This includes the preparation of certain materials and• test specimens used in the investiga tion and equal donations to the re search fund. The project, the first of its kind in' this department, was started on Sep-' tember 1, and is under the direction of Dr. Charles R. Austin, of the de partment of metallurgy; 'assisted by one graduate student and two seniors in metallurgy. Close Contact is being maintained with representatives of the cooperating companies in order that the investigations may have a definite practical' aspect. The program which has.been out •lined so far includes investigations on the effects of stress and corrosion on alloys at elevated 'temperatures and factors affecting the decarburization of steel. Various equipment has been loaned to the department and high temperature deformation apparatus has already been installed. • Who's Dancing TONIGHT University Club (Formal-Closed) Penn Statesmen.

Humphrey Claims Whole Western World As Possible Material for Dance Themes Interviewed Tuesday 'night after a near-capacity audience had encored the final number on a program of modern dances presented by the Humphrey-Weidman ensemble, Miss Doris Humphrey explained how she creates her dances. "In choosing a theme for a dance, theoretically I claim the world at least the western world as possible material," she said. "By this I mean to include the arts, industries, leg ends, history, and the sciences of mod ern and ancient times. Also, I have my own interior world of sensation to work with, and meaning of my experience. Personally, I think the dancer is safest in adhering to this latter theme to insure artistic integ rity." The artiste explained that even as late as ten years ago the ballet was in the foreground with stories exclu sively romantic. • Isadore Duncan 'and Ruth St. Denis came and widened the horizon, but still kept well• within the romantic scope and a machine dance was unheard of, she said. "Then the dance reached out with Winter Sports Carnival is Set for Tomorrow Night; To Feature Alumni Game Center For Alumni . V ~~~~ `~~ ~ FRED.

Whitmore, of the School of Chemistry and Physics, has been appointed to a committee on heavy water by the National Re search Council. The United States Bureau of Standards, the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and seven other colleges and universities are represented on the committee. The heavy water plant placed In operation here about a year ago was the first in the country to provide this recently discovered compound to scientists in sufficient quantities to enable them to carry on executive research. The plant was developed from designs of chemical engineers in the College based upon pioneer ex periments conducted by Dr. D. ,Rank,',of the department of physics. the rest of the aesthetic world and now seems able to delve into almost every crack and corner of it," Miss Humphrey continued, "Almost, but not quite. For we—at least I—have come to recognize that certain ground is taboo. Some themes, however, stir ring to the imagination, are static in their essence and do not permit of 'a movement treatment. Since Move ment is the very bones and blood of the modern dance and must always dominate it, static ideas are danger ous. They stop the flow of the move ment, and must therefore be regarded as taboo." In keeping with her theory that the dance should not he chained by romance, Miss Humphrey's themes are far from the passive loveliness of the previous era. They suggest danger, excitement, struggle, intellec tual probing. Though usually based on a definite theme, they never at tempt to tell a story. Miss Humph rey's method is to let movement and rhythm grow out of the theme, in an exciting enough way to justify its existence apart from any story. PRICE FIVE CENTS Contest To Determine I. M. Basketball Championship. Townsend To Play for Dance After Contests Penn State's first Winter Sports Carnival will get under way in Rec reation hall tomorrow night at 7 o'- clock with the final play-off game in the Intramural basketball tourna ment. The feature of the Carnival will be the Alumni-Varsity basketball game, which will start right after the intramural game. An all-College dance will be held following this game. Admission to all the evening's events will be forty cents per person. Proceeds of the Carnival will go to the Student Loan fund. Newell Town send and his orchestra will play at the dance, while the gym team will give a twenty-minute exhibition be tween the halves of the Alumni game. Alumni Now Coach Many former Blue and White court stars have signified their intentions of returning to participate in 'the game, which has always been a bit terly contested feud. The Alumni game has not been played since 1927. This will be the sixth of the series, in all of which, after a bitter strug gle, the varsity has won. But it may be different this year! Many of the returning alumni have been playing professional basketball or coaching winning teams ever since they were graduated, and will prob ably be in tip-top condition, deter mined to break the jinx. Hermann Predicts Struggle Coach Dutch Hermann, predicting a close struggle, expects to start for mer Captain Freddy Brand '32 at center. Brand is six feet four and will have an easy time getting the .tap.Off—frcim-75im-'-.Hunter:v-Af-forL Wards, Hermann will use Whitey Von Nieda '2B and JOhnriy Reed '24. Von Nieda has been coaching at Girard High. in Erie and playing with the Erie A. C., while ,Reed is coaching at Scott High in North Braddock. Guards will 'no doubt be Ed Mc- Minn '33 and Daiie Thomas '35. Mc- Minn is coach at Picture Rocks high and playing in the Williamsport City league, while. Thomas, although not yet graduated; played varsity bas ketball here for the last three years. Loeffler To Play Coach Hermann expects to make numerous substitutions, putting in fresh men as soon as one of his men shows signs of tiring of the fast pace which the varsity is expected to set. He will have plenty of good men to call upon. There will be Kenny Loeffler '24, coach at Geneva College and playing professional ball with the Morrys in Pittsburgh, who is one of the best shots ever turned out of Penn State. Loeffler is a guard. He can drop them in.from the corners with deadly accuracy. Ex-captain Will Play There is also former Captain Lou Reilly '29, a center, six feet three or four, who used to play for Penn State with Von Nieda. Reilly is a good, aggressive scrapper and a strong de fensive player. Doe Conn '33, an other scrapper, will probably play at forward, while Jack Fletcher '35 will be a guard replacement. Former Captain Walt Moser '33, a guard, will also be here. Pete Stuart and Ed Lee will referee the game, while Paul A. Mitten '3l, former bas ketball manager, will take charge of the Alumni team. There will not be any bleachers erected downstairs. Spectators should retain hall of their ticket stub so that they can go out and come in down stairs after the game for the dance.
