Freshmen Revealed as Capitalists In Survey of 'Corner' Prosperity In a financial survey conducted by a COLLEGIAN stall member Sunday night in tile Corner Room the sur prising fact arose that "Prosperity is just around the 'Corner'." Fifty-seven students, when ques tioned, admitted that they had, alto gether,. $369.23. The freshmen, most of whom had just been home over the week-end, led the upperclasses with the sum of $192.42. One:of them con fessed he had fifty-one dollars along with him while another reluctantly admitted he had forty-seven. At the other end of the scale were two fresh men with a total cash complement of twenty-three cents and one who showed four cents. Or all the upperclassmen who ask ed in what booth these affluent fresh men were sitting, the junior seemed the most interested. The third year men, seven of them, had only sixteen dollars and ninety-three cents. This was better, in proportion, than the seniors, thirteen of whom had but twenty-eight dollars and six cents. You can compare these thirteen sen iors with the nine freshmen who had nearly two hundred dollars, and the fourteen sophomores with $125.55. The eleven co-eds questioned were only able to raise five dollars and thirty cents. Three of them were to gether, no men around, and these had three dollars and forty-three cents, STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1935 Author of 'Lathe May Attend P Fred Ballard, author of -"Ladies of the Jury," will be in the audience Saturday when the Penn State Play ers produce his play, according to a letter receiTed here yesterday. Ballard, the author of six Broad way hits, wrote from his home at Pe terborough, New Hampshire, com mending the Players on the quality of their productions and promising to attend the performance of his court room comedy hit. "I am glad the Penn State Players are going to produce my 'Ladies of the Jury,'" Ballard wrote. "I have heard many fine things about the Nixon Advocates 3-Point Program Speaker Suggests Acceptance Of Life, Positive Faith, Work as Creed. "I will accept life as I find it and make the most of it," was the first article of a creed suggested by Dr. .Tustin W. Nixon, pastor of the Brick Presbyterian church, Rochester, N. Y., in his chapel address, "A Work ing Program for Living Today," in Schwab auditorium Sunday morning. Dr. Nixon divided people into those who accept life and those who run away from it. These latter, he said, are divided into the romahticists, or those who live in the past, and intro verts, or those who indulge in ex cesses to escape realities. There is also another group, he said, who re fuse to face the problems of life, and they are the idealists, who live in a world of make-believe. In his second article of faith, Dr. Nixon said, "I will do something use ful and .well. There is something useful for each of.us to do. We must respect ourselves and respect our work. Lord Salisbury said, 'Find the biggest thing..in your .generation ,and line up with, it. Tl r will,le a man , of % positive.faith Weiirlo:4 ' t ower." If yetfhiiiie doubts; remein• ber that doubt is the pFeliminarS , state and faitli the ilrivinenower." Concluding his address, Dr. Nixon 'said, "Go out into the world of men and women, with faith. And You Will make the world of our children a•bet ter world than we have inherited trim our lathers." College Offers 2 New Engineering Courses At the requests of .the Pennsylva nia Sewage Works association and the Pennsylvania Water Works, the department of civil engineering will open two new short courses in the chemistry and bacteriology of algae control, and hydraulic measurements, which will be held from April 1 to 6. Because of limited accommodations, cnrollinent will not exceed fifteen in each course. Applicants who are not accepted this year Will be given pref erence next year. The work is •ex pected to be of service in assisting plant operators. to meet the increas ing demand for higher standards of water sewage treatment., in the in terest of public health. which leaves one dollar and eighty three cents for the eight escorted. The. individual averages for the freshmen ran to twenty-one dollars and thirty-eight cents. The sopho mores averaged eight dollars and ninety-six cents. The juniors each had two dollars and forty-two cents. The seniors finish it with two dollars. The all-class average hits six dollars and sixty cents. What causes the drop in cash on hand between the freshmen, sopho more, and the upperclasses can be ex plained in several ways. One obvious one would be that the juniors and seniors are nearing the bottom of the pocketbook after their three or four years here. A less obvious one and, likewise, less logical, is that the up perclassmen have become more sen sible. Too many people know them and would be more than willing to touch them for practically any sum. This is an explanation given by one of the seniors who had himself about two dollars. • Just for the sake of comparison the COLLEGIAN staff was canvassed and it was found that six juniors had ten dollars and sixty-five cents, and six sophomoreti had three dollars and fif ty-four cents. The lone senior had a dollar fifty and a phoney check from a friend, .which doesn't count. Neither did the postage stamps and the debts to be collected. of the Airy' ayers' PrOduction Players and I'm sure they'll give the play an excellent „Production. That play has been done by more than fifty 'colleges some of` l the biggest and best in the countr y— so the Penn State Players will have something to shoot at.

