday night meeting when Messrs. Packenham, DeCainp, White, and Keller of the faculty, spoke to the volunteers. The campaign fund passed the $850.- 000 mark yesterday and is still growing slowly but steadily. President Thomas returned last night from a week's visit to western Pennsylvania in the inter ests of the campaign, and will do some extensive travelling in the coming weeks on this mission. He was the first to sign one of the SIUOn Christinas va cation soliciting cards, and many facul ty members have followed his example, in addition to the student volunteers. Hogs and Sheep Help Among the most recent developments have l»een the pledging of $3600 by the Poiand-Chinu swine breeders of Fayette County ami the promise of one or two wool fleeces a year for three years by many of the sheep growers on McKean. Indiami, ami Mercer Counties. Other sheep growing counties are expected to follow this action and a large amount is expected to be added in this way for tiie dormitory unit to he erected by the livestock interests of the state. On Monday Professor A. A. Borland, head of the Dairy Husbandry deixirtineni sent the following message to head quarters: “Delegates representing 10,000 milk producers vote one dpy’s milk supply during the month of May to the college fund. Will mean about $25,000. Thank God and take courage!" This generous donation, the first-of its kind over made to a college in this country, will also help build the dormitory unit which the livestock Industry will provide. BISHOP F. H.
