Hartmann, of the de partment of education and psychology, addressed an open meeting of the Social Problems Club in Old Main last night, with "Social Issues-Near and and Far" as his topic. U. Sl Will Recognize Russia Within 3 Months —Tanger Recognition of . Soviet Russia will come about within three months— certainly before six, Dr: Jacob Tenger, head of the department of history and political science, main tains. "LitvinolT, Russian Foreign . Com miser, should begin preliminary con versations with President Roosevelt early; next week and definite recogni tion should not be long in following. Two factors, however, will have to be adjusted first," Dr. 'ranger continued. "In the first place, there is the mat ter of some eight hundred millions— four hundred in private and four hun dred in government loans— to be straightened out satisfactorily," the department head pointed out. 'And then there is the matter of trade re lations.

REORGANIZES 8-WEEK GRADE PLAN Group Proposes Single Card System for Distribution To Underclassmen Three recommendations completely reorganizing the system of gathering and distributing eight and thirteen weeks grades to. fraternity freshmen -and "sophomores-have-.been submitted to Dr. Carl.E. Marquardt, acting sec, retary of the .Council of Administra tion by Bernard li. Rosenzweig '39, Interfraternity Council scholarship committee chairman. Under the plan as advocated by Rosenzweig, individual cards for each underclassman would be furnished by Interfraternity Council. Freshmen and sophomores would list their name, fraternity, school., and courses on their card, and return them to the Student Union desk, for 'distribution to school deans. Card Would Serve Semester "Zero" and minus grades would be recorded on the cards, whether by College secretarial employees, •or by representatives of the I. F. C. scholar- Shin committee, and they would then be returned for distribution to the fraternities. One card would serva for each underclassman for the entire semester. If immediate approval of the plan is forthcoming from the Council of Administration, the cards will be pre pared immediately, in order to assure correct . distribution of eight-weeks grades. Last year, individual frater nity scholarship chairmen were forced Ito seek grades at each dean's office. In addition to the work in arrang- I ing for grade distribution, the I. F. C. scholarship head is planning for fre quent meetings of the committee, at which plans for the raising of the general level of fraternity grades will • be discussed, both by committee niem hers and faculty men interested in the work.

"Evidently the government will temporarily abandon collection plans in order to receive other concessions." Asked whether he considered the United• States was seeking an ally to smother Japan's expansion toward the Phillippine Islands, Dr. Tanger scoff ed the suggestion." There are too many other grounds—chiefly ecor nomic—to take such a viewpoint," he said. "Evidently the present administra tion has realized that keeping Russia unrecognized has failed to result in either collection of the debts or hinder the growth of the communistic s'ystem," Dr. 'ranger said. "Shortly after the World War such a course would have been condemned,. but at Present the overtures are receiving wide popular support."

"There is, however, one danger lurking in the background—the pos sibility that the proposed amendment to the Constitution authorizing the $25,000,000 bond issue for relief pur poses may be rejected. Yet it - is un thinkable that it should be rejected, for rejection would result in disaster. The State would be plunged into utter chaos. "Beat it, and State aid to distresi would be ended.

Since both fugitives from justice are opposing extradition, it 'will be necessary for Governor Pinchot to requisition their extradition through the governor of. West Virginia. Wit nesses from the college towns may be required to go to Morgantown fon the preliminary hearing.

YOugel at once. All persons having contact with the susposed photo graphers will .be asked ,to identify them in order to give evidence for their extradition: It is the belief of the local police authorities, however, that the alleged criminals will not be brought back to Centre county for trial, because students here could not give as much evidence concerning the , prisoners as those in Dickinson. If proven guilty, the alleged rob bers will face an imprisonment•term of from ten to, twenty years, accord of from ten td fifteen years, accord ing to police officials. 7 ADDITIONAL MEMBERS APPOINTED TO FACULTY Dr. lietzel, Board of Trustees Name 5 Instructors, 2 Professors Following a meeting of the Board of Trustees, seven additions were made to the faculty of the College by President Ralph D.

