Business Office Nittany Printing Building Phone 292-1 Y Entered at the Postoffice, State College, Fa., as Second-class Matter FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1933 SOME INDICATION that the State legislature will not havm beyond all repair its higher education, system by drastic curtailment of appropriations was given in the governor’s proposed budget presented to the General Assembly. Representing a ton percent cut, the proposed appropriation if it meets with legislative and executive approval will mean an extension of the rigor ous economy program instituted by College officials in the past year. Whether or not the benefits of house cleaning have been entirely reaped from the financial strain already gone through remains to be seen. Cer tainly it must be the wish of all thinking Pennsylvania citizens that none of the necessary functions of this State institution should suffer from lack of funds. The progress that has been made in higher education in this State could very easily be apt back many years by ex cess paring of appropriations. FRESHMEN WILL continue their selection of class officers at a meeting tonight. The class might well consider the value of dropping such an officer as historian. There was a time when such a. dignitary wrote in colorful language of the deeds of his class for publication in LaVic. The rigors of office did not extend far beyond this duty which was eliminated, from the annual some years ago. The existing, order has nothing to offer aspiring class historians. \ THE EVER INCREASING trend toward the awarding of all available money to-needy students has made scholarships in their true sense practically dis appear from this campus. In keeping with economic conditions, it has been reasonable to emphasize need in the awarding of the College scholarships. However, somo. provision should be made whereby recognition may be given to upperclassmen for success along purely scholastic lines. The proposal of Honor Society Council to change its system of awarding medals seems to fill the gap. Instead of giving the medals to the highest freshmen and sophomores, as is done under the present set-up, tho Council proposes to make the award to sen iors. Since both Phi Eta Sigma and Alpha Lambda Delta, freshman scholastic honoraries, have chapters here, there is sufficient reward for achievement among members of the lower classes. THE PLAYERS will present Noel Coward's com edy, “Hay Fever” in Schwab auditorium tomorrow night. Because of the wide experience that has been gained by members of the cast both in professional work and on the Auditorium stage, the play promises to be well worth the while of all students and faculty mem bers who claim an appreciation for the theater. ONCE AGAIN STUDENTS and faculty listened to the interesting “globe-trotter” Sherwood Eddy ex pand on the mighty changes that are now taking place in the world. With a little pride we heard that a great change and social movement was being unfolded before our very eyes. With more pride, too, we heard the ap praisal of this change as one even greater than all past m*o!-ut:ons-~cconomic, political, and social. After a little thought something strange seemed to come oyer our con ception of this change. It was stripped of its enormous significance and resolved itself into just an evolution of the more common sort that has always Been taking place in this world. Looking hack over history from our. se cluded retreat in State College we came to.the conclus ion that we were, truly enough, enjoying a climb toward something not quite'clear to anyone—something, too, for which further change could only wait. That it was typically Twentieth Century in its “biggest in the world” proportions, seemed doubtful. 'The reduction by ten percent in the number of courses to be offered in the 1933 Summer Session un questionably is necessary if the session is not to show a deficit as last year’s did. Instances ■were cited last year whero there was obvious duplication in courses. The elimination process should include a careful study of possible duplication so that wholesale demand for a coiirso will hot.be the only factor in the paring. A considerable decrease in the number of visiting educators is a suggestion which; if followed, could do much toward Quito'the most recent among the many fitting ways for a Liberal Artist to spend his time is the gentle art of sculpturing in paper napkins. Although human figures are the most adaptable to the paper napkin medium, the really facile tissue sculptor finds opening before him an almost unlimited field of sub ject matter. Tho subtle twist, the slight distortion, tho bizarre grotesquerie—these are the methods of modelling which bid fair to catapult the neo-absorbent school of napkin sculpture into the limelight of wide spread popularity.

