Borough Council To Act On Offer Monday Night A donation of $lOO to be taken from the inter-class treasury will be offered to the Borough of State Col lege for the damage to the paving at Co-op Corner during the student bon fire and riot last Alumni Homecom ing Day, according to instructions to the secretary of Student Board at their last meeting. The secretary was instructed to make this offer in a letter to the Borough Council', and it is expected that action will be taken on the letter by the Council at their next regular meeting on Monday night. The inter class treasury receives its monies from class dues and profits on class functions. Borough Estimate' Was $203 According to members of Student Board, the College by offering this amount does not take responsibility for students' actions. It will be em phasized that the SIOD is simply a donation, made to maintain good will between the student body and the Borough. The original estimate • for repairs to the road, made by Borough Eng ineer Denithorne, was for's2o3. Stu dent Board felt this to be high and', appointed Richard A. Sigel '35 to'' try to reach a compromise satisfac tory to both -parties. $lOO Believed Fair Oiler For some time it was thought that the State Highway• Department would repair the road, which is a state road, because of a bulge left there when the extension of Allen street up the campus was cut out. However; no. satisfactory promise could be secur ed and this idea had to be forgotten: he:2leiter. , to , the:-Borough :Council will maintain that $lOO is a- fair offer- because of the age of the pave ment,-which was laid fifteen years ago, and because of its condition be fore the fire.

The question' of reducing the debat ing fee arose in Student Board last fall but did not reach a head until recently. The Board requested a fi nancial statement from 'Forensic Council and upon receiving, it decid ed not to Make any recomniendations to the student body that the fee be reduced.' The decision would have to be by vote of the student body in the spring elections. The financial report, covering the first semester, lists total• expenditures of $760.85 from . a bank balance of $988.58 'at the start of the 'semester. The bank balance was made up of $750 in student debate fees, and $13.85 returned from two trips of last year, phis a balance of $224.73 from the !eat College year.

The total received from the student fee ranges from $l,BOO to $2,000 a year.

In the Dutch Males, where the men played four years ago following their first American tour; they gave 38 concerts in 42 days. The New York Vincs said of a con cert given by the Budapest String Quartet in the Town Hall last year: "The beauty of their playing results chiefly from a technique' so finished, and a sense of ensemble so highly de veloped that their music might have been written without bars or tempo signs, so plastically does it flow, so finely controlled is the rise and fall of phrase. "One always dreams of playing like this, where in the living music grows before the ears like the unfolding of some complex plant following its own inward laws of exfoliation, but one rarely hears it ...

Approves Merger of Men; Women Christian Groups. Following an experimental period of one year, the consolidation of the separate men's and women's cabinets of the P. S. C. A. into a joint cab inet with one set of officers was offi cially approved at a recent electing of the cabinet. During the past year, the P. S. C. A. program has been di rected by a combined cabinet under the leadership of co-officers. Increasing cooperation bet Ween the men's and women's work has proved the value of unified leadership and the adoption of the plan for a single cabinet,.with officers to be elected by the members of the cabinet itself, is considered by the Association work ers to be a forward step. The decision that officers were to be elected within the cabinet instead of by the membership at large is bas ed on the conviction that the qualifi cations and capabilities of the per sons involved could 'be judged best by the cabinet group. The plan also allows equal opportunity for men and women to be elected to positions of responsibility. The P. S. C. A. of today sprang from the Y. M. C. A. which was founded here in 1875. The name, P. S. C. A., was adopted six years ago. The Y. W. C. A., founded here in 1908, also became part of the present P. S. C. A. in much the same manner. `Collegian' Launches • Greek News Column With this issue the COLLEGIAN begins "Among the Greeks," a column devoted exclusively to news of the social fraternities on this campus.

Editorials or Hearst Declared Fascist Propaganda 6y Hensen "It is putting it far too mildly to say that the editorials of William Randolph Hearst concerning com munistic propaganda in this country are extravagant Fascist propagan da," Francis A. Hansen, general sec retary of the International Student Service, declared in an interview on Wednesday night. Upon being in formed that. an anonymous professor here had suggested the possibility of a libel suit against the COLLEGIAN hccause of an editorial condemning Hearst and McFadden, Hansen said that there was no possibility of such action being. taken. Bills which have been introduced in the New York and other state legis latures by the Hearst machine were cited by Henson as examples of the Fascism which they are propagandis ing. These acts which require teach ers and students in all schools and colleges to take certain oaths of al legiance would, in effect, prevent any one with socialistic leanings from at tending or teaching in any schools or universities, he said. In his speech, "Will the New Deal Lead to Fascism?" Henson declared that this country is at an economic crisis and must soon choose between Fascism ana Socialism. One or the other of these must eventually domi- rgitut Glen Gray To Furnish Music For Junior Prom on May 3 rTo Play at Prom ammEra Glee Clubs Plans Near Completion Combined Singing Organizations Will Hold Music Festival Here on March 11.

Taking into its scope the nature of the heavenly bodies, the course will entail observation of the bodies, the use of astronomical instruments, and the building of telescopes. Prof. lien ry L. Ycagley, of the department of .physics, will teach the course. nate the greater part of the world, he said. "Fascism, with its nationalistic ideals and corporate state, tries to eliminate class struggle by developing a community of interest. Socialism is international. in character and its important feature is a planned sys tem of economy," Ilensen explained. "From my own experience and Ob servation in Russia," Henson said in a speech to another group, "I am convinced that economic planning there has worked. It is practical and I feel will eventually be adopted in this country. 'However, I do not think that it can work under Capi talism or Fascism." The leading advocates of Fascism in this country, Hearst, McFadden, Long, and Coughlin, are disguising the movement under other names, he pointed out. They are making empty promises to labor in order to gain support, but the movement here, as in Italy and Germany, will be financ ed by industry and have its interests at heart, 'Jensen believes. Huey Long 119 sees as a probable presidential candidate in 1936. His chances will be enhanced because the conservative vote will be divided be tween Roosevelt and the Republican nominee, he feels.

"Glen Gray has the most distinc tive band in the country," 'said Prof. Hummel Fishburn, of the ,department of music education. "All of the mem bers are outstanding technicians on their instruments. They mingle hot jazz with smooth . (lance rhythm, and they do both well. Their dance ar rangements have given them a style that can he recognized anywhere. I think the band is consistently the best in the business, and has been for sev eral years." Decorations will follow a lavish or iental theme, using colored ceiling lights. The scene:y, which will be erected by a well-known Philadelphia decorating concern, is more - expensive than sets used at any other dance of the year, according to Chairman I. M. Board Invokes New Eligibility Ruling Intramural Board took action Tues day to make it impossible for students who have participated in any inter collegiate sports to take part in intra murals. This includes both the mem bers of the varsity and of freshmen teams. In explaining the new ruling, Don ald B. Ross 'a, ,president of the board, said that previously the mat ter had been left up to the discretion of the various coaches. He pointed out that under that system, members of the freshmen football., basketball, track, and cross-country teams have been automatically disqualified by the coaches, while members of other freshmen tennis, such as boxing and wrestling, have been able to partici pate. However, this ruling will not go into effect until next year. At the meeting, it was also suggested that besides giving a cup to the winning team in an intramural tournament, the board should also give a plaque to the second place winner. However, this resolution was not definitely ac cepted at Tuesday's meeting. 1 Who's Dancing SATURDAY Tau Sigma Phi (Invitation) Red Witherson
