RELIEVING DISTRESS
:\ Tog students are probably not aware of the im
portance of the "Old Clothes Drive" now being spon
sored by a student committee in cooperation with the
local Red Cross and the P. S. C. A. Here is just a
sample of the sort of families that a little generosity
on the part of Penn State students will benefit. It is
the case story of one of Centre county's 1400 families.
"A family of ten, three girls and five boys, lives
in a poorly-furnished old frame farm house. The house
is in a dilapidated condition. The roof leaks badly and
the father bus absolutely no income with which he might
repair the house. The only food they have is a few
potatoes and sonic chickens.
'the entire family is badly in need of shoes and
clothing. None of the children are in school, appar
ently because of lack of clothing and shoes. The father,
who has always been a laborer, was employed as a part
time worker on the roads. lie earned only eighteen
dollars a month. If he should have an opportunity to
go bark to work, it would be necessary for him to be
clothed."
It is not until the distress of these families is real
ized, that students get any idea of how' important such
efforts as the present drive are. Too often students,
and others, arc so secure in their own well-being that
they are oblivious to the plight of more unfortunate
people. But there is no excuse for pleading ignorance
now. Almost every student knows; from his home town
experience. just how destitute some families are at the
present time. Here is a chance to help relieve some of
thie distress without any great effort or sacrifice on the
part of any student. Boxes for old clothes have been
placed in every fraternity, dormitory, and rooming
hopse. They should be well-filled.
NOW THAT FOOTBALL season is over, -Penn
Slate's soccer Learn holds'the center of attention. Here
is a teem which ranks with the best in the' country. It
is a team of which .students have every .reason to be
proud. As yet undefeated, it will meet the real test of
its strength in the game with Springfield here Saturday.
On this game hinges the eastern intercollegiate soccer
title. If the Lions win, they can lay very strong claims
to the title, along with the University of Pennsylvania.
It's hound to be a great game.
CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION
Believers in the right of an individual to be excused
from military training because?of conscientious or re
ligious objections, received somewhat of a rebuff at the
hands of the U. S. Supreme Court Monday. The Court
refused to review an, appeal challenging the right of
the University of Maryland to require its students to
take military training. Its reason was that no substan
tial Federal issue was involved, and therefore it had no
jurisdiction in the matter.
In the ifaryland ease, Ennis H, Coale, a student at
the University, was dismissed because he refused to
take compulsory military training required of all fresh
men and sophomores there. It was pointed out, how
ever, that student members of the Society of Friends
and other religious groups ; had been excused from such
training, and that Coale:Was alsoentitled to the same
privilege as one who had religiou's objectiOns to drill.
Nevertheless the Maryland Court of Appeals finally up
held the State statute which gave the University the
right to require its students to take military drill.
The Supreme Court was probably right in refusing
to review the case. Legally, there was no Federal issue
involved in this particular instance. However, the whole
question of compulsory military training hangs on the
connotation of the phraSe in the Federal Land Grant
Act which makes provision for military training in col
leges and universities aided by the Act.•
It has repeatedly been pointed out that there is
nothing in the working of the Act which , could be taken
In mean that military training should . be compulsory
any more than "agricultural and mechanical arts." It
merely requires that provision be made, for the teach
ing of those subjects in land-grant institutions. Sev
eral years ago, the United States Attorney General
handed down a decision to this effect. Drill was made
optional at the University of Wisconsin, a land-grant
institution, and no attempt was made on the part of the
Federal government to stop the change. 'On the other
hand, the Federal government has likewise made no
effort to have drill made optional, preferring to let the
decision up to the states themselves, It was probably
on this basis that Supreme Court acted as it did.
Of course, the State of Maryland has a right to
determine the requirements of admittance to its educa
tional institutions. But it is of doubtful logic when it
permits members of certain religious sects to be exempt
because of religious objections and then denies the
same right to members of other sects. The validity of
religious objections should be recognized in all sects,
if it is recognized in any.
Although there is much'to be desired as far as the
R.O.T.C. situation here is concerned, it is good to know
that no such distinctions are drawn at this College. • If
a man has a conscientious or religious objection to mili
tary.training, his objection is recognized, regardless of
sectarian lines. The University of Maryland might well

If you do belong to this class of forlorn souls,
just call the Rose Jove Agency (Tel. 500, Grange
Dorm). This company will guarantee satisfactory
service within twenty-four hours. It maintains
branch offices in the Infirmary, the Women's build
ing, and il.fac hall. We learn from the Director of the
Agency that testimonials are pouring in daily. "The
idea has worked beautifully and many of the boys
have been very pleased with their dates," Madame
Director says. Just call or, write Madame X, Rose
Jove Agency, Grange Dorm, and wait for results.

I am a young man, 20 years old. I am tall, slim,

moody; oft times I retire to my attic room and strum
the oboe. Nevertheless, I am amiable and willing to

We hate to start an argument, but we can't see
why the INfaniac suggested "Let 'Em Eat Pastry" as
a title for the next Thespian show. We suspect that
it was another of his sly digs. He probably wanted to
hurt someone's feelings. Personally, we think "As
Thousands Jeer•" is a much more subtle title. After
all, there is such a thing as Ethics in journalism.

LOOKING
OVER THE
NEWS . .
With the resignation of Professor
Sprague from President Roosevelt's
staff of financial advisers, the Admin
istration's monetary policy may now
be pushed forward with a completely
harmonious internal drive. As long
as the government has decided upon
gold manipulation to fix commodity
prices, the worst thing possible would
be to go about the work in a half
hearted manner.
Nevertheless, Professor Sprague's
criticises of the present plan carries
a good deal of weight. He points out
that the depreciated dollar will suc
cessfully yield a higher price level
only when the desired trade recovery
has been realized, and that recovery
expenditures are placing the nation's
credit in a precarious position, esti
mating that, two billion dollars must
be borrowed during the remainder of
the fiscal year.
However, is not the Administra
tion wholly aware of these conditiond
and taking measures to counteract
them? The increased exportation of
capital and durable goods which will
result from the recognition of Russia
fits right into the picture. The lower
exchange value of the dollar should
stimulate the flow of other excess
goods out of the country also. Then
again the Administration can put
those old war debts to good use by
putting the dollar in a position where
the debtor nations would not be so
averse to reducing them on a mone
tary basis rather than through in
creased imports on our part. As for
increased revenue, the federal liquor

When too much credit is concert.;

to keep its wheels of industry turn
ing. At present it is necessary to
make it easy for our debtor nations

the time for our industrialists to be
concerned with fabulous profits.
Evidently the legislative situation
in Harrisburg for the present session
will not be characterized by the
laissez faire or "let's be fools" atti
tude that was in evidence this spring.
Under a strong gubernatorial whip
leadership, constructive measures are
being legislated as is illustrated by
the acceptance of the Pinchot liquor
control• and tax program by the State
organization interests.
Providing for the establishment of
a State stores system and liquor mon
opoly to be administered by a con
trol board, the Pinchot plan incorpor
ates in part some of the suggestions
as outlined by the Rockefeller survey.
A commodity of such potent qualities
must necessarily be in safe hands to
protect the welfare of the public. By.
eliminating in part the profit motive,
the State administration is striking,

leggers who have thus far messed up
