EXPLANATION
Faculty members and students alike have long
been annoyed by the petty observance of detail that is
maintained by those working under the head of the
Grounds and Buildings department. One example of
this slavish devotion to red-tape is of interest as the
explanation for a large white space on the sports page
of today’s issue of this paper.
Official orders had gone out from the office of de-
partmental cliief George W. Ebert that students would
not he allowed in the new West Stands during Satur-
day’s freshman game, as they were being painted.
Three people violated that rule. Noticing that a swarm
of workmen were wandering vaguely about the new
structure, and that the press box was not being paint-
ed. the publicity department reporter, his telegrapher,
and the Collegian football writer went there to work.
Early in the second half they were peremptorily
ordered out by a campus patrolman, who stated that
Mr. Ebert's orders were to allow no one in the stands.
The newspapermen stopped their work to argue the
telegrapher got his way. Then the publicity depart-
ment man won his point. The student writer, however,
was less fortunate. He was thrown out.
There’s a nice big white space on the sports page
today. It’s where the freshman football write-up
should be. Until representatives of this paper receive
at least a modicum of consideration from officious mem-
bers of the janitorial force, there just won’t'be any re-
ports on games played on New Beaver field.
IN A SINCERE EFFORT to make the Artists
Course this year as successful and as interesting as last
year, the committee in charge of selecting attractions
has requested the cooperation of the Collegian and the
student body in choosing artists. Elsewhere in this is-
sue is a ballot, which they ask you to clip and turn in
at the Student Union desk before 7 o’clock tomorrow
night. On the ballot are listed suggestions, five of
which may be checked, or five new suggestions may be
written on, just as the individual prefers. The com-
mittee asks for a large scale vote in order to best serve
the interests of the student body as a whole. Is it
too much to ask?
Yi OF 1 PERCENT
Members of the Penn State Christian Association
will this week solicit students for support towards the
continuation of the organization’s work this year. They
ask for $3,000 from students, for $l,OOO from faculty
In their booklet, appropriately enough entitled,
“Tlic P.S.C.A. Deserves Your Support,” the finance
committee has outlined thirty reasons for their conten
tion. Many of the items are familiar to Penn State
students:—fireside sessions, open forums, employment
bureau, the Handbook, fraternity pledge dinner but
others will be a surprise.
The Association, in its prospectus, points out that,
even with a limited expenditure of $6OO for a college
year, the $2.50 asked for the issuance of a membership
card is one-half of one percent of the total. It is ob
vious to note here that this is a small, although not
by any moans a trivial amount, a sum which the Asso
ciation justifiably feels is well within the means of
every student.
“When we realize that this Association is organ
ized to aid nil students, to make our campus life
friendlier and finer, to help the individual student in
his religious life, wc should all want to have a part in
the work and to support it>—” the words are President
Hetzel’s. The thought is one which even those on this
campus who do not entirely agree with the letter of
P.S.C.A. work must admit.
Dorm have been drifting past these non-too-observ-
ant ears for quite some little time now. and finally the
very strength of numbers demanded an investigation.
For a couple of days we tried to get someone to look
into things, but without notable success." So, like the
boy in the grammar school ‘You-Can-Be-Presidcnt’
books, we did it ourselves. Brace yourselves the
findings of the research department are about to be
made public.
1. Grange Dorm has a. new chaperone, a dis
tinctive one, one with ideas. The latest quotations
have it that she hails from East Stroudsburg State
Teachers College (Deah ole Stroudsburg) where she
held down the office of Dean of Women, or some
thing. To her friends (we haven’t located any of
them yet) she is known as. Caroline; to the multi
tude of cowering co-eds under her, simply and
straight forwardly as Miss Dyson.
2. Freshman women now know now to sneer
at the boorish advances made by fraternity men,
thanks to the intuitive ability of Miss Dyson. (Or
Caroline, if you pi'efer.) At a meeting for their
benefit/ she outlined the evils of going upstairs to look
at real hand-painted art work, and so forth, until
now the poor dear little innocents are about as male
able as a sizeable chunk of Pottsvillc anthracite.
..Harry B. Henderson jr. '3C
3. Ladies who have arranged engagements,
(some vulgar people call them ‘dates’) now have :v
new system. Gone is the days of yelling-upstaira
ism and of vain attempts to get the third floor on
the creaky phone. Now the girl who’s expecting
‘callers’ is expected to sit in the ‘lobby’ reading a
good ‘book’ (yeah, they've got one there, just for the
purpose) until' the ‘swain’ arrives, clad in his best
suit of armor.
4. Upperclass ‘gilds’ with the evening, or a few
minutes to spare, are supposed to hang around down
stairs and ‘entertain’ guys who are waiting for dolls.
(There are some mighty embarrassing situations that
can arise from that, my good woman. —Ed. Note.) •
6. The local ‘pie man’ is getting robbed of his
nights’ pajama-clad pageant. It’s immodest, it seejns,
for the ‘girls’ to go order hamburgs while clad only
in sleeping apparel. (We never had heard of the cus
tom. Ah, if we only had in the ‘good old days.’)
Coats are to be worn now, at least coats.
7. People like Boots Carroll, who recently
dashed over to Grange for a quick shower (upon dis
covering that the Theta Phi Alpha hot water supply
was non-existent) are foiled. They either take baths
at home, or join the great unwashed. Grange is no
place for carryings on like quick showers, etc.
8. Smoking. Ohhhhhhhh! ! ! !
Miss Caroline (we feci as if we almost know her,
by now) has our whole hearted support in one mat
ter,- though. She thinks the women should study
a lot more.
One of this sheet’s sports aces went to the
Temple-West .Virginia night fray (How we doin’,
F. W. W.?) the other night and got a lot of sugges
tions as to how the game ought to he played. The
nice feature, he says, was the rendition of ‘Love in
Bloom,’ by the gigantic Temple Military Band, during
the half. They’re pretty good, he says.
******
About Town & Campus: Prof. X had a sudden, un
fortunate immersion while strolling about the Sewage
Disposal Plant the other day. (We withhold his
monicker .on account of humanitarian principles . . .
Ruth Evans ’37, who tells the Mac Hall- freshman
women when to jinswer the phone, etc., forgot to
post the list Sunday night. She had just loads of fun
answering every horn in the building all evening . . .

