Since 1926, two wrestling tourneys have been held here, the Eastern is that year and the National tourney in 1930. Wrestlers from eight other eastern colleges and . uni versities are the guests of honor 'this week-end. As fine representativ2s or a fine sport, they are welcome. ALTIIOLTGII "KING" COLE will be unable to de fend his heavyweight wrestling title this week-end he cans.; of ail injured arm, his name will go down in Lion sports annals as one of the best types of athlete Penn State has ever produced. Without any experience in wrestling and very little in football before entering College, he fought his way to an Eastern Intercollegiate \Y.restling• championship last year and distinguished himself last fall as one of the best tackles in Penn State gridiron history. Such lately developed athletic ability is a tribute to'Penn State 'coaches and to the spirit of the man himself. NO ILLUSIONS ARE HELD as to the far reaching results of the war poll now being conducted by the COLLEGIAN in cooperation with other college newspapers. Even if the results are favorable to the pacifists and are presented to . the National Government, they are not likely to be talsen seriously. Youth's proposals in this respect have been notoriously disregarded. But there is one' merit in the poll which is enough to justify it. The questions of internationalism, armament control, and trado neutrality are by no means permanently dead They will krissnes for many : years to come. ' So it is - interestinehli as a •'re*Cor d, to have down On paps' just what. college students pre-war era thought. 'about measures which would go a long Way toward Making wars infrequent. STUDENTS IVIIO HAVE at lona a pasing inter est in current criticism of the N. R. A. will profit by reading. two controversial articles which have appearctd recently. neither defends the N. R. A., but each is as different from the other as possible. The first is the re print of Mr. William Randolph Hearst's radio speech in which the Old Guard viewpoint is presented, with the contention that if business were let alone it would re- cover more quickly. The other article, entitled "Is It A New Deal?" is by Abraham Epstein and appears in the March issue of Current History. It is a concise statement of the radical belief that the N. R. A. is in no sense revolutionary and that it will fail of laatin . g bene fit because it does not sufficiently correct the inconsis— tency between what the laborers; prOduk and what 'they can fAly with the walles;:4.oYo them YOUR MONEY'S WORTH We arc sometimes inclined to wonder just what many students carry away with them after a four-year sojourn hel•e. They come here backed by parents' funds, in many cases hard-earned cash, and invest considerable sums in fees, books, equipment, and other incidentals necessary to a college education. After graduation, when many ruefully begin to check up, they find that the dividends which such training should bring are being denied them. Is is thei . r fault?' Suppose we lake inventory? One does not invest in a kinking institution when it is believed insolvent. One does not purchase a typewritdr without expecting considerable service from it. Why then should the col- lege investment he squandered? Of the four or .fire or six thousand dollars that the average college man spends during his.fonr years, little van be directly applied. to his real educatipm'the.ahility to think independently, to question intelligently. The greater part is exl)ended for clothes, for food, for light entertainment, for all the petty, pretty. baubles that polish one externally. Perhaps we are somas when we talk of, obtaining lie education. But such resolutions do not entail sched uling "snap" CiIIII•FCS for credits and honor.poin'ts, boast s!' many "cuts" in a particular course,, or slipping through with the minimum ammmt of work. Why do we lose sight of our ultimate goal so quickly? It is not necessary to become a recluse. It is not necessary to dabble in all extra-curricular activities the college affords. If well-balanced, all pursuit:: are good. Absorbing interest in the world about one, and "constant association with people who arc possessed with the divine fire of inspiration," of which, unfortunately, there are too few, is the surest way to realize the dividends the college.offers. People do not like policemen. They can- stand proctors now awl then, and they can put up with R 0. T. C. officers providing they, the people, arc in a good humor, but they do not like policemen. At times, this feeling is more pronounced, more evident We believe that this must be the season when they definitely want no part of policemen. Anyway, our desk has just recently been flooded with little coin pitinications about the various brtriches of the local constabulary. It makes us feat . as though we were editor of the Police Gazene Dear Campy Once there'wes a cop in State College, and also a Chief of that one policeman. However, the depres sion arrived. Now, there is still one cop, but no chief. So it's just plain Officer Yougel to you. Kenneth C. lierfrnan '35 __Phillip nar. jr. '35 From an unpublished Cuu.EGlitr: story: "Last Saturday night was the first since the beginning of .hinuary that some student hasn't spent the week-end in jail, according to Wilbur F. Leitzell, State College burgess. When asked if there had even been any co-cds who spent the night there, the burgess replied, 'No, but I'm living in hopes."! From the Ca m pne Patrolman.'

Lecture With Victrola Records of Comic Opera Tunes I "Neither the works of Gilbert nor Sullivan rise above mediocrity when considered individually - , but when the two men collaborated to write operas, their works were transcended into Imasterpieces," Prof. William L. Wer ner stated in discussing the works of I these two men during the last of the !series of Liberal „Arts lectures Tiles ! day night. "Gilbert and Sullivan are undoubt edly the outstanding writers in their field during the latter half of the eighteenth century. The works of These two Englishmen were world ! wide in popularity and at one time over forty troupes were showing their operas. In New York City alone eight companies were playing 'Pinafore' at the same time, Professor Werner said. During the. first part of the lecture he discussed the work of Gilbert with i special reference to his satire. Asis' the targets of h'satire Gilbert se lected personalities and institutions which are out of '<lute today, Pro fessor Werner 'declared. lie said that although Gilbert threw stones at the politics of tfitif day, he was es sentially a humorist and not a revo• lutionist, Sullivan furnisl;l the lyrics for the, operas. To illustrate them Professor Werner played victrola records of the lyrics in 'The Pixates of Penzance."
