Committee To Study
Proposed Library Unit
Lewis : Heads Groups
Making Surveys
Of Problem
ACTION .MARKS INITIAL
STEP TOWARD BUILDING
Present Structure Crowded in
Space for Seating, Books,
Librarian States
Marking the first step .toward the
erection of a new College library, a
group, of four committees, composed
of members of the Library advisory
committee and other faculty mem
bers, will begin a study of all phases
connected with the proposed building
this month, according to Willard P.
Lewis, College librarian.
With Mr. Lewis acting as an ex-of
ficio chairman of each .group, the'
cpmmittces 'will- make a survey of
problems concerning reading and
study facilities necessary in a com
plete library unit, book storage and
display, size, type, and capacity of
building, and complete,pjans of con
struction. Reports will be made by<
the committees this spring.
Action Begun in July
Preliminary l action was started by
the College librarian last July with a
letter to President Ralph D. Hetzel
calling, attention to the heed for a
new library and recommending “a
year’s survey of .the library building',
problem', studying all possible, sources
of information, and making a careful'
study of ptobable growth of . faculty
' and student enrollment. as 'well as l
books and. institutional requirements;
: ,for^t'^east-^wenty-fivV^yhars--3to :
come.” ■" ' . • .
V “There is adefinite need for a hew
library, building at Penn State,” Mr.
Lewis seated Wednesday. ’ ,“Thj) pres
ent plant is crowded as to seatipg and
book space, the, present alcove ar
rangement and the location of the
charging desk leads to much unneces
sary noise, and .we have no space for
special collections, such as our'Penn
sylvania collection-of .books.”
To Discard Old Structure
Present , plans for a new library
structure would discard the present
building for library purposes, the li
brarian pointed out.. The arrange
ment of the building makes it impos
sible for utilization, even as a unit of
a new structure, he said.
“A complete survey of the needs of
the College library is the first l of
three steps necessary to secure a. new
building/’ he continued. “After the
.committee reports are made, we hope
to be able to submit the findings to
the. College architect to ai<| him in
.drawing up plans for the structure.
•If this is' accomplished, the final step
will bo. to rais-e the necessary funds.”

Lions Will Extend Temple
To Limit, Says Owl Scribe
Undefeated Philadelphia Team Seeks Comeback
After Ties With Carnegie, Haskell
By JOE LUCRE. SPORTS EDITOR
Temple University ‘News’ ' •
Whittock and Lome Johnson, coupled
with good ■ line play, have been the
only outstanding features of the Owls’
play. Whittock wiil of course start
against the Lions/ but Johnson has
yet to start a. game this season, hav
ing, been used in relief roles.
Alex Kilkuskic, playing, his 'third
season of varsity ball, will start with
Eddie Zukas at'the halfback positions.
Kilkuskic Has-been used-largely-as a
blocking -back, while Zukas does most
of the piinting'and off-tackle slices.
Either Pat Regan or Joe Kpstrava
will be at the fullback berth. Regan
has been handicapped by an early sea
son injury, but has been coming along
rapidly and last week supplanted Kos
trova.' • ■ - ’ ’
' Joe Pilconis and Lenny Gudd have
started the majority of games at the
wing posts and probably will face the
opening’kick-off tomorrow. Gudd is
sure death on forward passes and fair
on the. defense, while, it is just, the
other way around, with Pilconis, whoi
shines on.the defense.
Lino. Coach DaGrossa started;
G.eorge' Venerosa and Charley Kem-,
merer,,a pair of-sophomores, agajnst,
the Indians last week, ljut.Kemmercr;
will, probably give way to the veteran'
Carl - Rubin, who was given a* much
needed rest. . ■ -
Carl's younger brother, Don,’pairs
otf ‘ with: Eddie, Smith at' guard.
"Smith is. probably, the most valuable
lineman on the team this year. Hank
Rccsoi one o'f the best defensive cen
ters in the land will be at the pivot
post. . . , ,
■ A Ripley “Believe it or Not” will
be presented in the Temple-Pcnn State
game tomorrow in which the fans will
be viewing an undefeated team en
deavoring to "redeem itself.” •
- That -isn’t; .stretching. the truth
either. The Owls ' had been looked
upon by Philadelphia fandom as I the
class of the East, only to have me
diocre Carnegie Tech and Haskell
teams-battle thorn .to a standstill in
the last two games. - In both tilts the
Cherry, and White eleven was ex
tremely forunate to gain ties.
It took a gallant stand on tjie one
foot line to enable the Templars to
hold the pesky Skibos even, and a
similar defensive thrust.to .check Lone
Star Dietz’s Indians in-tho last quar
ter n week ago. In both games
Temple, was an odds-on favorite.
It isn’t the'old cry of “Wolf” .when
tHe Cherry and White followers say
the Owls-will, be forced to the limit
in the battle with the Nittany Lion.
A much better Temple team, it will
be remembered,-had to get' l the breaks
to defeat Higgin’s nonc-too-good
eleven-last year. Then again, as Penn
will readily attest, State has a habit
of playing'its best football,in Phila
delphia.
... Although Carnegie Tech is the only
team .to hold'the Owls to .a- single
touchdown, Bert Bell’s tricky offense
has failed to click. More touchdowns
have- been lost than-have been scored
in almost, every game .to date; Tho
Templars just fail to click inside the
twenty-yard* stripe. : 1

