Robert Grubb 17 !gumming Editor This Issue._ News Editor Tut Issue--- Tuesday, October 22„ 1935 SOME OF OUR HIG SHOTS The COLLEGIAN heartily condemns the members of the StudCnt Tribunal who sentenced a freshman to buy seven bottles of beer for violation of dress customs. It was the act of a group of power-drunk smart alecks who have no regard for the dignity of, their office. They undoubtedly considered themselves pretty clever college boys when they administered this sentence. It crtainly was a cute kit of graft; it showed what a great bunch of leaders and thinkers they are. When the question came last spring as to bearing with the student government groups in enforcing fresh men customs, the COLLEGIAN swallowed a few prin ciples and went along with the plan. This incident has shown that these men are incapable of considering the dignity of their office and of the responsibility which rests on their shoulders. If they are going to be so strict with the freshmen, why don't they, as upperclassmen and student leaders. be at bit sensible and strict with themselves and resist this temptation of petty graft? Or if they can't do that, why don't they resign? LET'S END THIS TROUBLE Friday night's bonfire was a re-occurence of the trouble and danger of Alumni Day a year ago:And if the past is any indication, this trouble and danger will occur again. The only thing which kept Friday night's tontir . e from developing into the seriousness of last year's fire and riot was the strenuous effort of the stu dent leaders in discouraging the mob. It has gotten to the place now where the College ad ministration must step in and provide some spot on the campus where. the danger of setting `fire to buildings is absent. The police can no longer handle the situation unless they are allowed to use brute force. And cer tainly no one wants to see heads smashed. It cannot be handled through the efforts of the hat-men and stu dent leaders as was demonstrated the other night. It apparently does the average student no gpod to tell him he is paying for this bon-fire and damage to private property out of his own pocket, for some of the leaders of Friday night's trouble were seniors and jun iors who have seen these fires before and know the ex pensive damage•and danger connected with these inci dents. Last spring there occurred a minor disturbance, of this sort which was easily quelled. However, following that incident the COLLEGIAN asked that the administra tion take some steps toward providing a spot where these outbursts of youthful enthusiasm may take place without endangering the downtown business district. Apparently no attention was made to the CoLuzrAN's suggestion which might have made possible the avoid ance of Friday night's celebration. The College now sees that this is the sanest method in handling this situation. The COLLEGIAN hopes that it will take immediate action to establish such a place on the campus where these outbursts can be handled safe ly. Not only will this end the damage to private property and the danger involved but that it will also promote better relations and understanding between the stu dents and townspeople. The COLLEGIAN fads that Burgess Wilbur F. Leitzell and the Alpha Fire Company should be congratulated on the way in which they co-operated with the student groups in attempting to handle the situation A CHANGE A year ago Burgess Wilbur F. Leitzell was the COL. LEMAN'S worst enemy and the target of manyeditor ial broadsides. Today the COLLEGIAN regards Col. Leit zell as a friend, not only of this paper, but of the stu dents of this college. Why has there been this change in attitude? Because he * has realized that the student govern ment groups can handle many of the cases which he has to deal with and has called them in to consider them with him in order to mete out justice in the best pos sible way, and thereby promoting a better feeling be tween the student body and the townspeople. OLD MANIA Anesthesia Where are we? In a fraternity dorm at 5 o'clock in the morning? In a sanitarium for the treatment of sleeping sickness? Have we been going without sleep for three days?

Anchors Away We sort of feel that it's our duty to chronicle the troubles the Delta Gammas have had with their an chor; how it disappeared, where it went, and how they got it back. In the first place, you should know that Betty Deemer's father got it from a friend of his in Detroit and shipped it here because the anchor is the symbol of something in the d. g. frat. The girls were proud of the thing and put it out on the lawn in front of the house. Then one morning last week they woke up to find it gone. They asked around awhile, but weren't able to find out the truth—that Carl Bechtel and Marsh Brown had taken the anchor down to one of the Col lege farms, where Vic Marburger, Beaver House lad, found it, painted in barber-pole fashion. Marburger called Bill Balderston to come to his aid in outwitting the dastardly Phi Psis. Balderston, being manager of the Hort Show, had innumerable cars and trucks at his disposal, and with Marburger, took the anchor out into the barrens. They then called the Delta Gammas and told them to inform Chief Yougel of the theft and tell him that he would find the anchor on the Phi Psi lawn Friday morning. But the girls slipped up some 7 where, and no one came around to claim the anchor, which was chained securely to the Phi Psi flag pole. The Delta Gammas finally got some man to Jake it back up to the house. •+ + + I'M NOT . The Centre Daily Parlous Times Is fond of A. Ray Warnock's rhymes Doc Tsehan's pet peeves are the "Alma .

