Senate Ruling
To Abolish All
Secondllonors
All - College Averages
Of 2.4 Necessary
For Awards
Too Many Persons Get
Mention, Hoffman Says
Second !loners have been abolished
at graduation as a result of a, ruling
passed by the College Senate at their
meeting late last week. This will not
become effective until 'June, 1936.
The new ruling, which was a rec
ommendation of the committee on ac
ademic standards, *establishes an- av
erage of 2.4 as the lowest all-college
average which a graduate can have
and still qualify for honors. 17 ad
dition, the graduate must be in the
upper fifteen per, cent of the class.
Honors Listed
It also ruled that no one will be
eligible for honors who hasn't been
enrolled 'in the College two years or
the summer session equilialent. The
changes were the result of a plan
which William S. Hoffman, Registrar,
and secretary ,to the Senate, has been
working on for three years.
In the present set-up of honor
awards there are four honors levels.
The first ranking student in the class
is awarded the John 'W. White med
al. Then - there are senior scholar
ships awarded in the form of the
Evan Pugh scholarships and John W.
White fellowships.
Awards Too Numerous
The third and fourth levels are
"First Honors" and "Second Honors"
and are awarded to graduating
.stu
dents in the upper fifteen percent of
the class, regardless of their average.
!I . ..he..rnabi trouble. with the;ifiesent .
plair.ef:honorsawards," Mr Hoffman
eirplained,-.ls that students who are
graduated in. Tune, August, and Feb . -.
ruhry don't know Whether or not they
are getting honors. Another fault
.we have to find is that too many are
receiving honors at graduation in
June so that it has ceased to become
anhonor."
Demand For Engineer
' Graduates Increases
An index pointing to at least par
tial return' of prosperity is evidenced
here by the demand for graduates of
Engineering. '
Individual calls for experienced en
gineers have been coming in - all ydar,
according to Dean R. L. Sackett, and
general inquiries , about the June
graduating class have been received
from a number of firms since Janu
ary. Several personnel directors have
already visited the campus to inter
view prospective graduates.
Demand for mechanical engineers
is apparently leading, Dean Sackett
said, with calls for electrical and in
&stria] engineers coming close be
hind. "Capable graduates in these
fields should experience little diffi
culty in obtaining'positions this June.
Both big and little companies are
loking for men, and the requests for
engineers is coming from all typesof
industry," the school head stated.
Long Making Deals for Financial
Aid from Industry, Miller Says
"Huey Long is today making 'deals'
with prominent industrialists where
by they will give him financial sup
port in return for protection when
and if he rises to power in this coun
try." This was the statement of Dr.
Francis P. Miller, field secretary of
the Foreign Policy association and
chairman of the World's Student
Christian Federation, in an interview
Sunday night.
"There is a distinct parallel be
tween Long and Hitler," Dr. Miller
continued._ "The latter's rise to pow
er was financed by Thyssen, the steel
magnate. COnservative groups in
this country realize that Long is a
corning threat and' are offering hiro
their aid. There is. a distinct danger
that he will run for President in
1936, though. I do ',not think he will
bes great threat by then unless econ
omic conditions are much worse."
As' yet Long, Coughlin, and the
Hearst presi are not making a great
deal of headway in American univer,
sities; Dr. Miller believes. There are,
he• said, several Fascist groups, but
most of them' see Long as a coming
power and are "playing around" with
him because of what theymay . get out
200 Will Go To Hell at Gridiron
Banquet as Proteges of Satan
Two hundred persons will go to Hell
Thursday night.
They will enter the mouth of Hell•
to be guests of the Devil for the eve
ning. They will'be escorted about by
screaming imps, and will witness the
execution of several prominent cam
pus figures.
Duplicate Derby Displayed
For Hell has been chosen• as the
decoration motif for the third annual
Gridiron Banquet to be held in the
Nittany Lion Inn at 7 o'clock Thurs
day night under the sponsorship of
Sigma Delta' Chi, professional jour
nalism fraternity.
A duplicate of the Brown Ddrby,
which will be awarded to the senior
who has gone through school with the
least effort, may be seen in Stark
Brothers and .Harper's window. The
fraternity felt that the original Der
by was far too valuable to risk in a
public place until the night of the
Banquet. The senior who receives
the Derby will be requested to wear
it about town and campus the day
following the Banquet.
