Janeway Speaks
In Sunday Chapel
States World Disorder Caused
By Failure To Follow
Doctrines,of Christ .
Growth in the knowleqg,e of Jesus
Christ and application of that knowl
edge was ufged by Dr. Frank L. Jane
way at the. opening of the regular
chapel services in Schwab auditorium
Sunday. •
"The Wdrld needs men who have
mastered a knowledge of Jesus," Dr.
Janeway said, citing our failure to
apply the .doctrines. of Christ as a
cause of world disorder and the pres
ent threat to world peace.
Dr. Janeway, praising the beauty
and opportunities at Penn State, told
his.hearers to appreciate the advan
tages here.' But knowledge of Christ'
is even more important than any gain
ed in college courses, he explained.
Outlining a three-point program
whereby:knowledge might be mas
tered, Dr. 'Janeway advocated study
of , the biography of Christ as the
first point of his program.
"The second way 'for' the mastery
of Christian' doctrine , is to, learn ; the
teachings • of Jesits," Dr.. JaneWaY
said., "Know him as a teacher; gain
the. lindirledgei that Jesus ; knew." The

the cards that lists a girl who most
nearly approximates the type desired.
The applicant is given the girl's tele
phone number and all that is neces
sary is to get in touch with the girl.
Do not figure, as several of the un
initiated seem to, that this is a gag.
One person .said that she didn't think
anybody came up , to try to geta date.
That is decidedly wrong, It is hard
to meet the girl you would like"' to
take, especially when .you're a fresh
man. Thin date bureau scheme pro
vides a way. In recent years it has
won a wide following in the colleges
of the . country. Some places it has
so grown that a staff of secretafles

the period preceding CoLtecimr'dance

Bands,lnferiori
Says Christy:,
Lynn Christy '35, manager-drummer
with the, Penn Statesmen, revealed
some. sidelights on European dance
audiences, in a recent interview with
the COLLEGIAN. Christy, whose hand
played on trans-Atlantic steamships
during the summer, made a three
weeks' tour of England, Scotland,
France, Germany, and 'Belgium, be
tween sailings;
. ,
"The EuroPenn audience' demands a
fast jig-type' style of • dance music.
The, slow fox4rot, so popular on the
American'eampus, has notlet receiv
ed a warns welcome in Britain or on
the Continent. European dancers
work at their dancing- seriously and
furiously. It is not - at all uncom
mon to see .well-dressed crowds in
I cafes and' restaurants Wheeling about
at a terrific speed, regardless of
streaming perspiration and caroming
couples. What ive would 'class as an
old-fashioned two step,' played with an
almost military swing ; is an accepted
favorite' in the' mirrored night clubs
of Frnace." .
In Scotland, too, Christy declared,
fest rhythms are in demand. There,
even the waltz is speeded up.so that
the dancer Must use a jerky hop, in
order to follow the rhythm. ..
Concerning* foreign „dance. bands,
Christy said that, exeept .for a few
outstanding English groups, the Eu
ropean band is decidedly inferior to
the American dance orchestra.
Chrfsty, whose' band has been re
hearsing strenuously (and so secret
ly that even Scooparino has been un
able to crash a practice. session)
since the first day of Freshman Week
in preparation for their 1935.36 .debut
at the
_Collegian Frolic on OCtober
11, promises to uncork- one of the
smoothest dance clubs that has graced
this campus for many a year.
!Distributes Paniphlets
Many of the 129 research projects

results 'given, and, practical applica
tions indicated by twelve bulletins
published recently by .the station.
More than 42,000 copies of the twelve

Vernik, Binns Get

8 Freshmen Get Parts
Out of 16 in Cast
Of "Last Mile"
Neusbaum Commends
Production Candidates
Selected from an estimated group
of sixty aspirants for parts in "The
Last Mile," Jules Vernik '36 and Ed
ward T. Binns '3B will play the lead
ing 'roles in the much-discussed John
Wexley all-male drama which the
Penn State Players will present in
Schwab auditorium Dad's Day, Satur
day, October 12.
..The cast, selected by Frank S.
Neusbahm, associate director of the
division of dramatics, contains eight
freshmen, three sophomores, two jun
iors, and three seniors. "The general
calibre of those trying out," Director
Neusbaum stated, "was quite good."