PHILLIPS *33. Credit Manager MARION P. HOWELL ’33 Women’s Editor Isabel McFarland '33 Women’s Managing Editor ELIZABETH M. KALB *33 Women’s News Editor While on the subject of paper napkins, this de partment is extremely happy to announce the results of a recent survey into the possibilities of keeping these benighted little articles from changing their function to that of a foot covering whenever the wear er relaxes his vigilance over them. This only goes for men, but at least it will be a boon to half the popula tion. This is the simple expedient that finally gained the approval of the investigating committee: Dig a small hole near the lop of the half-folded paper nap kin, approximately in the center; then unbutton tho bottom fastener of the vest, insert in the hole just created, and again engage the button in the button hole. It’s as simple as all that. 313 Old Main To tho lad who skipped the Infirmary and nursed his appendix all the way to Easton goes this writer’s palm for the neatest trek of the week. Frankie Whitmore, chem and fizz dean, is ready to admit that there is always something that has never happened before. The good dean has ceased to be overly surprised or offended when people find it necessary to catch up on a bit of that coveted com modity which is loved from pole to pole and back to pole again. However, when a freshman some days ago went so for as to have a genuine nightmare with all the fixin's, the doctor was stumped as to the proper procedure. He finally comprised by shouting “Take him out into the air,” but he realized the whole thing hadn’t been carried off at all according to Boyle, and it came pretty near to spoiling his day. Special to the Collegian— M’sieu Mateer, dens ex machina of that Intersection about which Prosperity has been hanging rather consistently, made an official announcement today anent the dating of waitresses. “I don’t mind,” revealed Mister Mateer, “if the girls go out on dates, just so long as they don’t disturb those who are trying to sleep, when they come back.” Note: This statement is vouched for by the Campuseer, with the immutably dependable Honor of tho Collegian backing him up.

France’s action may be due to the embittered conflict in the recent Hoo ver moratorium, the political scientist added. This measure France declared to be unfair, in that she had no op portunity to get any equivalent for the reparations she was called upon to forego. “It is obvious,” Dr. Tanger con tinued, "that her action will make it difficult for her to borrow money in the future and it is a misfortune on France’s part that she. has been in sistent on standing by commitments. Her breaking of this one provides ef fective argument for setting aside certain provisions of the Versailles Treaty, of which she has been a most stubborn defender.” However, Dr. Tanger was of the Speaking Of Books “Dawn in Russia”—by Waldo Frank The best part of this hook is con tained in the' first few chapters in which the author pictures the Russian scene under the new'conditions. There were the petty clerks at the State bank—servants of the proletariat— who "were mere shabby pens for ’any will to push and who had inconspicu ously passed from, the mailed fist of the Tsar to the steel hand of labor. More numerous were the decadent in tellectuals—former lawyers, teachers, writers. Bewilderment was the ’one spark in their eyes.” “The Soviet Worker"—by Joseph Freeman In no country have the laboring classes .as large a share in the man agement of industry as in Russia. "The Soviet Worker” describes hot only the workers organizations and social' legislation in his favor but also many of the accomplishments of Rus sian industry under the Soviet gov ernment.

Dr. Eddy Prophesies ‘Doom of Capitalism ’ (Continued from page one) sequent prosperity, such a state of af fairs cannot last for long.” Dr. Eddy concluded his lecture ser ies here Tuesday night. In an at tempted interview, Dr. Eddy said he had no statement to make concerning the immediate outlook for the 1933 College graduate in relation to the current conditions and social changes as suggested in his lectures. He also refused to commit himself on ques tions of socialistic and communistic trends in colleges today.- Your Bank Balance is one of the Pillars on which your Credit is Established.

He predicted a settlement of the affair in some legal manner, such as suspended payment. Dr. Tanger said the attitude of the United States has reached a more calm state than it was in when the debt default was made public. He stat ed that there have been several minor attempts at boycotting French pro ducts, 'but he added that the matter is not one of a serious nature. Scenic Beauty Not Seen by Students, Dean Watts Says Present-day students fail to' take advantage of the opportunity to ob . serve scenic beuuty which is afforded them by the geographical location of the College, according to Dean Ralph :|L. 'Watts, of the School ‘of Agricul ture. The Dean pointed out that while in former years many student-hikers could be seen leaving town in the di rection of the mountains on Sundays arid other holidays, now comparatively few are seen engaged in such recrea tion. “Students seemingly have little de sire to acquaint themselves with their surroundings,” Dean Watts stated. “They live entirely too close to the College proper,” he added. “The location of the College should be of particular appeal and value to students from metropolitan areas, al though every student should become familiar with nature to some extent as a part of his education,” the Dean said. “I have taken tours of foreign countries on which I have supposedly visited the most beautiful spots in the world; none of them was more in spiring than some of those to he found within easy walking distance of the College,” Dean Watts concluded.

PETERS CONDUCTS TESTS ON HIGH SPEED AIRPLANE MOTOR William H. Peters, instructor in ! meehanical engineering, is conducting ; experimental tests on a high speed aeronautical engine which is being de veloped by the Lycoming Company at Williamsport. During the recent holidays, Peters conducted tests of the motor in the wind tunnel at the Lycoming factory. At present he is using a high speed internal combustion indicator owned by the department of engineering in an analysis of the motor's perform ance.