Rambo To Roast .Leaders
The only chance for the beridden
guei;ts at the Banquet to reply to
their tormenters will be in the talk at
the close of de affair given by Presi
dent Ralph D. Hetzel. He will give
a short talk rebutting the skits and
"roasting" the members of the fra
ternity in turn.
Alumni Directory
Will List 20,000
Association To Publish Names
. Of Graduates For First
Time Since 1920.
For the first time since 1920, the
Penn State Alumni Association will
publish .a complete directory of
College graduates and former stu
dents .in ..the.:rtear;-future....
.
'' The 'Association. h'as sent' outs quer
ies to 21,000 'alumni to find out how
"ManY would' purchase such a. direc
tory if it were published.. Two thou
sand five hundred 'subscriptions were
necessary in order to print it, and
. 2,100 have bden returned already,
with more coming in every day.
Three Divisions Made
It is planned that the directory will
contain information concerning 20,-
000 alumni and former students. It
will include the, person's name, his
course, his present address, his pres
ent occupation, his rank or title in
the corporation in which he is em
ployed, and his fraternity.
All of the 20,000 names will be list
ed under three separate classifica
tions. They will be listed according
to their geographical location, their
,classes, and alphabetically. The di
rectory will contain several hundred
pages and will be six by nine inches
square. .
Davey On Lecture Trip
Dr. Wheeler P. Davey, research
professor . of chemistry and physics,
is fulfilling a series of four speaking
engagements before -sections of the
American Chemical Society in the
mid-west. Last night he spoke to a
group of chemists at Dayton, Ohio,
and he will complete his tour with
lectnres before_ groups at Cincinnati,
Purdue, and the University of Indi
ana.
"The present wave of nationalism
has come about because the people
of this country are sick of Europe
and all forms of internationalism,"
Dr. Miller said. "The demagogue of
the- Long type has anticipated this
national mood and capitalized on it.
While he may have intensified the mt.
tionalistic spirit, he. has been a re
sult ratfier than a cause."
To combat the growing strength
of Fascism, Dr. Miller advocated that
the public be educated to what he
termed ',`radical democratic prin
ciples." Colleges in 'particular should
offer lectures, or written articles ex
plaining and interpreting the old doc
trines-of Jefferson, 'Tyler, and other
early American radicals.
"Because Capitafism . and Democ:
racy -have grown up together," he
said, "people. tend to confuse them
and • feel 'that we cannot eliminate
the one without the other. As a re
sult they turn to• European socialis
tic, doctrine as the -solution to our
problems, forgetting that we have al
most' the same doctrines advocated
by political philosophers in our own
Country. Certainly 'their • chance of
success would-be greater if they could
use Jefferson as an authority rather
than Marx." ' '
The part of the Devil will be played
be Burton Bowles jr. '35, and Wil
liam Y. E. Rambo '35 will be Roast
master, who will act as master of
ceremonies during the affair. The
Devil will have all charge of the en
tertainment. The imps as well as all
the parts in the skits will be played
by members of the fraternity.
Political Skit Planned
Persons who have received invita
tions to the affair may get their tick-.
ets by presenting the invitations at
the Student Union desk in the lobby'
of Old Main. The committee reports
,that the sale of tickets is proceeding
faster than was expected. The din
ing room in which the affair is to be
held holds only 200 persons, so the
attendance is limited to that number.
'The deadline for purchasing tickets
is 5 o'clock tonight.
A recent addition to the script is a
skit which will "roast" the present
Pennsylvania political set-up. It was
thought advisable to include such a
script when the fraternity found out
that at least four prominent State
politicians would be present at the'
Banatiet. Tney are Senator Edward
J. Thompson, of the 39th district;
Richard 3. Beamish, chief counsel to
the Public Service Commission; Sec
retary Edward N. Jones, of the de
partment of Labor and Industry; and
: Secretary Arthur Colegrove, of the
department of Properties and Sup
plies.

