Page Four BANKS RETURN TO NORMAL BUSINESS Deposits Exceed Withdrawals On Day of Opening—Scrip Redemption Begins Banks in State College were resu ming normal banking functions Wed nesday morning. One bank had al ready received the license enabling it to conduct all regular transac tions and the other establishment ex pects to resume usual business today or tomorrow. .In the first day of unrestricted business, deposits totalled more than the withdrawals. Officials were pleased with the gain in deposits, stating that it was an evidence that the public had not lost faith in the dependability of the banking system. Scrip Recalled Over a third of the total amount of scrip which was issued in State Col lege had already been redeemed by Wednesday night. The temporary medium of exchange, which was is sued last Friday when the banks op ened for a restricted amount of busi ness, is now being replaced in cash or being converted into deposits. Over ninety-nine percent of the scrip is expected to be cashed by the end of this week. However, officials said that the scrip should be present ed at the banks within a reasonable time, as it will not be valid indefin itely. The only restriction which the banks are now working under is the Federal Reserve ruling which pro hibits withdrawals for purposes of hoarding. Detailed instructions in this line have not as yet been received by the local officials.

EXPERT WORKMEN KELLER’S GARAGE East College Avenue PHONE 282 Blanshard Notes Reaction Against Fraternities, Emphasis on Football “Distinct reactions against frater-1 nities and the over-emphasis of foot ball are now the outstanding trends on American college campuses,'* Dr. Paul Blanshard, civic reform leader of New York City, said in an inter view just before his Forum lecture here Tuesday night. j Within a few years, the college j football player will no longer play : the role of a hero blit will be just another student, Dr. Blanshard be lieves. There has been so much hy pocrisy and so. much ballyhoo con nected with football in the last fcwj years that there was bound to be a reaction against it, he maintains. “The social.distinction that usually accompanies membership in a frater nity is diminishing rapidly in mosti colleges. The reason for'this is that fraternities have been based on a false LIBRARY SHOWS PRINTS, STEPS IN BOOKMAKING Lithograph Portfolio, Series of Mats Exhibited This Week Two concurrent exhibits, a descrip tion of steps and processes in book making and a collection of Currier and Ives prints, are being displayed in Alcove K of the College library for the rest of the month, Librarian Wil lard P. Lewis announced today. The Houghton-Mifflin - company, publishers, has loaned the library a series of mats showing steps in the process of bookmaking. “The Picka ninny Twins” by Lucy Fitch Perkins, a juvenile publication, was selected for this purpose, with sixteep mounted cards illustrating every step from the original manuscript to the finished volume. A portfolio of Currier and Ives prints, presented to the College li brary by William B. Keeler ’23, in-- eludes some of the most noted of these colored lithographs which depicted all stages of American life and industry during the nineteenth centui*y. Many of the originals are now worth thou sands of dollars because of their rar ity.

WE BAKE FOR YOU STATE COLLEGE BAKERY WEST BEAVER AVENUE • theory of social values; instead of • selecting members for their fellow i ship, they have chosen men on the . basis of their family standing,” the : reform leader said. “After all, fraternities are a handi cap to the mental growth of the col lege student because they tend to keep a student in the same'circle of friend ship throughout his college career,” he said. “The student should feel; free to abandon friends as he out grows them.” In his Forum lecture on “Techno cracy and Socialism,” Dr. Blanshard said that while technocracy suggests that technicians should direct our so cial order, socialism actually presents a plan of reorganization and control. “Abolition of the price system is the greatest fault of the technocrat’s plan because it aims to replace cur rency with energy units,” the speaker explained. “As men’s wages would be commensurate with the actual amount of physical labor displayed, it would be almost impossible, as no nation can exist without a stable cur rency basis.; Not even socialistic Russia can do without it.” The immediate program of social ism, according to the civic reform leader, seeks a redistribution of wealth brought about by a peaceful but dem ocratic revision of unemployment in surance, old age pension, inheritance tax, and capital levy. It stresses col lective ownership with a new struc ture built from the present financial system, he added. “We want a new social order, in which the degradation of wealth is pushed off the backs of the wealthy onto the .'backs of the poor,” he de clared. “Capitalism is doomed, but we shall have to wait a number of years before a clear ethical plan of labor replaces it.” THETA ALPHA PHI (Honorary Dramatic Society) James B.

Students will provide their own carpet, mirror, wash-bowl and pitcher, broom, lamp, and oil can.” So read one of the 'requirements for students’ at Penn State in 1878 as out lined in the "Annual Report of the Pennsylvania State College for- the Year 1877," when the College boasted a faculty of eleven members,- a grad uating class of three students, and a library containing 1,900 volumes. The student body in 1877 totaled 139 members composed of one post graduate, seven seniors, twelve jun iors, sixteen sophomores,- twenty-one freshmen, and seventy-nine prepar atory students. There were 116 men and twenty-three women in the group. . Old Main of 1878 was "a plain, sub stantial structure of limestone seated on a pleasant rise of ground. It is 240 feet, in length, eighty feet in average breadth, and five full stories in height, exclusive of basement,- with ample lodging rooms, chapel, library, society hall, laboratories, cabinets, and ar mory,” the report continues. Accessibility,- then as now, was a feature of the College’s location. Un der the heading’, ‘Means of’access,' the report stated that, ."A turnpike from the College gate to the end of Nittany mountains, connecting with the turn pike from Boalsburg, affords a good, continuous road to Bellefonte.

The banks of State College hereby express then sincere appreciation of the kindly consideration mani fested by the students during the Bank Holiday, which when issued caused some measure of embarrassment to very many. By your confidence and co-operation, the several institutions were materially aided in their program for coping with the situation. With the speedy return to normal banking func tions, let us hope that the inconveniences which manj r were called upon to face may soon be forgotten and with increasing confidence in our institutions and an abiding faith in those who have been called to leadership, face the future with the, confident hope that unmeasured prosperity may be our heritage; DYE SPEAKS ON ‘INFLATION’ AT SECOND MONTHLY FORUM Prof. Earl V.
