Minutes of Game Fails
To Produce Tally
I=l
History repeated itself as Syracuse
shaded the Nittany Lion eleven by a
one-touchdown, 12-to-S margin in
.Archbold stadium Saturday afternoon.
Minus only the climaxing dramatic
quality of the 1932 game here,. the
twelfth contest was a duplication of
score' and a futile last-minute sortie
by the Lions.
Syracuse Scores Early
Syracuse assumed an early six-point
,lead but - left 'halfback Harry Sigel
carried the ball over the Orange goal
line on the eighth play of final quar
ter to do the score at six all. With a
fighting ,Nittany 'Lion worn out in
amassing the tying,. touchdown, the
Orange-clad gridmen marched down
.the field from the Lions' thirty-yard
line for the deciding score.
Finding
.themselves once again on
the short end of the score, Captain
Tommy Slusser and his mates un
loosed 'an offensive drive that barely
missed tying—and possibly winning—
the game. Syracuse was stopped on
the Lions' sixteen-yard line because
of a forty-two yard penalty for slug
ging..that moved them back deep in
their own territory. ,
Lions Attempt Phss

Sigel made four yards thi•ough the

back; attempted to pass, but.although
he was smothered, Syracuse was 'off
'side and the Lions had a ,first 'down
on the Orange . sixteen-yard line.
Fearing that the game would end be
fore the threat could be capitaliied,
the Nittany field general passed over
the, goal, line just beyond the reach of
potential Lion receivers. One Syra
cuse. play later the game ended.

tradition of dole battles with the Or

DEAN WARNS STUDENTS
TO OBTAIN CAR PERMITS
Rules Governing Student ''Motors
NVill Be Rigidly Applied
A Ivarning has been issued•by Dean
of Men Arthur R. Warnock that stu
dents who are operating cars in State
College without a permit will be or
dered to send their cars home as soon
as they•are reported.
• Dean Warnock declared that con
tinued violations will result in having,
the car sent home permanently, while
in stubborn cases the violator will be
dismissed from College. The warn
ing is based on the College regulation
which forbids the use •of•automobiles
in the College community by students
registered•in the College.
Students excepted from the regula
tion include those whose homes • are
near' the College, and those engaged
in a legitimate business which makes
the use of an 'automobile necessary to
the successful condint of the business.
In such cases written permits should
be obtained frorn'the Dean of Men or
the Dean of Women.

Dean Steidlea, Statement
The School of Mineral Industries is
the College mediain',for serving the
mineral producingTand primary pro
cessing. industries Pennsylvania.
These industries employ 610,000 work
ers in a normal year, produce $l,-
700,000,90. minually. 'and make up
about 43 percent of the State's rev
enue. Truly, PermsYlvania's mineral
resources hay . e . heeathe very heart of
her econemie development. In what
way will the; nonpas - sage of Amend
ment Number 8 'strict the School of
Mineral Industrieili , ',;'.., . •
Competition e , miners indus
tries is keen and• Pennsylvania is los=
ing ground. There is imperative need,
therefore, for a comprehensive. educa
tional program in this field. Although
research is ierhaps more fundamental
to future progress, no less important
is instruction of high quality in this
field, including the thorough, training
of mineral industries workers.
''Program NOw Well-Rounded"
The School of Mineral Industries
has just rounded out its program of
educational service to Pennsylvania.
How effective the School will serve the
State in the future, is a matter which
lies in the hands of her people. As in
the case of other Schools, a cut has
been absorbed already by the School
of Mineral Industries but ends have
been held together by one means or
another.
Pennsylvania- has only one student
enrolled in mineral industries curric
ula for each $5,000,000 worth of an
nual mineral Products. The supply
of graduates has never been greater
than the normal demand and the drop
ping of any undergraduate students
would not be in keeping t •therefore,
with true values. Furthermore, the
School gives important Service instruc
tion to students in other Schools in
geology, mineralogy,' ,geography, .met
allurgy, 'and ceramics. The dropping
of faculty members would be,imprac
tical,.therefore, even considering that
students in the School would be
dropped.
"3,000 Extension Workers Now"

many of thirty miles each way to

for self improvement: The Extension
Division cannot now meet half the
demand for training and any further
cut in, appropriatoin would paralyze
this department of work - for years to
come.
`Further Cut Devestating"
While the mineral industries in
Pennsylvania have been the chief
source of revenue for over 100 years,
it has been only within the last two
years that . the State has put anything
back into these industries in the way
of State supported research.. The
'present monies anprgpriated for . re

compared to the service to be rendered
and, in fact, is exceeded by. monies
supplied now by the mineral indus
tries themsehies for special research
on fundamental problems. Any fur
ther cut would be devastating to the
wark now in progress which affects
so: directly . the future well-being of
the Commonwealth.
Whitmore Makes Statement
From the office of Dean Frank C.
Whitmore, of the School of Chemistry
and Physics, comes the following no
tice:
If Amendment Number S fails to
pass, the consequences to the School
of Chemistry and Physics will be most
serious. As to its effect on the staff,
I can make no definite guess.
. .
The effect on certain vital phases
of our research .program would be
disastrous even though a special ses
sion of the Legislature'. voted to re
store the funds lost through a failure
of Amendment Number t B. At least
three of our major research projects
have been seriously delayed already
necessary equipment until the fate of
because of the impossibility' of buying
Amendment Number 8 is known.
The failure of that • Amendment'
would mean further delays which
would practically destroy some of our
most important projects. This is be
cause we are working in several new
fields in which many other universit
ies are very active. ' Chief among
form of hydrogen, deuterium, _some
these are studies on the new heavy
newly discovered laws of difusion of
hydrogen, and studies involving the
use of liquid hydrogen in important
physical and chemical measurements.
In these highly competitive fields oth
er investigators will almost surely
"heat us out" in making important
discoveries if our program is further
delayed by the failure of Amendment
Number 8 to pass,
Equally disastrbus will be the re
sults on our instructional program
although they may not appear as'im
mediately as would those in the re
search program.

ing for their appropriations, will also

Rural Vote Uncertain
According to leaders who have tak
en a straw vote in various vicinities,
the attitude of the voters is compara-
tively favorable toward the proposed
Amendment. It has been reported
that all the municipalities and urban
centers, including the eastern section
of Pennsylvania, are heartily support
ing it.
Certain districts, however, such as
the soft coal region in the southwest
ern part of the State, and outlying
rural areas, are objecting to its pas
sage. This objection is based on the
contention that the cities arc the chief
beneficiaries, through hospitals and
unemployment relief, so that the far
mers are opposed to it on principle. ,
Receives Newspaper Support
Loratlx,.there will I:2e s an,orgapizA
- Crilefaague'of the bor-
Il of State College to get all the
voters of the town to the polls as soon
as possible. Special groups will, be
assigned to districts, and every dig ,
ible adult will be contacted during the
day.
Practically all the newspapers of
the Commonwealth supported Amend
ment Number 8 during the entire
campaign with news articles and edi
torials. Letters and circulars explain
ing the issues at stake were mailed to
every alumnus and friend of the Col
lege, with about 20,000 post-cards be
ing mailed by students last week.
I A joint organization, including
! groups interested in the hospitals and
unemployment relief appropriations,
as well as committees representing the
Universities of Temple, Pennsylvania,
and Pittsburgh, has cooperated with
the College in the drive for the $20,-
000,000 issue.
Impressing upon the voters that the
money to be appropriated is not an
additional amount, but only a part of
the regular sum approved by the leg
islature at the session in the spring,
has been the key-point of the educa
tional campaign for the Amendment's
passage.

Number 8 taken from the newspapers
