ANOTHER LOCAL PASSES
As another national and local fraternity merger is
announced, it is merely indicative of the change which
has taken place in the College during the past few
years. Today hut two locals remain on the campus—
less than two years ago there were six.
During the decade of prosperity not so long ago,
Penn State, together with all other institutions of learn-
ing, expanded rapidly. New buildings shot up rapidly;
the enrollment increased; and the mrthber of fraterni-
ties enjoyed a similar vapid expansion.
At that time, many freshmen came to College
eager to join fraternities ami financially well able to do
so. This was the period during which many locals
were established. The lot of a local fraternity is a pe-
culiar one. Their ultimate’desire is to petition, and to
he accepted into, some national fraternity that they con-
sider their ideal.
In the period of their awakening, when members
of the local have as their goal nationalization, the fra-
ternity enjoys the healthiest days of its existence. In
an effort to become worthy of its objective, the house
takes on an enthusiasm-for scholarship, activities, and
campus recognition which does much to .forward the
individuals, the organization, and the College generally.
Rushing and’pledging are carried on in the same
wave of enthusiasm. But as the years pass and more
ami more nationals are found on a campus, the local
finds it increasingly difficult to secure men of a suitable
There may be exceptions to this, however. A house
may build itself up to a peak where it does not need the
tradition of a national background—it can appeal to
freshmen through its own individuality, its men, and its
accomplishments as a group of individuals. Such cases,
however, are exceedingly rare.
If a local can maintain this prestige, it should con
tinue successfully. Otherwise, the passing years will see
the oblivion of this phase of college life. It is bound
to pass out of the collegiate cycle as fabulous profits
from the stock market evaporated just a few years ago!
PENN. STATE LOOKED its best Saturday
with one exception. Every School and every depart
ment made special efforts to set up displays and ’dem
onstrate their wares for the benefit of the high school
students who were guests here.
However, the grounds and buildings department
found it convenient to pave and repair the drives about
the campus. The guests found themselves confronted
with piles of tarry stones, lumbering trucks, and swarms
of men plying shovels. Many were the dark glances cast
about as tiny, tarry stones hounded up on shiny fen
ders.
Probably the schedule of work is so definite that
a day or two alteration could not be made. It wasn't
so had during the Rotary convention—we weren’t try
ing to sell Penn State to them. In the meantime, cars
bounce and groan up the only entrance to the lower side’
of the campus.
THE FIRST “PENN STATE DAY” was run off
Saturday under the most favorable conditions by a
committee which had worked out a program which ap
parently clicked. When nearly 1,000 visitors are con
ducted about the campus and cared for 'by various or
ganizations through the day and over night, it speaks
well- for the committee in charge of arrangements.
Much favorable comment has been given, particu
larly, about the manner in which the Interscholastics
and other track meets were conducted. So arranged
that all spectators could watch every event, the after
noon was a pleasing contrast to the conventional hodge
podge that track meets formerly meant.
AS THE FINAL NUMBER of the Artists’ Course
approaches, it is interesting to note with what enthusias
tic response the whole Course was received. Abandoned
several years ago because of insufficient financial sup-:
•port, the project has proved highly successful this year,
ami in nil probability will bo continued next season.
He was standing on the walk by the Armory look
ing at the pretty green ivy and everything when we
started to pass him. We realized that anyone who
could be gazing at the Armory with all that love pour
ing from his bluish-gray eyes onto the old, battered
walls of y-enn State's Monument To Dead Heroes
couldn’t be a student here.
Glancing only briefly at his shipping tag, we
stepped around him, and then paused politely as he
gurgled, “Oh, and mister, is this the armory, where
the Reserve Officers have their guns and everything?”
.We told him, “Yes, and so what?” “Why, I’m plan
ning to come up here to College in the fall, and I’m
going to go right through the Training course, and be
a second lieutenant when I get through! It says that
you can do that, right in the catalogue my teacher
gave me.”
We were shocked. We didn’t show any outward
emotion. But we were shocked, and undecided. , You
see, we knew all about Mr. Morse’s sales campaign,
and we were “supporting it,” as the Collegian and
Pete Brandt and everybody wanted us to. We’d spent
an hour convincing'!! "guest” that he ought to come
here “because that was the only way he could pos
sibly make a swell fraternity—like ours, for instance.”
Oh, yeah, we knew our duty to the College, all right.
John E. Miller jr. '3O
-Harry B. Hi-mli-rson jr. *3O
Then we weakened, the thought of another uni
form in the Corner Room at ten-thirty on a Saturday
night made us‘ shiver. Casually, suavely, we men
tioned the horrible transportation facilities, the winter
days when to slither up Mr. Ebert’s nice icy walks
is to take your life in your hands. We dropped in a
word about th& Brg Dance bands that sound so much
better on the radio than in Rec Hall. To top it off
neatly wc slid in a slur about the co-eds. “Yes,
Palsic, whai you rcaliy want is a city college, like
Temple.”
That seemed to decide him; “Well-, it was kind of
nice hero for a while,” he muttered as he meditated
off down front campus. We’re not just positive, but
don’t believe Mr. Venable will have another recruit
for 1938.
