The first five of the charges made by the dry forces have nothing to do with the COLLEGIAN, as it is not con nected with the organization in question in any way. However, Charge Five, "How is the COLLEGIAN fi nancially able to distribute free copies containing wet editorials into every non-subscriber's honie in State Col lege?" is concerned with the COLLEGIAN. It insinuates in a sleazy way that the Collegian is in this fight for profit. Anyone who has any acquaintance with the pub lishing business would know that the COLLEGIAN is able to print the papers in question and distribute them at a cost of approximately $ll. But only a group of.hys terical drys would forget to find out publishing costs before they insinuate that the COLLEGIAN had reaped 'a tremendous profit from distributing 'free copies. The only.profit that the COLLEGIAN might be said to have gained from distributing these free copies was an increase in the number of subscriptions. The 'Cots.ma& has never hesitated to spend extra money to help getting across an issue which it is right fully backing. However, the COLLEGIAN has received enough in subscriptions to pay for all the free papers with money to spare. The COLLEGIAN had the largest circulation in its history the day it exposed the athletic situation here. It was 'financially" able to care for the hundreds of free copies which were printed at that time. Whenever the "Laymen's Dry Committee and Min isterium" begins to question the financial ability of the COLLEGIAN, they had; best consider that it has a paid cir culation of 2200 and theoamount of advertising it car ries, not to mention the fact that it has been a money making enterprise far years. It might also be noted by the dry committee that in the last issue of the COLLEGIAN there was an editorial favoring the retention of the sale of beer here and that that paper was not distributed free to anyone And it.might he further noted that this issue of the Collegian will be distributed free to every nun-subscrib er's home, because the Collegian feels that the local fanatical drys have made a deliberate and slanderous attempt to hurt. the reputation of this paper and will distribute this paper free in an effort to show the crim inal lengths to which the local "Laymen's Dry Commit tee and ,linisterium" will go in their hysterical effort to win their case. The dry committee also made a deliberate 'attempt to mislead the readers of their slanderous advertise ment by stating that the editorials in thb free papers were "wet." The editorials in the COLLEGIAN were not "wet," but were temperance editorials, a term either forgotten by the drys or, more probably, purposely mis construed. Charge Seven does not concern the COLLEGIAN, but it is a typical munple of the lack of effort and deSire on the part of the local "Laymen's Dry Committee and Ministerium" and the W. C. T. U. to light for temper- It - has long been a known and published fact 'that the license can he taken from any beer establishment If fifteen citizens of the locality swear out information, based on specific fncts, that beer has been sold to minors. No, the local drys are not for temperance! In their final charge, the * drys ask whether the intelligent citizens of State College will be bought Off by outside liquor interests? The COLLEGIAN answers: "No, they will not he bought olf," as the local drys have been. Everyone knows that the liquor interests want the repeal of the sale of beer everywhere. It will mean that more liquor will he sold. No one ever heard a bootlegger yammering for the repeal of prohibition. It is surprising that the local "Laymen's Dry Com mittee and Ministerium",should be so unthinking as to ever credit "outside liquor interests" with trying to buy elf the State College voters. There is another surprising Tact which the Collegian has discovered: "Why do not all the local ministers be- Civic Problem 'Coincident with the local election on the beer question, we feel that there is another vicious and ever-present evil rampant in these parks which de serves the attention of local authorities. We are sure that a great many straight-thinking citizens agree with us on the point, but have been hesitant only be cause they, like us, do not know just how 'to go about combatting the problem. Fortunately, the defenders. of temperance hate pointed out to us the most efficacious procedure. It is only necessary to have the question put on the ha!- lot and have the citizens vote on it. The evil to which we refer—if you have not al ready guessed—is SEX! Let's abolish Sex! Sex is hod for oniam.s. Reactionaries, undoubtedly, will say that we have always had sex, and that we cannot get along with out it. Here they fall into the same error as the de fenders of the Demon Runt. We do not have to have sex. The next time someone defends sex to you, stop and consider. Ask yourself a few questions: Has this person benefitted by sex? Are his mo tives selfish -or not? Is he likely to benefit if sex is retained?