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 “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.” METAL GROUP SEEK§ CHARTER Applicatioiyfpr membership, in the American.

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.