BITTER BIRTH CONTROL FIGHT
WAGED BY MARGARET SANGER
Abused, vilified, and even impris

scheduled to lecture here Tuesdify
night, has waged a desperate struggle
•against the opposition of
society in- championing the modern
birth control movement, a pamphlet
issued by the National Committee on
Federal Legislation for Birth Control,
reveals.
“It was in 1914, the year she
launched her initial campaign, that
she- coined the term ‘birth control.'
Today, with over a hundred research
clinics organized throughout ' the
country, Mrs. Sanger scqs her cause.
gaining steadily," the sketch of her
career reads.
The latest tribute to her leadership
in the’movement came : when she re

in New York last "April. However,
-Mrs; Sanger’s, crusade has-not been

Longenecker Says
Thirty-four fraternities have chang

by Interfraterhity council, ’ while
twenty-one of the remaining twenty

“Favorable comment as to the ad;
vantages of the 6 o’clock plan has:
been bruited about by the fraternities
which have instituted the change thus
far, and increased interest in athletics
and' greater turnout for intramural
competition has already been noted,"
Longenecker said.
To Encourage Athletics
The plan of turning dinner back to
6 o’clock is a cooperative measure in
keeping with the action of-the College
Senate last year in practically elim
inating 4 o’clock classes to make pos
sible a two-hour recreation period.
The primary purpose of the added
time between classes and dinner is to
encourage - the students' participation
in athletic activities.
At a meeting of Interfraternity
council last week the. groups almost
unanimously voted to adopt the new
dinner -hour with provisions made for
adjusting activities to .conform with
the change.
To comply with the" change the lo
cal theatres will hereafter begin their
features at G:3O o’clock instead of at
6 o’clock, George W. Sullivan, man
ager of the State College theatres,
has. announced.

her case was dropped only after a
petition had been sent to President
Wilson by .Arnold Bennett, Gilbert
Murray, and H.,G. Wells, friends of
the movement. She personally con
ducted a campaign in Washington
last winter to obtain revamped legis
lation which would permit the use of
the mails for her purposes.
Mrs. Sanger was again arrested
and her New York clinic raided by
the police in 1916. Although she ap
pealed her case and the judgment of
guilty was sustained, the decision
paved the ; way for legal birth control
advice by physicians in New York.
According to the pamphlet describ
ing her career, “Mrs. Sanger’s first
.written contribution to sex enlighten
ment, a newspaper series called ‘What
Every Girl Should Know,’.was sup
pressed by the Post office authorities

Final Conflict as

Backfield Posts
By GEORGE A. SCOTT ’3l
It isn't often that a football team,
already defeated in four out of six
games, regards its final contest as a
“crucial" fray, but that's the attitude
of the Nittany Lions toward their
season’s finale with Temple Univer
sity at Philadelphia tomorrow.
Success or failure for the Lions'
season rests on the outcome of tomor
row's game—at least in the minds of
every man Jack on the Nittany squad.
Each one feels that a victory over
Temple’s undefeated eleven will more
than redeem a none-too-successful
year, and each one feels that tomor
row’s game offers them their best
opportunity for victory.
The Lions aren’t underrating
Temple in the least, for they realize
that the Owls possess both defensive
and offensive power enough to rate
with the best in the East. Temple's
record is a brilliant one, despite un
expected tie games with . Carnegie
Tech and Haskell Indians, for it in
cludes - triumphs over West Virginia

35 To Make Trip
Coach Bob Higgins named a squad
of some thirty-five men to make the
trip to the Quaker city, this number
representing practically the entire list
of griadors who comprise the Blue
and White squad at' the present time.
A starting lineup composed of Slusser
and Brewster, ends, Cole and Berry,
.tackles, Hesch and. Kreizman, guards,
jZawacki, center, and Captain Collins,
;Lohr, Sigel and Morrison, backs, was
announced by Higgins following prac
tice Wednesday night.
Kreizman, Berry, and Zawacki are
the only changes in the lineup over
that which started the Sewance game
last Saturday. It may or may not
be a bit of strategy on Bob’s part in
starting Kreizman and Berry for both
come from the Philadelphia district
and there isn’t a better incentive than
that of playing before a home crowd.
Ten seniors on the squad will lend
