ASSESSMENTS REDUCED
Student Board Rejects Initial
Proposal Drawn Up by
Finance Group
Removal of the $lO salary for mem
bers of the class dance committees
and, departure from giving bonuses
to committee chairmen and class
presidents who will receive a $75
salary are included in the Inter-Class
Budget for 1932, Emanuel Perkin '32
chairman of the Inter-Class finance
committee, has announced.
Since the first budget submitted by
the finance committee was rejected by
Student Board and returned to the
group headed by Perkin with recom
mendations, these salary changes
have yet to be approved by Student
Board. The Board will meet Thurs
day.
Limit Bonus Conditions
Last year when salaries were in
stituted, two complimentary tickets
,ere allotted to members of the class
dance committees and a bonus of $5O
was given to class presidents and
dance chairmen if their dance was a
financial success. This year the sal
ary was increased to $75 and the pos
sibility of a bonus removed
To make up for the $BOO deficit m
ean-ad by the Senior Ball committee
last year, the Inter-Class Dance group
has cut out favors for this year's
Senior Ball. At the request of the
Sophomore Hop committee. the Hop
has been reduced from a $5 function
to a $4 affair and favors are to be
omitted
In addition, the class budget allot
ments have been reduced from the
amounts of last year Senior Ball
last year was budgeted at $2,500,
while this year the figum is $2,200
The amount to be used this year for
Soph Hop is approximately $l,OOO less
than the allotment of last year. This
reduction has been made possible by
omitting favors and removing the
salaues of the committee members
and is shown in the price of admis
sion.
One Orchestra for Prom
The price of Junior Prom has been
cut from $7 to $6, this change br
ing brought about by eliminating one
of the two orchestras and by the re
moval of the $lO salary to members
of the committee.
Since Military Ball is handled
through the department of military
science and tactics and the Interfra•
ternity Bull is in complete charge of a
committee selected from the members
of the Interfratermty Council, they
have been omitted from the Inter-
Clash Dance Budget.
It is the plan of the finance com
mittee and Student Board that the
complimentary list be reduced, Per
kin said. Complimentaty tickets to
members of the Military Ball and In:
terfraternity Ball committees have
been removed from the list. Mem
bei s of the class dance committees
will receive two complimentary tick
ets to then• own dance and one to each
of the other two class dances.

SENATE LENGTHENS
FALL SEMESTER IN
1932.33 CALENDAR
Faculty Group Adds Week to
First Period Following
Meeting Thursday
REJECTS 2 SUGGESTIONS
OF COMMITTEE, BOARD
Thanksgiving, Easter Recesses
Will Remain Unchanged
'Despite Proposals
Lengthening of the first semester
by one week taken from the second
suss the only major change adopted by
the College Senate Thursday night
when it accepted the 1932-33 calendar
after consideration of proposals by
the Senate committee which were ap
proved by the Student Board.
The transposition of one week was
prompted by the contention that the
first semester IS split up considerably
by periods of inactivity, while the
second period is better suited for con
tinuous study.
The first semester in 1932-33 will
be sixteen weeks and four days and
the second, fifteen weeks and five
days as compared to fifteen weeks
and four days for the first and six
teen weeks and five days for the
second in this year's arrangement.
In both casts the school yeas is thirty
tao weeks and two days
2 Suggestions Defeated
Independence Day will be a Col
lege holiday next year as a result of
Senate action on the calendar Thurs
day However, a proposal for an Ar
mistice Day holiday was rejected by
the faculty body
The plan of a Thanksgiving recess
of only one day was the outstanding
idea defeated - It was the opinion - of
faculty members that students would
cut too many classes at this time with
no fine restriction
An,extended vacation following the
Easter holiday to replace the week in
terval between semesters failed of
acceptance because the Senate appre
ciated the value of this interval as a
transition period for completing the
work of the fist semester and pre
paring for thu second

Modell. moving pictures, especially
those depicting wholesale and unre

tearing down the conventions on which
civilization rests, according to state
ments made by the Right Rev. Wyatt
Brown, bishop of the Episcopal dio
cese of Harrisburg, in an inteiview.
"When you feed people evil, you
must gradually increase the dose,"
Bishop Brown, Nobs spoke at the Sun
day morning chapel services hme,
said. "Consequently, the tendency
for present day moving pictures is to

The dime novel and the cheap nickel

their faults, were more valuable from
the standpoint of moral content than
modern motion pictures, the Bishop
contended. In the older forms of en-
Lederer Refutes
Attack Made on
College Students
"My faith in the American college
student has not yet been shaken,"
Burgess Eugene C. Lederer vehem
ently answers charges that drinking
is on the increase in the colleges of
the nation.
Mr. Lederer, who has recently an
nounced his candidacy for the Con
gressional nomination from this dis
itrict, brands as unfounded charges of
President J. P. Mc,Nichols of Detroit
University that there is more serious
drinking in colleges today than there
was fifteen or twenty yeals ago.
When drinking is present here to
a great extend, it is done by visitors
on week-ends, the burgess claims He
says that the worst offenders are vis
itors to football games, and that even
that evil has declined surprisingly
He believes the decline may be traced
to the fact that Penn State's new ath
letic policy has brought football back
to the student, and that one does not
find here the professional spectators
who attend other big college games.
"Ridiculous and absurd," seas the
Congressional candidate's character
ization of the statement that Morse
than that, what is true of young men
is true of girls ' "Why, MC havn't
had a case of a co-ed's being turned
in for drinking in recent }ears Such
statements can only be construed as
made for sensation."
"You can say for me," Mr Lederer
i concluded, "that when a college stu
'dent does drink, it is because he is
feeling a little blue or discouraged
land not because of disrespect for tho
law. That is my answer to these un-
I founded statements."
