Hartmann acted as timekeeper for'the ten minute dis-. cussions that each of the leaders gave to open the meeting. The keynote of informality promised by Dr. Hart mann was preserved with only two of the men seated in a semi-circle on the platform rising to present their talks. Alfred G. £uhdt, of the department of history and political science, out lined important social : changes in history through the middle ages, French revolution, and industrial rev olution. “Revolution in this country ‘is no more possible than an earth quake in the North Sea,” he declared later in the discussion.

He used Soviet Russia, Italy, and the United States since last summer to support his belief that economic changes can be directed. “Our knowledge of human nature is so limited that we have no tech niques of social change,” Dr. Harold F. Aldcrfor stated. He pointed out that the division of opinion on the topic of discussion was as to wheth er or not planned changes are pos sible. “To say that only a few can plan for the vest of us is to impute that the rest of us are brainless,” he said. Charles S. Wyand, presenting the sociologist’s viewpoint, averred that there is no such thing us a technique of social change. He divided social changes into those that are purely accidental and ones for which a “cry ing need” arises. “When you have human nature to deal with, you must use force,” he said. “There is no technique which would work at all times in all coun tries.” Repudiating Dr. Hartmann’s reference to him as "the cynic on my right”, he laughingly dubbed himself a “philosophical anarchist.” “There is no technique of social (Continued on ymyc three) Praisedsby Critics JournaFfPraises Thespians’ Show Praising the work of the Thespians in presenting “My’ Stars,” the thirty seventh annual production of the club before a Philipsburg audience, the Philipsburg Duily-joiintul said: “Bill Edwards, as Fluffy, Fiske, the suc cessful substitute iafter two years of bench warming/ was the distinct hit of the evening. £/•; “Bill Morrison, t)ie'malc leud, play ed by Don Miss Francos Christine and Miss,;.Grncc Baer, co starring in tluf'Tcmalo leads, lent spark and color'to' 1 -the production. “The productioti/isponsorcd by the Junior State Hospital/ was 'one of the best of its type over produced on the Row land stage and wasoaccorded an over whelming word oration by the audi ence.” : v John M.

Smith, College Comptroller, is approved. Mr. Smith will submit the plan to the Board of Trustees for sanction when they meet on June 9. Negotiations are being conducted with authorities of the local pool- to have it reserved three days each week for students. A complete revision in the physical education classes is con templated. Two-hour Classes Planned Freshmen will spend two hours a week during the fall and spring months in swimming classes, while tho third hour will be outdoor or gymnasium work, thus supplanting the hour lecture period. This latter will be held during the winter months, when the weather is not conducive to ; other sports. Freshmen women students will spend one hour a week in swimming, while sophomore men and women will have their schedule arranged in the same way. The pool will be reserved three days a week from 8 until 4 o’- clock for students. One day will- be for women, while two will be for men. From 4 until 6 o’clock any student may swim free of charge. Archery to be Introduced The swimming classes will be divid ed into two groups—those who can not swim or who are not very profi cient at the sport, and the advanced swimmers. The first group will he will be given instructions in life sav ing and will take pari in water sports. This work will be continued in the sophomore year. Two other changes are being con sidcrcd’in the physical education cur riculum. Rugby will replace touch football in the men’s classes, giving more a chance to be in action at once.

Musical Comedies in More Demand Than Melodramas, Romances, Shorts Choosing pictures for Lhe local the atres is like selecting the gowns for the spring fashion show. one never knows what will go over. Rut in practically all eases, if it is a mu sical- comedy, it Is certain to draw a large crowd, according to George P. Plank, manager of the local mo tion picture theatres. I "Such pictures as ‘Twenty Million Sweethearts,’ ‘Wonder Bar,’ and ‘Flying Down To Itio’ bring com paratively excellent results here,” he said, “whereas rcsulLs throughout the country as a whole, although suc cessful, do not nearly approach those here.” Whether the average studenf is afraid of sentiment or whether he is merely afraid of being called effem inate is a debatable question, but high class romance is not included in the list of pictures which he en joys, according to the manager. “Tenderly beautiful pictures such as ‘Smiling Thru,’ ‘Only Yesterday,’ and ‘Beloved’ were relative failures here us contrasted with the country at large, where they not only successful but sensationally so,” Mr. Plank disclosed. “Even ‘Little Worn Kinsloe, Beman, Cohen Win Presidential Posts Poppies from Flanders Fields Cultivated Here With poppies from Flanders Fields growing in his back yard, Richard If.

The mayor of a French village near the battlefield sent four pounds of seed to this country recently in response to a soldier’s request. This spring Mr. Sudds planted a small portion of this seed in his garden. WATSON ’35 NAMED NEW ‘BELL 1 EDITOR Really ’35 Elected Managing Editor; Hammonds ’35 Chosen Manager James B.

The audiences were made up largely of town ami country people,” he added. Pictures adapted from famous mov ies such as ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and ‘Arrowsmitli’ are slightly more successful here than in other towns hut more because of faculty and resi lient response than because, of stu dent attendance. On the whole mu sical comedy and straight comedy are the best drawing cards for students, Mr. Plank believes. “Melodramas must be almost flaw less to receive student appreciation, and generally speaking, they are not nearly so successful here as through out the country at large," he added. In regard to added attractions Mr. Planck said, “there is an amazing lack of appreciation of the news reel on the part of the general student body. Short comedies arc not nearly as popular here as is generally the case, with the exception of the car toon comedy, which is probably the most popular of all short subjects.” Mr. Planck believes.

Boyd Kdwards, headmaster of Merecrsburg Academy, yesterday in his chapel discourse on saints and their activities in “Judging the World.” His address marked the Inst of the season’s regularly scheduled chapel services. Tlie first method of judging the world, according to Dr. Kdwards, is that of the court, with a judge there lo personify the will of the people, an incarnation of all those qualities of fair play, high-mindedness, and virtue, that the wrong-doer may know himself adjudged. "Then there are conches, active ami inactive, grandstand am! others,” Dr. Kdwards said, in developing the sec ond method of judgment. "We need men whose spirit sets the pace by precept and example, those who say ‘come,’ not ‘go.’ ” College was listed by the headmas ter as tlie other method of testing the world, citing the opportunity giv en to Booker T. Washington,- who gave little promise at first, hut who amply justilied the faith of the col lege president who observed how well he made use of his opportunity. 4 PATIENTS ENTER INFRMARY DURING WEEK, 5 DISCHARGED Four students were udmilted to the College' infirmary last week, all hut one of them being discharged dur ing the week.
