Winifred Williams '37 Shimming Editor This Issue__ News Editor This Issue.__—_ Friday, October 11, 1935 GLITTERING GENERALITIES DEPARTMENT To the editor of the COLLEGIAN Would you kindly publish this reply to "THE BEER QUESTION" editorial in your issue of the About the time I was born, father became a law yer, later he was made associate judge of our district, and later still a judge. Either as an attorney or as a__ judge about a third of his business has been in con nection with the liquor traffic. He has done business for and with liquor sellers, he has Prosecuted, defend ed and tried them. He has seen low license, local pro hibition, state prohibition, national prohibition. None of the family drank but in an impersonal and unpre judiced sort of a way we know a great deal of the business. Out of an abundant knowledge and experi ence certain fundamentals are entirely clear: The excessive use of alcoholic stimulants is respon sible for a great deal of human misery and• crime. For the reason just named conscientious men shun active connection with the liquor business. The place where liquor is sold is usually the head quarters for all kind of vice and crime. While in Belfast, Ireland in 1930, my way to the steamer lead through the cheaper part of the city. There I saw a sight familiar in the past but then banished from the United States by prohibition:— a typical saloon. Outside was the usual group of wrecks, once they were men, perhaps they could still be men were it not for the saloon. What pleasure, what sen sual gratification is worth a hundredth part of this life? In this reply to the COLLEGIAN editorial on the beer situation Professor Thayer ignores entirely the true situation locally and presents nothing in actual reply to the COLLEGIAN'S stand favoring the retention of beer in State College. 'His reply is nothing but the re statement of several well-known "glittering generali ties." Professor Thayer offers no argument against the retention of beer here. He is also obiviously fighting against liquor and not beer as all his generalities are based upon liquor drinking. The COLLEGIAN too is fighting against liquor drink ing and sees as the best method of fighting that battle the retention of beer in State College. Profess& Thayer's points are, paradoxically, not against the retention of beer here but rather for it. Profesor Thayer does not seem to realize that the .re moval of beer herd will, result in liquor drinking, the thing he is fighting against, in great quanities he because of the accessibility of it. Following the lead of the COLLEGIAN, the Centre Daily Tines in an editorial Tuesday asked State College voters to retain beer after considering their respon sibility to the students, to the College, and to the citi zens of this state. To quote the Times: "That's the sensible, honest and charitable way to handle the beer situation." CURRENT HISTORY Students should avail themselves of every opportunity to learn about the international complications the war in Ethiopia is causing. Through the newspapers and lectures, such as the one given by Prof. Alfred G. Pundt, of the department of history, last night, students can learn of the present conditions in Europe and what they imply. The future of the world may depend upon the action that the European nations take within the next few weeks and it is the responsibility of American students to study these conditions and their implications. PROGRESS The announcement that from this year on the LaVie will no longer have a business staff is a sign that pro gress can be eliminating vestigial offices in our studont government and publications boards. The office of business manager of the LaVie is a hold-over from the days when the LaVio accepted ad vertising. Now that the publication is subsiAized, the office is perhaps the most empty honor on the campus. Editor James H. Armstrong '36 is to be congratulated on making this step forward. Mail . Dear Campuseer I am a freshman. Last Saturday night I was at the SAE pledge dance and asked a co-ed I met if she wpuld sit out the rest of a dance with me. and what it is all about SAE pledge; but you hod better Lux your 211Ider- things to make sure Dear Campy Thanks to I. F. C., I have married the girl I love. Remember the ruling, recently revoked, that women were not allowed in fraternity boues except for meals? Well, her landlady ol:jected to my calling for her and after spending most of our time walking around the streets and drinking lemon cokes we were mar ried at Elkton. Townsend Swaim '37 Philip S.

Librarian Lewis went to a masquerade ball- at a convention of the Pennsylvania Librarians Associa tion at Wernersville, near Reading, last Friday night accompanied by some of the local' staff members. Dressed in a swanky knit dress he won a cigarette box for having the "most feminine appearance." The pay-off is that Herr Lewis doesn't smoke.

CINEMANIA After the Minor- flurry attendant to the cancelling of:'"The Red Salute"d had died down,:the Cathaum found itself booked Tor ;Paul Muni's latest picture, "Dr. Socrates,' for Satur day. "Dr. Socrates'? is the colorful story of a famous surgeon whose nerve has been broken through the loss of . his fiancee through an operation he him self has performed. He buries him self in a small town, a failure to him self. His redemption comes through the love of an innocent young girl. Muni's characterization of the phy sician will do much to strengthen hi• position as one of the screen's great est actors. Ann" Dvorak plays oppo site Muni. Others in the cast are Barton Mac Lane, Robert Barrat, and Henry O'Neill. • The original story, which ran in Collier's, is by W. R. Burnett, author of "Little Caesar."' The screen play was directed hyWilham Dieterle. "Talk does not cock rice." Earl Derr Biggers fans will prob ably recognize that as one of the boo mote of. that writer's most famous creation, the Chinese detective, Char lie Chan. The name of -the picture, which plays at the Nittany on Saturday, is "Charlie Chan in 'Shanghai," and the title role Is played, inevitably, by Warner Oland, who outwitshis orien tal foes and deliVers himself of epi grams like 'colds omelette, like fish out of sea, does not improve with lettorine ' Dining Room of • .

Watts of the School of Agriculture spoke to the Forestry Society, Wednesday night, on "Ob jectives in Training or College For esters." Dean Watts said, "Previous to this time the training of foresters has been lacking in the training_ of men to produce timber. Twenty-eight mil lions of acres make up th earea of the state, nearly one-half of this is either timber or potential timber land. I believe that the game of the state could be doubled. The college intends' to train men to take charge of these wild life development projects.. The people of the state are beginning to realize the importance of their moon '.ains, thousands of people visit the mountainous regions for lei sure, hunting, fishing, rest, and the beauty that is always present. Selmark's Book Listed - - A. boolc by Dr. J. Paul Seim e. ly a member of the histo t ment here; is among the net" mes listed by the University of Pennsyl vania Press in its new 'fall prospee his. The volume is "The Pennsylva. nia Constitution of 177 C." age," and "smart rat know when to leave ship.? Never has Charlie Chan faced a more complicated situation than the one which faces him in this picture, and never has he been more wily: The romantic element in this sinister busi ness is supplied by Charles Locher and Irene Harvey. ..`Shipmates Forever," the feature at the Cathaum on Monday and Tues lay, is an attempt to do for the Navy what "Flirtation Walk" did for the Army. Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler are starred. - Dick sings, fights a hitter . battle with himself and finally winds up as a hero who dashes through scalding steam and flame to rescue a ship mate. Ruby dances to gay throngs, the while she fights desperately to win the man she loves to the tradi tions of the Navy. The Warner Broth ers boast about the fact that Miss Keeler taps fourteen times a second when going at full speed. The film Company spent a month at Annapolis, the actors enacting their roles with the training school as a background, and with a thousand ca dets taking part.
