MOVE-UP DAY PROGRESS
One of the outstanding achiesements that has been
effected in campus affairs this yew is the general
change to a common sense attitude on the tax foi all-
Collegc dances The announcement of a flee function
follming, Mon e-up Day exercises chinases this mese
ment, begun in the no-tax Student Union functions and
furthered in the regulation of class functions to tiring
them more within the price 'tinge of the meinl student
hotly
Mme-up Day, one of the feu class observances
V hich remains to the students, should be an improve
ment this team ova those of the past if several changes
for the better already announced are ant indication
Thu realization that such an affair does not require the
master minds of sonic twelve or fifteen committee mem
bu its adnunistiation is welcomed by those who be
lieve in eliminating non-essentials. Evidence that two
men can ably arrange the progiam should be helpful
to nest yea,'- class officers when they ponder the most
efficient administration of class functions.

Even economy fon the student has been attained in

Rarely in the world of the theatre today is seen any
production of the ancient Greek tragedy. Tomorrow
night the Penn State Players stage "Electra" with its
naghty machinery of tragic forces The presentation
l.y the Players of such a fundamental piece of drama
I,l¢h lacks appeal to a inalcuity is a graceful educa
tional gesture In these tragedies of the Greeks lie
the very essence of the tragic emotion and the haves
fro profound =dein drama. The intellectually-in
clined, who will form a huge part of the audience, will
eec beyond the difficulties of student acting and staging.
They will realms the essential, magnificent drama and

Insistent intetest of alert students and faculty

rt the elusive culture. A persistent mina sly shows up,
.emous-browed and avid, to soak in every ds blot of cul
ture. And there me others besides this mtensc nucleus
whr go about the College in the •ame eager spelt.
Last yeas the College tossed up the Ailists' Coins°
GI fine music as a radiate. The Course secured to he
sunning at n loss in both the financial and the intesest
categin lec So it seemed then that hese in the Nittar*

doted on the sound of the wind in the tiers, And before

sum' that hi ought vaned enteitansment It, too, no
imied to go the way of good culture up here.
Nose, however, the absence of these things hangs
heavily. The memory of them is good. It would be a
fine thing to have them back. A year has been tried
t,ithout them and it was bonen. The exalted moments
f music, the suavities of e•poienced acting, the excel
net of oiatois didn't come. It has left n void
If this culture-seeking nucleus grows and makes
known its demands, its stunts will be fulfilled. The Col
lege realizes that one of its important functions is the
provision of opportunities to gain hioad interests. Offic
ials are not niggardly about it. Although the College
treasury filled a deep hole in the Aitists' Course expense
List yeas, the administration is still willing to lay again
it proof is given that the course will be supported. The
College will take the deficit if the faculty and students
still bring the interest. It', not too much to ask.

