SCOTT '34 • Coach Andy Kerr and his famed Red Raiders of the Chenango can boast of an undefeated season as far as Coach Bob Higgins and the Nit tany. Lions of Penn State are con cerned. Bob, “Spike” and the Lion gridders offered their bit toward'stopping Col gate’s championship-bound eleven, but, as with Lafayette, New York University, and the three minor op ponents facing the Red Raiders earlier this year, their bit wasn't sufficient to stem the Maroon victory march. Colgate even successfully defended its uncrossed goal line in administer ing the 31-to-0 defeat to the Lions, while those thirty-one points placed the Red Raiders at the top of the Eastern grid world in total points scored with 195 against none for their opponents. Defeat No Dishonor •However, this isn’t a criticism of the Nittany Lions. They weren’t con ceded a chance before the gome, and no dishonor accompanies the defeat All that could have been asked of them was that they put up the best fight possible, and-that’s just what . they did. Colgate simply • had too ..much; power, too'much skill for.the fßig’gmsmem “7^ • Although he changed the starting lineup in three positions, Higgins held true to his pre-game intentions of holding the regulars on the 'bench for the opening kickoff. Only Tom Slus tfser, Jesse Brewster, •, and Bi|l Lohr started at their accustomed positions, although Bedoski,. who was in the opening lineup at a guard post, and Harry. Sigcl, halfback, have enjoyed starting'assignments in games other than Saturday's fray. Lions Escape Injury There were no injuries to further mar the day for the Lions, at lea&t none of a serious nature. This means that Higgins will have almost full strength available for Sewanee this week, and possibly for Temple on No vember 121 Earl Park and Bob Flood were at the tackles for the first kickoff, Wool ridge and Bedoski held down the guard assignments and Veto Rich was at center for the Nittany' gridders. “Barrel” Morrison got his chance at halfback and “Sunny Jim” Boring did (Continued .on ‘page three) 4 Student Leaders Favor 6 O’Clock Dinner Hoar Wood, Moser, Beatty, Longenecker Cite Advantages Unanimous approval of the pro posed change of dinner hour by the fraternities to 6 o’clock was expressed by student leaders in a survey Sun day. All those, interviewed were in favor of having—the houses making the change immediately. “In order for the fraternity men to 'receive proper benefit from the' two hour recreation period which the Col lege Senate had in mind when it elim inated the 4 o’clock classes, their din ner hour must be turned back to 6 o’clock,” said Herbert E. Longenecker *33, head of Interfraternity council. - That the ‘’fraternities are duty bound to cooperate with the College since it went through the trouble of shortening the school day by one hour this, year, is the opinion of John*A.; Wood- ?33,‘.president of Student Coun cil. “Late dinner hour is in effect at qjl colleges in the cast at present, and it should Ameliorate conditions here,” Wood declared. “The change from 5:30 to G o’clock is absolutely necessary to comply with the new system of intramural com petition,” said R. Henderson Beatty ’ >33, intramural sports head. “Con- Freshman Week Report Seeks Deferred Rushing Fraternities Should Move Up First K Date to Sunday of Orientation Period, Committee Believes Loud rumblings, heralding an ultimate system of deferred fraternity rushing and considerably shaking the proposed code, are now sounded in n Freshman Week committee report which laments the undesirable distraction of fraternity rushing during the orientation period. j “A definite' step should be taken this year toward ultimate deferred rushing,” the committee’s report reads. For the present, however, the com -1 mittee has hit upon an alternative in requesting fraternities to move up the first rushing' date to the Sunday oi' Freshman Week. Unless this ar rangement is agreed upon,'Freshman Week will probably be abolished. The committee, headed ‘by Dean of Men Arthur R. Warnock, feels that the week’s activities are not worth con tinuing under the present conflicting conditions. Cooperation Necessary Seeking a change which adds com plications to the proposed code, the Freshman Week report relies op the complete cooperation of every man in every fraternity.. If this high ideal of ; cooperation is not attained, the plan would obviously not succeed, the report admits. Members of the committee are of the opinion that the proposed arrange ment would not only benefit the fresh men in getting started but would also .work to the advantage of fraternities. Specifically, the request means the elimination of four early rushing dates before Sunday, but promises a more unrestricted use of the new stu dent’s time by fraternities on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. , “Since the Freshman Week com mittee has put fraternities on the horns of the dilemma, the only thing for us to do is follow their suggeS-. tion,” Prof.- MarshW. White,. chair ipam.of the.,-fraternity com •mifcte^saidr-^Freshmph^W^ek'thorrld 4 certainly not be abolished.” • To Discuss Change “If- the proposition were brought up at a mass meeting of tall the fra ternity men in .College, I believe they would accept the proposal of entirely eliminating rushing;until the Sunday of Freshman Week,” Professor White said. “Of course there would be, loop holes in the new arrangement, but we could at least try the system,” the ad visory chairman said. Although not in favor of the change, Harris Ebenbach ’33, Inter fraternity ‘council rushing chairman, believes it would he a simple matter to advance the opening rushing date to Sunday. An enforced, semi-silent period before the beginning of or ganized rushing in which fraternities would he allowed to schedule dates with freshman would probably be the most workable plan, Ebenbach said. - -Herbert E. Longenecker '33, presi dent of Interfraternity council, advo cates the change suggested by the committee. Interfraternity council will discuss the arrangement at its meeting in Old Main at 7 o’clock to morrow night, Longenecker said. I. F. Council Will Vote on Dinner Change Tomorrow Fraternity representatives will pass on resolutions effecting the change of dinner hour from its present time at 5:30 o’clock to'6 o'clock at a meeting of Interfrater nity council tomorrow night, Her bert E. Longenecker ’33, chairman, announced yesterday. tests will be held in the afternoon as well as night, and the change will al low more practice time so that play ers may prepare for competition in stead of their entering the games un fit for participation,” he added. ■ Apart from the physical recreation benefit of the G o’clock dinner hour to the students in • general, Walter C. Moser ’33, president of the Athletic association, explained that they will also gain in mental recreation. The added time between the end of classes and dinner will afford the students opportunity to read the newspapers and periodicals, which many at the present do hot seem to find time to do, he pointed out. George’W. Sullivan, manager of the State College theatres, has expressed himself as -being willing t« cooperate with the students' in working out a schedule to comply with the change, if it is made..

