‘SIX-HOUR DA Y COMING
SOON/ EDMONDS SAYS
College Students Work * Longer Now Than in
Future Professions, Lawyer Declares
‘‘Your college days are filled with
a greater number of working hours
than you'll have in the future,” Dr.
Franklin S. 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.
Modification of the Eighteenth
Amendment is due soon, according to
Dr Edmonds, not sc much on the ac
count of the increase in the so-called
wet-sentiment as from a reaction of
the former prohibitionists against
legislation which restricts the liberty
of men.
“The saloon will never return,”
said the lawyer, “but the chances are
that the states or the nation will
take over the sale of any intoxicating
liquor. The much-voiced belief that
the renewal of the brewing mdustiy

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

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 TO URGE
‘HELLO’PRACTICE
Rush *32, Student Court Head,
Assures Justice in All
Code Violations
"Wc want to bring ‘Hello,’ back to
the Penn State campus,” said Karl
K Rush, ’32, head of the Student Tri
bunal, in an interview with the
Collegian yesteiday.
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. Warnock, and H. Aubrey
Myers, head of Student Council
“The Student Tribunal will attempt
to perfoim its regular function this
year even better than before, m spite
of the Inrger number of freshmen
with whom we have to deal,” said
Rush.
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.

An Egyptian theme will be used

to an announcement mad-' yosterda\
by Charles W. Rice ’32, oditor-m
-chicf of the College yeaibook. The
cover and artistic design of the book
will feature drawings of a subdued
Egyptian character
Officials of the staff spent pare of
the summer \isiting museums and
collecting sketches for the artwork
Several drawings have been submit
ted already including a fashionable
cover design. It is intended that the
theme will not be over cmnliasuzcri n
the book, but that it will serve as an
attiactive background
The lmers just inside the cover
will not display diawings in consis
tence with the theme as hcrctofoie
but will contain a map or two of the
College campus, similiar to those
sketches on sale in town Individual
pictmcs of the seniors will be larger
than last year and will be arranged
eight to a page.
To Enlarge Belles Section
The popular belles section of last
year will be resumed on a larger
scale. The staff has decided that the
choice will not be restricted to the
senior class. A student committee
will select pictures of eligible candi
dates from all classes and submit
them for final election to a promin
ent theatrical producer, probably
from New York City
The sports book will be incieased
in size by* a section including mtio
mural sports Staff officials will
endeavor to give each of these sports
a single page with probably pictures
of the winners, managers, and
trophies
In consideration of the way in
which last year’s staff exceeded then
budget of expenses, the intciclass
budget committee has granted an in
crease of approximately 8300 in the
1932 LaVic appropriation This will
guarantee a yearbook of no lower
quality than that of last year.
