Several of the, dates, according to Angelo N. Berbatis '35, debate man ager, are stilt tentative, but, with the possible addition of a few con tests, these are the only changes that will be made. The question to be used on all the regular debates ,is "Resolved: That the nations should agree to prevent the international shipment of arms and munitions." Adopt New Policy A new policy this year will be that only outstanding home debates will be held on the campus while the oth ers will be held before nearby town or high school groups in Bellefonte, Altoona,' Tyrone, and Pine Grove Mills. In addition certain 'feature' debates will be held in Schwab audi torium. . The first of these was the Oxford debate in November, the next, a par liamentary debate with the Univer sity of Pittsburgh men's team on Feb ruary S. This debate replaces the previously scheduled international contest with the University of Hawaii which, according to a letter received two days ago, was cancelled because the university authorities would not allow the team to make the trip through the United States this year.

'Dick' Harlow, former Penn State football coach, was appointed head coachl at' Harvard early yesterday. Harlow had coached at Western Maryland since 1526.

All other students may vote at, the Stu dent Union desk in Old Main. Abso lutely no faculty members may vote. Any male member of the faculty or administrative stafFs is an eligible candidate in the poll, be he dean of a school or the lowliest graduate•assist ant. The conductors of the poll are de termined to keep dirty work out of. the voting. At the completion of last year's poll certain members of the department of English composition made charges of vote buying against John S. "Beau Brummel" Naylor. Such tactics will be strictly guarded against. It cannot be stressed too strongly that voters should bear in mind that the poll is meant to bring to light the consistently best dressed profes, sor. It is hoped that students will not be influenced by any sudden blos soming forth of Christmas cravats. It should also be remembered that the bizarre is not necessarily the taste ful. Hirsch, Erdman Hold Dissimilar Viewpoints on Value of N.F.S.A. W. S. G. A. Head Thinks Federation Not Worth Cost; Class President Favors Plan. Dissimilar opinions as to the value of the National Student Federation of America to local student govern ment were expressed yesterday by Lucy J. Erdman '35, president of the W. S. G. A., and Paul K. Hirsch '35, senior class president, who attended the twelfth congress of the Federa tion held in Boston from December 28 to January 1 as delegates from this College. "The Student Federation of Amer ica is not worth enough to the worn en's student government here to send delegates in the future," Miss Erd man declared. "The main reason is that local women's government is probably ten years more advanced Carnegie Library Will Close Later Plan To Stay Open Until 11 P. M For Benefit of Students Composing Theses. An experiment in library-student cooperation will be inaugurated Mon day; January 19, when the reference room and the current and bound per iodical rooms will be left open an ad ditional hour, until• 11 o'clock. The custom will be continued until the Saturday before finals, January 26. The plan is to 'accommodate those students working on term Papers who find time pressing at the close of the semester. It will be continued at the end of each semester, only if justified by the previous attendance. As usual, no reference. books or periodicals may be taken from the library during this hour. Faculty Shelf Started . Another library innovation is the new faculty reserve shelf 'at the right of the niain desk which will contain books and pamphlets of special inter est _to faculty, members. These. vol ttmeswill have• a limited circulation and will include a few of the great est books of all time. on ancient and modern thought, history, art and sci ence, some books on college teaching and a few of general current interest. When questioned as to why the ag ricultural library •was 'not kept open on Sundays, Librarian Willard P. Lewis explained that none of the school or departmental libraries are open on that day, that it is a tradi tion for the library to remain closed and the faculty favors it, and that it is not essential that it be open be cause there is not enough pressure of work on the students involved. Artists' Course Sale Continues at Reduced Rates for Final Week A final opportunity to obtain tick ets for the Artists' Course series at the reduced rates afforded by the se ries tickets will be given students, fac ulty, townspeople, and others as the ticket sale continues this week at the A. A. windows in Old Main, Dr. Carl E. Marquardt, chairman of the com mittee, said loday. Tickets for individual numbers pur chased separately will cost nearly twice as much as the series tickets, Dr. Marquardt said, in announcing the scale at which seats for individual numbers will be sold, if any remain after the completion of the series sale this week. Series Tickets To Be $3lO Series tickets are on sale at $3.10 per series of six numbers. If pur chased for individual numbers, they would cost $5.00, as follows: Thursday, January 17, The Viennese Choir Boys, $1.00; week of February 18, exact date to be announced, Green Pactures, $1.50; Thursday, March 7, Budapest String Quartet, seventy-five cents; Tuesday, March 19, Humphrey and Weidman and their modern dance group, $1.00; Thursday, April 11, Raymond Ditmars, curator of the New York Zoological Park, seventy five cents; Tuesday, April 30, Grate Steuckgold, Metropolitan Opera so prano, $l.OO. In making public the scale deter mined by the committee for the sale of individual numbers should any scats remain over, Dr. Marquardt urged prospective buyers to take ad vantage of the saving afforded by buying a series ticket. The cost of seeing "Green Pas tures" alone will be $1.50, lie pointed out, which makes available through the series privileges five other high class numbers at an approximate cost of thirty cents apiece. More than half of the tickets that remained after the initial window sales were completed, were sold be fore the Christmas vacation, Dr. Mar quardt Said. About a hundred tick ets are still available. than those of most other schools." "I'm not so sure; I haven't quite made up my mind," declared Hirsch. "The Federation has several obvious faults, but I believe that if they were ironed out it might offer something constructive to this College. • "Men's student government at this College also probably is ten years ahead of the most of the other mem ber schools but this is mainly due to the mediocre character of most of them," Hirsch continued. "None of the leading men's colleges with the exception of Princeton and perhaps Columbia are represented in the Fed eration. Too many teachers' colleges and women's colleges are represent ed." Miss Erdman also believed that the character of the membership was re sponsible for the worthlessness of the organizaton but for a different rea son. She believed that there are too many women's colleges and not enough co-educational institutions with conditions and problems similar to those of Penn State. "I believe that there are other or ganizations, such as the Intercollegi ate Association of Women Students„ 1 to which it might be more profitable for the women of this College to be long," Miss Erdman suggested. Both representatives agreed that too much time was spent in discussing national and international affairs and not enough time on practical campus problems which might help the indi vidual colleges. Both believed that what discussion there was was too general and the questions taken up not very important. Hirsch suggested that if the opin ion of the colleges was wanted on such questions that it could be secured through a questionnaire without lengthy discussion at the convention. He thought that members would bene fit if more practical problems, 'such as freshman orientation, were chosen.
