Dictator'---Bartlett "I would not be greatly surprised if Huey Long or Father Coughlin be-, came dictator of the United States." This statement was made by Vernon Bartlett, distinguished British jour nalist and radio speaker, in an inter view following his talk here Thurs day night. Mr. Bartlett left for Wash ington early the next morning to keep an engagement, with President Roose velt. "The appealing personalities of these.two men make theni both poten. tial dictators," he continued. "Peo ple laughed at .Hitler a couple of years ago when he started out, but the German people were soon won over by his colorful promises, and be cause they knew that they had every thing to win and nothing to lose." Mr. Batrlett pointed out that Huey, Long • might •he able to do the same thing here if he put the unemployed in uniforms and spurred them to ac tion by glittering promises. The jour nalist pointed• out that the tremend ous appeal of- Pather Coughlin was demonstrated in the recent World Court vote; for it was partially be cause of one of the radio addresses by the Father that this significant bill was defeated.

Executive Committee To Serve Permanently Arriving, at points of difference, factors of, good . and ill will, and Means of mutual understanding, was accepted by over 100 representatives of . Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant faiths as the objective of the Good will Seminar, which climaxed its meetings. Sunday noon. Opening. with a public panel discus sion in Schwab auditorium on Friday night, which was led by Dr.,Bernard C. Clausen, of the First Baptist Church of Pittsburgh, Rabbi Solomon B. Freehof, df Rodef Shalom Temple of Pittsburgh, and, the Rev. Gerald C. Treacy, vice-president of St. Jos eph's College, Philadelphia, the Semi nar committee conducted two round table' discussion groups Saturday, and climaxed with the Chapel service Sunday morning. In the summary of the three groups Sunday morning, it was learned that a child, while free of religious preju dice at birth, is prejudiced through his immediate environment. Thus, it was decided that through the medium of such seminars representatives will be ably, prepared to cope with the cul tural background of their children in! future years. Another advantage of such a con ference, gained by seminar attend ants, was the fact that crisis which may arise in each" local community can be met through the experience of the delegates. The •question of intol erance is the burden of the three groups, it was learned. Most of this , intolerance is preached by backward theologians who have, had no back ground of experiende with, and under ,standing.of, other religions. To this ;end it was suggisted, that it might be .we 11.." cOnduct :anch.,conferences liniong4hewpastari::of=Viirious,':toin. , ; inunities. •,. While Catholic and Jewish discrithi nation is held among the majority of fraternities' here, it was decided that because of the many cultural -back grounds assembled on the campus it is advisable for such Bivisions to be made. This, however, would . be trivi al, were one to respect the other stu dent's faith. As compared to other colleges, cam pus conditions here are high above par, it was brought out, as traces of racial discrimination were difficult to discover. This was commented on by the three speakers as highly com mendable to the College. Committee Appointed For Annual Cwen Ball With the appointment of a commit tee to plan for the event, arrange ' ments are under way for the annual Cwen dance to be given by the sopho more girls campus society in Mac hall, February 23. Jean C. Kriebel is chairman of the committee named by M. May Dun away, president • of Cwens. Other members of the committee are: Ber tha M. Cohen, Gelsie R. Ferdinand, Emma Jane Foster, Rachael Van Artsdalen, Marian •W. Barbey, and -Elizabeth R. Oberlin. • Senatori on the following day that a negative vote was inevitable, he stat ed. However, Mr. Bartlett did not be lieve that such a dictatorship "could be established. while Roosevelt was still President. He said that Roose velt had actually achieved all of the powers granted to a dictator without breaking down the machinery of pop ular government. - When questioned concerning the much-discussed censorship of out-go ing news in European countries, Mr. Bartlett scored the idea that the work of American correspondents is being rigidly censored. The journalist ex plained that while the newspapers of most countries are under government al control, the foreign correspondents in'those countries. are free to write whatever they please. .This is particularly true in Ger many, he said. There, he pointed out, foreign correspondents are usually free to send out whatever news they wish. However, when, the papers of these foreign correspondents are sent to Germany, they are read diligently by. German authorities, and if these printed accounts displease the Ger-, mans, the correspondent is asked to' leave.

