LINGNAN DIRECTOR
SPEAKS IN CHAPEL
Waiinamaker Advocates Friendship
. As Only -Possible Approach
To Asiatic Problems
"Future progress. of the western
world in influencing Asiatic hehavior
towards world, problems cannot and
will not come through politics, eco
nomics, or militarism. The only pos
sible way to approach the puzzle is
through friendship:l declared_ Olin
D. Wannamaker In his address to the
chapel audience in Schwab auditorium
Sunday morning...
The speaker, - Whir is an American
director of Lingnan University, Can
ton, China, spoke on "China, America,
and the Unknown. Future," as the
feature of the annual "Penn State in
China" chapel service. In his talk he
dealt with probable relations between
the eastern and western civilizations:
Speaking bf 'present conditions in
the far east, the speaker pointed out
that the great question before the
world today is whether Japan is de
stined to become the great force rul
ing China, or. whether Russia, with
its hosts of communists will succeed
in- influencing Chinese thoughts and
actions materially, if China does not
soon become, on' its own initiative, its lii
own driving force.
Professor Wannamaker spoke at
three meetings sponsored by the P. S.
C. A. and the Wesley Foundation
yesterday. afternoon and night, and
spent today lecturing at regularly
scheduled College classes. Tomorrow
he will spend the Inorning in class

Head Recommends
Clearer Rules
Curtailment of the unrestricted
rushing period from five to three
days,' and elimination of the silent
period between the "open". and re
stricted systems was advocated by Ed
ward W. Yorke '34 Interfraternity,
Council rushing chairman, in an inter
-view with the COLLEGIAN yesterday.
"The code has proven itself entire
ly practical this year, and the only
changes necessary are all-embracing
definitions covering all situations and
shortening the unrestricted rushing
period," Yorke maintains. "I believe
that most of the fraternities operat
ing under the code were satisfied."
. "I would like to see the 1939 code
shortened to thirteen days, without any
silent period separating the restricted
and unrestricted systems," the C,Oun
cil 'rushing chairman explained. "If
the silent period were eliminated and
the 'open' system shortened to three
days, both the rushee and fraternity
men would benefit."
"With over fifty fraternities en
gaged in rushing, such a long period
makes the cost almost prohibitive;'
Yorke continued.- "Both rushees and
fraternity men 'suffer scholastically

Asked whatS.he" thouiht of making
the individual fraternities responsible
for getting bids to rushees, either by
mail or by direct contact, Yorke
stated that the system would receive
consideration, but there were several
flaws in the system as to make it im
practical. "Adoption of such a sys
tem would necessitate either a special,
period for distributing the bid cards'
or resorting to the mails," he said:
"Either plan would prove unsatis
factory, I believe. Constantly chang
ing addresses of the rushees would
make the mailing plan inefficient and
the direct distribution method would
necessitate association between fra
ternity men and rashees," he main
tains.
Members of the Council will have
opportunity to air their -grieviances
at the meeting Wednesday night and
en attempt will be made to incorpor
ate all suggestions in the 1934 code,
according to Herman C. Brandt '34,