We found it on our desk (sure we have one, aren’t
wc a columnist?) and it was heartrending in its ap
peal. So here it is:
LOST—At Froth Dance: My Lunch, My Hat,
My Date. The hat size ■}, date, about 32; I can eat
any time—but I do want my hat. Jim Norris. Call 127.
At the bottom, maybe an ad too was written,
“Dear Rowles: O. K. I give up, where were you
hiding? —Jim.”
The La. Vic people went up t<i Williamsport, partly
to look at the first two copies of the book, the other
day. It was a nice trip, and they enjoyed it, until
they looked a pages 393 and 408 of the book. There,
right in the middle of a page labelled “Theta Kappa
Phi, was a picture of some vaguely familiar looking
women. And right'in the middle of page 408; labelled!
“Kappa Kappa Gamma,” was a black picture of
Doc fsehan, Bob Dickinson and a lot of people named
O’Hora, Walsh, Minich, O’Shea, Kilfoil, Voorhees,
Ferraro, and so forth.
Editor-man Stegmeier tore his hair, looked back
on page 393. There were some swell combinations
there too. Doc Tschan was Sunny Merrill, Speidel
was Eva Blichfeldt, Ed -Yorke -was Betty Thompson,
Kehoe was Hortensc Cans. Oh, we could go on and
on * wl Company has disappointed
us. When the La Vies get here everything-will be
quite normal, they tell us.
Nearly everyone who was here very long got to
know Prof. Espenshade’s automobile, which has been
here quite a while itself. It’s a rugged affair, built to
last. And it has. People grew accustomed to seeing
the estimable Doc Espey piloting his towering craft
through the maze of State College traffic. But now
the Eng. Comp, man has shocked his friends. From
this time on people will see the dignified head of
the creative writing dept, gaily burbling through the
streets of the village in his new slipstream windflow
bell jar De Soto. We haven’t seen it yet, hut rumor
has it that it’s a gorgeous shade of green. We’re look
ing forward to seeing it.

THE PEitN STATE COLLEGIAN
‘Penn State Day’s’ j
Success Applauded l
(Continued from -page one)
er men and women graduating from
high schools each year, who are look
ing for guidance and help in select
ing a college and a course of study.
A program of this sort encourages
better students, because they get a
chance to look over the College.”
Hugo Bezdek, director of the School j
of Physical Education and Athletics,’
in discussing “Penn State Day” from]
the athletic point of view, declared, <
“It was a very fine day, much more!
than we expected for our first at- ■
tempt at this sort of thing. -We can'
be sure now of even bigger results i
next year. The number of visitors:
was very gratifying, in spite of the'
fact that there were a number of 1
conflicting events that day namely,
the twelve district meets in Penn-;
sylvania, of which these Interschol- j
asties were one ,of them. >
“The class of performance was very
fine,” the director continued. “We
were particularly fortunate that all
of our home athletic contests came
out right. A number of visiting!
coaches who were up here for the ;
first time commented to me on the j
hospitality which was shown them:
and the other visitors. They werej
more than pleased.” I
A. Kenneth Maiers '35, president of
L F. C., pointed out the fact that,;
should “Penn -State Day” be held!
again, the high schools ought to be!
notified that they.should only send!
seniors. Maiers explained that a
number of juniors and sophomores I
were here, and that this is an un
necessary drain on the fraternities.
The most gratifying development was
the boon given - to fraternity pre-sea
son rushing, he believes.
William S. Hoffman, College Reg
istrar, speaking from the administra
tive point of;view, said he thought
the turn-out of visitors was excep
tional. “Only one letter was sent to
each high school, and we had about
QOO register';thqir names and ad
dresses. ‘Pete’;’'Brandt deserves lots
of credit for • the splendid way in
which he handled everything.
“The actual'.extent of the success
of the ‘day’,” 1 Mr. Hoffman stated,
“cannot be determined until the en
rollment of these visitors is analyzed,
and we see.how many of them have
already received literature about the
College. We. will send if to the rest.”

PASTOR DISCUSSES
SCIENCE, RELIGION
Dr. William K. Anderson.-Johnstown
Minister, Talks Before Chapel
Audience Yesterday
“Once science hod to ask ecclesias
tical permission to state their’the
ories—now the positions * are re
versed," Dr. William K. Anderson,*
pastor of the Franklin street Meth
odist Episcopal Church of Johnstown,
declared in his chapel address on
“Does Science Leave Room for God?"
in Schwab ‘auditorium yesterday
morning.
Such studies as geology, nstrono-'
my, and biology show that the world
is an evolutionary product rather
.than a momentary creation, but it is
a pitiful assumption, the pastor con
tinued, that one cannot be true to
his science and to his religion at the
samfe-, time in. our modern world.
“Religion "and science have differ
ent ‘fields entirely, for science does
n't explain;-it merely describes,” Dr.
Anderson • stated. “It is religion
alonp' that gives ‘the .solution to our
problems,- for when ' you have only
described them, you are not through;
the reality still exists."
Science is learning to walk humb
ly with its God,, with the better sci
entific minds becoming more religious,
and vice versa, according to Dr. An-,
.derson. • Science may record facts
and delve here and there, but it does
not deal with value judgments, God,
immortality, or beauty, leaving the
field in these matters open entirely
to religion,' he concluded.
