Hetzel Envisions University
Of 15,000 Within 50 Years
Students Here Equal Those at Endowed Schools,
President Claims in Speech Before
State Educational Meeting
A university of twelve to fifteen thousand resident students
with a comparable research organization is the vision of Penn
State fifty years from now which President Ralph D. Hetzel pre
sented to the State Education Association at its meeting in Pitts
burgh last week.
Speaking on "Certain University Progiams in the Common
wealth," Dr Het:
eel outlined the
present and fu
ture policy of the
College. He de
fined the College
as a "public in
stitution in the
field of higher
education in very
much the same,
sense as are the
public schools in
secondary educa
tion "
"On account of
ulmission require.
DR. HETZEL ments, the stu
dents of the College represent , in
terms of ability and attitude a group
definitely superior to those admitted
to the state untversities and colleges
of the county and comparable, I am
sure, to those granted admission into
the most discriminating of out endow
ed colleges and umsersittes," the
president said
Dr. Hetzel definitely committed the
College to a full and fair trial of an
athletic policy which emphasizes the
attempt to "make every possible and
reasonable effort to improve the health
and physical well-being of all the
young men and young women seho
come to it seeking the benefits of its
educational ministry" above any other
objective.

MYSTERY EFFECTS
Players Will Employ Intricate Sets
In Production of 'The Black
Flamingo' on Jan. 16
Trait des ices for mystery effects
v.lll make the single set used in ''The
Black Flamingo," to be presented
January 16 by Penn State Players,
one of the most difficult to build,
according to William II A Laudon
singer '32, stage manages for the pro
duction.
With the action of the play taking
place in the interim of an old, broken
down castle which has been trans
formed into a tavern, It will be neces
sary to create an atmosphere of mys
tery which the play demands, Laud
. enslager said. Gilbert S. Shutt 'l2
will design the scenery.
The name of the play is &lived
from the scene of action, the Black
Flamingo tavern, so-culled because
of a painting on the huge stone fire
place in the main room Located on
a load leading from Paris to the bor
der, the tavern is the stopping place
for a party of fugitive nobles.
' An attempt to lob, them, followed
by an attempt on the part of einzed
peasants to kill all in the Thirty adds
zest to the main theme of the stusy,
the mysterious disappearance of a
Jeweled necklace.
Student Leaders Oppose Prohibition,
Score Compulsory Military Training
Opposition of prohibition as it now
exists but refusing to condemn the
Volstead act sins the action taken by
the National Student Federation of
America at' its seventh annual con
vention held in Toledo, Ohio, last
week, If. Aubrey Mye,s '32, one of
the two Penn State delegates at the
convention, reports.
A resolution denouncing prohibi
tion in its present form was intro
duced by James C. Wilson, of the
University of Missouri, and adopted
by a vote of 63-to-10. The second
Imotion made by Laurence A. Pratt,
of Kansas State University, asking
the convention to go on accord as op
posed to the Volstead act was defeat
ed by a 50-to-31 balloting, with thirty
delegates declining to vote Many of
those who favored the previous °so
lution refused to support Pratt on the
ground that his motion was unwise as
a matter of policy.

to manage their own affairs as college
students.
