Editor This Issue__ Mows Editor This Johnson Brenneman '37 E. Townsend Swaim '37 Friday, September 27, 1935 PENN STATE IN CHINA Chapel this Sunday should be better attended than the usual Sunday services because of two reasons. The first reason is because it will be "Penn State in China Sunday," and the second, because Dr. T. Z. Koo, vice president of the World's Student Christian Federation, will be the speaker. Of Dr. Hoe, Dr. John 11. Mott has said: "He is one of the most lucid, convincing, and impressive Orien tal speakers I have ever heard." Of Penn State in China, the COLLEGIAN cannot say Penn State in China was organized in 1911, and is a student enterprise under the inspiration and in re sponse to the challenge of George W. "Daddy" Groff 'O7l It is one of the traditions of Penn State, unbroken and increasing in interest for a quarter of a century. The bonds between Penn State and Lingnan Uni versity are the best embodiments of the Penn State spirit. The present student body should feel respon sible to keep this worlc going on much more heavily than ever because of the long-standing 'tradition, and because four Penn State students, two men and two women, have just landed in China to attend Lingnan University as exchange students. PROSPERITY NOTE Soph .Hop deficit 1934 Soph Hop deficit 1935 THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT Student Tribunal will watch the enforcement of freshman customs this year very closely and, if it finds that the customs in general are being followed, will lift them gradually, should be well, received by the freshmen. If they co operate with the Student Tribunal their customs will soon disappear. However, should they decide that they are smart enough not to wear their customs and get away with it, they will probably find themselves wearing their dinks and black socks late next spring. COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED' by the COLLEGIAN from many golfing fans that courtesy on the liaise has died on the fairway between No. 1 and No. 2. Undoubtedly, it should be revived immediately. Strangely enough the complaints have been mostly about upperclassmen, and in one sad case. about the head of a school. Where has Penn State's famous cour te'ry gone? The COLLEGIAN admits that it is most irk ing to have to stagnate behind a slow-moving foursome, bit it also feels that even that is better than driving past them without asking their permission. Certainly, it is safer. COOPERATION NECESSARY FOR MAINTAINING LENIENCY Now that the Interfraternity Council and W. S. G. A. have substituted a more lenient dating rule for co eds to supplant the old rule not allowing women in men's fraternity houses, the COLLEGIAN feels that it is neces sary to make a plea to all women students to-obey this rule and its specifications regarding hours and the num ber of couples that must be present. Because our stu dents have charge of the student government, dating rules on this campus are very lenient, especially when they are compared with the rules now in existence on many other campuses, a fact which few seem to retilize. Any tendency to think present rules harsh can soon be checked by such comparison. This rule is on trial, and it is up to the co-eds and the fraternities whether or not it will be made more severe in the future. It is unfair for a few to break the rule and have the entire student body suffer the consequences. Women living downtown are subject to the same rules as those on the campus. Complaints have been made that they have been disregarding the W. S. G. A. hours for co-eds during the week, and heated discus sions are being heard among the campus•women. With the way women are spread out due to the crowded con ditions on the campus, it is a difficult task for W. S. G. A. to wield its stick everywhere. , With such abrogation of the rules, the natural outcome will be more severe penalties; the only way to cope with such offenses. The main plea is cooperation. CAMPUSEER Hypnotism . Herm Hail, local hypnotizer, Wizard of Oz, and general dispenser of black magic and sorcery in these parts, has been at it again. Tuesday afternoon -he placed Selma Greenberg, a freshwoman, in a trapce and instructed her to perform certain actions after awakening when he pronounced the mystic word. Namely, she was to slap Hank Miller '36 on or about the face 'and then throw her arms around Harm's neck. The hypnotism was performed very furitively and nobody knew about it except all the Phi Sigma Delta bros, excluding Hank. Everything clicked just like the Penn State back field in a triple reverse. In fact, it clicked too well. Selma was perfectly normal after coming out of the trance. That night Herm pronounced "abra raclabra" before the assembled multitude, but Selma reached for the floor and -planted a haymaker on Hank's jaw that would have hurt Louis more than Baer did in four rounds. Hank's face went white and his knees buckled. Then she planted a passionate kiss on Berm's lips and began to cry as she snapped out of the spell. Herm has decided not to hypnotize anyone for a +++ Mustache Having 'already died four times during rehearsals of "The Last Mile," the Penn State Players Dads' Day show, Allan Powell '37 wasn't averse to making the supreme sacrifice again. "Powell," said Prank Neusbaum, director of the prison drama, "you'll have to clean off your upper lip for art's sake. Convicts aren't allowed to cultivate shrubbery." (Corning from Frank, this was quite a request since he is a gardener on this score himself.) Allan, shocked, instantly demurred. "Why, that'll be a gigantic sacrifice!" he said. Glancing at the few hairs in question, Frank observed: "Not so gigantic." MEM No Smoke: The Mad Vernik, Froth editor, was strolling .down the campus towards the main gate about dusk the other evening. He sighted a freshman approach ing him. As the green-topped one neared, the fragrance of a ten-cent cigar that he had been given at a D. U. rushing dinner reached the Vernik nostrils and caused a malevolent plot to be hatched in the alleged yernik brain. "What's the idea of smoking on the campus?" Jules demanded in tones calculated to':lntimidate the lad, "Didn't yOu read rule 4, page 25.0 f your Bible? Drop that cigar and be on your way, son." Not knowing Vernik as we do, the,frosh obeyed. But he did more than just drop the stogie on the pavement. His Boy Scout training crashed through and he ground the fire from the weed under the leather heel of his brown suede oxfo&l. This hap pened before Jules had even a chance to bend his knees to retrieve it. Frustrated, Jules shuffled on with the facial ex pression of one who has just seen a grey-haired old woman slowly starve to death. "Close, but no cigar," he muttered through clenched teeth. +++ Campusettes: The Maniac has been doing Phil Evans a grave injustice. The reason' he has so many keys on his vest chain is so that they may serve as a breast plate against assassin's bullets . . .

