This is only--$309 short of the goal of $4,- 000 and 'since the faculty drive will not close until Saturday, the goal will undoubtedly be reached. The women students exceeded their goal, of $6OO, turning in $7Ol. The: men ; students have nearly • reached their aim of $2,400, their contribu tions totaling $2,373. The faculty di vision raised $617, with $383 to go to reach their quota of $l,OOO. Day. by Day Reports Day by day charts reveal that the three divisions- had turned in $813.75 Tuesday, $1,042.48 on Wednesday, $640.75 additional'by Thursday night, and $691.50 on Friday night Lester M. Benjamin '37 led the men’s division leaders, reporting con tributions of $207, while John B.Bott *36 was second with $166.50. In the women's division, Geraldine E. Bro berg ’35 led, reporting collections of $144.25, with Elizabeth R. Oberlin ’37 next with $112.25. Borland’s Team Leads The faculty division, which has planned an intensive campaign for the remainder of the week, has been led so far by the team headed by Prof. Andrew A. Borland, of the dairy husbandly department. His team has collected over $l4B. Albert E. Diem '35 was chairman of the men’s division, while Katherine B. Humphrey '35 served as chairmen on the women's drive. Dr. James F. Shig bandry, was chairman of . the facuity, campaign. Horst Cites Fanning Advantages of Today Referring to the favorable position of the Pennsylvania farmer in rela tionship to markets, Miles Horst, graduate • of the ' College, told the freshmen in the School of Agricul ture in a recent talk that Pennsyl vania is a land of opportunity for the young former., Horst cited examples of young men who started farming within the last few years and already have met with success. “Do not be afraid to get into an industry when times are hard,” he said, “but know everything you can do about the job you have •to do.” It pays to have a purpose in go ing to .college, Horst emphasized, and theft work hard after getting there. He called, attention to the fact that comparison of students’ records with the degree of success after gradua tion reveals surprising similarity. Stressing the valued of technical training for the future Horst .also urged the freshmen to study 'economics, sociology, and his tory. Fie advised the freshmen to learn, to speak and write effective ly. TraVcT also’ helps to round out education, he declared, and knowledge of conditions in other countries helps one in his own business or calling. - Thespians, Men’s Gleei To Produce “Bargi Rehearsals for the fall production of the Penn State Thespians, “Bar gin’ Around,” to be produced Satur day night of Houseparty, November 17, got under way as J. Ewing “Sock” Kennedy, , Thespian director, com pleted eliminations for the chorus of the revue. “Bargin’ Around,” a full length revue, will be produced by the Thes pians in collaboration with the Men’s Glee club and will contain six scenes with elaborate settings and numerous skits. A modernistic interpretation of old Gotham at night will- furnish the background for a scene repeated from “Old King Cole” which was produced here two years. Helen E. “Hot-cha” Taylor ’35 and William B. Edwards ’35. will sing, “Won’t You Be My Valentine?”, the number that “Dot” Johnston ’32 and Ed Maimed '32 made famous in that show. A scene that might give E. Simms Campbell, whose harem drawings are regular features in Esquire, a few in spirations will be the Thespians’ in terpretation of a harem. This scene Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, ‘Green Pastures’ Lead in Poll Two-thirds Faculty Members, Students Mention Musical Group, Play as One of 5 Choices in Artists’ Course Cleveland Symphony Orchestra and' "Green Pastures” were voted as the two numbers which students and fac ulty members would like most to see included on the 1934-35 Artists’ Course in a poll conducted by the Collegian and the College Publicity department which ended Saturday. Persons filling out ballots were asked to check the five most desir able numbers listed and voting was not preferential. 900 Students Ballot Of approximately 000 students •whose choice of five numbers for the course was recorded by individual bal lot and by group ballot at fraternity houses and dormitories, sixty-two percent included the play on their ballots and fifty-four percent voted for a return this year of the orches tra.

