Campus Honor Societies
Perform Triple Function
Eight campus honor societies exist
for the promotion of the Penn State
spirit, for the maintenance of the
Penn State honor code, and for the
preservation of the Penn State tra
ditions.
The highest honor which an under
graduate may attain is election to
Lion's Paw, a senior society. Lion's
Paw was founded in 1007, and has
as its purpose the furtherance of the
best interests of the College.
Membership is limited to fifteen
outstanding seniors: The society is
not necessarily conspicuous in its ef
forts toward advancing the ideals of
the - College, but seeks to accomplish
results .. .by directing and assisting all
organizations which are concerned in
the welfare of the institution.
-Other upperclass societies are Skull
and Bones and Parmi Nous, whose
memberships are 'composed of prom
inent seniors and juniors. Athletes,
sports managers, and other upper
classmen prominent in extra-curricu
lar activities are elected to the so
cieties, which are identified by dis
tiriguishing hats.'
These organiations have as their

ers, as well as men chosen from other

State Closes Doors
Before College
Term Beginf
Penn State will-face. the new ace
' deinic year on September 18. with its
full quota of 1400 freshmen, a sur
plus of more than 600 applicants who
could not be accomodated, and a wait
ing list comprised of those who were
willing to take . the chance that there
might be room for them if some of
the 1400 changed their -mind about
going to college. i .
For the first time in four years,
although entering classes each year
have taxed the capacity-of the Col
lege, Registrar William S. Hoffman
found it necessary to close the door
to further, applicants before the open
ing of school. -
Nearly three weeks before classes
were slated to begin, Registrar Hoff
man announced that he had admitted
the 1400 set by the Board of Trustees
as a limit. At this time 2000 applicv
tions had been received
. and 200 were
informed it would be useless for them
to apply Because of restricted facili
ties.

THE 'PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
Standing in
The Wings
-By J. EKING KENNEDY
Beginning with.
.this issue of the
COLLEGIAN, J. Ewing "Sock" Ken
edy will write a weekly column en
titled "Standing In the IVings" deal
ing with the theatre in'gencral. Mr.
Kennedy's long experience in the the
atre both here and in New York and
his celever pen will enable COLLEGIAN
readers to keep up on what's going
on behind the footlights. At present
Mr. Kennedy is winetnebr of the Col
lege extension division in dramatics
and director of the Penn State Thes
pian musical comedieb.-,Ed. Note.
Summer has folded, the cow-barn
theatres have folded, and the actors
are folding their tents and silently
stealing home to Brthidway. The Pas
ture Playhouses were numerous and
sundry and the new shows tried out
were many—but the..ones that will
see the light on Broadway will not
be more than three, according to cur
recent reports. Movie 'scouts from
every company journeyed into many a
fragrant meadow throughout the sum-
mer but not one show did they see
that could even 'be adapted for the
screen—highly indignant that the au
thors have- spurned their Hollywood
gold the movie companies will now,
more than ever before, produce their
own shows on Broadway.
All the - producers are looking for
ward to a bigger and better season
this year except Vinton Freedley.
"Anything Goes" is the reason that
Mr. Freedley can not honestly hope
to have a better j•ear next year. This
musical is the only show on the stem
that has made the visiting firemen
come across with 4.40 all through the
summer—it is still going strong and
will go on tour when the, folks from
the hinter land get tired coming into
N Y C to see it
Looks as though the Guild learned
a lesson from their musical flop
"Parade" last season' and' have pulled
in some real musicaCtalent on their
new "Porgy, and Bess". ' With a
Gershwin'score, the'original script of
Porgy adapted to
. ra musical, and

song and dance team in the business,

musical romance "Beloved Rogue". It
will probably have a new name by the
time it arrives. This one played to
sixty thousand people in a week at
the St. Louis Stadium this summer—
and they know their musical shows
out there (also their ball clubs) 'cause
they have been getting the best for
ten summers.
Watch Eleanor Powell in MGM's
"Broadway Melody of 1936". Far and
away the tops of women tap dancers,
it has taken Hollywood five years to
find her. She has learned most of her
stuff from Bill Robinson—and, fellows,
if you're looking for a Dancing Mas
ter—just look up the Mayor of Har
lem. To get back to Miss Powell,
REG has offered her a hundred grand
to make a picture with, their ace, Fred
Astaire, and rumor hath it that Fred
has offered to put . up fifty thousand
dollars out of his own pocket you
get some idea of what we mean when
we say 'good dancer.'
Norm Holland and Sylvia Shindler
(St. Louis Blues 'singer of last fall's
Thespian show) who kept their wed
ding last spring a secret despite the
efforts of COLLEGIAN newshounds, will
not return to the campus this fall.
Norm will go to N Y U and Sylvia
will sing her St. Louis Blues in the
kitchen ... Grace Baer,-Ken Holder
man, and Bill Edwards of Thespian
fame are now directing dramatics on
Uncle Sam's Emergency Education
program down Reading way ... Bob
Bassett who wrote most of the score
for last year's Thespian show, had
that good old knot tied after a house
party in Wisconsin this summer—
Penn State will have to Wok to its
house party laurels ... Jules Vernik
of "Peace on Earth" fame, went in
for mechanical rabbits on the board
' walk'at Ocean City, Md. this summer
. . . the local dramatic department
produced twenty plays in six weeks
this summer—ought to be some kind
of a record. don't you think ... and
it.seems rather unfair that a brand
new columnist should have to write
his first offering to the accompani
ment of Franky Hillgartner's soup
cooling baritone in the next office.
