The date fin the re-showing has been tentatively set for Saturday, March 12, Presented originally as the Senior Ball week-end attraction with net re ceipts to go to the Student Loan fund, the play failed to draw an audience large enough to make expenses. Assigning the reason for the fail ure to the fact that a varsity basket ball game and a boxing meet mere scheduled for the same evening, the Players will probably select this date as one which does not conflict to any great extent with athletic events. A gymnastics meet with Temple is the only event carded for the March date. Preceding the second showing of "The Black Flamingo," the Players will plena "Holiday," a comedy by Philip Barry, Saturday, February 27, under the direction of Frank S. Ness baum, of the department of English Composition. Leading roles will be taken by Barbara Vincent '33 and Peter G. Meek '32. 2 Copies Military Officials Praise New Policy of Trustees Cite Courses in Varied Fields To Replace Required Drill Every school in the College has courses which train men in service valuable to the country anti its army in time of war, officials of the de partment of military science and tac tics said yesterday. Praising the action of the College Trustees in setting up a widespread .plan for national defense training, Captain Winthrop A. Hollyer pointed out that practically every department teaches some courses which are in dispenmble to national defense and relatively as important as any of the work in infantry drill and tactics as taught at present by the military de partment. Exactly 565 trades and professions are listed•in the official army index as necessary to army work. Every type of work from acetylene gas-com pressor operator to "writes of edu cational propaganda" is indicated in the index. Practically every course given in the Engineering School has a definite value in national defense and mobili zation of resources in time of war, the captain pointed out There appeared to be no reason why such, engineering training is not at least as valuable and deserving of credit in military training as any of the courses in the present lineup of training in the de partment of military science and tac tics.

"The new system is a safe-guard for the girl who would be over-burdened to such a point that all her 'cisme time would be taken up by activities " In spring class elections the nom inations board will tally each nom inee's points. If she IS already carry ing her maximum amount of activi ties as indicated by the point total, she will automatkally be barred from other offices. Miriam E. Game '32, chain man of the committee which is responsible for the new point system, explains that the purpose of the system IS to elim inate the possibility of one woman carrying too much responsibility. An gelin Messier '32, vice-president of the W. S G. A, believes that the success of the new arrangement may be determined better after it has been in use a definite time. WOMEN'S SOCIETY TO MOLD TWEE WEEK' FEBRUARY 3 Cwens, women's sophomore honor ary activities fraternity, will sponsor their annual Cwen Week beginning the first week of next month, to promote interest among the freshmen seamen. On Wednesday, February 3, Betty B. Thompson '3l, piesident of Cwens, will speak at a special class meeting when she will explain the purpose and activities of the organization and will distribute pamphlets containing infor mation about the national organiza tion.

STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1932 3 Student Leaders Agree With Change Three leaders of student groUPs have expressed themselses as fav oring the recent action of the Board of Trustees in replacing compul sory dull with other courses. "In addition to fulfilling the Col lege's duty to the country," said Philip G. Cooper '32, student col onel, yesterday, "tire Trustees' ac tion will make the military courses much more interesting and serve a greater purpose for the stu dents " Aaron Druckman '33, president of the 'Social Problems club, said, "Although this is admittedly a great step in the right direction, we should not be satisfied until the compulsory factor in all military training is abolished." One of the best results of the Board's decision as viewed by Wil liam C. Burry '33, advisor to the honorary underclass drill corps, is to end the students' attitude to ward compulsory drill, which he believed to be extremely harmful for the general moi ale. ment, food storage, food mobilization, bacteriology, and veterinary training, ' vats suggested by the captain as val uable to the workings of the army. The Mineral Industries School teaches mine work, fuel technology, and metalurgy, training experts who are essential to the country in war time, the captain said. The School of Physical Education and Athletics has !courses in mass athletics and recrea- I tional leadership that are valuable to army organization and morale, Ode said, _ In the Chemistry and Physics School the highly important chemical warfare technic is taught, while the School of Education trains persons in class room work which is valuable in army orgamsataion and morale he Languages, music, accounting, bookkeeping work, and journalism were among the courses in the Lib eral Arts School listed by Captain Hollyer as necessary to an army or ganization. Military law and history might be added to the pre-legal course to give crdeit in military training, the ' captain suggested "This plan is headed in the direc tion of the best modern national de fense policy," Colonel Walter B. Me- Caskey, head of the department of military science and tactics, said, "and I follows the line which the department has been working along. However, I believe that certain training in the kindling of men in close-order drill and formations Is essential to any army work." GRADUATE STUDENT SUFFERS NERVOUS BREAKDOWN HERE Ralph F Germann, graduate ~tud ent in dairy manufacturing, who ...of fered a nervous breakdown recently, has arrived at the Kansas Hospital at Topeka, Han., where he will be tieated. Germann's father reached State College last Monday in response to a message concerning his son's illness. Having received his B. S. degree at Kansas State last June, Germann was pursuing graduate work here under a dairy products company fellowship which he won in competition last year DECIDED DECRE • CA USED BY DEP That the depression has exercised a decided effect upon the expenditures of Penn State students, is shown in the results of a questlonnaute spon sored by 800 students in twelve -sec tion of English composition 4 and 7 and answered by nearly 1,000 under graduates. Seniors showing an average expen diture of $874.40 last year have es timated then costs at $851.20 for the cusrent school term, while Juniors who spent $83250 will have spent $7Ol 50 before the end of the second semester according to their calculations. Sophomores expect to spend $783 10 as compared to $825 for their fresh man year, while the present fresh men estimate the year's costs at $713.09 In an effort to economize on cer tain items 106 sophomores named movies; 38, clothes; 30, dances; 47, eating between meals and smoking; 21, board; and 5, room.