Clark Upholds Drama
Mr. Clark has' appeared here sev
eral times in the - past. He is well
known as-a supporter of experiment-
al and legitimate drama, and has
written a textbook on amateur pro
ducing, "How To Produce Plays,"
which has become a handbook for pro
ducers of amateur theatricals.
When Mr. Clark spoke here in 1927,
he said,. "There is one subject in
which. I am vitally interested. That
is the American. drama of the pres
ent day, its status, and its future
development outside. of Broadway.
My theory is that we have at last a
full-grown drama. of our own; that
in order that this drama may become
a definite part of American life ev
erywhere, we must decentralize pro
duction in order to give every part
of the country a growing theatre of
its own."
Whether Mr. Clark still holds this
view will be determined tomorrow
night. He has said that he believes
in the utmost freedom for the thea
tre as a necessity for artistic devel
opment. He has been a militant cru
sader against all forms of censor
ship.

Proposal Would Make
Senators Act As
Executives.
Freshman Heads Would
Retain Present Status
Women of the College will vote this
week on a recommendation, signed by
all of the women's class officers and
each member of the women's Senate,
that will abolish all but freshman
class officers and provide that the
Senator act as class head.
The recommendation comes as a re
sult of long questioning as to the
value of class officers, which culmin
ated in an editorial on the subject in
the March 5 issue of the COLLEGIAN.
This editorial summarized the argu
ments against the necessity of offi
cers and urged that some action be
taken.
To Abolish Framework
The purpose of the recommendation
is merely to abolish a useless frame
work of machinery, according to Lucy
S. Erdman '35, president of the W. S.
G. A. She explained that although
the recommendation may seem like
r. radical concentration of power, it
actually is not, for investigation has
shown that there is no power.
Junior women voted last night on
the recommendation; sophomores will
vote tonight; freshmen vote tomor
row night, and the senior women on
Thursday night. The recommendation
does not include the freshman class
officers.
Class Senator Responsible
It was felt that freshman officers
I were necessary in order to organize
the new class and to facilitate rush
ing and;other similar-problems.- Class
meetings for freshmen, it was ex
plained, provide a 'means of getting
acquainted and give the freshmen a
sense of belonging.
Under the new set-up the class Sen
ator would automatically become
class head upon election and would
be held responsible for any class or
ganization needed.' It is expected that
better cooperation between classes
and student government will be the
result.
Treasurers Are Figureheads
Details of redistributing the few re
maining duties of the ;resent offi
cers have not been entirely worked
out, but it is probable that the class
Senators will be able to handle them
or appoint committees to do so.
Freshmen customs, campus sisters,
junior-senior reception, and the senior
dinner would be included among such
duties.
That the class treasures are mere
figureheads, since all the actual work
is carried on in the office of Neal M.
Fleming, Graduate Manager of Ath
letics, has been admitted by the pres
ent treasurers.
Social chairmen have nothing to do
except serve on the class dance com
mittees, but with the omission of this
year's sophomore class social chair
man from the Soph Hop committee
even this function has disappeared.
Modern World Faces
3 Faiths, Miller Says
The three faiths challenging the
modern world are nationalism, econ
omic forces, and God, according to
Dr. Francis P. Miller, field secretary
of the Foreign Policy association and
chairman of the World's Student
Christian Feileration, speaking in
Schwab auditorium Sunday morning.
"Faith is used to describe the ulti
mate thing that men live by," the
speaker said. "It is the thing that
gives life meaning for them ; and for
most it is the thing that they would
die for.
"Perverted nationalism makes the
nation a god and object of worship,"
Dr. hillier declared. "The Japanese,
for example, are today worshiping
the ashes of their military heroes.
Those of you who have heard Long
or Coughlin or who read the Hearst
press know that there is a trend in
this country that has the ingredients
for the same kind of national idolatry
that exists today in Joplin or Ger
many."
The faith in sonic economic strue
' tut.° is based on the belief that man
is an economic animal, the speaker
explained. Since each of these groups
hold different beliefs, for which they
are willing to fight, the inevitable end
is that they kill each other off.
"The essence of faith in Christian
ity is that it constitutes citizenship
in the kingdom of God," he conclud
ed. "This determines what sort of
economic, political, and social beliefs
such a person will hold."
