NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY
"The Pennsylvania State College needs your
help. It is cueing the most serious crisis in its
With these words, President Hetzel launched the
campaign to secure the passage of Amendment Number
Bat the November 7 elections. His words are no exag-
Probably very few students realize the gravity of
the situation. With a cut of ten p2reent already made
in the next biennual appropriation, the College faces
another and larger cut of thirty-three and one-third
percent if Amendment Number 8 is defeated. It is
obvious that the College cannot operate normally on
such reduced funds. In order to continue on the re-
stricted basis, a thousand students would have to be
dropped, the valuable extension services of the College
would be completely broken down, the faculty would be
cut in numbers, research work would have to be cur
tailed, and the physical plant would deteriorate.
Quite emphatically, therefore, the College needs
the help of every student, faculty member, alumnus, and
friend. Soon students will be instructed as to just what
they can do. There will be very definite things for each
one to do. There should be no relaxation of effort when
the time conies.
(For ono thousand students, staying in College will
mean the passage of Amendment Number 8. For a good
many fraternities, continued existence means the pass
age of Amendment Number 8. For quite a few faculty
members, future livelihood means the passage of
Amendment Number 8. For others, the College's
further opportunity to serve the State means the pass
age of Amendment Number 8. It is not a matter to be
taken lightly.
IN A CHARACTERISTIC manner, quite a few stu-
dents are going around with drooping mouths and sour
words after Saturday's defeat at the hands of Muhien
berg. Of course, these students know just what to do
in any situation, and loud are the censures they heap
on coaches, players, and the athletic policy in general.
Although the wisdom of some of the substitutions might
berquestioned; there can be no doubkas
. tothe fighting
qualities of •the team. • The potential touchdown spurt
which it displayed at the end of the third quarter was
as lino a "comeback" attempt as students have seen here
in a long time. The fact that a technicality ruled the
touchdown out, seems to make all the difference in the
world. Because of it, the game was lost and the stu
dents aro dissatisfied. Such an attitude is obviously
poor sportsmanship. Nothing can be gained by a re
laxation of the fine spirit and cheering which was in
evidence Saturday. Incidentally, another exhibition
such as the Blue Band staged between the halves will
do much to keep that spirit bolstered up.
STUDENT LIBERALISM
The subject of student liberalism is an interesting
one. Here is an institution of learning, with an im
portant division for the',liheral arts, in which students
can browse over the thought of all ages, can view move-
milts of the past in their proper perspective, and can
weigh present beliefs in the light of past opinions.
Yet whore is the student who is actively and intelligently
interested in what is taking place in the world today,
and what it means for the society of tomorrow? He is
harder to find than an honest man. The majority of
students seem to be content with their round of -activi-
ties and classes. Occasionally, they get a professor
whose learning and enthusiasm is contagious, but for
the most part they are content to accept things as they
are, secure in the belief of their fathers that the pres
ent arrangement of things is the best possible.
It is therefore to be considered a healthy sign when
any group attempts to interest students in liberal, in
telligent thought on contemporary problems.. Three
such groups are the International Relations club, the
Social Problems club, and the Penn State Christian as
sociation. The first has already held a meeting this
year, while the second will meet for the first time Wed
nesday night. The P. S. C. A. confines its activities
in this direction to the holding of discussion groups and
the securing of prominent speakers. All three groups
deserve the tolerance of authorities, and any attempt to
drive their activities underground would cast a distinct
blot on the progressiveness of this institution. Oppon
ents of such groups• denounce them as purveyors of
"propaganda." Yet the easy optimism of some profes
sore and of some metropolitan newspaper editorials
which students read is propaganda just as much but of
the opposite sort. The militarist is a propagandist in
the same sense as the pacifist; the capitalist in the
same sense as the socialist or liberal. If one is to exist
here in a mild degree, then the other type of propaganda
deserves tolerance on the grounds of impartiality and
open-mindedness alone. Fortunately, authorities have
seen fit to permit the formation of liberal groups. It is
now up to the groups themselves to see that their activi
ties reach a larger number of students than heretofore.
OLD MANIA
Compliments to Major Thompson nail Dean
Grant! The Blue Band put on the finest exhibition
drill that New Beaver field has even seen, (artillery
and all) and the Glee Club's little offering was chic,
really. State's cheering was rather fine, too, al-
though of course the singing was weak in spots. The
weather was marvelous; brisk, bracing, real fall
weather. Dads were there in abundance, and a gen-
emus sprinkle of imported and local pulchritude,
it was a colorful, festive occasion!
And the score
Last night as I lay in my quarters,
Lookin' out at the cows on the range,
I wondered if ever a cow-boy,
Had got to the third floor of the Grange
For the roads that leads to that pasture,
Is guarded and watched all the way,
And many a cow-hand has fallen,
Who rattled his spurs, so they say
For it's there that there'll be the last round-up,
And the doggies that graze there will stand,
To be roped by the hard workin' cow-boys,
Who are posted and know every brand, ;:•
And if there should be a lone doggie,
Unseen and unknown on that range,
You can bet that she's not from the out-fit,
NV,Im graze on the third floor of Grange..
Chorus: I'm headin' for the last round-up, etc.
'Old Song
IMMIZI
We're the victim of a bit of particularly low-down
slander, and under-handed cussedness. Out of a clear
sky our struggling contemporary, The Campusesr,
sneered at us in his last column. Not that we mind;
we're used to that, and he probably didn't have any
thing better to write about.
What incensed us, however, was the lofty con
tempt in his condemnation of Penn State's Nudist
Cult. (Now anyone who keeps at all abreast of the
times would know that nudism is generally accepted
everywhere as a step toward proper philosophical
thinking and physical well-being. It's to the credit
of the student body of this College that they have
had initiative and push enough to organize and de
velop the group of nudists now in our midst.
We invite the opinion of undergraduates and foe
_ ulty upon this matter, and incidentally, we feel sure

