WATER OVER. THE DAM
The election is over and the retail sale of beer brill
continue in State College for four more years.
The COLLEGIAN is, of course, pleased With the way
the election turned out and wishes to thank the voters
of State College who considered the students' side of the
question and the moral issues at stake in an unhurried
and unfrenzied way.
However, we are not overjoyed with the results of
the election. The Victory was very unimpressive. It was
so unimpressive that we can see how the drys may well
consider it a moral victory.
The COLLEGIAN feels that the victory for either side
would have been quite a bit more impressive had Lhe
College administration stated a decisive opinion on the
question favoring either side instead of the wish-washy
interviews given out
There arc those who will argue that the adminis
tration was right in their stand.
We do not feel that theirs was the correct attitude.
The student body favored beer and Nye feel that it was
the duty of the administration to take a stand on the
question, rpgardless of whether it was favorable to the
students' opinion or not.l
After all, the students de make up the greater part
of this institution
=EI
Throughout the months of the campaign the owners
of the beer gardens within this borough certainly con
ducted model places. Drunkenness and disorder was
Now that their business here is insured for the next
four years it is the duty of those same beer garden own
ers to continue conducting model places Without any
signs of drunkenness and disorder. 'They have shown
that they can do it. Now let them continue to do it.
The student government groups are quite anxious to
help thgm in controlling conduct in their places.
It is also up to the State College Committee for
Moderation and Law Enforcement to see that these 9
places are conducted with propriety, and that beer is
not sold to minors.
If the beer garden owners abuse the privileges
which have been extended to them by the people of State
College and break their promises to conduct their busi
nesses with propriety, they certainly should be closed.

When the COLLEGIAN went into the fight for the re
tention of beer in State College, it expected a clean
fight, sticking to the local facts without any mud-sling
ing—for, after all k was not the opposition composed of
the local ministry, with several exceptions, and the most
highly respected and virtuous ladies of the town?
However, once the battle got under way in earnest,
the Com..Enianz soon found that the opposition was well
schooled in cheap, small-town political mud-slinging.
. The Coutntat4 endeavored to keep out of the mud
slinging and to make the drys stick to the local facts.
But it was just another version of leading a horse to
water and failing to make hint drink.
The drys did not and did not want to stick to the
local facts. Their material and data on the local situa
tion was unreliable.
The only person in their group, front Reverend
Jones to Mrs. Ella B. Black, president of the Pennsyl
vania W. C. T. U., who showed any inclination to con
sider this question from a local angle, was Reverend
Weimer.
The rest of them tried to arkuc against facts, as
presented by the COLLEGIAN and the State College Com
mittee for Moderation and Law Enforcement, with glit
tering generalities and with statements which sounded
like they had come from the W. C. T. U. Arthur Bris
bane.
ELEVENTH HOUR PROTEST
Students all over the world Armistice Day will pro
test against the grave imminence of war. The local
demonstration at Schwab Auditorium -deserves the at
tendance of every undergraduate who is interested in
keeping alive. The issue has become just that.
Only through the organization of students into a un
ited front against the war makers can we preserve the
peace against the great onrush of Fascism and War.
No one can stay on the fence in this fight.
Students must not allow themselves to be plunged in
to another general slaughter of fellow students and
labor. Students must for& college administrations to
outlaw It. 0. T. C., they,must register their protest and
back up with force of numbers their denunciation Of
capitalist War-makers, their .Hearsts and their propa
gandists.
The Fascist blackness sweeps over Ethiopia and
the stake is set for the great carnage as surely as it was

Here is a letter that was turned over to this de

Dear Editors:
We would like very much to know who the third
girl from the left in the tap chorus of the Thespian
show is. She is a blonde, short, and wears navy blue
slacks in practice. Her first name is Barbara. Is she
engaged?
Since we can't find out ourselves, how's about do
ing us a favor? We will be looking forward to the
next issue. Thank you.

Dear Very Much Interested Group:
Her name is Barbara Cooke. .She is a freshman
and hails from Nanticoke. As far as being engaged
goes she would not incriminate herself further than
to say that she huS been dating a chap named Bob at
Phi Kappa Tau.
Trusting that this information will serve your
needs, I remain

President Hetzel received a letter from a Repub

a student leader who would be capable of organizing
a Republican club here:
And who did he name? Why Manny Katz, Penn

