Tuesday, October 23, 1934 NEW STRINGS ON AN OLD HARP Lean back in your yellow pine chair, Colonel Ven able. Rest yourself from your labors of figuring out new routes up McCaskey Hill. Prop your feet up on your desk and take it easy. This Supreme Court busi ness isn’t going to amount to anything. A little campus talk, an edit or two in the Collegian, a letter in the ‘Letter Box’, and things will settle down. • Light a cigarette, Colonel Venable, and take a deep drag. Nobody’s going to bother your nice R.O.T.C. dept. Your 1200 freshmen and sophomores will keep on marching on Holmes Field Monday afternoon. Your ‘faculty member’ officers won’t have to go out into the cruel, hard world of Army camps. Everything will set tle down. The Supreme Court of the country will make a decision, but it won’t mean anything. The decision has been made before. Nobody did anything about it then. Nobody will do anything about it now. Don’t bother reading the city papers, Colonel Ven able. They only carry uninteresting stories about two kids from California who thought they could outwit their college officials by carrying their anti-R.O.T.C. fight to court. They took it pretty far, didn’t they? But it doesn’t matter, nothing will happen here. Stu . dents will still come up for an education and spend three hours a week of it in greenish-khaki, learning to turn around. Upperclassmen will still spit when your nice smooth-shaven advanced officers go- jingling by. But it won’t bother you. Nothing of importance will happen. You won’t answer questions about this Supreme Court trial business, will you, Colonel Venable? No, why should you? It doesn’t affect your racket in any way. Certainly not. The federal status of compulsory R.O.T.C. in the land-grant colleges doesn’t bother you, does it? Of course not—something that doesn't exist is nothing to worry over. Here, have another cigarette,- it’s really nice weather for a colorful parade this after noon isn’t it, Colonel Venable? Sure, you know as well as anyone that the Morrill Land-Grant mentioned only that ‘land-grant colleges must offer courses in Military Science and Tactics’, don’t you Colonel? You know even better than does the student in uniform that the State, in accepting the grant, declared that it would offer certain courses, ‘not excepting military science.’ You know that, don’t yon Colonel? You know, too, that Wisconsin and Minnesota, both land-grant colleges, have eliminated the compul sory status —and that their federal subsidy wasn’t af fected. You well realize that this College, merely by the action of its Board of Trustees, could do likewise. But why worry? They won’t. Students get kind of sore at the R.O.T.C. sometimes, don’t they Colonel? You've even known fellows who flatly refused to take it. You handled them, all right, didn't you, Colonel? You didn’t fool around. Why should you—the Trustees would back you up. They wouldn’t desert you! Lean back in your yellow pine chair, Colonel Ven able, and prop your feet up on your highly polished desk. The Supreme Court may say something one way or the other—that’s o.k.—former Attorney General Mit chell said what they are likely to say when he was in office. Nobody paid much attention to it. It’s 0.k., no body wiH pay much attention to this. The students will forget all about it. The freshmen and sophomores will keep on marching and cursing, The upperclassmen will keep on cherishing memories of miserable hours in khaki. But it’s o.k. The Trustees won’t do anything. Lean back in your yellow pine chair, Colonel Ven able! Everything’s going to be perfectly 0.k.! PETTY THIEVERY OF MAGAZINES from Student Union racks in the first floor lounge of Old Main goes on and on and on. Members of the Union have about come to the conclusion that only one answer to the pro blem of keeping magazines, especially the nickel week lies, available to all exists—flocking them up, to be taken out only by signing for them. This would be, to say the least, a nusiance, both to those in charge, and to readers. The only other 'solution depends upon the ability of'students to refrain from ’accidentally’ carry ing them home. That seems the logical way, but per haps we’re wrong. A nickel, in these days, is quite a sum. ‘Modern Movie* magazine while we checked the form and style. Some of the numbers were pretty tasty but the best item was found in the contest letter depart- ment riding over a familiar name. Like this $1 PRIZE LETTER Partial to Marshall “I’ve been very partial To Herbert Marshall But if his bosses don’t soon break down and allow him to be flippant They’ll find to their sorrow his drawing power’s slippaiit. It’s all very swell to have him involved with tragic, oversexed heroines maybe twice Except that it would be more refreshing to have Lubitsch direct him again in something like ‘Trouble In Paradise’— Which may have seemed naughty but was really nice.” Margaret Tschan, State College, Pa.

