Haswell, of the de partment of akricultural extension, vill'address a meeting of the Centre County Agricultural Extension asso ciation to be held at Pleasant Gap, November 23. • 1,500 Students Jam Auditorium In Demonstration Against War Fifteen hundred students, faculty members • and 'townspeople filled Schwab auditorium at 11 o'clock yes terday morning to observe the sev enteenth Armistice Day by joining in a solemn nation-wide protest against war. In contrast to the solemn meeting of students seeking a means to ab olish war there was the booming of a cannon in front of the Armory, .re minding the assemblage of the war of twenty years ago and of the interna tional war crisis precipitated by It aly's imperialistic invasion of Ethi opia. "We Demand Edward T. Binns '3B, chairman of the mobilization committee delivered the, key note' address. "We demand," he declared, "that the United States follow a consistent policy of peace." Chairman Binns demanded that genuine neutrality legislation be en acted and that the College make R. 0. T. C. optional in as much- as it is in the poi;er of the administration to do so. Continuing Binns said, "We 'refuse to support the government of the Luccock Assails Tragedy . of War Chapel Speaker Calls Armistice `Point in Triangle of Hope, . Theory, Memory.' • • "The, Armistice, for many years, was a fixed point between memory and hope; now it is.a point in a triangle of memory, hope and a great theory," 'said Dr. Halford E. Luccock in hiS chapel address, in Schwab auditorium Sunday morning. • "There is left to us an inescapable obligation—the sense of corporate re sponsibility for the 'world's peace," stated:Dr. Lucceck. "It is a question for the youth of today. They are the ones - who will pay, The -peace 'demon, stration-of youth- all over country ,the io realiitie - an&lnghlYoignificant•and tween, youth and. - its elders, - Who are responsible for the last -war. ' "Times. make it clear that senti mentalism belongs to the dreaMers who believe 'that peace has a basis of force .and hatred. We must de velop the public mina- for neutrality. There is too much willingness on the part of profiteers to sacrifice us for their gains," the speaker stated. ' The realistic way to stay out of war is to make' sure that there arc no more wars to get into, Dr. Luccock said. This necessitates the support of .collective activity for peace, he went on. "America's staying out of war apart from the rest of the world will not aid at all for ultimate peace, he added. There must be an effort, to apply peaceful coercion, he said, We must bear in mind two things: the necessity to steel the mind with critical thinking against militarism, and, if we believe in God, we must believe in the fortification of peace, since it is in league with the final force of ultimate reality, Dr: Luccock, concluded. ' Italy Won't Retrace Her Steps, Leland Stowe, Journalist, Says "Italy will not retrace her steps in Ethiopia and is prepared to withstand world economic pressure for eighteen months or a year." This was the opinion advanced by Leland Stowe, former Paris corres pondent of the New York Herald- Tribune, in an interview with the Cm,- LE9IAN on the occasion of a visit here during the past week-end. Mr. Stowe, who returned less than a month ago from France, painted an• interesting picturU of the foreign situation, emphasizing. the .positions France and England will be forced to take if the present crisis involves all Europe in war. The economic sanc tions which 'the League of Nations has imposed upon Italy, if enforced*, are likely to strengthen the collusion existing between Italy and Germany, resulting in another great world war, Mr. Stowe believes. Asked the season for France's sym pathetic attitude toward Italy in the present crisis, the eminent journalist replied: "The primary reason is that they (France) want to keep Hitler out of Austria and may need Italy's help in doing so when the time comes. A sec ond reason is that France has built tip a big colonial empire of its own and therefore is in sympathy with Italy's expansion motives. "England is vitally interested in 'Ethiopia beCause of the source of the Blue Nile. If Italy conquers Selas sie's empire, Mussolini will be able to dam' the Blue Nile near its source and thus wreak economic disaster on STATE COLLEGE, PA., TtJ United States in any war which it undertakes. We oppose fascism and the fascistic tendencies in this coun try as an inevitable road to war. "We denounce all laws requiring the oath of allegiance of students and teachers in educational institutions, 'and we demand complete academic freedom. "We demand opportunities in our curriculum. and outside for relating our education to these crucial prob lems." Spenyers Pan • Faicisti Speakers on the program in order were: Prof. Edward It. Van Sant, of the department pf economies and sociology; Miss Anna E. Hangers, of the School, of Education; Harry B. Henderson jr. - , '36, editor of COLLEGIAN; Prof. Edward J. Nichols, of the department of English compo sition; and Jules Vernik '36, editor of Froth. Professor Van Sant pointed out eco nomic factors leading to war, and the