night, numbers among his• astonishing.

from'a depth of 2,200 feet below the'
ocean's surface. • .
The broadcast was accomplished
September 22,1.932, during the scien-'
tist's deep-sea explorations 'near Ber=
muds. Sealed in the bathysphere, or
steel ball, which had been lowered'
more than a half mile into the ocean's'
depth, Dr. Beebe ddscribed the weird'
sea creatures which' swam,-plist 'his

- • In Danger Drily Once
Although the deep-sea explorations
were made under' perilous. conditions,.
the scientist's life and that of his
companion, John Tee Van, were grat-'
ly endangered only•once. The near-ac
cident occurred near the conclusion of
operations in October; - 1912.
"When off Nonsuch Island,"
Beebe explained in relating the inci
dent upon his return-to -America, ."we
struck a jagged ridge of seabed. The
bathysphere in which : we'• were being
towed by 'our,' lug;''Freedom,' was , 1
moving along on a comparatively level

successful, 'and the results will. be re:
lated in the lecture tomorrow night.'
As a supplement to the sketches
and . studies made from the bathy
sphere, Dr.. Beebe has also collected
specimens from a•'depth of two miles.
These specimeni were secured by the

Consolidation of Groups
A recommendation to reduce the number of existing societies and honor

report on honorary fraternities anti clubs at Penn State which was given to
the Student Union Board at its meeting last Thursday. The report was sub

GLEEMEN TO TOUR
4 EASTERN TOWNS
Club Will Participate in Eighth
Annual Intercollegiate Song
Contest March 5
• In order to conform with the policy
of the College which aims to show
high school students what activities
are being undertaken by various Col
lege departments, a four-day tour of
high schools in the eastern part of
the State by the Men's Glee Club has
been arranged by the department of
music. The concerts will be given
prior to the club's participation in the
eighth annual State Intercollegiate
glee club contest in Philadelphia on
March 15.
Leaving by bus early Monday mor
ning, March 12, thirty-four selected
men will travel to Reading where
they will give a program in the high
school auditorium at noon, under the
auspices of the Penn State alumni club'
of Reading. The day's itinerary will
be concluded with a similar concert
in-the--Lower • Merion— high— school-
Monday night.
Offer To Broadcast Ref used
The third concert of the tour will be
given in the high school at Darby,
Tuesday night, March 14. On the fol
lowing night the men singers will give
the same program in the largest high
school auditorium in Allentown, pre
paratory to their appearance in Mit
ten Hall auditorium, Broad Street,
Philadelphia the following day.
Although an offer has been receiv
, ed by the department of music here
to broadcast an hour's program over
station NIP Wednesday afternoon, it
has been refused because of the pre
vious engagement in Allentown. In
asmuch as the winners of six cham
pionships will be in Philadelphia only
one day, they will be unable to broad
cast because of their presence at the
Inte•collegiates.
Endeavoring to win the State
championship for the seventh time,
the College gleemen will compete with
five other colleges. The contest is
sponsored by the Temple University!
alumni. Judges for the meet will be
chosen from among prominent musi
cians throughout the state.

Singer With Hopkins Fast Becoming
Radio's Most Popular Negro Soloist
"He's not a Calloway, and he doesn't
have the blues quality of 'Ethel Wat
ers, but he's making strides towards
being one of the most famous of pop
ular negro singers in this country to
day,"—that's the way one critic de
scribes the popularity that has been
attained by Orlando Robeson, negro
song interpreter with Claude Hop
kins and his band, who will provide
one of the entertainments when that
orchestra plays for Soph Hop here
Friday night.
Robeson, who has come up into pro
minence as a popular singer with
dance orchestras pretty much within
the last year, started on the road to
national success when the Harlem
Serenaders went on the air over
WABC last year. His singing on the
Harlem Serenade program brought
immediate appreciation, both by letter
and personal contact, to the negro
singer.
'As an advocate of what is known
as "straight' singing for most melo
dies, as opposed to the "Hi-dec-ho•ing"
of other colored warblers, Robeson has
become widely popular among the
negro _population of 'Sew York City
PRICE FIVE CENTS
that it has uncovered no evidence sup
•ering, but discovered some fees and
charges which appear excessive. The
report admits, however, that there
may be valid reasons for these
charges.
Merging Suggested As Remedy
It was suggested that several or
ganizations hold joint meetings to con
sider the possibility of merging. Ten
tative mergers advocated by the com
mittee include Scarab and 'Pi Gamma
Alpha to represent architecture, and
Pi Delta Epsilon and Sigma Delta
Chi to represent journalism.
If the recommendations are follow
ed out, Kappa Gamma Psi and Phi
Mu Alpha will consolidate to repre
sent music. and Tau Beta Pi and Sig
ma Tau will become one organization
to represent engineering. In addition,
the Senate Committee on Student Wel
fare is asked to investigate carefully
all applications for new local organi
zations as to fees, aims, and needs.
Surrey May Be Continued
The questionnaires were sent out
last October to all organizations ap
pearing as such in the 1932-33 Lo
Vic, but inasmuch as Student Union
has since compiled a list of all stu
dent organizations, it is probable that
the.survey will be continued.
Inasmuch as local. and national
clubs appeared to be social in nature
and for the most part_ reported fees
and dues:that were 'not burdensoinei
little consideration was given to that
division. Les Sabreurs and the Anzar
club were the only two upon which
action was'-recommended.
Report Lists 17 Societies
Other societies which the committee
judged to have unduly high expenses
are Phi Lambda Upsilon, Sigma Thu,
Tau Beta Pi, Chi Epsilon, Eta Kappa
Nu, Pi Tau Sigma, Pi Gamma Mu,
and Sigma Gamma Epsilon. Profes
sional fraternities coming under this
same classification include Scarab.
Alpha Pi Mu, Kappa Gamma Psi, Phi
Mu Alpha, Delta Sigma Pi, Delta Sig
ma Rho, Sigma Delta Chi, Pi Lambda
l Sigma, and Scabbard and Blade.
llncorporated in the report were
several recommendations, the first of
which suggested that a committee be
appointed by the Student Union Board
if a more detailed ' investigation of
apparently high fees and dues was
thought desirable. Representatives of
the societies and fraternities listed as
having these high fees are to lie pre
sent at these hearings.
Propose To Limit Office-llolding
The report further suggested that
all organizations attempt to reduce
the proportion of their fees going to
the national offices. In addition,
they are asked to reduce to a mini
mum their local fees so that finances
will not be the deciding factor in ac
cepting or rejecting an invitation to
membership.
The committe further suggested that
the Senate Committee on Student
(Continued on patio four)
us well as among radio listeners. Ile
has been singing with the Hopkins
band during their stay at the ll.ose
land Ballroom, on Broadway, in New
York.
In additions to his singer. Claude
Hopkins and his orchestra are known
for the amount of melody that is tak
en over by the piano. As Hopkins
plays the piano himself, and as he
arranges all orchestrations, this is
easily explainable. His work on the
ivories is one of the distinctive qual
ities for which the orchestra is known.
The orchestra, which has been play
ing in New York, will stop at Stale
College while in a tom• of the East.
their work on the Columbia Broad
casting System programs every night
will be interrupted for the tom•.
Following the recent trend toward
"sweet" music, as well no the warmer
type to be played by the more famous
of negro bands. Hopkins this last
year has specialized in mixing in with
his faster numbers a large selection
of slower, more sentimental tune.s.
According to 'members of' the Soph
Flop committee, that is the chief rea
son why his band was chosen instead
of, fur instance, Noble Sissel.