—.And scores of others-which will be self- Jean C. Hoover '37 Robert. J. Sirah•r '37 Richard E. Lewis '37 W. Robert Grubb '37 evident to thinking persons. To make certain we were not alone in our belief, we asked Lynn Christy.what he thought. Now Christy has observed sex for a long time. He should know. This is what he says: • "Sex must go! Away with sofas and soft lights. Away with last minute calls to the Phi Mu house. Yes, away, even, with imports. Too long, indeed, has sex been rearing its not-so-ugly head. "It is high time, indeed, that something be clone. Prom pulpit and muezzin tower let the decree be pub lished. Let the Blue Band blare forth its most blat ant boo. Down with the Sangerites, the Ellisites, the people who have 'crushes,' and the people who don't have crushes. Down with Freud. Let no one be afreud. The Layinghens and Spinistereriums (a) aren't ascared to put it in their platform; deans and doctors are prepared to sound the clarion. It only re mains for the youth of today, the fine (d) young peo ple who are living on their parents' money in the colleges of our fair land, and a few at Bucknell, to answer the call, to sound the tocsin, and prove that they are not tocsin through their derbies. "Damn sex, and damn damn. Sex must go hoot mon. This makes me sex." We must confess that we do not know just how to go about having the sex question put on the bal lot. We, therefore, turn the matter over to those bet ter versed in the correct procedure. At any rate, we must have a local option on sex. it's lime sex was .stamped out! .• , . Krieger Alumni Association: We made an error early this year in calling Doris Krieger Bill Skrible's girl. So'did Skirble. So did a lot of other guys. Doris seems to have every inten tion of remaining in circulation. So all the - ,boys .who have dated her once or twice have banded to gether to form the Krieger Alumni Association. They have had membership cards printed—a hundred at firgt, but they'll soon need more. Bill Skirble is pres ident, and they have started a chapter at the Univer sity of Michigan, where Doris is known. Anyone is in vited to join.

TRAVEL BUREAU OLD MANIA -THE MANIAC TEE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN Students Form N.S.L. Branch Here Tuesday Twenty students attended an orga nization meeting for a Penn State branch of the' National Student's League in Room 312, Old Main, Tues day night. The, students decided to form a chanter of the National Stu dent's League here, and have contact,' ed national headquarters in New York City for official sanction. James T. Dugan '37 was named temporary chairman of the organiza tion. Plans for participation of the body in the Student Mobilization for Peace, which Will be held on Armis tice Day, November 11, under the auspices of the Penn State Christian Association, were discussed in the meeting. The- group met again in Room 31'2,. OTil Main, Wehlnesday night to decide issues to be supported in the mobilization. Letter. Box This letter is written by citizens of State College who have no financial interest either in,beer or in the lack of it. We cannot afford to buy ad vertising, space in the Centre Daily Times. We ask the following irrelev ant .questions because we discover, to our sorrow that relevant argument, has no place'in this campaign: 1. What individuals (besides the ' Reverend Jones) are sponsoring , and financing the local campaign to• vote out beer? . 2. How many persons' engaged in the local dry cause are in the pay of outside interests? 3. Fi•om what source came the pressure to induce at least lour of the local "Ministerium" to renounce their expressed convictions and to lend support to a prohibition move ment which they have privately de clared to be harmful to the Moral interests of this community? 4. What liquor dealers in nearby townships and boroughs are pout ing .Imge,sums into State College to . influence the election on beer? 5. What locabeer parlor, , known to the Dry Committee, has repeat edly violated the law in selling beer to minors? Why has this Commit tee concealed the evidence and saved law-breakers from deserved convic tion? 1" So far in - this . campaign we have been told that Connie Mack disap proves of alcohol, that automobile ac cidents in Rochester, N. Y., have greatly increased , since repeal, and that men in distant cities have mur dered their _wives because they had too much liquor or because they could not get enough:i Perhaps we may 'now reasonably ,hope to be told how, local beer is ruining -the Penn State athlete, how many beer-sodden driv ers have maimed . State College chil dren, and hoW many undergraduates, have murdered 'fraternity house cooks' and chambermaids. In short,. if this is a State College problem, can we ,not have some State 'College evidence? Pittsburgh brewer ies probably want us to retain beer, and Pittsburgh distilleries probably want us to vote it 'out. What of it? After all, the question which seems - to have escaped notice so far is simp ly this: Will our town be better off by permitting the local sale of beer, Or by the return to prohibition?