Education Leaders Hear State Officials Every county in the state is repre sented in the enrollment of the: 150 supervisors of adult education and recreation in the national emergency program of the state in the first , state-wide Emergency Adult Educe-. tion Leadership Training Institute firhich is being conducted for three weeks at the College. During the course of study several state 'workers connected with relief administration haile 'addressed in the classes. Among those who came from Harrisburg were: Miss Helen Chris tianson, Nursery School Bureau; El mer L. Manning, state supervisor of recreation; Dr.' Harvey R.

John T. McCormick, President David F. Kapp, Cashier CIIVEMA NIA Wallace „Beery and Jackie ,Cooper are again teamed up in the MGM picture which opens at the Cathaum tomorrow. The stor x , "o!.shangh .nessy's Boy," is one of the love of a father for his son, and the setting is , a circus. Beery las one of this finest roles as "Windy," a confident, easy-going, swaggering lion tamer. Jackie :Coop er is .his son. ;Leone Maricle, Broad way actress, makes her screen debut in the role of Cora, "Windy'i" neu rotic wife. From the standpoint of a circus spectacle, the picture is the equal of anything the screen. has ever 'seen. One of the most spectacular shots in the show is achieved' when Wallace Beery puts a' tiger on an elephant's back and puts the two jungle .beasts through a •ring of fire. Claude Rains ,again gives one .of his eerie characterizations in the pic ture which plays at the Nittany .on Monday and Tuesday. It is "The Clairvoyant," and Rains is assisted by Fay Wray, Jane :Baxter, and Ben Field. In. "The Clairvoyant," Rains ap pears as the great Maximus ' a vaude ville mind reader touring the English provinces with his wife. He is sud denly seized with the power of true clairvoyancy. Action throughout the picture is fast and furious. The story is based on a novel by Ernst Lothar. Hooking up the superlative danc ing abilities of Fred Astaire and the very good talents of Ginger Rogers, with the music and lyrics of Irvtag, Berlin, made the show,' "Roberta," one of the Biggest hits of last year. Now these three are again together, this time in the RHO musical com edy, "Top Hat." It plays at the Cath-. num on Monday and Tuesday. The supporting cast consists of Ed word EVerett Horton, Helen Broder ick, Erik Rhodes, and Eric Blare.' The story of "Top Hat" is sufficiently light and absorbing, the ideal sort of vehicle for a musicaj comedy which is concerned only with sparkling en tertainment.. It concerns Jerry Travers, Amer ican dancing star, and Dale Tremont, a beautiful young country woman, who meet in romantic and unconven tional circumstances in Italy and in London. Miss Rogers' dancing is consider ably improved in this show. Previ ouily, she has seemed a little shaky and a little too careful., This is un derstaadaßle. enough, , dancing , : ,with; Astaire. But in this show, she semis to have gotten over her shakiness and becomes a real partner for Astaire, remaining ,her peppery, titan-haired self. The various song and dance num bers all are novel and brilliantly ex ecuted. Because of the color of its setting and the flact that it is hailed as a successor to the "Carioca" and the "Continental," the feature dance, the "Piccolino," deserves special men tion. A dance of haunting Italian rhythm, it is done With superb grace by Astaire and Miss Rogers, against a background embracing canals with drifting gondolas. An ensemble ar rangement of the number is also dime by . a large mixed chorus. Other bril liant numbers are: "No Strings," "Cheek to Cheek," "Top Hat," and "Isn't This a Loyely Day?.."