TitE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN
Letter Box
To the Editor:
In view of the tension and animos
ity arising fronf the illegal touchdown
incident of lust - Saturday's game with
Syracuse, it is my opinion that rather
than allow the matter to be closed of
ficially while remaining unsettled in
the minds of Penn State's players,
conches and supporters, some action
should be taken that would at least
serve to modiiy the feeling uppermost
in the hearts of all the followers of
Venn State—the feeling that we were
robbed of certain victory by a deci
sion that at its best teas shaky.
The game is over. The official
score can never be changed. But al
though a cure for what we believe. to
have been untriir cannot be effected,
there is a remedy for the anger and
unfairness that we all feel. .
That remedy is this: Let Penn State
issue a challenge to Syracuse to play
here in a second game after the sea
son of both teams has ended. By so
doing Penn State, has an opportunity
to prove what we all think—that she
is the better team and that, under
conditions prevalent in normal foot
ball games, she Can topple the Orange
froth her undefeated pinnacle, a pin
nacle which is non-existent in • the
minds of many. •
Should. Syracuse refuse to accept
the challenge we would feel that she
did so only hecatise she feared that
Penn State actually did win Satur
day's contest and with that convic
tion he afraid to run the chances of
meeting her again.
Penn State wants a return game.
I heard a 'player remark that he
"hoped we would play Syracuse again.
Pm only sorry that I won't he play
ing with the team when we do." .
State students and supporters have
a right to such a game, for it is only
by such a measure that the anger and
bitterness towards Syracuse can be
removed, anger and bitterness that do
little towards promoting sportsman
ship and good-will between the two
institutions.
If we win' such a game the stigma
of the first defeat is erased. If we
lose and lose because we are outplayed
and not, overruled, we can feel that
Syracuse has a right to claim suprem
acy over us.
Penn State demands a second
chance and deserves it in the name of
sportsmanship and fair play.

CINEMA NIA
Schedule , change: "To Relit The
"Bounty," 'Gable has the role of
day, instead:: of. "Rendezvous,"
which goes over to the Nittany
for tonight.
Edward Arnold, temembered for his
characterization of "Diamond Jim,"
heads a noteworthy cast in the Uni
versal picture, ;"Remember Last
Night?" which will play at the Cath
aum tomorrow. Constance Cummings
and Sally Eilers, two of the more
eye-filling damozels of the day, have
the feminine leads, and the rest of
the cast includes 'such favorites as
Robert Young, Robert Armstrong,
Louise' Henry, Gregory Ratoff, and
Reginald Denny.
The story Is one of murders among
the secial readers, with Arnold as the
gruff detective who matches his wits
with the fast set. To give you a rough
idea of what goes on, there are kid
nappings, clues in Greek; planted foot
prints, knives flashing—and for the
gory-minded, no less than three kill
ings and thirteen alibis.
"Music is Magle"—we have it on
the authority of Alice Faye, who stars
in the picture of that name, playing
at the Slittany tomorrow night.. This
musical also presents a new juvenile,
one Ray Walker; a perennial, Bebe
Daniels; and two of the goofiest come
dians on this or any other screen. A
personal favorite, Luis Alberni, also
has a small part.
The story concerns the attempt of
sonic small-time vaudevillians to get
into pictures. They do—and in a big
way, hut they•have any number of
obstacles to overcome. The acts flop,
jobs in laundries, restaurants, and on
street cars have to lie taken, the prints
donna gees temperainental—but then
the final triumph is that . much

Two~mulion dollars doesn't sound
like much in these NeW Deal days,
but when , MGM put that amount into
the filming of "Mutiny on the Boun
ty;"'they got a lot of picture for their
money. Film-goers will probably do
the same when the picture is shown
at the Cathaum Monday and Tuesday.
With a name cast headed 'by
Charles Laugfiton, Clark Gable, and
Franchot Tone, and including Her
bert Mundin,. Edilie Quillan, Dudley
Digges, and Donald Crisp. The two
native girls who take unto themselves
sailor husbands, Memo and Maria,
are beautiful beyond compare.
The film; based on the story of the
same name by Charles Nordhoff and
James Norman Hall, is really a page
out of history, all of the facts being
authenticated through research in the
archives or the British Admiralty.
The "Bounty" itself is an exact re
production of the ship that went
through such incredible adventures
150 years ago.
Laughton makes the most of anoth
er villainous role, this time as Cap
tain Bligh, heartless master of the
"Bounty." Cable has the role of
Pletcher Christian, who leads the mu
tineers when Bligh's cruelties become
intolerable.. Tone plays the tnrt of
Roger Byam, falsely accused of coni
!dicky in the mutiny and almost ex
ecuted.
The romance centers about Chris-.
lion and illyam and their Tahitian
wives, with a final tinge Of sadness
when they are torn apart by the ne
cessity 'of saving their lives from their
enchdes.