A general survey serves only to emphasize Director
Kellogg's statement that Lehigh will withdraw from
"big time football" at least for the present. In line
with this policy Lehigh will meet teams of its own
calibre. Roman holidays for big teams may be fine

In the 'Collegian' Mail Box
To the Editor
I was rather surprised to see the
letters of "A Daughter of Penn State"
and H. V. R. '74 pretending to answer
mine in the issue of October 5. Sur
prised, because I know I presented the
sentiments of almost a hundred per
cent of our students, and since I al
ways thought the majority made
right, I did not see how any answer
was possible. Well, I suppose there
always will be a few discontented in
dividuals who like to stir up trouble.
"A Daughter of Penn State" is not
' satisfied with the music provided by
the college organizations. She would
probably have foreigners brought
here for a concert. I'd like to know
' what's wrong with our own musicians
right here at State College. I think
they are as good as any "ski" or
rvitch" .even - though they do keep
itheir hair well-cut.
And the Greek Literature class. If
that is not a manifestation 'of the
undergraduate desire for culture I
want to know What is. I forgot to
mention Art 74 in my last letter
thereby missing one of the best ar
guments in the "cultural" line. How
ever, here it is now. The evidence
is overwhelming. Do you think I'd
know that Leonardo Dc Vinci painted
"Sistine Madonna" if I hadn't taken
the course? I have also learned many
other facts of similar cultural nature.
I am afraid there are still a few
who fail to realize the importance of
the R. 0. T. C. Imagine our shores
invaded by a foreign nation. Doesn't
the well drilled R. 0. T. C. unit
give one a sense of security and well
being? The trouble with you mal
contents is that you do not know when
you're well off. My advice to you is
to sit back and leave the running of
things to those better qualified—and
,thank the Lord that they are in such
callable hands.

guise of "culture" the study of Greek

country which boasts of such creative

To the Editor
I wish to call to your attention an
ommission lit your write-up of the
scholastic averages of the colleges.
It seems to me to be an unfortunate
oversight not to mention the frater
nity having, the highest scholastic
average in the College. This neglect
assumes greater importance when the
fraternity happens to be a group al
ready suffering from prejudice and
segregation in State College.
The Omega Psi Phi, local chapter
of a national Negro fraternity,.made
the highest scholastic average of any
group in the College, and yet was
not mentioned except for a place in
the \ Jist of fraternities on the last
page of the paper.
This fraternity has been in exist
ence for thirteen years on the Penn
State campus. It has been pictured
and written up in La Vie. It has no
high scholastic requirements for ad-'
mission. While not a member of the
Interfraternity Council, it is a na
tional social fraternity.
I am not a member of this Ira-
ternity but am writing this in the !
name of sportsmanship that you give
this group of men the favorable men
tion they sincerely deserve.

In bouqueting - Mr. Cloatingh we do
not desire to nullify' the efforts of
either the Misses . Gravatt and Baer
or those of Messrs. Richards and
Binns. Richards and Miss Baer per
formed with their usual sincerity and
skill, while Miss Gravatt and Binns
were "naturals."
Among other things, the nervous
indecision of Oscar Fritchie, hotel as
sistant, was rather nicely portrayed
by Henry Iffoulthrop; LaVerne Reit
hoffer as Kitty Humphries, hotel tele
phone girl, didn't exactly have the
'dial tone' or something; while Her
bert Manning, as Cecil Benham, di
rector, was fortunate. in the respect
that he was portraying a "nervous"
type—which he seemed to do natur
ally. Herasimchuk and Balderston
also made appearances.
Of the stage-craft, the hotel bed
room of Act II was all• that could 'be
desired, but the Lehmac office seemed
just' a.bit too roomy and spacious for
the good of it's own sloppiness, and
there were too many newspapers on
one spot. The introduction of music
in keeping with the spirit of the per
formance at hand, as contributed by
the Penn State Players Little Sym
phony Orchestra under the direction
of John .Ryan, deserves mention as
being both creditable and helpful.

LOOKING
OVER THE
NEWS•. . .
Faced on all sides by nations who
could not seem to sympathize with
what his Nazi government stood for,
Chancellor Adolf Hitler has with
drawn Germany from the League of
Nations and the World Disarmament
Conference. Hitler's official state
ment declared that Germany wanted
"equality and honor."
After ens has ruthlessly demolished
righteousness in his path to unhuman
itarian and selfish notoriety what
right does he have to ask his brethren
for "equality and honor"? When the
Nazis began their fratricidal cam
paign and purposely destroyed so
much of the spirit and art in the world
they forsook'their honor.
The hysteria that is creeping upon
the Nazi regime is the logical out
come of the perversity irr their gov
ernmental administration. The Ger
man nation cannot much longer re
spond to the nationalistic narcotics
with which Hitler has been ply
ing it. With its trade gradually
being stifled, with its loss of external
sympathy, and with Russia's impend
ing break in relations, Germany is ap
proaching its crisis. • Whether the
Nazi government will survive the win
ter is very problematical.
The administration is getting set to
fire its strongest broadside at the de
pression. To thaw out $2,500,000,000