subversive influence of fascism in undermining peace. Miss Hangen reviewed the women's part in war, and explained women's activities in promoting the last war. Hit America's Fascists Henderson launched a strong at tack against the fascist attempt to restrict academic thought, condemn , ing Hearst and McFadden as the ex ponents of fascist propaganda. "These two blacksheep of the pub lishing profession, with .grandmoth crly Mr. Brisbane for a crutch, have endeavored to bamboozle the Ameri can public and trustees of our colleges and universities into setting up all academicism and free thought on a fascist goose-step-principle," he said. In closing, Henderson stated, "I feel that I must emphasize the point that the vast' number of students all over this country who arc at this very hour, taking part in these meet ings against war are not prepared to renounce our present economic sys tem. However, they are approaching the point where they would be Pre pared to say that, if war and fascism is .the destiny of capitalism, - let us search for a , more rational system.l Went Homcjor Lunch'; UyEcp essorli brief speech, as several students, unable 'to Withstand the stabbing..pains of 'hun ger any longer in. the ':interestsr, of peace, went home for, lunch. Said Nichols: "Where are the students who are vitally interested in the problems facing this county today? They went home for lunch!" Vcrnik showed the fallacy of neu trality legislation as. an effective weapon against war. He pointed out the necessity of students joining labor to fight the war-makers. Citing attempts to prevent this union, he declared, "There exist to day a great many organizations which I are trying to prevent the joining to gether of two great elements" of so ciety, students and labor, by throwing a red herring and shouting 'unAmer ican' and 'red' at those who are try ing to bring about this very union for the preservation of peace." In conclusion, he said, "This issue is not some distant, broad, idealistic concept. It is terribly real, vitally personal. We. will not fight to die. We will fight to live. Our lives 'are at stake!" the whole of Egypt. France will op pose any move on England's part to prevent Italy 'from such an act. As it stands now, French public opinion is divided, half favoring England and half favoring Italy." Mr. Stowe is convinced that Eng land gill do practically anything to preserve her supremacy in the Medi terranean. "The struggle for, domi nation of the Mediterranean 'repre sents a clash of the old and well-fed imperialism that is Britain's with the new and unsatisfied imperialism that is Italy's," he said. • "Italy, under Mussolini, presents the first real threat to Britain's supremacy in a long, long time." , Italian censorship of foreign press dispatches is avoided by telephcining news from Rome to other continental centers, Mr. Stole explained in ac counting for the authenticity of the news. Cables are subject to censor ship; but correspondents circumvent this by use of the telephone, he said. Dispatches from correspondents in the Ethiopian war zone are sent by radio. Mr. Stowe, who spent the past nine years in the Paris bureau of the Her ald-Tribune, won the 'Pulitzer Prize for foreign correspondence in 1930, and was president of the Anglo-Amer lean Press Association in Paris. Mr. Stowe, a classmate of Prof. Harold F. Graves, of the department of Eng lish compositiOn, at Wesleyan Univer sity. was a week-end guest at the Graves home here. He is now on a lecture tour which will carry him through-the East and Mid-west.

Thirty-one of the projects were prosecuted cooperatively by two or memo departments. Twelve projects were conducted in cooperation with the United States Department of Ag riculture and four in cooperation with divisions of the State Government. 'The trend in agricultural research, as evidenced 'by the requests that come to the Experiment Station' for. assistance, is toward studies on the economic and social aspects of agri culture," says Dr. Stevens W. Fletch er, director of research, in the report. "Undoubtedly this phase of agricul ture has . not received sufficient at tention, as compared with production problems; this deficiency is now be ing met. "In giving consideration to proposed project.s," Dr. Fletcher continues, "an effort is made to keep a reasonable balance between problems in produc tion and in marketing, and to main tain at all times a strong program of fundamental research." Members of Faculty Attend Judging Show Prof. William A. Broyles and Hen ry S. Brunner, both of the depart ment of rural education, returned re cently from Kansas City, Mo., where they attended the Future Farmers of America contest and the American Royal Livestock show. Professor Broyles had charge of the score card grading at the American Royal Livestock show. He used the National Computing card which he designed for use in computing scores of 'contestants in all kinds of judging contests where four specimens are used. The card . is printed in the shape of a fan on' different colored slotted cards, twenty in number, eyeletted and grummettcd so us to make accessible any desired table.

