Insurance.
System Takes Effect
Beginning December 31
By act of the State Legislature,
June , 2l, 1935, the employes of the
College have been granted the privi
ledge of participating in the Penn
sylvania: State ';Employes' Retire
ment system•on the same basis as all
other employes of the State. This
System was presented to all College
employes eligible by President Ralph
D. Hetzel on August 24 and will go
into effect December 3L
Commenting on the plan President
Hetzel wrote. qt is the belief of the
members of the faculty committee on
insurance and retirement and of the
trustees and the undersigned (Presi
- dent Hetzel) that the plan makes
unusually advantageous, generous
'and secure provision for the employes
of the College."; •
The purpose of the act is to pro
vide annuities for the employes of
. the College payable upon retirement
. on account of age disability, or upon'
l
being asked to withdraw from the
service. It also makes certain pro
visiiins for the dependents of - College
employes.
:All the employes in the service
of the College who are paid by the
month or by the year, except thoso,
wholly paid from Federal funds, are'
eligible- for membership.- Employes'
paid by th hour or by the day are not
eligible. • . .
, 'Briefly the plan offers two sched
ule rates whereby Monthly deductions
from salaries' are, paid into a fund
maintained by. the state: Upon re=
tirement, or withdraw!, or disability
either , a . lump . sun)" Or ; a life annuity
iihis , foar'pvreeririntereSt:lErietlii7l 7 .
ml
_to the employe - or in case of 'death
to his beneficiary; .
In offering,. a choice between two
schedules of payment rates, the plan
presents two . coresponding annuities
which will yield approximately thirty
two per cent per annum or fifty per
cent, of the final salary received by
the employe, , . depending on which
schedule is chosen. .
To aid College employes in under
standing the plan, members of the
Faculty Committee on Insurance and
Retirement, together with five ad
ditional represenatives who have con
sented to act for the Committee, are
ready to confer with employes in
each of: . the several schools. It is
suggested that each employe consult
the represenative named in his. re
spective school or department.
Frizzell Tells of Need
For Adult Character
"Here in America we have been
growing men .and women, who, how
ever well (they may be equipped tech
nically, lack the character of adults,"
state Prof. John H. Frizzell, noting
College chaplain, in his chapel ad
dress, "Putting Away Childish
Things," in -Schwab auditorium Sun
day morning.
Our life is comparable to a circus,
Prof. Friziell said, and we try to see
everything at once that is going on.
We have lost almost entirely our sense
of-wonder, he continued, and as a re
sult we are (bored. One thing we
can't stand is monotony; we must
have . something different, and yet . we
don't know what we want, the speaker
added. '
"What does the world want today?
How will we handle it when we get
it? Is our aim to .be rich or is to
have a good -time? There must be
some definite purpose, guiding prin
ciple or goal or we don't get any
where," Prof. Frizzell stated.
We have the key to unlock the door
and escape the drabness of life, Pro
fessorr Frizzell asserted. The chief
aim of life is, knowledge and we must,
,begin by knowing ourselves, the speak
er said. He added that it is essen
tial to know' what we are and what
wo are not, our weaknesses and our
. strength and. motivations.
Many' Americans have the tendency
to remain the children of the circus;
they are unable and unwilling to face
life, said Professor Frizzell. It is
childish to dodge the unpleasant
things of life and we must learn to
face facts; he pointed out. ..
"Our whole business structure is
based upon faith, why should not hu
man life , be baled upon faith, also?"
asked Professor Frizzell. "Faith is
the min way out. Believe in some
;thing and go on from there." •
Upperclassmen To Get
N. Y. A. Jobs Tomorrow
Upperclassmen who are to get
NYA jobs will receive notification
in tomorrow's mail, according to
an announcement by the Comptrol
ler's office. Delay has been occa
:sionea by the investigation of the
200 applications in an effort to
give jobs to , students who need
them most.
The delay will not cause those
securing jobs.to lose a full month's
work. Unlike the FERA, the NYA
miyments .will be based on •a col
lege-month plan; which would start
as or September 18. This will en
able a student to put in about thir
ty hours of work before the end of
the •first month.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
Lutz, Flying Dutchman
Back, Proves Thorn
In State's Side.
Cooper Tallies Twice
With Center Plunges
By PHIL lIEISLER
Winning by the closest score since
the series began in 1905, the Lion
football team turned in an unimpres
sive 12-to-S victory, gained in the last
two minutes of play, over their tradi
tional opening game rivals, Lebanon
Valley, here Saturday. Victory was
welcome with any score, but it would
hardly inspire old grads to burn down
the stands or make wild predictions
on future games.
Throughout the first three quarters
Carl Lutz, lanky right halfback for
the Flying Dutchmen, punted, passed,
blocked, and carried the ball, keeping
the purring Lions from threatening
the Lebanon Valley goal.
fiance Races 74 Yards
It was not until the final quarter
after Hen Hance, 164-pound substi
tute halfback, tore through the State
line off tackle and made his spectacu
lar 74-yard run for a touchdown, thus
placing Lebanon Valley in the lead,
640-O, that the Lion squad displayed
any aggressiveness.
Lebanon Valley's scoring set off the
!spark, starting the Nittany machine
to function. In exactly seven plays
the Lions evened the count. Cooper
returned the kick-off from his own 30
to his 40-yard line. ti-Eshbach, sub
stituted for Kornick, gained four
yards off tackle and after an incom
plated pass, Smith nabbed O'Hora's
toss for a 44-yard gain and a first
down on Lebanon Valley's 13-yard
stripe.
Cooper Scores
Rabbit Wear, 135-pound quarter
baiki advanced six . S , a - riri 'around the
end and Eshbach gained three more.
Cooper made it a first down on the
one-foot line and then took it over
on a center rush. Vonarx, who had
been practicing kicking on the side
lines, was sent in to try for the point
but his kick was wide, leaving the
score deadlocked, 6-to-6.
II Wear again opened the Lion drive
to the goal by returning Lutz's punt
to*State's 47-yard line. Wear, Cooper,
and Knapp advanced the ball to the
3-yard stripe with successive line
plays, where Cooper again plunged
through the line, over the goal in the
final minute of play. His kick for
the extra point was wide.
In spite of a performance that was
far below expectations the Lions did
show promise in spots. Wear proved
that he could not only tear around
end but that be could also hit the
line and take care of his 'tackle. The
linemen held up to expectations by
presenting a solid forward wall, and
Captain Bob Weber justified his posi
tion when he tore through the line,
throwing Lutz for a five-yard loss.
Lebanon Valley made an early bid
for a score. By the middle of the
first quarter Lutz and Tindall had
brought the ball down to State's own
3-yard line. O'Hara prevented a
score when he knocked down Lutz's
pass over the goal. Lebanon Valley
gained four first downs in the first
quarter, while the Lions failed to
make any.

where players and plays are tried and

team has and what it needs. Satur
