Bnrrere is known not only as a mu

of anecdotes from different lands
Many of his witty stories deal with

of it
The success of the Ensemble is evi

Cornelius Woelfkin To
Address Chapel Sunday
Cornelius Woelfkin, who will speak
at chapel Sunday, is one of the fore
most men m the ministry today. In
1905 he was graduated from Rutgers
with a D. D degree and afterwards
obtained degrees from Rochester uni
versity, Denison, Franklin & Marshall,
Colgate, and New York universities.
Mr. Woelfkin was ordained a Bap
tist minister m 1886 and has held
prominent charges in eastern United
States since that time. He was twice
a lecturer and convocation preacher
at Chicago university during 1908 and
1909 and was also president of the
American Baptist foreign missionary
society. Mr. Woelfkm is also trustee
of the Rochester Theological Semin
ary, director of the Union Theological
Seminary and a member of New York
university council.

FIVE FRATERNITIES
ASSAIL PROPOSED
RUSHING SYSTEM
Object That Chapters With New
Homes Would Benefit by
Two-weeks* Season
THIRTY-FOUR SILENT ON
COUNCIL’S'QUESTIONARY
Investigating Committee Secures
No Response—Points to
Codes Elsewhere
Basing their objections chiefly on
the supposition that fraternities with
new homes would benefit by the adop
tion of the proposed rushing code, five
houses have voiced their opmions in
letters to W. C. Ament '27, chairman
of the committee appointed to investi
gate conditions and to frame a satis
factory code, by the Inter-fraternity
council
Ament expressed himself as being
dissatisfied with the attitude which
fraternities have taken toward the let
er sent them. Thirty-nine letters
were mailed askirg for co-operation
and but five groups have answered.
“I believe that a system whereby
there would be a two-weeks’ rushing
season would help the smaller fratern
ity m its problem. In two weeks the
freshman will have had an opportunity
to look over the groups and judge
correctly, disrcgaidmg the glamor of
a beautiful home,” declared Ament.
The committee has received answers
from other institutions regarding their
rushing codes. These responses have
been of little value to the body as
conditions at most colleges differ
widely’ from the situation here. Large
dormitories where freshmen may live
during rushing season simplifies the
problem materially.
Bought Can, Got
The Can, Before
Dean Canned Him
“Ye stude at the Pennsylvania State
College might do well to take a
wheeze from the muffler of ye stude
at the University of Columbia,” opined
Father Nfarther.
“My ears droop to catch your gems
of wisdom,” brightly responded ye
sophomore stude.
“Ods bodkins, ’tis said that the
chief pastime at the University con
sists m tinkering with animated junk
heaps labeled “Passion B—Columbia,
the Gem of Motion” and other spright
ly vulgarities A youth named Camp
bell bought one such curse of the
road born m Detroit and dead ever
since in 1915 for the stupendous out
lay of twelve dollars. Since then 70,-
000 miles have receded from its
tail light. What think ye of such
economical transportation?”,
The second-year lad studiously a
voidcd a reply, but finally muttered in
reference to the Penn game, “If I only
can!”
He bought a can and got canned
before the Dean canned him. Can you
beat that for an illustration of the
power of suggestion?
College Officers Laud
Dads’ Day Celebration
That the last Dads’ Day was the
most successful one Penn State has
ever known is the opinion of College
ofiicers Approximately five hun
dred Fathers attended the Saturday
business meeting, showing the interest
which this institution holds for par
ents.
“Repoi ts from fraternities about tbe
campus,” says Dean Warnock, “indi
cate a leal benefit to the College by
the visit of the Fathers."
“Along anothci line,” he adds, “we
are glad to have the Mothers, but can
not avoid feeling that it would be
better to keep Fathers’ Day and Moth
ers’ Day separate.”
