INC. 420 Modi4on Areoue. New York CRY Nl:lmaging Editor This Issue' News Editor This ____ Friday, October 4, 1935 THE BEER QUESTION In a little moi•e than a month the voting populace of State College will, go to the polls to decide, among . other things, whether or not the sale of beer will be con tinued in this borough. The COLLEGIAN firmly believes that it is the duty of the citizens of State College to see that beer remains in this town. Paradoxically, the COLLEGIAN advances as its reason for this stand the same reason which one of the leading lights of the local W. C. T. U. gives for its. removal, "The people of State College owe it to the state of Pennsylvania to see that the boys and girls have a safe place to go to school." The COLLEGIAN has adopted this stand after. ob serving and analyzing pre-repeal and repeal drinking here and envisioning drinking here should beer be re- In the day of prohibition, drinking here was any thing but uncommon. Prohibition here was just as big a joke as it was in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Al toona. How the College survival that period without a frightful and damaging • scandal.is unknown. Since repeal, the conditions have steadily improved. 'Before repeal, practically the only drink available here was a high-powered Lock Haven concoction known as "Panther Sweat," a pint of which would have killed a panther. There was also available for local consump tion home-brewed Shingletown beer, another dose of poison. Now liquor cannot he purchased in this town as it could before repeal. Bootleggers are unknown. The amount of liquor consumed in State College is negli gible: Beer, however, may be purchased in town, beer that will not result in drunkenness if used moderately, beer that is not dangerous to one's health, beer that does not result in immorality, and beer that is necessary here for the safety and protection of the students. From the rabid drys the COLLEGIAN expects a chorus of indignant protests for that last phrase. How ever, the COLLEGIAN feels certain that any thinking per son, whether he be wet or dry, or indifferent; will war rant that statement after carefully considering the fu ture. The removal of beer here will bring ultimately a condition which will be far worse than the present state of affairs and as bad as the pre-repeal days. It will result in the consumption of more • hard liquor in State College, because it cannot be bought in quantities of less than a pint. And it will also bring about the return of the student and local bootlegger. Bellefonte is thirteen miles away, but there will be many who will prefer to buy rot-gut front a local boot legger to traveling to Bellefonte. And bootleg beer, seldom heard of here now, will return. And after awhile, if beer is removed, an exodus of certain students on week-ends to nearby towns where beer and liquor may be bought, will begin. It will result in trouble for those towns, trouble for the stu dents, and trouble for the College. When students leave to visit some other town on such a week-end, they will spend much more money there than they would if they had stayed here. (A boy will spend fifty cents here on a Saturday night, but if he goes out of town for a Sat urday night it is a sure thing he will probably spend several dollars). Thus, the local merchants will lose some trade. Students who would go out of town to do their drinking would probably drink more at a time than if they might secure beer, and beer only, in State College. And that sort of conduct would lead directly to drunken driving on the highways surrounding this town, endangering not only the students, but other people who travel those roads. This itself should be enough to make the voters of State College realize that beer should he kept in this town. Beer drinking in this town can be controlled if the owners of beer. halls see to it that it is not served to in toxicants and if the upperclassmen see to it that their conduct and the conduct of the underclassmen is with out boisterous singing and talking.

