Labor Groups Reveals Students who “work their way through college”, do not fall below in their studies, contrary to popular belief, a survey of the grades of 166 stu dents who were employed as waiters, kitchen workers, librarians, campus police, orchestra members,, theatre ushers and at odd jobs last semester reveals. Although they fell below the all-College average by. .05' points, the 166 workers compiled an average of 1.35 for the semestcr.with 113 of the group securing an average of one or better.' Only one out of the number dropped below the zero mark. An even better record was regis tered by those employed as waiters and kitchen workers in McAllister hall, for they attained a group aver age of 1.66, four-hundredths of a point higher than that of the highest-rank ing men's fraternity group for last semester. The McAllister hall work ers number approximately forty-eight men. The influence of outside activities in addition to their work did not af fect the grades of those who com bined extra-curricular activities with outside employment, the survey re vealing that this unit compiled a group average of 1.37 while the general average of the students concentrating their attention on their jobs and studies was 1.13. Fifty-nine students who divided their time between stud ies, employment and extra-curricular activities secured an average of one or better. , Fifteen hours weekly was the aver age time spent by the different work ers at their jobs with only waiters, kitchen laborers and those doing .odd jobs escaping a large amount-of work at night..., A ..representative...number -from: eaehL group sury by.J.to; afford • a tru.e ..repres'entd- problem;' ii'i frfl. j cmmmm*." SIZE c OF Committee Proposes Reduction of Faculty List, Descriptive Matter Next Year A reduction in the size of the gen eral College catalog of approximately fifty pages of text will be considered by the College administration before the 1933-34 issue of the bulletin goes to press, according to Wes. W. Dunlap, acting director of.the department of public information under whose direc tion the catalog is published. To eliminate some of the expenses of publishing the catalog as well as to clarify certain parts, recommenda tions calling for a fifty page reduc tion in the size of the bulletin were presented to the College Senate at its meeting Thursday' night. Elimina tion of this number of .pages would reduce the cost of the catalog from ten to fifteen per cent, Mr. Dunlap said. Omission of all names below the rank of assistant in the list, of the faculty and .the general summary of faculty, reduction of editorial matter dealing with equipment of the Schools of Agriculture, Engineering, Mineral Industries and Physical Education from ten pages to four, and of the description of the curriculum in edu cation from seven to four pages were suggested by the committee making a study of the proposal. A limit of four lines for -description of courses was also advocated. Dr. Frederick P. Weaver, head of the department of agricultural eco nomics, heads the comihittee inves tigating the proposal, with Dr. Ray H. Dotterer, of * the’ School of Liberal. Arts, Dean Edward Steidle of the School of Minerat Industries, Prof. Fred G. Hechier of the School of En gineering, and Mr. Dunlap as the other'members of the group.

Since this new ruling applies only to the few who haven’t succeeded in raising their average by their senior year, it is thought that it won’t ser iously influence the scholastic stand ing of the groups. 3 JAPANESE TO SPEAK HERE Three Japanese students, at- pres ent conducting a. good-will tour among American colleges and universities, will visit Penn State in' February, ac cording to Dr. Frank D.

Conferences on the matter will be held in conjunction with members pf the State Senate in whose hands the distribution of the scholarships now rests. The President’s office declined to express any attitude on the situa tion before the conferences take place. College Control Proposed . Meanwhile, two metropolitan news papers in the State have expressed themselves editorially as in favor of placing the distribution l of scholar ships in the hands of the college of ficials, “who are in the best position to choose deserving recipients.” Charges were made early last week that scholarships which were suppo sedly given by senators to deserving students had fallen into the' hands of racketeers. More than forty irate parents ap peared at a magistrate’s court in Philadelphia Friday when Henry S. Fitch, chief seller of “bargain scholar ships” was to answer charges brought against him. .Fitch, however, failed to appear and his attorney said he was “in in _ New several students had' trailed him and threatened to shoot.him.. . Parents Testify Most of the "parents testified -that they had. payed Fitch"amounts!rang ing from : 's3oo Uo $6OO for scholar-, ships worth' $1,600 a year. Several added that after paying' the 5 money their sons or daughters never received the scholarships. Governor Gifford Pinchot, in an swer to a letter proposing competitive .examinations for scholarships, said that he would go into the subject thoroughly at the “first possible mo ment.” He expi'essed the belief that “perhaps something can be worked out which will be be.i*}ficial.” URBAN PROBLEMS TOPICS SELECTED Tentative Subjects Decided Upon by Executive Committee During Harrisburg Meeting • Three of the subjects being consid ered for the second institute of Ur ban Problems were tentatively de cided upon at a meeting of the execu tive committee in Harrisburg Thurs day, according to Dr. Carl \V.

MUTCH Scotch Theologian Discusses “Basic Qualities of Goodness" at Sunday Assemblage “Cleverness, culture, and sophisti cation cannot make up. for the basic quality of being good." declared Dr. Andrew iVlutch, pastor of the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian church,’ speaking before the chapel audience in the au ditorium Sunday morning. “Back of what any man does is what he is," said the Scotch theolo gian, in referring to the deeds of Washington and Penn, “and what he does in life is merely the exemplifi cation of his character. Don’t try to be clever. Be good, be honest, be clean, and ability will take care of itself,” he said. Declaring that people had entirely the wrong conception of the meaning of the word “saintliness," Dr. Mutch, made the point that a narrow, selfish piety, a life of exclusion, witl'j no gay ety, and no appreciation of the finer things of .life, was not. the desired aim when goodness was to be attained. That sort of saint went out with the pale, wan, and siek-looking saint of the middle ages, he added. “The old idea that Christianity is merely a set of ‘Thou shalt nots’ is most certainly not applicable today," the Presbyterian minister said. “To day it does not take much of a man to be a Christian, but it does take all there is of him," he concluded.