Fuel experts have insisted that there is no difference, but tests here, under the direction of Prof. Harold A. Everett; head of the department of mechanical engineering,, prove that there is. Results of the exhaustive investi gation carried on here show that the difference in engine wear varies as much as fifty percent,, according to the kind of oil used in the crank case. The. tests demonstrated that the oils which arc consumed the fastest, in volve the most wear to the motor; and that at least once a cylinder was scored because the oil failed to lubri cate correctly. It was found that there wa3 a little breath, of iron dust in the exhaust fumes' of every car and that there is a small taint of iron in every drop of .crank case oik The mechanical en. gineering department now perfect ed a method of measuring this tiny trinklc, and thus answer the question that has long puzzled all motorists. In making the test, four engines, running at a speed of sixty 'miles per hour, were used. They were driven for an equivalent of a ninety mile drive and then the four different brands of oil used were taken from the crank case and analyzed for iron content. Prof. Frederick C. Stewart, of the department of mechanical engineer ing, assisted in making the tests. Panhellenic Will Vote On New Pledge Rule ’ Because the women's fraternities feel that a year is too long to wait before rcpledging a woman student to another fraternity, Panhellenic Council will vote tomorrow night on a proposed change of this National Panhellenic Council rule. The proposed rule is: “The sign ing of the preferential slip shall be binding as a pledge-to the extent that any woman shall be considered inel igible for one semester for a bid from any other fraternity. “Any woman who has broken her pledge or has had her pledge broken shall not be asked to join another fra ternity until the following semester with the understanding that four months shall have elapsed from the date that she breaks her ; pledge,” the rule concludes. 1,000 Alumni. Expected For Saturday’s Game More than 1,000, alumni are ex pected to return this week-end for the fifteenth Annual homecoming celebration. A'full program of events, featured by the Syracuse- Penn State grid.tilt, is planned for the visitors. Edward K. -Hibshman, Alumni secretary, dcclared'that he was op timistic. this yeaivabout the num ber of alumni returning, since the rejuvenated Nittany Lion football team will be a bjjj drawing card.

Extension Classmen Emulate Penn State Spirit in Home Town Non-Resident Students Receive News, Scores, Write-Ups From Alma Mater One hundred and fifty undergradu ate students at. Hazleton, Pottsvillc, Sayre, Towanda, and Uniontown waited as avidly as the most habitual Corner Roomer for ,- the quarterly scores and write-up in the papers be-, cause Penn State is their college. While probably never having been bn the campus, these students at branch centers await the day when, as juniors, they will see green dinks topping yearling skulls and witness the R.O.T.C. brownahirts take Mc- Caskey hill; when they, can forget their troubles at a fall houseparty, date beautiful blonde co-eds with rak ish roadsters. Instruction is similar in quantity and quality to that here. A bluebook is only a bl-ucbook, but a minus two is a minus two. Christmas and other recesses come at the. same time and the term ends on the same date in June as here. The undergraduate centers were es tablished because of the increasing number of high school graduates who want college instruction but are un able to leave home mainly because of financial reasons. David B. Pugh is supervisor of the extension centers. Three years from now the students will he juniors on the campus. But in the meantime they study, believing that education can, like charity, be gin at home. Among other advan tages they enjoy is exemption from R.O.T.C. Moore Talks in Warren Dr. Bruce V. Moore, of the School of Education, returned Saturday a£- : ternoon from Warren where he spoke to the Warren County Teacher’s In stitute on the relationship between education and changing, ideas of psy chology as applied to the schools. Burgener Resigns Post Dr. A. W. Waldo, of West Newton, Mass., has been appointed to fill the vacancy of mincralology research as sistant cuuscd by the resignation of Glen Burgener from the School of Mineral- Industries. * Mr.