COMMITTEE TENTATIVELY
SETS MARCH 18 AS DATE
Campus Bands Offer Services
Free—Extensive Ticket
Sale Proposed
Students may make their contribu
tion to the student loan fund by at
tending a special all-College dance
tentatively set for March 10, accord
ing to the proposal of a committee
representing all campus activities.
Following the contribution of $O,OOO
by the faculty, $OOO by the parents
association, and considerable numb by
alumni and alumnae, student opinion
seemed to favor having the student
body help out in the cause of their
classmates Dean of Men Arthur R
Warnock estimated that $3,000 would
be needed to help needy upperclass
men through the semester.
Bands Offer Serriees
An extensive campaign to sell tick- i
ets for the dance is proposed by the
committee so that even if some are
unable to attend the dance they may
help out in the fund. The committee
will ask for special arrangements so
that freshmen and women students
will not be hindered from attending.
Several popular campus bands have
offered to furnish music for the occa
sion without remuneration. The com
mittee proposes to have three or four
of these orchestras for the dance if
possible Plans include several enter—
tainment features by student organi
zations.
Mathews Heads Committee
All cork necessary for the donee
should be done by volunteers, the corn
mittee,.headed by Francis L Mathews
'32, proposes. Other members of the
committee are Angelin Bressler '33,
representing the W. S G. A., W. Jay
Kennedy '32, president of Student
Union, H Aubrey Myers '32, president
of Student Council, Hugh R. Riley '32,
editor of the COLLEGIAN, and George
J. Smart '32. ,
"We hope to gain at least a portion
of the sum needed through this dance.
If the student body Noun co-operate by
refraining from scheduling other af
fairs at this time, it will be able to
donate its share towards giving I'd
low students a lift," Mathews said.

Just how the Board of Trustees re

training question it revealed in the
minutes of the January 16 meeting
which were sent to the deans of the
College this morning.
A special committee, headed, by
James. B Warrmer, reported to the
Board. Its report wax accepted Ex
cerpts from the three pages of the
minutes which deal with the military
training decision show the attitude of
the governing body.
"So far as we can determine," the
report said, "the students seem not to
be antagonistic to military training
in itself. The majority of them do
object to compulsory military drill.. .
"They realize that if the emergency
of war arises, they will be called upon
to serve their country and they wish
Ito be prepared to serve in the most
I effectual manner. They know that
other nations have not disarmed, and
that until others show a disposition
to do so, our nation must be prepared
to defend itself against aggression.
"It seems clear to us that the pres
ent situation in regard to military
training 14 not entirely satisfactory,"
the report said. "Our recommenda

James Maxwell Fassett, assistant

States, will give the principal address
at the dinner opening Penn State's
third - Interfraterinty Conference at
the Nanny Lion Inn Friday night,
Paul W. Henderson '32, chairman of
the committee on arrangements, an
manned Sunday.
In the absence of President Hetzel,
Adrian 0. Morse, executive secretary
of the College, will welcome the visit
ing delegates. Wilbur Al Weldon,
executive secretary of Alpha Chi Rho,
will also speak at the opening meet
ing. Mr. Weldon has made a com
plete survey of Penn State's frater
nities and will illustrate his address
with slides depicting conditions exist
ing here.
To Hold Luncheons
Among the national fraternity pres
idents who rill attend the conference
are Horace J. Barnes of Phi Sigma
Kappa and Park B. Frayne of Alpha
Kappa Pi. A representative of Ban
ta's Greek Exchange will also attend
the sessions and will lead the discus
sion group at the meeting of chapter
publications' editors Saturday after
noon.'
'Luncheons for chapter presidents,
caterers, scholarship chairmen, treas
urers, and advisers will be held at
1:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
These sessions will be held at frater
nity houses which were picked by the
committee at a meeting yesterday af
ternoon. The discussions are ex
pected to last most of the afternoon,
Henderson said.
May Hold Smoker
Mr. Fassett 'serves as advisor to
the Attorney General on corporation
'mergers and is active in interfrater
mty activities as well as in those of
his sun fraternity, Beta Theta Pi. He
is a graduate of Colgate University
and Harvard Law School and is a
member of Phi Beta Kappa, national
honorary fraternity In 1930 he was
admitted to practice in the Supreme
Court of the United States
Although no definite announcement
has been madb it is probable that the
delegates will be entertained at either
a smoker or a mass meeting Saturday
night. A definite topic for the two
day conference has not been selected
but will deal in a general way with
fraternity problems
in various branches of military
balance, including infantry drill, to
cover, so far as is practical, all phases
of national defense
"2. That these branches, excepting,
of course, infantry drill and tactics,
be designed to supplement the gen
eral academic courses the individual
students are now taking
"3. That the various branches be
elective, but that a passing grade in
one branch be required for gradua
tion.
"4. That regular College eredas,
on the same busk as for other studles,
be allowed for the work as stated m
item one
"5. That these recommendations
be submitted to the officers and fac
ulty of the 'College to be put into prac
tical detailed farm, and that they be
reported back to the Board for final
action."
"Probably at first these electives
will have to be limited to a few broad,
general, and more important branches
in the interest of economy and effi
ciency. Probably the fall of IBM is
the earliest possible date that the
move can be made effective. We feel,
howe,er, that the plan is practical
and that it is a constructive forward
step for the College to take."
