"Our real• danger today is that in our 'attempts 'to make a speedy re covery we will fail to realize that we need to make certain reforms. We are playing on the brink of faseism." This was the statement of the Rev. William E. Eroll, pastor of the Ar lington Avenue Presbyterian church, East Orange, N. J., speaking at the regular chapel services in Schwab au ditorium Sunday morning. • "We are living in a period of great change," the speaker said, "but we are not so much concerned with what the changes are as With the attitude of the people toward the situation." Live By The Bible Two groups were cited by Rev. Kroll as holding up the progress of recovery. The first, he said, are those who believe that nothing that is new can be good. The others, he continued,'are the people who think the world began when they•were born. "If we had been living closer to the teachings of our Bible," Rev. Kroll pointed out, "we wouldn't believe that progress goes on whether we do any thing or not. If we study it we learn that progress comes only from suf fering and human strife." Pointing out that we are suffer ing-because of a lack of motive and vision, not from a lack of brain-pow er, Rev. Kroll concluded, by saying: "Those who will give up self to some honest pursuit and follow the guid ance of Jesus will get in their hearts a sense of a living God. He will-re alize that the things he is battling for are his. That is - the only way that spiritual revival will 'come for this generation." 5 Students Admitted To Infirmary in Week Five students have been admitted to the College hospital since April 30. •H.

Rain, Snow Hems in Students, Queens in Prom of Yesteryear With all the bright sunny days that have been lacking the past few weeks, including the stormy Prom week-end, one is reminded of the proms of yes teryear which were none too sunny. Rain seems to rear its ugly head many times and on many occasions here. Those of us who can remem ber away back there in '27 or '2B, be fore there were suchthings as Demo cratic landslides, and can remember swimming to Junior Prom in' tuxes and•evening gowns, can relate to the softies of today a rainy week-end what was a rainy week-end. No one had the slightest inclina tion to think of a storm interfering with the Prom's festivities. 'Who thought 'of storms with such dance attractions as Jean Goldkette and Jan Garber, or was it -Fletcher Hen derson and Ted Weems? (Those were the.days when one "tripped the light fantastic" to two bands.) Prom queens poured in all day, rain poured all night, and "thirst quench ers" poured all week-end. Scranton, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York, and. Minorsville—all were represent ed. 'Everyone was set for a grand and glorious Week-end. But alas arid alack: •Along, about STATE COLLEGE, PA., TO' Glee Club :iginstrels To Present Skits, ,bkes, Melodies in Show .

Saturday morn ing, Willard P. Lewis, College libra rian, announced. Honorable Mentioni Listed The judges' decision .was rendered on the basis of discriniihating selec tion of books and the students' knowledge of books and their con tents.

' Three .honorable• mention awards were Made. For, his large and well selected library, Hans Janssen '36, was awarded honorable mention, but because of his professional experi ence, the committee did not deem. it fair to permit his entry to compete with those of other. students.

Grier '35, with a selection of 'books on the theater and dramatic literature, were the other recipients of honorable mention. • The prize-winning book collections will be on display in the windows of the two book stores which donated the prizes, from Thursday until next Monday. Librarian Lewis said that the donors of the prizes had agreed to make the •competition an , annual contest.

Ed ward X. Hibshman, alumni secretary, and Coach Bob Higgins will attend the meeting where they will show mo tion pictures and slides of college activities. 7 o'clock Friday night the dilema ap peared. Down it came, torrents of it, followed by snow and heavy winds. It left in its wake telegraph poles strewn about the highways and pud dles so deep that one' had to cross College avenue in a rowboat. Penn State was literally cut oil from the rest of the world—even Ty rone couldn't be reached. And the worrying commenced. Young girls, old girls, freshmen, upperclassmen, all had one thought in mind—bow to keep papa and mama from worry ing. But amidst all this chaos, a Mes siah arose and said, "Fehr not, my children, all is not lost. We have fine radio connections installed here. Why not'broadcast the news home and tell the folksies that all is well?" •Hundreds and hundreds of names went over the air in the space of the next hour, and hundreds and hun dreds of maternal hearts were set at ease. The honor of Junior Prom tow ered once again. But the real jolt came when one finally didAet to the Prom, after all this hub-sub and excitement, only to hear the dance band open Ivith• that once p o'p ul'a r melody,. "Stormy Weather." SDAY, MAY 7, 1935 costume, brief and unusual.

The Eight Singing Girls, including the two Peg Giffens, Doris Thomas, Clara Tones, Jane Parker, Mary Jane Thompson, Anna Strong, and Bess Edelblute, will accompany the soloists. One of the high spots on the program will be a number by the Varsity Male Quartet, consisting of 'Marvin Eshel man, first tenor, Ebert Badger, second tenor,' Jack Bowles, baritone, and Fred Getz, bass. The sixteen-piece orchestra, direct ed by Professor Hummel Fishburn, of the department of music, will pro vide the musical background. The Glee Club will sing a special arrange ment of "Don't Logic Surprised," and will close the show with a rousing chorus of "Cut Dat Melon." Tickets for the show will be on sale all week at the Treasurer's office, and at the Corner on Thursday night.

Beam said that it is especially hard to get girlS for this contest, either due to a lack of girls who can milk or to shyness.

Trophies for the contests, which will be judged by breeders and dairy extension specialists from all parts of the State, are kept is the trophy cases in the Dairy building, while individu al winners will get either a replica or a medal.