Religion Approaching
Test, Avers Beaven
In Address at Chapel
“Within the next 75 years religion
will come to a test where it will Eith
er be doomed or will rise to greater
heights than it has ever attained be
fore,” Dr. Albert W. Beaven, presi
dent of the Colgate-Rochester Divin
ity school, prophesied in his chapel
address in Schwab auditorium Sun
day morning.
Dr. Beaven bases his belief upon
the things he has seen in studying
the religious trends in many coun
tries today. He pointed out the ap
parent failure of the church in Rus
sia; the religious revolution in Ger
many; and the new ideas t»f religion
being formed in Mexico; as definite
indications of an approaching crisis.
“Don’t keep religion simply because
we have always had it,” Dr. Beaven
warned, “but study it apd thereby
you will learn that it is indispensable
for the advancement of mankind, and
thus appreciate the real task that it
is doing for you.”
In conclusion Dr. Beaven appealed
to the student body, and to the in
telligent class of people, “to think
their way out.” It is his firm belief
that by sane and intelligent consid
eration, the crisis can safely be pass
ed.
Dr. Beaven has appeared before
the student body here on several oc
casions in the past few years. He
was the mid-year commencement
speaker in 1932 and gave the bacca
laureate sermon in June, 1933.

Editor of the Collegian
As a junior in college I am begin
ning to realize that I’ve been taking
many things about the school for
granted. The advent of the P.S.C.A.
drive for funds- has made me wonder
how many have been doing just that
with the Christian Association. How
many students realize the ideftyiite
contributions it makes to our school
life, and the services it renders?
The P.S.C.A. makes it possible for
us to hoar men like Dr. Bruce Curry,
Dr. Crane, “Bill” Wood, and many
others; it gives us our Student Hand
books; - sponsors the Fireside Ses
sions; helps us to find employment;
and promotes numerous other worth
while projects. In fact,-the Associa
tion is decidedly a part of Penn
State.
The effectiveness of the P.S.C.A.
depends upon and deserves student
support. Let’s. show real Penn State
spirit, and put The Association over
for another year.

To the Editor:
The performance of the. Blue Band
and the ovations they so justly re
ceive lead - me to reflect upon the mat
ter of cheering.* Two-thirds of our
football show is* running smoothly—
we have the best team in recent years
and a band that is second to none.
But where is our cheering?
I believe that we can have a cheer
ing student body only by putting on
a good show and by placing a pre
mium on good cheering. I propose
five things which, I believe, would
go far towards banishing football
games, during which the spectators
on the top row can hear the signals
being'-called. [ -
.I. The old lion skin the cheerlead
ers used to cavort In is worn out.
Why can’t Penn State have a mas
cot? Another lion skin would im
measurably enhance Mr. Edwards’
dramatic possibilities. We might
even have a real Nittany Lion —they
are not scarce “and would certainly
not cost much to ; keep. ,
11. ,There should be four cheering
sections of one hundred real rooters
—two in each stand. (A real rooter
is one who goes home from games
hoarse.) Real cheering could then
be continuously ibe supplied. . A bus
load of the most- effective of these
chcerers might accompany the team
on trips and this .would certainly bol
ster the team's spirits when battling
on foreign turf.-'
111. Two or three short “fight”
cheers should be introduced; “The
Lion” is a step]‘in the right direc
tion. Out of a repertoire of eight
cheers, three are never used; the “Lo
comotive" does not lend itself to fre-|
quent usage; “The Lion” is being done
to death, as is the “Short” yell while
the “College” and “New” yells seem
headed for similar fates.
IV. At prep school we used to yell
every time an individual distinguish
ed himself. Are we college men too
sophisticated to do likewise?
V. I find it hard to cheer for a
leader who doesn’t - even get hoarse.
Our leaders, with the • exception. of
the other senior, seem to be reserving
their efforts for Junior Prom.

the Association, while funds given by
the faculty, College, parents and
friends go to pay the salaries of the
secretaries and general overhead ex
penses. In this manner, the student
is assured of a direct benefit for his
contribution.
Albert '3s is serving as
student co-chairman for the second
year in succession, with Katherine
B. Humphrey ’35 as the other co
chairman. Dr. James F. Shigley, of
the animal husbandry department, is
