Extra-Credit Plan Ignored • By Students, Dean Reveals No One Has Scheduled Independent Studies Permitted by College This Year No students have taken advantage of the ruling permitting independent work in any advanced classes this year, according to Dean Charles W. Stoddart, of the School of Liberal Arts. This may be due to lack of in terest either on the part of the stu dents or the members of the faculty, Dean Stoddart pointed out. - "I am heartily in favor of this pro cedure and have urged 'the members of the faculty of the School of Liberal Arts to take advantage of the privi lege," Dean Stoddart stated, "as it enables good students to receive addi tional training that they might not otherwise be able to get in the regular course." Only one class, which was conducted by Prof. Merritt M. Harris, of the department of English composition, made use of the ruling last year. Of the twenty students scheduling that course -in English composition; five were selected by Prof. Harris to expe riment with the new ruling.

This is the first year that such a tourney, in which members of a men's team represent local woolen's organiz ations, has been held at Penn State.

Reports submitted by Prof. Harris at the end of the semester show that the cuts of the students taking the advanced work were practically neg ligible, and that exceptional essays on modern trends in science, literature, and art, gleaned from the additional outside reading of the students, were received. "This work for advanced students is not to be confused with the Honors Course about which there was some discussion last year," the Liberal Arts Dean explained. "Under this system, good students are privileged to do ad vanced work in their regular courses. There is no 'special registration and the 'grade is earned by independent work." •• FACULTY.

Witch Will Swing at Beaux Arts Ball in Thanksgiving Celebration A witch will be hanged in State College to mark Thanksgiving eve this year. The gibbet on which she will swing will be in the middle of a small New England village, and a crowd of interested villagers will be in attend ance at her death. They will, in.fact, dance, both before and after the cere monies terminating , her evil life in pursuit of the aims of Satan. A limited number of Penn State couples will comprise the throng that supervises this twentieth century re vival of on eighteenth century Salem custom. Their justification for being present will be the possession of a formal announcement, printed with hand-cut type upon yellowed foolscap. The location, time and occasion for the execution will be the Armory, the night before Thanksgiving, and the Scarab Beaux Arts Bull. To arrive at the New England vil lage, the throng will have to pass through a subterranean passage, which will lead them into the middle of a cornfield on the outskirts of a typical colonial community. Upon ar rival, they will perceive an orchestra, hidden behind gravestones in the neighboring burying ground. Per haps their feet will be stirred by the rhythms of the orchestra, known lo cally as Bill Bottorf and his band, and will dance through the village streets. Attendants at the ceremony will be Retain Lead for Three Quarters Until Pass To . ,Pennypacker Knots Score—Both Fail To Make Extra Point SLUSSER TALLIES FOR LIONS ON PASS E=6l3 A football feud of forty-three years vintage remained unde cided for 1933 as the Nittany Lions of Penn State were held to a 6-to-6 deadlock by the Red and Blue of the University of Penn sylvania on Franklin field Satur The Nittany representative: chine that amounted to eleven STUDENTS TO AID RED CROSS DRIVE P.

S. C. A., in a Red Cross Old Clothes Drive which will begin to morrow. All fraternity, sorority, and board ing club officers have been notified of the need for their support in the con duct of the drive, which is scheduled to extend until Friday.night..

Student Committee To Aid Work Jaines A. Gaiser '34 is chairman of the committee in charge of supervis ing the collection of old clothes from students during the drive. In the men's section he will be aided by John T. Ryan '34, Bernard H. Rosenzweig '34, Paul K. Hirsch '35, Berwyn L. Miller '35, Walter D. Emery '36, Lee R. Hamsher 'l6 and Ralph T. Ir.

Because of the immediate and ur gent need for old suits, dresses, un derclothes, gloves, shoes and stock ings, neckties, and apparel of any de: scription by the great number of poor in the immediate vicinity of State Col lege, students are being urged, both by posters and by personal contact with members of the committee to give what they can, but to give some thing, at least, towards the relief of suffering in Centre county this win ter. dressed in keeping with the times. As a fashion craze has been sweeping the town, prizes mill be awarded for the best fostumed couple attending the hanging, while, as the villagers in their naive way realize the value of humor, a prize will also be awarded to the couple wearing the most ludi crous costume. If, perchance, • the dancers find themselves in need of a draught to remove a thirst that has resulted from their exercises, they will find handy a truly representative village tavern, re plete with good old New England cider, as well as sundry other staples which the villagers may sample, and quaff. Inside the village houses will be found seats, where those wearying of the festivities attendant upon the swinging of an 'evil one' may rest. In spite of archaic surroundings, instigators of the plot to hang the witch, whose name, to save the face of family connections, has not been re vealed to us, have told of a distinctly modern evening awaiting all couples attending. Circulators of the invita tions to the hanging, have warned prospective attendants at the execu tion to get their printed announce ment early, lest they be found upon the eventful eve, hanging over the barnyard gate, wasting an evening during which such an epoch making event is to take am?. ESTABLISHED PRICE FIVE CENTS lay afternoon functioned as a well-drilled ma victory-made demons. Captain Tommy Slusser scintillated above his teammates only because his was the fitting honor of scoring the second quarter touchdown that gave the Blue and White an early lead. I'ennsy!vania Out-Smarted But mere words can never describe the superiority of the Lions. History has been written. Forty years from now the curious will only know that the game ended in a tie; they never will know what a vicious beating the Red and Blue suffered. The Pennsylvania eleven was out smarted and out-played in every de partment of the game, and only through sheer weight of numbers were they able to keep the Lion from. :Ile door. Aside from attacks that were capitalized, the Quakers—like oppor tunity—only knocked once on the Lisa goal line. Meanwhile, an inspired Blue and White machine five times had Pennsylvania with their backs to the wall. No Scoring First Quarter • After a first period void of scoring, Penn-;•Stite- ,, found , themselves on Penn's 30-yard line with fourth down coming up and three yards necessary for a first dovim. Only the play be fore, Red and Blue secondaries had batted down one of Quarterback "Red" O'Hora's passes. But O'Hora took a page from Rob ert BiVee and the spider. He called for another pass. Captain Slusser snaked down the field and over the goal line as O'Hora faded back to his own 45-yard line and made the pass which held Lien destiny. .Five yards beyond Ihe'gOal line the Lion captain made a hurculean leap .and' fell to' the ground With the ball safely nestled in his. arms. Don Kel lett and "Red" Shanahan, shadowing Slusser, were unable to smother the play. O'Hora's try for the point-af ter-touchdown would ultimately have meant victory had it succeeded, but. the kick flubbed. Lions Lead ,Until Fourth • • Penn State held the six-point lead until seven minutes of the last quar ter remained, when Pennsylvania du plicated the Lions' feat from the sonic spot in the field and in the same man ner. The only difference was that Pennypucker, left end who scored for the Red and Blue, was wide open on the Lion goal line. The Quakers were on the 31-yard line, fourth down, three yards to go. An unsuccessful forward pass attempt had set the stage. Kellett dropped back to the Lions' 38-yard line and sailed a long, accurate forward over the last Nittany defender's head to Pennypacker, tying the score. With victory hinging on the success of the try for point-after-touchdown, Kel lett was harassed by an avalanche ~f Blue and White defenders and his hurried kick went to the right of the uprights.. The score was tied and bright Lion —o— (Continued on page three) `Digest' Will Buy Unusual Snapshots Student readers of the Com.E GIAN and of 'Collegiate Digest', weekly news-pictorial, will be paid one dollar each for snapshots of unusual faculty and student :Activ ities published in the pictorial, ac cording to notification received from the editors of the COLLEGIAN supplement.
