Speech Clinic Aids
288 in Overcoming
Serious Handicaps
Reputed to be the only clinic of its
kind in America, the speech clinic
conducted by the College under the
direction of Herbert Koepp-Baker, in
structor in Public Speaking, has as
sisted 288 persons to overcome serious
speech defects during the three years
of its existence.
The work was started in 1929 by
Prof. John H. Frizzell, head of the
division of public speaking, and the
following year it was taken over by
Koepp-Baker. He organized the
clinic -in addition to his regular teach
ing duties and during the school term
twenty-nine students were admitted
to the clinic, with a total of 167 treat
ments given.
The public speaking instructor con
tinued the work during the summer,
conducting four clinics at Bellefonte.
,Thc following summer the clinics
were conducted at Philipsburg, and
last year they were held in State Col
lege.
For the past three years diagnostic
tests have been given to all fresh
men upon entering the College and re
ports .show that nearly eight percent
of those examined were suffering
from some defect in speech. A total
of 1,588 treatments have been given
and in many cases the patient has ben
able to give public recitals following
the treatment.

After Competition
Student athletic managers at Penn
State are elected under a competitive
system whereby candidates begin
their quests for the managerships in
their freshman or sophomore years
and gradually advance to positions of
greater responsibility.
Football offers the opportunity for
a new student to begin his campaign
or a sport managership. Early in the
Fall a call is issued for efreshmen
“third assistant” managers and those
who enter the competition are put
to work taking care of football equip
ment and performing many'duties on
the. gridiron and in the gymnasium.
In this manner freshmep are given an
opportunity to make early acquaint
ances with a large number of stu
dents.
After football season the freshmen
who have remained in the competition
are officially' known as “second as
sitsants” managers. They are re
quested to report during the next
football season about a week before
practice begins. During their second
year as assistant managers they per
form duties entailing greater respon
sibility.
Elected From I Firsts’
At the end of his second season,
three of the surviving group are
elected “first assistant” managers;
They are elected by the football man
ager, football captain, football coach,
graduate manager of athletics, and
the president of, the Athletic Asso
ciation largely through the recom
mendations of the three out-going
“first assistant” managers.
The “first assistants” usually make
a majority of the football trips and
are placed in charge of most of the
arrangements. They supervise the
work of the “secon.ds” and “thirds.”
At the end of the season the foot
ball manager is elected from the three
“firsts” in practically the same man
ner as the “first assistants” were
chosen. The two candidates other
than the newly elected manager be
comes freshman manager and asso
ciate manager, according to the num
ber of votes that they receive.
Other sport managerships at Penn
State are gained in practically the
same way except that candidates do
not “turn out” until their sophomore
year in some competitions, ’tyhen
such a proceedure is folded, the
candidate then becomes
a "second assistant.”.
A sport manager receives a letter
award, while the two other'“firsts”
receive minor awards. .When a can
didate is elected to a “first-assisttant”
position he is declared el
igible for Blue Key, junior*class hon
orary hat society"JwHilcTtKenhonagers
of the most important sports often
receive membership in the senior
honor societies. ' , ’•
Orators Compete in
54 Major Contests
With fifty-four major intercollegi
ate contests during the season, last
year’s varsity debating teams addres
sed more than 4,350 people while
traveling more than 7,300 miles.
Three radio debates were included -in
the schedule, which was the most ex
tensive ever undertaken at Penn
State.
Competing against, representatives
from twelve other colleges in the an
nual Delta Sigma Rho tournament at
the University of Pittsburgh, Penn
State debaters won a first place in
the after-dinner speaking contest and
second places in both the other two
events —public discussion and team
debates.
Twenty-five men comprised the
men’s team, which was coached by
Prof. Joseph F. O’Brien, of the pub
lic speaking department. The wom
en’s team of twenty-two members,
which was coached by Prof. Clayton
'H. Shug, had a schedule of eight in
tercollegiate contests. Activities and
policies were supervised and directed
by Prof. John Henry Frizzell, head
of the department of public speaking,
Glee Clubs Provide
Student Music Work
Allow Freshman Participation After Try-Outs
In Falll—Bands, Orchestras Constitute
Instrumental Organization
Possessing vocal and instrumental
organizations which have attained
favorable recognition through eastern
United States, Penn State affords stu
dents opportunity for varied extra
curricular activity in musical en
deavors.
