Prom meek-end, according to J Ewing "Sock" Kennedy, (I:sec tor of the show. Following the lead of a current musical comedy, the Thespian show will satirize American government from a presidential election campaign to meetings of the senate and diplo matic relations with foreign coun tries. A love affair of the president and a resulting entanglement with his jilted sweetheart adds movement to the general plot. klalmed Takes Lead Edwin S Maimed '33, cast in the role of the presidential candidate, and H.

Dorothy Johnston '33 in the cast, as the jilted sweetheart, share the supporting roles with Rob eit C Ayres '32 and Lucille L. Las key '35, secretaries to the president and his wife. Differing from past Thespian shows, the current comedy follows the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta type with singing and dancing forming a major part of the show. Two sets of choruses, one used entirely for dan cing and the other for singing, aid in carrying out the operetta effect. Dialogue fot the production was written by Kennedy and Kenneth L. Holderman.

Penn State Faculty Members Most Conservative, Morality Study Shows That Penn State faculty members and then wives are the most conser vative of seventeen diffe.nt social groups in regard to moral standards, was one of the findings which came as a by-product from the study of the relation of movies to the nieces made by Dr. Charles C Peters, three tor of educational research, and his associates Dr Peteis found that twerity-fi, e middle-aged Penn State mofessols and then wives weie mole conserva tive than any other group In the ex tent to which they would tolerate people's actions in lo‘emaking, treat ment of children by parents, and democratic conduct. Penn State seniors WrIC among the more cocoon awe element, ranking as a group, with preachers and Men comic farmers in their moral stand ards. Young ladies of the New York City social elite were rather conser vative, mote so than graduate stu dents, but mote liberal than Penn State semis. Social reformers and other intellec tual leaders stele the most libeial of all the moans, Dr. Peters discovered.

DISTRIBUTION OF FLOUR TO COMMUNITY POOR PLANNED Coming from the government through the National Red Cross as sociation a carload of flour will fu me at State College in tno weeks for distribution among the needy, accord ing to 13uigess Eugene H Lederer. Approximately 175 families in the surrounding townships will receive the benefits of the distribution workos and coal miners in western Pennsylvania, and business men in Reading. . "One of the most surprising find ings," soul Dr. Peters, "was the Van ability of moral standards within the group. in the face of the sociologist's dogma of group solidarity. The most conservatrve quarter of any group differed from the aver age of another. "Isolated groups, like Mennonite farmers and Virginia negroes, were rather composite in their standards," he added, "but the groups that get around a great deal, such as social reformers and the New York City elite, were characterized by a great variability in regard to moral stand ards It seems that with the mobility of modern society, true groups, in the sociological sense, have almost ceased to exist." Social groups, on the average, are alike in what they demand in demo cratic practices and treatment of chil d:en by parents, but differ appreci ably in what they will sanction in re gard to kissing. They differ molt in what they will approve in regard to a girl's taking the initiative in love =king,. the survey showed among COLLEGE PREPARES SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR MOTHERS' DAY May 6 Week-end To Open With Concert by Glee Club, Phi Mu Alpha BROOKE WILL SPEAK AT SCHOLARSHIP EXERCISES Athletic Events, Visitors' Tea Annual Co-ed Coronation Fete Scheduled Special programs for the entertain ment of mothers, in addition to dra matic and musical events, still fea ture Mothers' Day week-end May 0 to 8, according to Prof .1 Orvis Kel ler, secretary of the Parents' associa tion The program will open Friday night, May 6, when Director Richard W.