The Record Crop Here's something Sock Kennedy's proteges will be interested in, we ven ture to predict. Victor Young's con cert band has recorded two numbers for stage dancing that will prove a boon to those who would prefer some thing recorded especially for them. One side is a soft shoe number to the sharply accented rhythms of "Tea for Two," and the reverse is a tap num ber in a livelier tempo, to the strains of "Sweet Sue." Beth were recorded under the personal supervision of Ar thur Murray. Decca—No. 562 You may object to Guy Lombardo's lack of originality but you must ad mit that the devotees of the dance find him always the provider of sat isfactory tempos. "Cheek to Cheek," with the vocal by the trio, is no best seller, but the excellence of the tune will carry it along. This is backed by a sprightly tune, "Broadway Rhythm." There .are actually por tions of this.platter that differ from the usual Loinbirdo treatment. Decca reports that sales of their Lombardo 'and Crosby recordi have mounted so that they haven't been able to keep up with the demand. After all, if the one you're dancing with is charm ing enough, you won't mind such lit tle details as off-key saxes. Decca—No. 549 , * a *, Dorsey Bros. have grooved a num ber for Decea entitled 'Dipper Mouth', and it's as 'crazy as its title. Played with all the joyous abandon of a bunch . of morticians out for a good time, it proves that there are some capable men in the crew, which we knew all the time. As an ensemble, it leaves something to be desired. Kay Weber tries . hard to make her voice match the excellence of the lyr les and melody". "The Gentleman Obviously Doesn't Believe.", She does n't quite make it,, but the record is a good number withal. Decca—No. 561 0 0 0 Al Bowlly is rapidly becoming Vic tor's best bet as a soloist. Accompa nied by Ray Noble, he does two slow numbers that will be liked wherever sentimental ballads are appreciated. It's time tßat someone does some thing for the older generation that grows weary ocrizz. hot or commer cial. These numbers make elegant listening, and if you are good, you can dance them;' "ROB Along, Prairie Moon," and on the other side, the ex otically-titled "Red Sails in the Sun set." Victor—No. 25142 e Jack Hylton, England's No. 2 band (No. 3 if you like Ambrose better) has assembled an outfit of concert hall proportions for these numbers, and they deserve to be hits. "When the Lilac Blooms 'Again" features some notable trumpet and piano bits and a tricky change of pace. On the oth er side the ever Popular "I Kiss Your Hand, Madame," and this also is characterized by varying tempos and really fine harp interludes. The vocal is the record's. yeak Spot, it being handled by a tenor whose forte is a falsetto. Victor—No. 36172 (12 Inch) .• —W.

EWING KENNEDY La Barrymore, working on a na tional soap program, was asked to say that she perSonally used the soap —she refused. The writers then came through with &blurb to the effect that the soap was used by one of the coun try's most prominent actresses—Miss Ethel then revised it to read: Amer lea's leading actress. There's a com promise for you. Today marks the 814th perform ance of "TObacco Road" and puts it fifth on the list of all-time run rec ords on Broadway. The piece has had four different leading men and the property man has had to plant his turnip patch on stage four times. John Van Britten has another Huf fy little comedy at the Cort Theatre titled "Most of the Game." Very much like his "There's Always Juliet," this one does not register as strongly— suffering mainly from the absence of such players as Herbert Marshall and Edna Best. The big news sheets sent both their music and dramatic critics to the pre miere of 'Porgy and Bess" in Boston —the dramats stayed to cheer, the musicians had only a feeble wave of the hand. The show is done in oper atic style, scarcely, a line being spok en, no expense has been spared in pro duction, and it has one song "I Got Plenty of Nuttin' " which may do for this one what "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" did for "Roberta." The Lunts version of "The Taming of the Shrew" has stolen the thunder of Billy Rose' circus "Jumbo." A broad farce, gaudily costumed, with acrobats, dwarfs, and a human horse this is the gayest, merriest thing on Broadway. The Guild now has aweir cus•to. its credit. Rodgers and Hart (with the She berts money) are readying a num.! ical "On 'Your Toes" for the Shu- 1 'lefts All-American backfield—Ray Bolger, rouella Gear, Gregory Rat off, and Dorothy Stone ....Vivienne Segal gets back into the musical show picture in "Home Town Boy" . . . . Warner Bros. "Midsummer Night's Dream" is taking an awful panning from the press because the. movie stars can't read Shakespeare . . . . Irene Delroy makes her comeback in "Anything Goes," replacing Bettina Hall in.the singing lead. The so-called legitimate producers have evidently had one eye on bur lesque for the past few years—while the former's shows opened and closed, the, latter's kept grinding on forever —and making money. Now vinide un its must have a strip girl .and 2 spveral. nude acts and two new diamaS "The Body Beautiful" and "Strip iGrl" will open in the near future. Some real good news for the belly laugh ,fans comes in the official re port that W. C. Fields is entirely well and back in production again. Six weeks ago they carried him into So hobs Hot Springs in a serious Con dition—arthritis and numerous oth er compliCations—now he is ready with drawn Bowie knife, "to carve his way through a wall of living flesh." With Will Rogers gone we certainly can't get along without Fire In Football Stands Accidental Rumor, that an attempt had been made on Saturday afternoon during the Penn' State-Lehigh football game to set fire to the east stands were spiked today by George W. Ebert, su perintendent of grounds and build ings at the College, who said that a fire which broke out beneath section 6 was "purely accidental," and be lieved to have been caused by a ci garette stub. The fire was quickly extinguished by Captain William V. Dennis, Jr., chief of the campus patrol. Three si milar fires broke out during the 'home coming day game last year, Ebert pointed out.

The amount of nicotine in the smoke of one cigarette burned to a length of one centimeter was approx imaiely.:egual to the nicotine found in the smoke of three cigarettes burned t on length - of three centimeters each. If one follows the theory that nico tine is harmful, the conclusion of this experiment would 'suggest that it pays to thro.;. , away the butts. Facts can be shown also that the nicotine content orthe four popular brands of cigarettes, is exactly the same.
