Again the Nittany Lions of the
gridiron tasted bitter defeat when
Coach Herb McCracken's Lafayette
Leopards rode roughshod over them
to the tune of 33-to-0 in the Maroon
Stadium at Easton, Saturday.
Continuing n their fine first quaiter
play, the Lions battled the Leopards
evenly, yielded two touchdowns to the
fighting Marbon in the second period,
and then wilted following their only
sustained advance at the beginning of
the second half
The Maroon eleven continued to

these setbacks, the fouler by the
score of 16-to-0 and the latter by a
scant 3-to-0 margin, the Maroon team

A regular halfback last year, littl ,
Al Socolom, smallest player on the
Lafayette squad, broke through the
Nittany forward wall , and eluded the
Lion secondary to run sixty-four
yards for the last Maroon touchdomn
just before the final whistle blow.

After the Lions had faded in then

spirit in an effort to .mase the thrill

Beaver field two years ago, when
Tutz Diedrich took a pass from
Cooper French and ran spay yards
for a Lion victory after the final
whistle had sounded.

Thiee hundred and seventy stu
dents are seeking work of all kinds

they cannot-remain in College unless
they receive work, Harry W. Sea
mans, secretary of the Christian as
sociation, reported Sunday.
"Not infrequently students are dis
covered who are actually living with
out enough to nourish themselves
properly, they find it necessary to
use all their available funds for
school supplies and room," Mr. Sea
mans said.
At least 125 were known to have
conic to College with less than $2OO
as then total resources. Of these
more than, half had less than $l5O
and sonic were known to have $lOO or
less as their entire capital for going
to College
College fees total between $7O and
$l5O each semester and it is estmi
at,d that the absolute minimum ex
pense for a student during the Col
lege year is $6OO.
An appeal Sons sent out last week
by the Christian association to fac
ulty members asking ,thorn to find
small jobs so that students might
be aided in continuing them College
cat eers. Mr. Seamans suggested
that persons: having rooms not now
being used, could arrange to allots
students to base them in% return for
slo•ng odd jobs such as firing fur
naces.

lion Present Financial
Crisin Will Be Ended
"When men become sufficiently
'inpatient with things as thay urn,
they will begin to put their know
ledge, feelings, dreams and hopes to
gether, and so lead the world out of
tin prment financial crisis,' Rev.
Harold F Carr, pastor of the Asbury
University church, Unnersity of
Pennsylvania, said Sunday morning
in the chapel address in Schwab au
ditorium.
In dinussing "The Impatience of
Chi istlanity," Reverend Carr said
that religion, as it is today on colloge
campuses, is not a nervous and weak
impatience, but a decided and deep
feeling accompanied With a tense
souse of waiting
Man lives to a hope for a better
day and for a finer personality and
chatacter, instead of leading a ',st
ies% existence, the speaker said. Ile
added that this vats the reason par-
ents the world ever stave to place
their children in a higher and firm
social sphere.
"Faith en the assurance of things
hoped 'for, of u greater day, and an
evidence of future things not yet
seen," Res creed Curr concluded.

WOMEN'S GROUPS
WILL PLAN DANCE
Council To Consider Possibility
Of Boring Panhellenic Ball
~,, In First Semester
A Panhellenic Ball, sponsored by
all unarm's, fraternities, will bs dis
cussed at a meeting of the Panhell
enic Council at 4 o'clock this after
noon in the apartment of Dean of
Women Charlotte E. Ray.
The ball, which will be the first af
fair of its kind held by the combined
women's social groups on this cam
pus, will be similar in arrangement
to,that sponsored by the men's fra
ternities each year. '•
Phyllis G. Boldler '33, Panhellenic
social chairman, heads the commit
tee in charge of the ball. The other
members of the committee are M.
Lydia Haller '32, Margaret H Miller
'32, Mary B. Zahn '32, and S lota
Everett '33
Mat Tac Fraternities
Although definite plans have not
yet been made, it is probable that the
date for Ora affan nil! fall somatime
in the first semester of this year,
because of the large number of so
cial functiAs usually held during the
second sennster.
The ball will be formal and mill
probithly be held in the Armory, with
a local orchestra furnishing music
Decorathe plans, which have not yet
been decided upon by the committee,
will probably follow a scheme similai
to that of former women's 'functions
held in the same building.
Too methods have bean suggested
for financing the dance, one of which
is to make it n subsciiption affair,
open only to fraternity women and
their escorts -The second suggestion
is that each gioup be taxed a specific
sum.