OLD MANIA
This deptutment notes with a sigh of relief that
the ever-faithful Daughters of the American Revolu
tion have rallied to the aid of the nation, as their
forty-hrst congress opened this week in Washington.
Just when things were beginning to loot, irrevocably
gloom!, the saliant Daughters come forth with a
imple but effective Nolution to the whole business.
President Goleta! lifts HIM ell Fletcher Hobart
came light out and spoke her mind Or, at least, she
spoke. Illissus Hobart condemned at one fell swoop
the kidnapping of the Lindbeigh chemld, racketeers,
communists, pacifists, hunger parades, anarchists,
Fascists finishes iks, Ilitlerdes, the 5-year Plan, and
dangeiou^ thaiacteis who go around being unem
ployed Missus Ilobrut intimated that if a person is
hungry he should go off in a corner and starve, that
the kidnappers of the b—y stern prob
ably rely low and uncouth characters, and that wom
en who agitate ton (Ilse' aliment would do other things.
Mis ("Dolly") Cann wore a green taffeta and
lace colonial dame's gown trimmed with ribbons
All in all, the situation has been admirably cleared
up, and the Daughter, can now go back home feeling
tha., at least, they have done their pact
Things ale at a fine pass up in the English Com
position Department Mr. Wood, of same, has re
cently lost, under lather mysterious circumstances,
hir dictionary, a pipe, and a scarf. Mi. Wood reports
that his faith in the Penn State student body is waver
my., and bids fair to collapse completely at any mo
ment This is very bad. Imagine the condition of
things if the faculty should get to going about with
then faith in students collapsed all over the place.
Chaos' Contusion' Ultimr thule' And God knows
what else.
Thu situation is actually very serious, as the dic
tionary had a Scotch Glossary This Scotch Glossary
was invaluabe to Mr Wood when he would lie abed of
evenings leading "The Cotter's Saturday Night," and
mondelins, why Burns v.rota it.
The pipe Was a M-l-no with a very nice concretion
in coal tar lining the hoist, and Ms Wood enjoyed
smoking, it, while looking On the meaning of "muckle
we, Woo In icht dudelsackpfeifer" in his Scotch glo,
The seal f had a w in one cornet. There were
three abet cornet=, without Ws
A certain fraternity crashed through the past
semester with a 282 average for its sophomore class
The sophomore class consisted of one man. And the
on. man, it appears, was a very smart fella
A debate at St. Mary's College recently broke up
in confusion when it was discovered that both teams
had prepared the affirmative argument. Which we
though' wasver}, very funny Heh.t

"Some books, tike some wen, make

Jo, re of chum actor and peroonol au ."
The most notable volume of Eng
lish fiction by a new author during
1931 was "Hatter's Castle" Di Cro
nin, who has forsaken his surgery in
fasor of the writer's desk, continues
Ins good mork in a second book "Three
Loves " ft is not so dramatic nor so
violent perhaps as the first, nor is
the characterization so smell done
But on the other haml the story is in
teresting and well told.
The plot moves swiftly on to a
tragic conclusion and is very cleverly
constructed. The three loves of the
Scotch heroine, Lucy Moore, are first
—her Irish husband, second—her son
Peter, and finally, after she has lost
them, the church. Her losses are due
to two things—her own temperament,
and circumstances, and the story is
the tragedy of Lucy Moore It is her
own stubbornness which in the end
defeats her Poi she is of that in
domitable company which never sur
renders.
Many volumes regarding Rous
seau's life and teaching, including the
unforgetable autobiography, already
have been written. "Jean Jacque
Rousseau" by Matthew Josephson is
not just one more, but rather a no
table interpretation and narrative by
a critic of French letters whose repu
tation at that field has already been
made. The result IS the more notable
when one considers the many volumes
on the subject and the extraordinary
life of Rousseau himself.
Born in 1722 in the Swiss city of
Geneva, lie started life in a commun
ity of uncompromising Calvinists
But he soon made his escape to be
come first a Catholic and then a seek.
aft the'
m after that natural existence which
sus to form the basis of his philo
sophy and theory of education. His
three major works, "The New
Heloise," "The Social Contract," and
"Emile" were so entirely foreign to
the practice and belief of his day that
Rousseau was persecute.] although his
work survived to piofoundly influence
the whole field of educational theory
and practice. Josephson is at his
best in discussing these uritings and
their influ.nce as the world.

Poor Richard Said
"A penny _aved is a penny earned." In his day, pennies were as large as our quar
ters. all the pennies in the world wouldn't have taken Poor Richard to a movie,
Liought him a flivver, or paid his street car tare. The pennies of a hundred years ago
were not as big in buying power as those of today.
But Poor Richard's advice is still good. And it is no less valuable when applied to
dollars instead of cents.
Every year you spend a large proportion of the money you earn. So much for cloth
ing. So much for shoes. So much for things to eat, house furnishings, garden seeds,
tools and what not.
There's just one way to save money in making your purchases. Know what you want
before you buy. Read the advertisements:
They tell you what is'new and good. They tell you where and when to buy to best ad
vantage. They help keep you posted on what the stores and manufacturers are of
fering.
Read the advertisements. They save money and earn money for you
