Edmonds, chapel speaker, told an interviewer in predicting that a six-hour day for all workers would be practiced within the next ten years New machine inventions and better regulation of production will bring about a five-day week in which the workers need put in only six hours or less a day, Dr. Edmonds said A great new industry will arise and bring the world out of the depres sion, ha said, although he didn’t know what it would be. 1 Head of a prominent law firm in Philadelphia, Dr. Edmonds has been a professor of law at Swarthmore Col lege and a member of the State Tax commission of 1924. He is consid ered an authority on taxation and labor and their legal aspects.

Fleming Predicts Entrance Of Yale , A rmy in Ring G roup Graduate Manager Foresees Constant Growth of Intercollegiate Boxing Association Predicting eventual entrance of Army and Yale into the Eastern In tercollegiate Boxing association Neil |M. Fleming, graduate manager of athletics, stated yesterday that the group will continue to grow in power and activity despite the fact that the Navy relinquished membership re cently. “Of course we all will miss the polorful teams Navy always sent into league competition,” Mr. Fleming said, "but I feel that this loss will not hinder the growth of the associa tion into its natural position as lead er of intercollegiate boxing in the East. I look forward to even greater interest in the league by all con cerned in the future." When questioned as to whether Navy’s recent move would be a blow to college boxing in general, the graduate manager pointed out that the Academy’s statement had made it clear that the action was not to be construed in such a manner. He added, however, that college boxing had taken such a strong hold on both students and the public that such ac tion by any one institution could STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1931 prcssion is absurd “The breweries at their pre-war height never employed more than 125,000 men and, for every man em ployed in brewing, two are ruined for work by over-consumption of that product,” he said “Also machine methods would lessen the number of workers needed “There is a gicat oppoitunity for a genius in your generation to rise up and solve the problems of the coun try,” Di. Edmonds said. “The coun try is j'ust sitting around and waiting for someone to lead it." Such a leader must solve the prob lem of the unemployables, those per sons who have not the training or temperament to do useful work, Dr. Edmonds said, since no one of the present generation has been able to grapple with the tangle.

Tribunal, Rush said, would make eveiy effort to deal real justice in all cases this year by thorough investi gation of all complaints before trial iand by leaving final decisions to a jury composed of three or five ■up perclassmen The j’uncs will be picked at random from members of the two 'upper classes and meetings of the body will be held every month, if possible, in Room 405, Old Main Following last year’s policy, any students who desire to attend the meetings will be per mitted, with the exception of fresh men Asks Societies To Help Tw’o “hat societies,” Druids and Friars, will be requested to assist m enforcing customs, in addition to the sophomore class, which has always been most active in keeping the new students within the icgulntions In ths near future, said Rush, Tribunal policies would Be definitely decided in a conference with Dean of Men, Ar thur R.

Eighteen first-year men were ex cused from fieshman customs at the meeting of Student Tribunal Friday night. Most of these had undergone customs at othei colleges and many were entering as sophomores. hardly retaid it to any great degree. As evidence of the popularity of college boxing m general and tbe as sociation in particular, Mr. Fleming cited the number of colleges and in stitutions which have requested en trance into the league He believes that Army and Yale are most likely to become new members of the asso ciation Coach Leo Houck of the Nittany rmgmen expressed much the same opinion as Mi. Fleming He believes that Navy’s abdication from the as sociation is a real loss to all five re maining teams, but forecasts the con tinued and rapid use of the associa tion despite this. “I’m sony that our boxers will no longer meet Navy as a member of the association, for they were high spots for us m both dual and tourna ment competition. Howcvei, we arc facing what the futuie of the league may bring with great anticipation, foi we feel that the teams who may gain entrance and the fine schools al leady lcprescnted will piovide eveiy bit as much competition and color as did the Navy," Coach Houck con cluded.

EDMONDS DEFINES PURPOSE OF LIFE ‘Goal Is Personality,’ Philadelphia Lawyer Declares in Sundaj ' Morning Chapel Talk That achieving a personality is the aim of life was expressed by the Honorable Fiankhn Spencer Ed monds, Philadelphia lawyer, in an ad dress before the first rcguiai chapel service in Schwab auditorium Sun day mornnig "Of course,” Dr Edmonds added, “environment is linked with person ality and the one is directly depend ent on the other. Because a student has come to Penn State fiom a dis tant city is no reason that his per sonality has been changed ” Life is what one is and may be de fined as the development of a person ality of power, the Philadelphia law yer declaied. He added that life it self is far moic important than earn ing a living, for the latter leads one to become self-centered. As a remedy«for the present un employment, Dr. Edmonds expressed his opinion that those who arc unem ployed and untrained should be train ed by society. He continued by say ing that in the future there will be no wais to keep colonies in subjec tion.