VAN ETTEN TALKS IN CHAPEL SUNDAY Pittsburgh Pastor Compares Lakes In Palestine With Types Of Gentlemen •Defining the two types of so-called gentlemen as those who take all they can out of life, and those who are willing to give as well as receive, Dr. Edward J. van Etten addressed the chapel services in Schwab auditorium Sunday morning. The Pittsburgh pastor drew an an alogy between these-two types of men and the two large lakes in Palestine. The Dead Sea, he compared to the man who takes everything he can, and begrudges any return he has to make, while the Sea of Galilee was mention ed as a parallel to the real gentleman, who is willing to share what he has with others. “It is notable that - around the Dead Sea there is no vegetation, that no peoplo live within miles of-there, and all forms of wild life avoid the sec tion as much as possible,” Dr. Van Etten said. “Around the Sea of Gal ilee, however there are many villages, fishing is a prosperous industry, and hundreds of birds and other kinds of animate live there,” he added. - The Dead Sea, the chapel speaker explained, takes everything, that comes to it, and returns nothing, consequent ly it is deserted, while the Sea of Galilee gives generously of what comes to it.

Roosevelt’s Main Proposals Outlined by Professor Law Thomas for More Governmental Participation, Alderfer Points Out Franklin D. Roosevelt’s election, predicted by the New York Times, will not frighten business, said Joseph T. Law, assistant professor of poli tical science, in commenting on the Democratic presidential candidate yesterday. “Roosevelt does not propose either socialism or bolshevism,” continues Professor Law, “but he advocates sound .money, a balanced budget, re duction of governmental expenses, governmental reorganization, and non-payment of the soldiers’ bonus at the present time.” Feeling that in all its activities the government should have sympathy for the common man, the Governor* favors relief for the farmers and the unem ployed, definite planning to provide for. them and to protect them in the future, added Professor Law. “On the prohibition question Roosc- j veil advocates completely clearing the; ground of the mistakes and wreck-! age produced by the Eighteenth!

Smokers will be held this week and next week for organization purposes, according to John A. Wood *33, Stu dent Board chairman, who made the proposal. Final organization of the freshman Campus and Locust Lane cliques will be under the direction of corresponding sophomore clique chair men. To Name Trial Leaders At the elections immediately fol. lowing the Thanksgiving recess, three and possibly five trial presidents will be chosen. As in previous years, the junior class president will direct the first-year elections. Each trial president will be given a definite topic to bring before the class for discussion, Wood said. By secur ing freshman sentiment in such mat ters as freshman customs, deferred rushing, and the swimming pool pro ject, student governing bodies will be able to legislate better on these ques tions, he added. Reasons Cited I Reasons given for advancing the i freshman elections were that the [freshman class president has hereto -1 fore been only a figurehead, and that the new arrangement will make pos : siblc the creation of an office which will be of value to the class and the College. Present arrangements in dicate that the freshman president will be made an ex-officio member of Student council. “I think that it is the ideal system,” Wood said in commenting on the new arrangement, "because in the fresh, man class there are a good many problems, unknown to us now, which will be brought out as a result of the earlier class organization. Better co operation with the freshmen as a group will also be possible,” he added. ‘LA VIE’ BUSINESS MANAGER, EDITOR TO ATTEND MEETING Arthur E.

Norman Thomas, the Socialist can didate, stands for more active parti cipation of government in the entire economic and social life of the na tion, according to Dr. Harold F. Al. derfer, associate professor of political science. "He would utilize more fully all governmental agencies to regulate and control private interests against what he deems to be the welfare of the people as a whole,” Dr. Alderfer continued. "He stands for-direct and work relief to the unemployed and destitute classes by the Fcderul gov ernment and is interested in the en action of all laws looking to further protection of the wage earning and consuming classes. "Like his party, Thomas, believes in public ownership of many utilities and industries and steeply increased inheritance and income taxes,” Dr. Alderfer added.