One student, Richard W. Shope '36, was picked up by Officer Joseph Campbell, but was released at Watts hall forty minutes later. • The fracas began with the discov ery of a skunk outside the first floor windows of Watts hall about 10 o'clock. Jeers from Varsity and Frear halls were followed by raging battles, surrounding newspaper fires which were built, lit, and extinguished for an hour in the quadrangle. Approxi-, mately twenty-five students, mostly freshmen, started a snake dance in the general direction 61 McAllister hall. ,Shotby. OffiFpi, serenades 'o f the Wo men's building, McAllister hall, and Grange dormitory; the 'parade,' now comprising over 100 men, st,arted in the general direction of Locust Lane. At the corner of Fairmount avenue and Locust Lane, the borough officer,, who had been following the crowd in' the town police car, dragged Shope into it and started east on Fairmourit'i avenue. Immediately surrounded by the crowd, who demanded Shope's release, Campbell stopped a half block down Fairmount avenue and fired a shot into the air. The crowd fell back, and the officer drove off with his prisoner. The crowd, now augmented with fraternity men and numbering about 800, started for the town hall. However, Officer Campbell and his student charge had left before the major part of the crowd arrived. At the hall, the mass of students was urged by upperclass student leaders against damaging any prop-1 erty, and after minutes of indecision, the 'parade' started for the campus where two archery targets on Holmes) field were destroyed. Campbell was suspended from all duties by Burgess I Lederer yesterday morning for his) conduct in attempting to handle the crowd.

Writer Sees Lion-Orange Football Game as Toss- Up I=l A ragged bunch of Saltine Warriors will entertain the Nittany Lion in Archbold Stadium this Saturday. The odds which would have heavily favored the Orange two weeks ago have now dwindled to a slight edge based on early season performance. Syracuse has been in a rut and un less Vic Hanson is able to drag them out of the hole by Saturday, Penn State has every chance in the world of upsetting the supposedly strong Hill forward wall opening the way to vic tory as Michigan State did last week. Last week at East Lansing, Syra cuse was scheduled to hand the Spartans a stinging set back—but the tables .were reversed and after Syra cuse fumbled away three chances in the first half to score, the Green and White fury of Michigan State smoth ered the Orange under four touch PRICE FIVE CENTS Harry Sigel Replaced By Jim Boring at Halfback Post GAME MARKS TWELFTH LION•ORANGE STRUGGLE Team To Leave State College At 8 O'clock Tomorrow For Annual Battle Harry Sigel, regular halfback who has started every game this season, wilt be missing from the line-up as the Lions seek a comeback against Syracuse University in Archbold sta dium at 2:30 o'clock Saturday after noon. Sigel, who was injured in the Co lumbia game last Saturday, is tem porarily on the side-lines with a bad shoulder. Jim Boring, 180-pound re serve fullback, will start in Sigel's position—the only change in the line up that took the field last Saturday. Teams To Leave Tomorrow Following a scrimmage Wednesday night in which the first-stringers scored two touchdowns against the freshmen, only a light signal drill will be held this afternoon. The team will leave State College by bus at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. . . The game will mark the twelfth Lion-Orange grid game, a series which began in 1922. Syracuse has won six times, the Lions twice, and three games have resulted in tie scores. The Orange won last year, 12-to-6, when a late Lion offensive was thwarted on the goal line. Head Coach Bob Higgins, Coach "Spike" Leslie, Trainer Charlie Spie del,Studilpt Manager , John• and twenty-five members of the squad will make the trip. They are: Captain Slusser, MbKee, Rosen berg, Orlando, ends; Cole, Park, Wis mer, Woolbert, tackles; Sloan, Be doski, Woo'ridge, Berry, guards; An deMon, Jim O'Hora, Weber, centers; Frank O'Hora, Maurer, Mikelenis, Boring, Morrison, Sigel, Andrea's, Knapp, Skemp, Cooper, backs. Both Teams Seeking Win Rotated by Michigan State as badly as the Lions were against Columbia last Saturday, Syracuse will be seeking to climb the comeback trail. At the beginning of the season Coach Vic Hanson believed that the Orange men were ready for the best season in many a moon and subsequent games have borne out his contention. De spite a 27-to-3 loss to Michigan State, the Hill team held a S-to-0 advantage going into the second half, one fact that prefaces both a powerful attack and a stubborn defense. The Orange clad gridders defeated Clarkson Tech and Ohio Wesleyan by landslide scores. The 196-pound line worked like a charm opening big holes for fast, slippery backs to step through unmolsted. The following week the comparatively weak Cornell squad caught the Orange Ilat-footed in the throes of an off-day. Only by a miraculous passing attack in the closing minutes was Syracuse able to eke out a 1.140-7 victory over the Big Red. WARNOCK TO GIVE ADDRESS Dean of Men Arthur R.

The loyal sons of Piety Hill had potentialities of being a strong bidder for Eastern honors this fall with a 'wealth of line and backfield material equal to any team in the East. Along with this material come a new Hanson offense—a combination of the Notre Dame set-up, the obl Minnesota shift, and the Hanson double spinner. Now the bid can hardly be beard above the clamor of a noisy season of upsets.