- Burgener will leave the staff'Thursday for the University of Utah where he expects to teach and do graduate work. Ritenour, FERA Men To Survey Boarding Houses Will Study Conditions Where 5 or More Students Live Investigation Will Take 8 Months to Complete A detailed sanitary investigation of every boarding and rooming house in the borough where five or more stu dents are living is being made by Dr. Joseph P. Ritenour, College phy sician, and* Chairman of the State College Board of Health. Dr..Rite nour will be assisted in his investi gation by six or eight FERA work ers. In the survey, each house will be recorded according to several classi fications and will receive, a scoring. The entire investigation will- take at least eight months to complete, Dr. Ritenour declared. At its completion he will make several'rccommondations to the College authorities regarding conditions under which students are living. Fines Threatened "We can’t tell people how to run a house,” Dr. Ritenour declared, "but we can tell them what kind they arc running, and whether or not they arcl complying with regulations set forth by the Board of Health. If they are not, we will advise them to make changes, or become subject to fines.” Dr. Ritenour and his committee will inspect for fire hazards; the size, ven tilation, and light of rooms; number of toilets in each house (there should be one for every twelve persons); lo cations of bed-rooms; ratio of light area to floor area; number of stu dents in each room; and various oth er'health necessities. May Inspect Fraternities Although the survey is intended primarily for boarding and rooming houses, several of the .fraternities may also be inspected, Dr. Ritenour said. If they have time, they will* inspect fraternity houses which are rented. one-half of the student-body- is living in rooming houses.. If this is the case, he will i. have 'between .four and five hundred houses to inspect. This is •■the first time a survey of this sort has been made in- State College. Horticulture Exhibit To Open Friday Night Cash prizes of $25 will be awarded to the winners of the exhibits in the annual'Horticulture Show which will open in the Dairy building at 6 o’- clock : Friday night and continue through Saturday. James W. Shearer ’35, president of the Horticulture' club, is in charge of the exhibitions. Faculty members will judge the dis plays on Saturday morning and make the awards at that time. In addi tion to the cash prizes for the best produce displays, ribbons and horti cultural products will be given to other classes. Landscape architects, home econo mics students, and vegetable garden ing students arc participating in the show. Floriculture students and members of the Crabapple club are also displaying their products as well as several alumni. Groff ’O7 To Address IRC Tonight on China George W. "Daddy” Groff 'O7 will address the International Relations club on "Chinese Nationalism” to night at 7:30 o’clock in 318 Old Main. This is the first of a series of lectures and forums to be held by the club in preparation for the third annual convention of the Inter national- Relations clubs of the Mid dle Atlantic District which- will be held here November 23 and 24. The convention' will be devoted to a study‘of "Recent Trends in Na tionalism.” Sixty-nine clubs in six states, have been invited to send dele gates.- Among the speakers will be Dr. Otto Nathan, formerly financial advisor to the German government. Emphasis, however, will be placed on student participation through round table discussions on trade relations, dictatorships, and disarmament. Bonine Submits Report To NRA Oil Committee A report by Prof. Chesleigh A. Bo nine, of the School of Mineral In dustries, was submitted last week to the congressional committee investi gating the oil industry under the NRA. Professor Boninc was called to a conference in Pittsburgh, last Mon day, and was asked to estimate the amount of oil recoverable by present production methods from the Appa lachian district.

Hartman Relates Thought Results Relation of Mind to Individual Cited by Chapel Speaker; Groff Introduced Emphasizing the fact that a per -1 son’s nature is .determined by his thoughts, the Rev. \V. Emory Hart man,' pastor of the Allison Memorial Methodist Episcopal church of Car lisle, speaking in chapel Sunday morning, explained the results of the thought of an individual upon life, self, and fellow man. Before Reverend Hartman’s ad dress, George W.; "Daddy” Groff *O7, who came here last week from Ling nan University at Canton, China, was introduced to the chapel audience by Prof. John H. Frizzell, acting Col lege chaplain. ' Professor Frizzell spoke highly of the former's work , in furthering international good-will. .

