Student Council Lifts Bans on
Night of Jubilee Singers’
Entertainment
Every freshman can “step-out" in the
Fisk Jubilee Singers concert next Tues
day night without fear of exposure and
the enauaut tonsoriul applications. For
next Tuesday night customs are off, by
special grant of the Student Tribunal,
so ever)' freshman, inale and feinule,
can hear the llnest group of colored
artists ever to come to Penn State.
These Jubilee Singers, whose aim ia
to build up their southern colored uni
versity. will, by their singing, aid tho
northern Pennsyhania college, by
helping build an activities building for
women. Ail the receipts from the con
cert will be turned over to the girls'
endowment fund to be applied on the
proposed activities building, which will
be one of the outcomes of the $2,000,000
campaign.
From the favorble criticisms that
the Jubilee Singers have received from
every part fo the country and on the
Continent, it would seent that no person
in State College, or within motoring
distance could afford to lose this oppor
tunity of hearing the singers.
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:

ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT
PLANS SKATING RINK
West Campus Considered as Lo
cation for Rink—Ski Run and
Jump Considered
The Athletic Department, under the
direction of Hugo Bezdek, after care
fully surveying all prospects of putting
a bating rink into operation this win
ter, decided that nothing would be done
at present but has detailed plans well
formulated which will be carried out as
soon as possible.
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

Present time the large corn field adjoin

DEBATERS DEFEAT
PITT AND W. & J.
Forensic Artists Open Season
With Double Victory in Tri
angular Debate, 3-0, 2-1
LION WILL FACE NORTH
DAKOTA AGS IN JANUARY
The Penn State debaters won a doub
le victory lust Wednesday evening, de
feating the W. & J. forensic artists 3-0
here and the Pitt team 2 - 1 at Pitts
burgh. 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.
The next debate of tho seuson will
lie held here on January tenth with tho
North Dakota Agriculture College, con
cerning tho question of the advisability
of the nationalization of the school sys
tem, as ombodied in the Towner-Ster
ling Bill.
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.

Nittany Mentor Surprises Base

to Coach Phillies
CONSIDERED PROPOSITION
FOR LAST THREE YEARS
Rousing Mass Meeting Previous to
the Penn Stale-Pilt Game Con
sidered Big Influence
How much dues Penn Suite spirit
ami a love of ideals mean to you?
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

The quartet recently entertained the

Success of Emergency Building Fund
Depends Upon Response to “Try

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. Wilson '24.

PLAYERS TO APPEAR AT

Rehearsals are being conducted by the
Players at the present time for three

uary seventeenth. 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

PRICE FIVE CENTS
The manner in which the students
support the volunteer "try to get a
thousand dollars*’ movement which will
roach an important stage at the mass
meeting tonight, will mean much to
the success or failure of the emergency
building fund according to an an
nouncement from headquarters yester
day.
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.