Front their combined ef ' forts we .will build a better society." Dr. Solomon B. Freetiof, of the Rodef Shalom Temple. in Pittsburgh, advanced. this opinion in , speaking on "The Peace Between 'Science and Re ligion" at chapel services in Schwab auditorium Sunday morning. "Man has always been managed by something, and religion has exerted the strongest influence. ' But when three centuries ago Galileo set his telescope toward the stars, his ges ture marked the end of .the domina tion of man by religion. Front that time religion and science waged a continual battle between tradition and research," he said. "Religion finally yielded to science on fact-finding," the' speaker contin ued, "but on the latterls belief in a mechanistic philosophy, which left no place for a soul or ideals, there could be no armistice. The 'scientist of to day is aware of the essential mys tery of the Universe." Dairy Short Courses End for 42 Students With forty-two students enrolled in the present course on market milk and milk control, the best attendance in years has been noted at the three two week dairy courses, the last of which will close tomorrow, Charles D. Dahle, professor of dairy manufac ture, said today. Ice cream making, always a popu lar course, had the largest enrollment again this year, when fifty-two stu dents took' the work. Three foreign countries, Canada, Cuba, and Swe den, were represented. Original Desk of First President of College Discovered in Library A. forgotten, dust-covered desk be longing to President Pugh, first Col lege executive, was discovered in a se cluded store-room of the' College Li brary recently by - a member of the Library staff, after being over-looked for over a half-century. The desk was constructed before the Civil War and placed in the original structure of Old Main, in 1859. It was taken to the Library basement to be stored away several years later. When it was found recently, the department of Grounds and Buildings reconditioned it, and will place it on the first-floor landing--of the front stairs in that building as' an exhibit. 10 Women's Fraternities Pledge . 104 Co-eds as Second Semester Trial Rushing Period Terminates New Plan Meets With General Approval Of Leaders. Concentrated Rushing Declared Satisfactory The general approval• with which fraternity women have met this first trial of second semester rushing has been expressed by some of the house presidents as follows: Nancy W. Stahlman '35, Alpha Omicron Pi—" This trial has proved very satisfactory." Narian L. Foreman '35, Chi Omega —"We are very much in favor of con centrated rushing." Claire M. Lichty '35, Gamma Phi Beta—"We are looking forward to a semester of constructive work in the fraternity and are thankful not to have to spend the time in rushing." I Margaret W.

Dr. Arthur P. Honess, professor of minpralogy„.haa been elected a Fel .ety and awarded $l,OOO to pursue in vestigations of crystal structure by means of 'etch methods,. he was in formed. recentry by. Dr. Charles P. Berkley, professor of geology at Co lumbia university, secretary of the society. The award was made from the Penrose fund which the society administers to encourage scientific re search. While the research to be under-1 taken by Dr. Honess is purely scion tific in that it is primarily. search for added information about crystal) structures, it may have an important ! practical application. It was pointed out that crystals are present in near ly everything that man uses and crys tal forms even appear to regulate life processes. Dr. Honess will study the struc ture of crystals by means of etch ing their surfaces with optically ac tive solvents in his new problem. Due to the orderly arrangement of atoms within a crystal, the patterns formed by etch figures on the surface reveal the interior structure. Recently, gowever, he observed that the symmetry indicated by the optic ally active solvents on calcite was of a different grade than that revealed by optically inactive solvents. An op tically active solvent is one which rotates a beam of polarized light, the scientist explains. fie reported this anomalous condition to the geological society and received the grant of $l,- 000 to investigate the condition. Police Force, Led by Leitzell, Visits Beer Parlors, Takes Names, Leaves Saturday night the frequenters of local beer emporiums got a real "pre repeal" thrill for themselves and their "imported" dates for Senior Ball week-end when the entire local police and riot force, both of them, headed by Chief Burgess Wilbur F. Lietzell, swept down on a Beaver ave nue establishment, known to one and all the citizens along the avenue as the "C.G.,". and garnered a small op tion on everybody's name and ad dress and age. Even to the casual observer it was apparent that the maintainers of all that is good and lawful seemed to be suddenly concerned with the protec tion of the young punks around town. This is hard for many citizens along the avenue to understand since these very protectors and Sir Galahadn'ts have been known to state that beer drinking doesn't result in loose !nas ality among the students, that the number of students who drink beer to excess is negligible, that the use of beer alone does not cause drunk enness on the streets, that it has re sulted in no reckless driving in town and no destruction of property. • And what is more, they say that if Council Reports Few Rushing Rules Broken Panhellenic Council has reported but a few minor violations of the rushing code and has expressed ap proval of this second semester trial, according to Jeanne S. Kleck ner '36, president of the Council. Several alterations of the rules concerning hours and the proce dure of signing date cards for the informal parties have been sug gested and will be considered with in a short time, she said.

(beer isn't sold here in town,. it will cause beer joints to be set up just out side. the town limits and will result in the bootlegging of beer. ' These quotations were all taken from a brief prepared here as an ar gumentative class project. Among the other persons quoted were Dean Arthur R. Warnock who said, "Beer does not, to any great extent, cause drunkenness on the streets or in the residential sections of the town. Stu dents who care enough for beer to go out of town for it would probably drink more at a time than if it. was secured in State College. Dr. Joseph P. Ritenour, College physician, testified that beer was not harmful physically if not used to any great excess, according to the brief which also quoted Dr. J. G. Morgan, of the Medical School of Columbia University, and 'Dr. Edgar W. Trie bold, of the department of agricul ture bio-chemistry as being of the seine opinion. Dean Warnock, Dr. Triebold, and Dean Will G. Chambers, of the School of Education stated, according to the brief, that beer would not harm any one mentally.