Anti-War; Strike Set for April 12 Plans for tocall Participation In Protest Against Jingo Activities. Tentative. Plans for local pirticipation in the nation-wide student, strike against. war on Friday, April 12, at 11 o'- clock are still nebul us, although cer tain campus group are reported as preparing a orogen in denunciation of Fascism, hnperittlism, and com pulsory military ti lining.

In a similar strike last year, 25,- 000 students in American colleges pledged support to anti-war agencies, and this number is expected to be quadrupled this year: American im perialism is to be the particular ob ject of attack in the demonstrations, which last year resulted in bloody riots at some of the eastern schools, including New York Univeriity. William Randolph Hearst has been selected as a: focal point fou the at tack because of his jingoistic activi ties and his attacks on student or ganizations and professors urging pacifism. Other points to be raised by strike leaders concern increased mili tary budgets, including a $4,000,000 appropriation for R. 0. T. C.; recent decisions by the Supreme Court af fecting conscientious objectors, and the possibility of universal military conscription. The organizations which are spon soring the strike are tha National Council of Methodist Youth, the Mid dle Atlantic division of the Inter- Seminary Movement, the National Student League, the Student League for Industrial Democracy, and the. American Youth Congress. Groff Returns From Study Trip in Florida Dr. G.

B. Morgan, emin ent psychologist of Northwestern University," according to Elizabeth Walker, Pittsburgh Press Sunday supplement hack. The women play dumb to make the men feel superior. For so long had this been a courtship pattern that it is amazing the flood of indignation this roused on the part of co-ed. Per haps it is the national disclosing of secret each woman holds fast, thinks it is her own device and ap plies it. The editor of The Daily North western doesn't believe that the aver age college man is intelligent enough to appreciate an intellectual girl and Miss Isabel Mulligan, the 1934 beauty queen of Northwestern is of the opin ion that if women play dumb it is because they don't know any better. If the theory of Professor Morgan holds, the co-eds here must play pretty dumb to be dumber than the Men on this campus. Then again, they may not even get a chance to display intelligence or dumbness.

Paul Selsom, of the depart ment of history and political scienue, spoke Thursday night before a din ner meeting of the Rotary and Ki wanis clubs of Sunbury on "The. United States in World Affairs." Ignorance Only chologist Asserts Most men arc blessed with a dubious gift of gab. The girl has to mutely nod her head, now and then add a yes or no—and shut up. What can she do? If she voices an opposite opinion, he thinks she is overbearing. If she calmly acquieees, she is playing dumb to satisfy the suspecting male. If the man doesn't talk and she tries to keep the ball roll ing, she is professing to be intellec tual. An intelligent, that is, truly in_ tellectual girl cannot play. dumb. Is it dumbness to listen? That, accord ing to many speakers I have heard on personality, is an ability acquired by a person who is intelligent. If a girl tries to flaunt her intelli gence, then do as Mr. Morgan has suggested, give her an I. Q. examina tion. It is only a dumb man who can't appreciate an intelligent girl. If a man is dumb, the co-ed, if she likes the man and she is sensible, will, out of politeness, play dumber and ten chances to one lie is so dumb he won't know the difference— I have yet to meet an intelligent woman who will hide her intelligence before an intellectual man. But, if she does and he likes it he is what I term u foul, not an intellectual. PRICE FIVE CENTS the class of '37 will be George M. th, Locust Lane. Frederick L. Young, t V.
