NOTED EVANGLIST TO HOLD CAMPAIGN Arthur Rugh, in Charge of “Y” in China Is Coming Next Month WAS IMPORTANT SPEAKER AT SILVER BAY MEETING Arthur Rugh. noted student evan gelist. is coming to State College to conduct tin evangelistic campaign Feb ruary second to fourth. An invitation to visit Penn State was extended to him by the Xlttany delegation at Sil ver Ray last June, but the many de mands ui>oii him hnvo mado it Impos sible to be certain of his acceptance before this time. The local ’Y. M. C. A. forces are delighted since Mr. Rugh was by far the most popular of the two dozen speakers who addressed the con ference. At present Mr. Rugh is head of the Student Y. M. C. A. work for the en tire nation of China. He Is now on furlough and has yielded to preasuro and conducted threc-day evangelistic campaigns hi some of the leading uni versities of the country. While ho is fully aware of the grave nature of social and international problems that confront the world, he feels that what is needed most at the present time is a straight forward presentation of the gospel message. While He is full of humor and has a vocabulary which students can follow easily, his chief appeal to the students comes from the large vision he lias of the reality value of the spirit of Jesus Christ in men's livos. Mr. Hugh's first appearance at State College will be at eleven-ten o'clock Friday morning. February second. The college has granted a convocation at Unit hour which means that all classes will be dismissed in order that the stu dent body may have the full chance to appropriate what Mr. Rugh is at tempting to bring. He will speak again Friday. Saturday, arid Sunday evenings. PROF. DUNAWAY RECEIVES DEGREE OF PH. D. AT COLUMBIA W. F.

Student Council Disa Undesirabi The first meeting of Student Council for the year was held last Tuesday night and was a discussion of condi tions on the campus concerning stu dent welfare. The laxity In the ob servance of customs, the need of new uniforms for tho band, the possibility of constructing a skating rink were a few of tho more important Items of business considered at this time. Probability that the Penn State Band will be given new uniforms in the near future was embodied In the report of W. R. Auman, chairman of the committee appointed by the Presl blent of the Council to investigate this matter. The report stated that twen ty-five hundred doliors would be need ed to equip one hundred men with new uniforms and that two thousand dollars of this amount had been prac tically promised by the college and by the Athletic Association. Tbe remain ing five hundred dollars would neces sarily come from the interclass Treas urer. When N. M. Fleming was in terviewed concerning this, he ex plained that the amount must be in cluded In the budgets of the various classes and that since the budgets had been drawn up and approved for this STATE COLLEGE.

The re port further stated that Bandmaster Thompson recognizes tbe need of the band for capes or some type of over coat and that he feels that some such garment should be provided before next foil. The chairman of the committee ap pointed to revise the present list of customs reported on the recommenda tions of the committee. Several new customs appear in the list and some of the old customs have been revised or abolished to meet present condi tions on the campus. Ratification of the new list will probably be effected at the next meeting of the Council and will appear in a following Isbuo of the COLLEGIAN. Attention of the Council was called to the laxity in the observance of cus toms on the campus during the past few years. The need for a revival was emphasized. President Lane appoint ed a committee to arrange for and car ry on a campaign which would focus student opinion in this regard.

The game will start promptly at six-thirty o'clock Saturday night in the Armory, to bo followed by the varsity contest at seven-thirty. Opening as it lines the freshman schedule for the season, the Juniata five offers an uncertainty that makeß the probable outcome of the game doubtful. This Is the first yeur that the Juniata Reserves have been placed on the freshman tosser's card. Tho yearling quintet will enter the contest practically untried and with no exper ience except in high or preparatory school athletics. As a result of drily practice, a ten tative team to start the game against the Deserves Saturday has been choc on. The team will probably consist of McDonald and Hood, forwards; Rich mond, Onyx or Mlchnlcskl, guards; Jarmolourz, center. Both Jarmolourz and McDonald are six-footers. Jar molourz was center on the famous Pas saic City championship high school 'earn of New Jersey last season. Hood will shoot the fouls and appears very efficient in that capacity. The tentative frosh line-up has play ed together for several days and their combination appears to bo well bal anced. As an Indication of their strength, they managed' to run up a score of 16 points against the varsity substitutes who lH points, in one of the practice periods. FIRST UNIT OF DORM TO BE READY BY FALL The new men's dormitory is lining rapidly completed and while it will not he ready for occupancy at the sum mer session, as was for a while ex pected, it will be finished by the be ginning of the next school year. In regard to the amount expended the building is estimated to be one third done, although actually the construc tion has proceeded to a greater ex tent, the walls being constructed to the height of the third story, and the concrete for the third door being poured. The roof is soon to be put The new dormitory is located near New Beaver field, and will he one of the finest buildings on the campus when completed. The plans and speci fications for’the Varsity Hall are all in and bids for its construction are now in the hands of the trustees. It is now entirely In the hands of the trustees as to what Is to be done about this building, whether or not there are at present sufficient funds to continue with Its immediate construction.

Harry Wilson, Penn State football (continued on last page) THESPIANS PLAN FIRST PRODUCTION OF YEAR “The Lillie Whopper” Is Chosen As Initial Play for 1923 Dramatic Season Tlu- Thespians have chosen for tin* vehicle in which they will seek the ap proval-<if tin- student iHKIy. the popu lar musir.-ii comedy “The Little Whop per." The play is laughable and the music is both Isviutiful and catchy. The pint embroils two beautiful col lege girls in a series «f amazing and amusing adventures. "The Little Whopper" was chosen from a list of musical comedies that includcil many of the most popular of recent years as being lu-st fitted for the interests and demands of students from sixteen to sixty. It ran with great suecess in New York and wan carried throughout the east. Musical nid dramatic critics have given it a great mime. Tho presentation of such a successful comedy by the Thespians guarantees to the students one of the foremost successes of the year. The musical comedy will be under the direction of most able directors. The return of Albert Hang to the col lege will l-e welcomed by tho many friends he left here. It will be remem bered that Mr. Lang was in charge of the presentation of "The Fair Co-ed", the popular success of hist year; and the manner in which that comedy waa presented gives a good Indication of the thoroughness with which the Thespians are approaching their pres ent medium. Mr. Lang is a profes sional actor of thirty years experience both in acting and directing. Hie pro ductions are marked with none of the oar marks of an njneteur performance. To assist Mr. Lang, a professional di rector of musical and dancing chorus es will be brought from New York. This brings to this year's performance an element whose absence bos been much regretted in the past several years. A well trained dancing chorus will feature the performance. "The Little Whopper" gives promise of being the whopper performance of the season. A large cast is called for and tryouts will t>e held in the near future. Several of the prominent leads of Inst year's show are eligible, but the size of the cast gives plenty of opportunity for new talent. The cist calls for three feminine leads and three male leads with the addition of large choruses. WRESTLING TRIALS Wrestling trials in all classes for the Intercliiss Meet will be held Tuesday. January 10. at 5 :3<i p. in. Two pounds over weight will be allowed. Those desiring to compete should sign up immediately in the Armory.