"Our own' nature is determined by what we think about other people ” ' In speaking of' the influence upon a person of thoughts about life, the speaker pointed out that we identify a person by his interests. For this reason, he continued, we can only be come interesting -people by cultivat ing activities of a highly intellectual 1 nature. "It is not the outward circum stances that victimize • a man, but rather his own inner conversation of the mind. It is in this fact that the strength of. certain ‘thought-cults’ lies, since they give to individuals a positive attitude toward life. It is ,up to each of us, therefore, to step up the level' of his own thought,” Rev erend Hartman concluded.' Institute Honors Mack Dr. Pauline Beery Mack, head of the department of textile chemistry, was recently appointed to the com mittee of' the American Society for Testing Materials, by Herbert J. Ball, of the Lowell Textile Institute. Germany Comes Back In Research Work, Aims At Goal Of Self Sufficiency, Dutcher Says "Germany is gradually coming back into its own in the field of re search work in order to achieve an ultimate goal of self-sufficiency,” said Prof. R. Adams Dutchcr, head of the department of agricultural and biological* chemistry, who recent ly returned from a six month’s sab batical leave. Professor Dutcher stayed in Gei*- many for five months, taking side trips to Paris, Vienna, Zurich, and London to observe progress being made in vitamin research and biolog ical chemistry. The university professors in Ger many, Professor Dutcher noted, are paid higher salaries than many of the outstanding men in our country. The government he said, considers the professor as important as the military general. The government al so subsidizes research work in those sciences which help solve the pres ent difficulties, he added, and it has appointed a committee called the "Notgcmeinschaft” to supervise re search and advance funds and sup plies to needy scientists. Comparing the progress of German and • American research, Professor Dutcher said, “We arc far, far ahead of the Germans in practical vitamin research, but their work in synthesis of the vitamin is the most advanced in the world. In nutrition and pub lichealth, they are twenty years bet hind us. But the* Hitler government has started the ball rolling to make up for this deficiency. Progress has been made in sterilization of the un- COMPLETE CAMPUS COVERAGE PRICE FIVE CENTS Silvano Scores in First Quarter To Place Lions Ahead Scores by Brominski, Barabas Abolish Lead By DONN SANDERS A sustained rally by Columbia, beginning late in the third quar ter tired out the Nittany Lion eleven and enabled the . New York team to push across two touchdowns and overcome the Penh State 7-point lead to win, 14-to-7, on Baker field Saturday afternoon. It was a great football day with 23,000 fans watching what almost turned out to be the jiggest upset of t?ie day. The sky was jvercast, but only a few minutes’ jght drizzle marred the tilt. Townsend Given Ovation One'oi the loudest individual- ova tions of the day was accorded Jim Townsend, the Blue Band’s drum major, who outdid himself for his best performance of the season to date. . For the first half, the game was all Penn State. The Columbia backs were smeared for losses repeatedly; they were cut-down in the midst of their interference. The Nittany line out charged the Columbia forward wall. State Scores on Pass The lone State score came in the .first frame v the result of a long pass, Mikelonis to Smith. Knapp then took the ball wide around 1-eft end to 'the 1-yard line. Silvano took it across and Mikelonis kicked the extra point. Mikelonis nursed this lead along wl.'.i his tactical work and his punting until the' last period when the boys from Morningside Heights ! once'a'galn became' the'tearirthat last year beat Stanford. Then the State defense weakened. This let-down was more noticeable in the secondary-defense than in the for ward wall. A 1 Barabas and Ed Brom inski sliced through the Blue line for substantial gains, aided by occasional passes by Tom Tomb. King Leo scored twice. With the light Blue a touchdown ahead, State' let loose a barrage of passes once again to. threaten the Coi’umbia goal line, but the march was stopped when Columbia intercepted a Nittany are. The game ended with the ball in Columbia’s possession. The line-ups: Penn State—7 Columbia—M Fry L.E. Kerrigan Weber L.T. Coviello Barth L.G .Ferrara' Cherundolo C. Ciampa Kreizman R.G.

Nevel (Continued on page three) fit' and the new athletic program has proved a success.’' In spite of their progress, the Ger mans facs a food crisis this winter, he said. They have succeeded in pro ducing enough wheat, rye, and pork, but lack sufficient green vegetables and fruit, he indicated. The chief demand this winter, Professor Dutch er believed, would be for fats. They are now working on the production of fats and oils from sunflower seeds, he said, and have already perfected a process for. converting wood into isugar. Research, as a solution to problems facing the Nazis, Professor. Dutcher said, has been chiefly carried out by young men, who have replaced the older scientists. This, he said, was due to the expulsion or resignation of many antagonists to the regime, some being Jews. “Discrimination against Jewish fac ulty members is not so widespread as we have been led to believe,” he stat ed. “Many Jews have been retained in their chairs, and some have receiv ed pensions. Some, of course, whom the authorities thought were unfav orable tc . party, were dismissed, and some retired of their own ac cord.” The younger men, Professor Dutch er indicated, considerably hamper re search through their inexperience, al though they are a hand-picked group. “Another obstacle confronting sci entists,” he said, “is the ever present feeling of ‘what’s the use? and what is Hitler to do next’?”