The Universal production, "Diam ond Jim," dealing both with the life of James Buchanan Brady, be-jewel ed super-salesman,' and with the col orful days and nights of the gay nine ties, will play. at, the Cathaum on Sat urday. Edward Arnold, who plays Brady, the purveyor - of railroad • equipment, 'the man who made and lost fortunes again and again in his career, who wore- two million dollars Worth of jewelry and gave -parties which cost a hundred thousand chillers apiece, steals the show; with Jean Arthur and Binnie Barnes, the two women he really loved in the course of his amaz ing career, supporting him. Life on Broadway is one of the phases, but Preston Sturges, in writ ing the script from the magazine story and best-seller by Plirker Mor ell, has not neglected the thrills of those pioneer days. Edward Suther-, land was the director. +++ The hordes of Ray Noble fans around this campus will get a chance ' , to see their idol in pictures for the first time when "The Big Broadcast of 1936" plays at the Cathaum Mon day and Tuesday. The leads in the 'screen play are played by Jack Oakie, Burns and Allen, and Lyda Roberti. But besides the actors, the film fea tures specialties by outstanding stars of the radio, including Ina Ray Hut ton and her all-girl band, very popu lar on this campus and, in fact, wherever there are men—plus . the Vi enna choir boys, who sang in the Ar tists' Course on the campus last win ter, Bing Crosby, Ethel Merman, Amos 'a' Andy, Mary Boland, and Charlie Ruggles, and the clean and .king of the tap dancers, Bill "Bo jangles" Robinson. A lot of • the tunes you have been whistling the past few weeks make up the musical part of the show. Bing Crdsby whistles "I Wished on the Moon," Ethel Merman sings "It's the Animal in Me." Other tunes are "Miss Brown to You," "Double Trouble," and "Why Stars Come Out at Night." Directed by Norman Taurog, with dance ensembles staged by Leßoy Prinz, dance.expert, "The Big Broad cast" is an hilarious romantic com edy, with , most of the =lion laid in the colorful background on a Havana hacienda, the story centers around the experiences Of two radio enter tainers, Acting honors are ilividecl equally among the cast. 33 Studerit Treated At Coritge infirmary Despite prevalence of good weather since the beginning of Freshman Week, more students have been con fined to the infirmary than for the same period last year, during which time the weather was cold and damp.

Crosby and les freres Dorsey on a disc of two of the form- - er's song hits from the picture, "Two' for Tonight," including the title tune and "I Wished on the Moon." Both are typical Crosby numbers, and the Dorsey crew plays them just like that; straight dance jobs with the licks omitted. ,Practically no solos; emphasis on sax action and trom bone. Recommended for fraternities whose dates succumb to the Crosby heart-throb. Decca No. 543 .Dorsey Bros. pop up with a wicked bit of syncopation titled "Tailspin," written by those eminent lads, Frank ie Trumbauer and Jimmy Dorsey. It's hot and swingy without sounding like something played by the Washboard Rhythm Kings, if you get what I mean. The torrid trumpet at the be ginning is just a preliminary for Tom's trombone work, and the disc concludes with some dexterous sax frippery that is downright mean. "Tailspin" is backed by a commercial enough number, "I Got A Feeling You're Fooling," from the "B'way Melody of 'U." Bob Eberle sings. the vocal—but you'll buy the record for the other side principally, so why. go on? Dccca No. HO O * Whiteman kicks through with a brace of pop tunes, employing his usual aggregation of symphonic pro portions. "I'm in the Mood•for Love" is a dance tune par excellence, and a restrained Ramona croons the' vocal. This is coupled by another Oom Paul grooving, "I Feel a Song Coming On," with Ramona and the King's Men handling the vocal right capably. Spe cial mention for the fiddle . section's neat job at the beginning of the num ber. Victor No. 25091 . Dorsey Brothers' products are us ually so provocatory of superlatives that one expects a miracle every time they set up their outfit in the record irig studio. Once in a while they miss fire. The recording of "You're So Darn Charmin'," backed by "You Saved My Life," is just such an in stance. Both are passable as to lyric and melody, ,the tempo is eke for the dancers, ,there isn't a trace Of . Lom bards, yet somehow I can't warm . to it. But after all, the house can't dance all the time to Prima, Ambrose, et al. This will do nicely as a breath er among fox trots. Decca No. 520 * a * Move over, E. J. N.! Pm bent on camping under the Benny Goodman banner, at least as long as he puts such numbers as "King Porter" on Victor wax. A flock of slick solo passages iiy Maestro Goodman puts this number near the top of musts for lovers of the Tenth 'Muse, as we so quaintly prefer to call the new jazz. Sometimes he reels off a stretch that you would swear was produced by a trumpet. Jack Lacey cuts loose with a trombone bit also designed to make you rhapsodize. The old You mans number, "Sometimes Pin Hap- PY," is featured on the reverse. The first chorus is commercial enough, but the heat is on from that point. The rhythm that Backs this number is ace high, what with Harry Goodman on string bass.and Gene Krupa on traps. Listen, Rave, and Buy! Victor No. 25090 -W. B.