Note: Ttys is the first of a series of articles on what happens to the library book you put the reserve on last month. It is not by Mr. Lewis.) Culture has always been a problem in Grange Dorm—that’s so authentic it’s bromidic. But steps have been eliminated. The Grange co-eds, anti-pedes- trians for years, have had the library brought to them by Mr. Lewis who admits that he has 150,000 times and wants to know why the hell shouldn’t he send some of them to Grange, including the other copy of that late number you’ve been trying to get you claws on? It’s a good, Christian idea, Mr. Lewis, and we’re forced to admit that you’ve got terrific faith in humanity ****** ADD Proselytizing OR FROM BOOKS to Bathtubs want to do something really valuable, why not a movement for bathtubs for the Theta Phi Alphas who have been scrubbing themselves at Grange? ESOTERICA—There’s a red-headed nurse at the Delta Chi house who curls Bonnell’s hair among other things—Billy Bowman forsaking the Phi Eps for a trip to the Venetian-Gardens at Altoona with a Pi Kappa Phi—Bertolette daffy about ping-pong— Shirley Helms shows the best legs of the Thespian chorines—about five of them should- be taken aside and told how much fun debating is—Current Quota- tion: I always hold that people are funnier than any thing—Ellen Roberts—lsadora Duncan' and Dizzy Dean—say it slowly and think of the word ‘damn’— Who said there was any point? CAMPUSEER BY HIMSELF 1 THEY ALL WRITE LETTERS Over a burger and beer we paged through the If persons interested in advancing humanity * * * * . * * A man who has been smoking Granger for a long time said this: "A package of Granger gives me and my old pipe about 9 hours of enjoyment. "My pipe is about average size, and smoking it leisurely as l like to do, a pipeload of Granger lasts me about 25 minutes, and that means that I get about 21 good pipeloads from every package. " Was there ever so much enjoy ment for so small a cost?” © 1934, Zjccrt * Umi Tobacco Co. THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN Been Around? Join Embryonic Club of Foreign Travelers Globe-trotters Unite! That is the motto of a new club being organized here for students and faculty who have traveled over 1,- 000 miles, outside of the United States. Two meetings have already been held, and a charter has been applied for. Similar organizations exist at scores of other American colleges.

I The Corner .! ' unusual The primary motive of this club was that students affected by wanderlust might meet and swap yarns of their travels. After it has become better organized it is planned to have speak* ers who have had wide traveling ex perience. Officers elected are B. Lynette Pease '37, president; Wright A. Dutcher ’37, vice-president; and Spencer Potter ’3B, secretary. Both of the meetings to date, have been held in the apartment of Melvin J. Fox '35. All eligible persons who wish to join should report to one of the officers, or to Arthur R. War nock, Dean of Men. Alumni To Breakfast P.S.C.A. will- hold the first annual Alumni breakfast Sunday morning, November 4, at 9:30 o’clock in the Old Main Sandwich shop. The com mittee in charge of the function is composed of Dean Ralph L. Watts, Harry W. Seamans, Claire M. Lichty '35, and Robert K. Paxton ’35. You speak into the telephone. Your voice, your personality, part of you is projected far and wide. In effect yon are in two places and times at once— evening in New York, afternoon in San Francisco. Or you’re in Washington today and in Sydney, Australia tomorrow—at one and the same time! The telephone’s power to put a person where he wants to he—at the psychological moment—proves tremendously valuable. In domestic and foreign business, in national and international affairs, in friendly social contacts, it permits.a quick inter change of ideas and im mediate understanding. BELL TELEPHONE SYSTEM Friday, October 26, 1934 Here’s an idea for homesick fresh men: a student at Lafayette College last year had his own airplane, which he kept at the Easton airport, to use in travelling to and from his home.
