By GEORGE A. 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

• 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.

halfback and “Sunny Jim” Boring did

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

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..

night with reported contributions to

selves, solicitors found more good will
in the general attitude of the student
body toward the work of the associa

Harry W. Seamans, P. S. C. A. secre

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.

First-Year Elections Scheduled
Immediately Following

With freshman class elections moved
from February to immediately after
Thanksgiving recess, freshman poli

ganize now instead of second semes
ter, as a result of a Student Board
decision yesterday.
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,

and for the prevention of both the
old-time saloon and the bootlegger,”
he concluded, .
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.