Vcrnik, the strike leader of last sea
son's dramatic "Peace on Earth," por
trays the domineering killer, John
Mears, leader of the death house mu
tiny, while Binns plays the part of
Bohn Walters, the kid gone wrong
who must pay the extreme penalty,
but who can't quite believe it's true.
Binns played the role of the college
professor in the Players' anti-war
production last spring.
The other inmates of the death
house in this grim prison drama are
characterized by Allan W. Powell '37,
Thomas Francis '39, Harold Brenner

Renowned Critics Praise 'Bell'
• As Excellent Literary Magazine
"Two copies of the Old
have been sent me . . It, is, the best
college literary magazine of which I
have any knowledge."
This letter, signed by H. E. Lob
dell, Assistant Dean at. the Massachu
setts Institute of Technology, is one
of severely recently received by
James Dugan '37, editor of the Belli
Last spring copies' of the magazine
were sent to variou's writers who
were invited to continent upon it.
Replies have been received from
most of them and without exception
they have reacted favorably to the
magazine. Kyle Crichton, Associate
Editor of Collier's, book reviewer for
Life, and reputed to be the author of
the Lest-selling satire, "Redder Than
the Rose," writes concerning the
Bell:
• "The mere fact that there- is any
body alive in a Pennsylvania College
of any sort is enough to startle me,
as an old Lehigh man."
John O'Hara, author of the novel
"Appointment in Samara" says in a
letter addressed to Dugan:
"If you want to quote me you . may
as follows: First off, I will put you
in a tough spot by saying (what I be"-
lieve) that yours is much the best
piece in the issue of the Old Main
Bell which you sent me. Or, rather,

All Freshmen Desiring Excuses
FTom Customs Must

First action on exemptions • for
freshman customs will be taken by
Student Tribunal when it meets in
Room 305, OM Main, Thursday night
at 7:30. The new president, who is
to be elected tonight, will be in charge
of the meeting.
J. Briggs Pruitt '36, president of
the senior class, announced one
change in the rules concerning ex
emptions. All freshmen twenty-one
years of age or over are excused
from customs. Previously it .had
teen announced that twenty-three
was the age limit.
"Only those freshmen who have at
tended other schools where therewere

Since it is'douhtful if action can be

purpose. This, he said, would also
take care of any freshmen who are

In a letter to the local publishing
company which prints the Bell, ROy
Mamma, of a well-known paper com
pany, writes of the magazine's make
up:
"Thanks for the September issue of
the Old Main. Bel!. This is certainly
a swell specimen. In addition to the

high standard for his publication."
In order to interest more students
in submitting manuscripts to the
Bell, Dugan has inaugurated a new

houses at times which coincide with
women's dating hours.
The new ruling is similar to the
code which had been in effect for two
years until last spring. The follow
ing regulations were included in. the
joint agreement:
1. Unchaperoned women may be
present in the social rooms of fra
ternity houses Friday and Saturday
nights until 1 o'clock and Sunday
nights until 10 o'clock, providing
two other couples are present.
2. On all other days, unchaperon

Mester. The agreement is designed to ,
settle the problem of bringing women
into fraternity houses, which was
raised by the abrogation of the pre
vious code last spring for gross vio
lation. An agreement similar to the
one just passed was put into effect
two
years ago. It permitted women
in fraternity houses at hours corres
ponding 'to those in the new ruling.
When the code was suspended, a for
mer ruling, which had permitted
women in fraternity houses only two
hours after meals, automatically went
into effect.
The code, which had been in effect
until last spring, was suspended for
two reasons: first, because members
of chapter houses were ignoring dat
ing hours, as regulated in the code;
and second, during the hours allowed,
men were taking advantage of code
by entertaining parties not assumed
in the agreement. In addition, the
ruling was not enforced, and was not
read to members of the houses, so
that many fraternity men were not
aware of its provisions.
Warnock Issues Statement
The now agreement differs from the
former code in three, major respects.
First, it must he read twice a semes
ter to members and pledges. Second,
women may be present in fraternity
houses during the week only for two
hours after meals, whereas the fer
nier agreement allowed women in fra
ternities until 10 o'clock during week
days. Third, the ruling concerning
applications for new privileges was
not included under the old agreement.
Dean of 'lien Arthur R. Warnock
issued the following statement con
cerning the new code: "This arrange
ment is intended to provide additional
facilities in this town for socially
proper dating. If the entertaining in
the fraternity house can be kept simi
lar to that in the women's dormitory
parlors and in private homes,, it can
serve a useful purpose and reflect
credit on the fraternities. Otherwise,
the agreement will be useless for the
College and its failure may prove dan
gerous to the reputation of the fra
ternities.",
