Because of the Hearst and other capitalistic papers, they have been led to believe that these denionstrations are-held in memory of some iu'ssian revolutionary martyr. They are also led to believe that these demonstrations amount to minor revolutions which are, of course, led by Communists im- ported from Ruisia I)sr ,the Daily Worker, the New Masses, And . the ; Ness Theatre Not enough of thein know that the May Day demon- strations in this country are held in commemoration of the peaceful strike of 80,000 Chicago workers on May 1, 1886 for 'an. eight-hour day; and also in conmemora- tion of the death of six workers who were murdered by police while picketing the plant of the MbCormick- Harvester company several days before May 1, and of those hung several days later Since that date May Day demonstrations have be- come larger and larger and have spread to every nation in the world as a salute of the workers all over the world to American workers. The capitalists have tried everything in their power to put an end to these celebrations, to divert them into other channels by trying to establish all• sorts of useless national holidays on the same (late Germany's Minister of Propganda Goebbels has announced that in this year's celebration that country will not be devoted to the glorification of labor but rather to a smashing national demonstration of grati- tude to Adolf Hitler for his re-introduction of conscrip- tion and a glorification of the army." This is a typical attempt of the capitalist to divert the workers from their original purpose May Day demonstrations would undoubtedly be better controlled and fewer heads would be broken if the workers, who certainly have a right to such a demonstration, arc allowed to parade without first hav- ing to fight every reactionary and reactionary group to get a parade permit and then having to march with a police guard for every man in the parade. IT IS INTERESTING to watch the results of the "whispering campaign" conducted by several of the town's big business men and "People Who Think." They would hang, tar and feather, and boil in oil, .the btu- dents who organized the recent anti-war strike. We understand that one of them was almost injured on Holmes field during the Great War HIGHEST COMMENDATION SHOULD go Profs Donald S. Cryder, Harold C. Urey, Merrell R. Fenske and their colleagues, of the School Of Chemistry and Physics, for their most recent contribution to science and the College in reducing the cost of producing heavy water and in developing a 'new method of distilling it. WARM WEATHER BRINGS the same old com plaints about the lack of sufficient tennis courts and the students who are selfish enough and ignorant enough to use the few courts there, are when they are wet Assurance For a long time now we've been gointi around worrying. Not too seriously, you mast understand, but nevertheless with a sort of snickering delight that everything in this country wasn't going as well as it might be. We kept hearing things about wars, peace conferences, steel strikes, Communists, gigantic governmental loans, and such stuff, and it bothered us very nicely. But no more. Now we find out that everything's all right, and we can't be patriotically bothered about the fate of the country any mare. Our old pal, Franklin Delano Banner, local pressman, was down to Washington a while ago for the Press Conference, no less. It is he that has de stroyed our fears. For the local Rotary speaker re ports tl,it all is well. He went down there, he did, and he looked things over. Then lie came back, and it's just liko lie told one of his pals the other. night: "Yes, sir, old man," Mr. Banner enunciated at that time, "this N.R.A. has revolutionized Washing ton. Everything there is moving. The capital city is a veritable beehive of industry." So you sea, everything must be o.k. in the coun try. We have Mr. Banner's word for it. And now we've got to look for something new to worry about. Formality A couple of gentlemen 'named Thurman Chain Tejan and Richard Aiken Sigel were down to the city over the week-end, and they bad quite a Lime of it. Saturday night, complete with a girl apiece, they drifted momentarily into the Hotel Walton bar, hav ing the general notion that it might be nice to absorb a drink before wandering on towards a bigger and better Philadelphia Saturday night. So they had a couple of drinks, and then called for the bill. It came, and Tejan glanced at it casually. Then he stared, and his hair turned gradually gray while he looked. There, firm, unflinching, was the figtireL‘-$.1.00. The boys had a conference. It developed early in the meeting that they didn't have nearly the re quired amount. They called the manager. He was nice. "You boys just wash your*own dishes and we'll call it square—we don't want to embarrass you too much. It's just a formality, you know." _Richard E. Lewis '37 .1. Kenneth Reaver '37 To the kitchen the lads trudged. They doffed their coats deftly—one gent washed, the other wiped; outside their dates waited patiently. .Pretty soon the local gentry were throtigli; They put their coats on, and casually, almost jauntily, grabbed their dates and swaggered tofreedeni. ' About Town & Campus: Paux.Pas of the week: Jack Platt sang an Irish tune for Mrs. Whitmore's guests the other eve. After it a prof's wife said she liked it—that she had sung It while in High School. "Yeah," Platt offered, "It is a real old song, isn't it?" C. Zahn were not pleased to meet Chick Werner at 2:30 A. 30. Saturday ... And this seems to he our last column—in fact we were supposed to write our last one a couple of weeks ago, but, as we never get around to anything on time, it took us until now to even finish this screwey job ... We should cry in our beer, but we don't feel that way, and anyhow it's Sunday night and there's no beer, so we'll merely wander vaguely off, and let a new Maniac worry you pepole. And if we don't get knifed sometime during the next week or so, we'll be happy to merely remember this column business under the general heading of Fun in College. So long, muggs SMOOTH!

This article deals with the necessity for a collection room. The new library buildings which have been constructed at various 'col leges and universities recently have included within the walls certain', rooms or halls which are called spe cial collection rooms. In addition to the collection of books and periodic als for general cultural reading, ev ery college library of any size should have, and most college libraries do have, a few special collections which may or may not have endowment funds looking to their future growth. Such collections are frequently of some special value, they cater to some special interest or subject and are the treasures of the library. They are frequently the only available col lections on certain subjects in large areas and scholars come from far and near. They give color, culture, and richness to the library as a whole. The College library has a number of such notable collections: the Bea ver collection of Pennsylvania one of the largest in the state; the Treas •urc Collection, including many first editions, autographed copies, valuable and unreplaceable volumes; the Sparks Collection of books, pictures, printed matter, etc., on .American his tory; the Bible Collection, one of the most notable in the state, with copies in a dozen different languages and with imprint dates running from 1500 up to recent years; the Penn State Collection which includes the pub lished writings of faculty and stu dent body and alumni, the records and manuscripts, memoirs, pictures, printed matter pertaining to the his tory of the College, and others. Ad equate special rooms are needed. Dr. Bernreuter Given Honor by Association Prof. Robert G.