Ima gine the perfection of television. On second thought, just view "Transat lantic Tunnel" at the Cathaum today, and you'll have it before your eyes. This Gaumont-British production, ad- 1 ipted from a Story by the 'German author, -Kellerman, stars Richard Dix and Leslie Banks, with Madge Evans, Helen Vinson, C. Aubrey Smith, and. Basil Sydney, with special portrayals by George Arliss.and Walter Huston. In this prophetic picture there is more than a glittering fantasy of things to come; there is a human story based on a young wife's loyalty to her husband whose work as chief construction engineer estranges him temporarily. There are misunder standings and moments 'of poignant grief; there are spectacular scenes in which the boring 'encounters a sub marine volcano, and hundreds are killed. McAllen, played 'by Dix, saves :he entire project 'only by sacrificing the -lives of some of the men, includ ing his own son. The picture ends on a happy note, as the siren, played by Relen Vinson, velinonishes McAllen to his wife, played by Madge Evans. A new iomedy-romance team makes its bow with . the -showing 'of 'Hands -Across the Table" at the Cathaum tomorrow. It's Carole Lombard and Fred 'lllaclqurray.

Rather than spoil their plans, the manicurist rush so into -the arms of her wealthy ad mirer, playedliy Bellarhy. The play boy follows her, proposes, is accepted —and we trust, eventually lands a job. "Metropolitan," starring Lawrence Tibbett, conies to the , Cathaurn 'Mon day and Tuesday.as one'of the music al highlights of the year. Personally produced by Darryl Zanuck for 20th Century-Vox and directed by Rich end , Boleslawski, the picture•features, in addition to the work -of Tibbet, such actors as Virginia d3iuce, Alice 'Brady, Cesar. Romero, Thurston Hall, and Luis Alberni. The story is a dramatic one, pa . cked with love and jealousy, intrigue and temperament; and provides a worthy background for the six featured songs 3f Tibbett. The plot concerns .Tib bett's efforts to gain the portals of the "Met" and his :initial disappoint ment. Backitairs influence loses him his first chance and then a jealous prima donna, played by Alice Brady, forms.a company for him.because she loves him. . An aspiring young singer, played by Virginia 'Bruce, is the real 'object of Tibbett's affections and when the prima donna discovers that the young 'girl has a' lovely voice, she fires her over the protests of Tibbett. Enraged, 'the prima donna withdraws her back ing. Just when the situation has reached its lowest ebb, the young singer reveals that she is wealthy and saves the day by underwriting the production. There-are some tense moments ev en after that, what with the orches tra leader disappearing and Tibbett nearly losing his voice, but all is righted at the last moment, and Tib bett goes on to score, a tremendous hit with his rendition of "Pagliacci." Other songs sung by Tibbett include "The .Road to Mandalay," the "Tor eador Song" from "Carmen,", "The Barber of Seville," "Faust" and "De Glory Road." "Little America," the story of the second Byrd Antarctic Expedition, will be , shown at the Nittany Monday night. The perils of polar 'explora tion have' been faithfully preserved on Min under the direct supervision 'of Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, who feels that the cinema record of his voyages is by far the most im portant. One of Paramount's ace -news cameramen made this pictorial rec ord, which is said to contain some of the most thrilling sequences of events ever shot. - Among the action scenes are those of the crew's attempt to lash the gi ant Condor plane down in a gale, the assault of the ice-breaker ships on the ice-pack, the reiliscovery of ~Little America, and the unloading of the ship on the crumbling ice-pack as a dock.
