FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28; 1932 PAN-HELLENIC Election of the Panhellenic president instead of the present archaic system of rotation of the office would he a great step forward in making the Panhellenic Council an active, useful body on this campus—if the plan now under consideration among fraternity women is adopted. Casting no reflections upon the capability of the present Council president who is doubtless doing the best she can with a naturally dallying group of sorority representatives, the fact nevertheless remains that the election system would be a fairer method of selection both from the standpoint of the sororities and the Coun cil itself. Under the present system of rotation according to the date of founding of the groups, one sorority may havo the misfortune of being required to provide a presi dent for the Council in a year when it has no woman suited for the position, while several years later, when the group may have the natural leader, the presidency goes to another house. The state in which this leaves the Panhellenic Council has been only too painfully evidenced in years past. Election of the president could be held either by the women’s student body at large, as in W, S. G. A. voting, or within the Council itself. Whether it would be ad visable, as might happen in the first method, to throw cno more important office into the already-messed-up ring of campus politics is questionable. If that Utopian state of democratic voting, with the elimination of petty politics, ever arrives, this would be the ideal way. Un til then, however, election by the Council members them selves would at least be an improvement on the present plan and would certainly result in the choice of one of the most capable women available. The Panhellenic Council under consistently strong leadership would have a great influence in strengthening the position of sororities on this campus. An energetic student union committee thought it would be quite the thing to have, an art exhibit in Old Main. By holding such an exhibit the committee reason ed that Old Main would become more popular as a stu dent, retreat and at the same time more : people would visit the exhibition because of its accessibility. So in the vigor of youth everything was arranged—the ex hibit and nil. Then came the crash that has reduced a once well-meaning student committee to cynics that go around mumbling about red-tape, stupidity, and other more combustible names. Yes, the walls of Old Main, it seems, are to remain as barren, void monuments to stern rigidity. But some time, as the original .plans call fori the architect will determine stresses at various points in Ihc building and then equipment will be provided for hanging pictures. .Old Main will lose some of its stiff- ness. Culture seeking students will be able to view masterpieces more conveniently. Somehow individuals that have tried in vain to have pictures hung can never forgive whatever department that takes care of such details for an apparent oversight. LATER DINNER HOUR Four o’clock classes were practically eliminated by the College scheduling 'Officer in this year’s time table. There remains only one obstacle in the way of an unin terrupted four to six o’clock recreation period—a goal >et by athletic officials some time ago. The removal of the general dinner hour from five thirty to six o’clock is the one change that can bring to realization this period of recreation. Intramural officials would bo immeasurably benefited by such a change. The running off of contests would be facilitated while almost every student could have sufficient time to exercise without being forced to hurry on account of an early meal. A general agreement of fraternities, reached through their council, is the mechanical difficulty in volved. All other interests would soon swing into line with the change and the entire matter could be smoothly accomplished. Unless some action is taken soon the ef forts of the scheduling officer will have been in vain. Tho four o’clock class will return and, os formerly, intramural athletics will be materially handicapped.

GEORGE (ERIC) VAN lIEUSEN, gunrd-ißig George is a wrestler and a good one. He is also a good guard. With his tawny hair and fine physique •he looks like a reincarnation of the Vikings of old— hence the nickname, Eric. He is playing his third year on the squad and has already started one game. Down here at Penn State wc retain the quaint old custom of letting the referee start the games. And let’s Leif Ericsson out of this. CLAIR (CHIN) LYON, fullback—They call Ly on “Chin” because he sticks out his chin and goes places when he carries the ball. His fine bucking and passing may earn him the regular berth before the season ends. Probably will, if he runs into something hard. RENE ANTOLINI, back—Rene, the fastest man on the squad, attended school in Switzerland where he became a famous skiier. He has been invaluable to the Colgate team for three years. He is a shifty run ner, called by New York State,sports writers, “The Swiss Deer.” ' Funny, but our varsity men generally graduate after three years. Cheese guys, yodel laughed your self sick; the ski’s the limit. CHARLIE SOLEAU, halfback—He weighs 186 ■pounds, is short and stocky and is powerful as a young ■bull. The defending team finds him os hard to bring down as a tank. Young hull, eh? Guess we won’t be able to take along Penstatc ’Jesse as a- mascot, then. And we had been under the impression that tanks were doum all the time, sort of. We are not in favor of the Philadelphia Record, as a general rule. We feel they should take some definite stand, and support either one candidate or the .other. But that is neither here nor there, At least it’s not here.

Termed a [Conservative JHajH Leader by Shearer ' “President Hoover’s” whole program is one of conservative leadership bas ed upon a refusal to follow those who advocate panaceas for .the cure of the depression,” said Thomas E. Shearer, assistant professor of polit ical science, in discussing the platform of the Republican presidential nom inee. “He represents the conservative in dustrial leadership of America,” add ed Professor Shearer, “as indicated’ by his advocacy of sound money, a balanced budget, a reduction in gov. ernmental expenses, a business-like reorganization of governmental de partments, and a high tariff. He stands one hundred percent on the Republican party platform.” Although the party has not pledged itself either for repeal or retention of the eighteenth amendment, it fa vors a resubmission to the states of an amendment which is not alone de structive, but constructive in that ifc. will propose a different method of the control of intoxicating liquors, he said. ‘President Hoover is opposed to di rect;*relief to the individual because he maintains that unemployment re lief is a problem for each local com munity, Professor Shearer pointed out.

Like wise, he is opposed to the payment of the bonus, but pledges a continua tion of the present program of assist ance'to disabled veterans.” The president is clearly in favor of a high tariff for the protection of American manufacturers, farmers, and laborers. He also advocates a retention of the present tariff com mission whose duty it is to make re commendations to the president rela tive to adjustments in the tariff. Be sides the tariff, he favors the continu ation of the Republican program of fostering cooperative organizations among farmers for farm relief, Pro fessor Shearer added. CLASSIFIED BALLROOM DANCING.

Making telephone equipment presents many an interesting problem to the engineers of Western Electric—manufacturer for the Bell System. A case in point is the drying of telephone cable before putting on the protective lead sheath. This step is of utmost importance, for the tiny copper wires cannot carry your voice properly unless their paper insulation is thoroughly dried. To this end, Western Electric engineers devised special drying ovens in which the air is thirty times drier than desert air! The same ingenuity and thoroughness go into every step of making cable, telephones, switch boards and many other kinds of telephone equip ment. The dependable apparatus that results is one reason why Bell System service is dependable.
