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.

Librarian Lewis went to a masquerade ball- at a
convention of the Pennsylvania Librarians Associa

accompanied by some of the local' staff members.
Dressed in a swanky knit dress he won a cigarette

The pay-off is that Herr Lewis doesn't smoke.

Students Encouraged
To Improve C.A. Cabin
Students interested in the P. S. C. A.
cabin in Shingletown Gap are invited
to go to the cabin to continue the
work of Mr. and Mrs. William C.
Hanimaker, former stiff members of

committee.

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

plays at the Nittany on Saturday, is

Dean Watt's Discusses
Training Of Foresters
Dean Ralph L. 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.

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.
