TAYLOR ’35 Debate Features Strategy, Humor Visitors Surprised as Berbatis, Decker Hit Compulsory Military Training Well marshalled arguments, decep tive agreement, cutting criticism, and delayed punch—all were used as John S. Cripps and Michael Foot, Oxford debaters, met Angelo *N. Berbatis ’35 and Aaron N. Decker ’36 in Schwab auditorium Monday night in an in ternational debate on military train ing in schools and' universities. Saving- their main attack for the second speaker, Penn State, uphold ing the affirmative side of the ques tion, took their English opponents completely unawares by; joining them in their attack upon militarism ..and then proclaiming that the reason they favored -compulsory, military training vtaristicr spirit ;,m those subjected, to Michael Foot, first speaker for the opposition, attacked compulsory mili tary training because it gives a fan tastic idea of real war, because the war office has no right to teach in our educational system, because what it teaches is dangerous nonsense, and because" such training is for an in stitution which has beenoutlawed by statesmen of all the major nations. Angelo Berbatis, first speaker for the affirmative, insisted that he was not in favor of militarism and would favor the abolishment of- all military training if the opposition could offer some method of-protection that would be feasible with world conditions as they arc today. He emphasized the low cost per man which the R.O.T.C. requires* to prepare officers for the regular army after four years of training in school. . John Cripps agreed that military training of some sort was necessary but argued that it should be taught in a special institution and not in a public school or in a university where it defiles the whole educational sys tem. Hq maintained that military training instills a feeling of nation alism. * Aaron Decker in his speech attack ed the idea of a, special school- for military training as being too expen sive, taking too much time, and form ing a group of specialists who wquld not be fit for any other occupation. He objected to the statement that it resulted in a spirit of nationalism; for rather, he said, it formed an anti militaristic attitude. • Following the rebuttals of both sides, the question was opened *bo forum discussion and for half an hour the audience questioned both sides, mostly on* the local angles of the question.. State Cheering Section At Game Will Sing ‘Cross-eyed Kelly From Pennsyl-van-eye-ay’ “Take.

Four thousand sheets containing the words of this popular song will be passed out in the Penn State cheer, ing sections by the cheerleaders just before the. opening kick-off.

Skcmp to de cide the facts in the cases of Willard S. Sitler ’3B and Edla Hood ’3B vs. Student Tribunal. The charges against Sitler were dating and going without customs. Hood was charged with general customs violations and insubordination. “For- two weeks,” Judge Skemp told Hood, “you will be required to wear the signs “Am I Smooth Now?” and “Hood Think I Did That?” Be cause of the seriousness of the crime with which you have been found guilty another fine will also be im posed upon you. Wear your trousers inside out at all times that the rest of your sentence is being served,” His Honor continued. “Additional- charg es which may be preferred against you for further disobedience of.cus toms will result in more severe pen alties. Next case.” “Do you, Willard S. Sitler, promise to tell the truth, the whole truth,-and nothing but the truth as a true gentleman of the Pennsylvania State College,” the court Bailiff demanded of the'next defendant. With a well executed Boy Scout salute, Sitler said, “I do.” When ask- Lion Makes Trek for Tilt With Penn; Morrison Back Strut by the Quakers JAMES \V. TOW’NSEND '35 Blue Band Drum-Major L. A.

Stoddart reveal- that six ty-seven per cent of the undergradu ate courses in that school have twen ty-one or more students enrolled in them. Economics courses showed the largest increase over last semester, while only two curricula experienced any decreases: music and classical languages. In the graduate courses, in which there are eighty-one enrolled, seventy five per cent of the classs have- V fivc students or less in them. There are 2,443 enrolled in undergraduate econ omics courses, 2,201 in English com position, 1,G43 in history, 1,49 G in mathematics, 1;002 in English liter ature, 044 in Romance languages, G 67 in German courses, 480 in music, 273 in journalism, 230 in philosophy, and 124 in classical languages.

I’m just see ing a girl from the home town. Be fore I did thus, however, I went to see some .of the higher authorities to find out their attitude -about it. ' I guess I made my mistake in not com ing to Tribunal.” “What ‘higher authorities’ did you see,” Paul K. Hirsch '35, District At torney for the Tribunal, asked. In .answer to his query Mr. Hirsch was told that P.S.C.A. lenders and others were consulted. Two signs, “Just a Home Town Gal” and “But I Love Her" will be worn as the penalty for disobeying the regulation, Judge Skemp stated in handing down his decision on the case. Daniel G. Wray '3B charged with not wearing a dink for a period of one week was found “not guilty.” The evidence 'disclosed that the dink had been lost while the defendant was on a dinner date at one of the fraterni ties and a search for it failed to lo cate the article. The opinion of the court was that the defendant could not be held responsible under the Ex isting conditions. COMPLETE CAMPUS COVERAGE PRICE FIVE CENTS Large Student Exodus Will Follow Team, Blue Band Nittanymen Favored To Trip Red and Blue By BONN SANDERS With Captain Merrill Morri son back in the starting line-up for the first time since the Get tysburg game four weeks ago, the Nittany Lion will make its annual invasion of the haunts of the Quaker of the University of Pennsylvania when the two teams meet on Franklin Field at 2 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. The largest student exodus in years will follow the team, which will leave Co-op corner at 10 o’clock this morning. More than 3,500 scats have already been sold to Penn Stale adher snts. The Blue Band, led by Major Wil fred O. Thompson and Drum Major James W. Townsend, will leave from Co-op Corner immediately after the departure of the squad. The squad will be in the best phys ical condition of the season, no seri ous injuries being suffered in the Orange game. Al Mikelonis, Roy Schuyler, and Art Fry were slightly shaken up but will be in shape for tomorrow’s tilt. Lee Sunday, who was injured in practice last week, may be in shape tomorrow. Both Teams In Good Shape The Lion team, has been bolstered also by the return of Frank Smith, flashy sophomore end, to uniform. He was injured in the Columbia game but returned to practice on Monday.

Corning Smyth, fullback, who was, like Pennypaeker, hurt in the Navy melee, is also in uniform again. He suffered a partly paralyzed shoulder nerve, but is in playing condition again. Ed Warwick, who is bothered by a bad side, is nevertheless attend ing practice sessions. Coaching Staffs Worried James Hauze, the second year cen ter whose side and knee were injured last Saturday, is in fair condition. He has not been able to do heavy work in practice this week but should be in condition to play tomorrow. “Falcon” Nye, also hurt Saturday, will start at right end. Both coaching staffs, strangely enough, are worried about the same thing—overconfidence. This is par tularly true of the Quakers. The Lion scout, Joe Bedenk, who has been watching Penn in its last two games, warns the Nittanymen that the Red and Blue’s early season defeats mean nothing. The team, be ing composed largely of sophomores, lacked experience but are coming up fast, j Red and Blue Heavier Coach Harvey Harman is plenty worried about the Lions’ trek out of the mountains.

The work is a collaboration of Prof. B. Kenneth Johnstone, assist ant professor of architecture, with John Melza Sitton, a mural painter of New York City. Professor Johnstone and Sitton spent six months painting native de signs on silk hangings while living in the Duteh East Indies. The hang ings, bordered with Japanese brocade, represent unusual native ornamenta tion of Bali. The sketches and etchings to be displayed were done in Rome. They present such architectural types as the Arch of Constantine, Arco San Gallo, and St. Peter's Cathedral. The exhibit will remain open about ten days.
