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.
(The trimming of the cuticle is just a bit out of
our line, wherefore we called in Mazie the Mellifluous
Manicure to help .out on a write-up of what the Red
Raiders of the Chenango please to call biographies.

about them, you can have them for a small considera
tion.)

JOE PASQUALE, left tackle—Big Joe is a big
shouldered player, with brawny arms that fling op
posing players aside when he charges in on defense.
He pulls his head in and rushes in with shoulders
hunched in a game. This makes him a very colorful
player.
No doubt, very colorful. And wc wager that hq
could use “m” four times in a sentence, in ease he had
his hand in.

And what docs he do \vhcn the big man isn't
there?
BART ELLIS, tackle—Big Bart, a 200-pounder,
is a Phi Beta Kappa student.
Sort of a football player by trade and a student
by inclination. s
CAPT. 808 (KEWPIE) SMITH, guard—ln
street clothes he looks like-an innocent high school
boy, his cherubic face apd inoffensive, appearance be
ing largely responsible for his nickname “Kewpie.”
Does he wear short pants to Sunday School and
giggle becomingly when somebody chucks him-under
the chin?.
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. What we started out to say was that
tho aforementioned sheet is going to print a nice long
story, with pictures and all, about a little State Col
lege gel of fond memory to most of us. * No, we’re not
going to tell you her name. That’s for you to find out.

Hoover. 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. Ho is also very definitely oppos-

“Although the party does not pledge
itself with respect to war debts,” he
stated, “Hoover has expressed him
self as opposed to cancellation. 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.

Desert: Mr is wet
... by comparison!
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.