Organized in 1902, the men’s vocal
group became affiliated with the In
tercollegiate Glee club in 1914 and
since that time has grown rapidly.
The Glee club has won the champion
ship of the Pennsylvania association
six times in seven years, having lost
to Lafayette in 1929 by the narrow
margin of four-tenths of a point. In
the national tournament held at St.
Louis in 1931, the gleemen secured a
third place. Under the leadership of
Richard W. Grant, director of the de
partment of music, the club consisted
of forty-nine students last ycai*.
With tryouts taking place early in
October, the men’s group affords an
opportunity for first-year men to take
part in the activity from the begin
ning of their collegiate careers. In
last year’s organization there were
nine freshmen, seven sophomores,
nineteen juniors, and fourteen seniors.
This distribution has been given to
show the opportunity for freshmen
participation rather than any distri
bution which holds from year to year.
Whether the freshman class has nine
members in the Glee club this year
depends entirely on the talent shown
in the fall tryouts.
In addition to the advantages of
training given to members of the Glee
club, the organization makes several
appearances before college and State
wide audiences throughout the sea
son. Competition in intercollegiate
contests is also part of the Glee club
program.
Selected by competition from the
upperclassmen in the Glee club, a
varsity Male Quartet is chosen an
nually. This group has attained popu
larity for its light, semi-popular, hu
morous type of singing. In addition to
supplementing regular Glee club per
formances, the quartet appears at
smokers and social gathrings. j
Similar opportunities for vocal
work .present themselves for women
at Penn State. Both a Glee club and
a quartet are organized early in the
year on a competitive basis. Usual
ly consisting of fifty members, the
women’s group sponsors the produc
tion of quality vocal.music and makes
at’least one' public appearance, usual
ly in the form of a mid-winter con
cert. The quartet is chosen from the
regular ranks and makes appearances
with the club and at special functions.
A choir, composed of men'and women
Glee club members, furnishes music
for the Sunday chapel exercises.
Instrumental Work
Band work for freshman is confin
ed to 'the military organizations
which play at the Monday afternoon
reviews. First-year men are selected
by competition and are excused from
all other R. 0. T. C. work. Two nights
a week are chosen for rehearsal. The
freshman group remains intact thr
oughout the first two years in Col
lege, but in the junior and senior
years members of the Blue Band are
recruited from its ranks.
Consisting of seventy-five pieces,
the Blue Band is the paramount mus-
3 Off Campus Branch
Schools Established
Three off-campus undergraduate
centers have been established by the
College at Uniontown, Pottsvillc and
;Hazelton to provide limited college
facilities for those high school- gradu
ates who are unable to attend col
lege.
The three communities were select
ed for the experiment after surveys
by the College indicated that the
neds of these areas could be met in
no other way. President Ralph D.i
Hetzel said a total of 14 invitations
were received from locnl communities
for the establishment of these off
campus schools.
The three schools will be regarded
as temporary expedients and plans
now embrace only a single year’s op
eration after which students may
transfer here or to some other col
lege. The plan originated with the
Association of College Presidents in
their efforts to find a means of en
abling high school graduates finan
cially unable to go to college to con
tinue their education.
“These off-campus schools are ready
to render an educational service, but
in cooperation with other colleges and
without any thought of competing
with them,” Dr. Hetzel said. “Pros
pective students should realize that,
from many standpoints, it is better
to go to an established college.”
A Healthful Recreation
DUX CLUB
ical unit of the College. It appears
at all home football games and at
many of those played away. Con
certs and appearances at athletic
events complete its program. Under
the able direction of Bandmaster Wil
fred 0. Thompson, the Blue Band is
made possible through financial aid
given by the Athletic association, the
School of Physical Education, and the
department of military science and
tactics.