Twin Brothers Revive Ancient Sport of Falconing on Campus Kings of four and five centuries ago who spent fabulous sums on their priceless hunting falcons had nothing on the freshmen here at Penn State in 1035. Frank and John Craighead, twins from Washington, D. C., would match Ulysses against anything the ancient kings could put up in the way of a falcon. Ulysses, although now living in comparative domesticity in the back yard at 807 W. College avenue, has the some blood in 'his veins us the more famous falcons of long ago. Front their room, filled with photo graphs of former pet hawks, the twins can look out into the yard and keep an, eye on Ulysses, who is known offi cially as a duck or peregrine hawk. Falcons 'are nothing more than long winged hawks. "What do you feed him? Seed and things likp that?" the twins were asked. "Meat, beef," they said. "It makes him strong." It isn't merely a matter of placing the meat in the birdhouse. John stands about ten feet away, holding the beef in a gloved hand. • Ullyscs, who sits on his perch, look ing much like an owl to the inexperi enced, at once makes a dash for the food. lie must work' like this for ev ery meal. It's good training for "com ing to the lure" when he is out hunt ing. Picture an automobile going 90 miles an hour. Ulysses goes twice au. Bill Cooper Stars, Collecting 3 Touchdowns; O'Hora-Knapp Passing Combination Features Lion Offensive. By PHIL HEISLER With a strong offensive, based on aerial bombardment from which the enraged Wildcats could find no refuge, the Penn State Nittany Lions showed their greatest' form thus far this season when they submerged a favored Villanova eleven, 27-to-13. A capacity crowd of 10,000 saw the Lions release their first real offen sive drive of the year when Bill ,Cooper tore the Villanova forward wall to shreds with his pile-driver plunges and Ited O'Hora to Lefty Knapp proved a passing combination that refused to be grounded by the Wildcats. Bill Cooper wound up his gridiron career on New Beaver field in a blazo of glory' Three times' he battled through for a goal. His slashing thrusts rthrough the line of Wildcats advanced the ball 111 yards for the State ma chine. His kicking kept the Lions in the fray in exchange of punts. By half • time Cooper had crossed the goal line twice with Silvano buck ing to another six pointer, while Oli ver, a-sub-tackle, tallied for the only Villanova score. The half ended with the , score 20-to-7, a lead Villanova could not overcome. • Penn State gave a defiant answer Saturday to questions that have been bothering followers throughout the entire season: 1. The Lions do have an offen sive. A passing attack gaining 145 yards and line plays that netted 209 to 197 for the opponents proved this. Agricultural Club Initiates Member Quarter Century Group Honors Dr. Frederick P. Weaver For Long Service. . Only cne new member was eligible for initiation into the Quarter Cen tury'club of the School of Agriculture at the Penlylvania State College last week: Dr. Frederick F. P. Weav er, head of the department of agricul tural economics; was the candidate. Organized last year with 16 char ter members, The club is composed of men who joined the stair of the School of Agriculture 25 years or more ago. Dean Ralph L. Watts is president of • the club, and John A. Terguson, head of the forestry department, is secretary. Jons A. Fries, of the -In stitute *of Animal Nutrition, .holds the record for length of. service, begin ning -in 1887. Dr. Weaver came to -Penn•State in Fehruary,,l9lo,-as•aSsit4ant , :in agri cultural chemistry. lie had taken a correspondence course in chemistry, fated up a home laboratory in a farm work shop, and later taken a short course in cheinistry.' Before coming to Penn State, Weaver served as a chem ist with a steel company and a coal and coke company. Starting his college course in Feb ruary, 1911 he completed the four years of work and two years of en trance requirements in three and one half years, graduating at the head of a class of 327 in June, 1914. A year later he became assistant lirector of agricultural extension, a msition he occupied for 10 years. In :une, 1925, he was appointed to his present position. lie earned M. S. and Ph. D. degrees in agricultural econ omics at Cornell University. In addition to his college duties, Dr. Weaver - is a director of the Federal Land Bank of Baltimore. He is past president of the Penn State chapters of Phi Kappa Phi, general honor so ciety, and Pi Gamma Mu, honorary social science +society. this fast; 180 miles per hour. Ile is the fastest bird there is. He special izes in catching starlings and crows. Reaching full speed Ulysses will sweep down and overtake his quarry, killing it with one stroke of his claw. Then the training he has received at meal times comes in. One of the twins swings a rope which has a red piece of wood and some meat tied to it. This is called the lure. Ulysses streaks in and strikes at the lure. Sometimes he Comes in so fast the boys can't see him. "It's a lot of work," John Craig head explained. "I think more per sons would be interested if they snv how the falcons actually catch their prey." Ulysses only catches game on the wing.- The twins have had hawks which catch rabbits and other game larger than themselves. Before com ing here they freed Comet, a battle scarred veteran, who had caught cab bits and squirrels for them in Wash-' ington. There are many places around State College where duck hawks may be found, according to the twins. The duck hawks usually 'Mild their nests on the edges of cliffs where it is dif ficult to reach them: Articles by Prank and John Craig head have appeared in Nature Maga zine,. science bulletins, and newspap ers. They have just lied an article published in the November issue of American Forests. ESTABLISHED PRICE FIVE CENTS 2. The Lions do have trick plays, other than straight line plays. Pass plays in which the receiver was wide open, lateral passes, cutbacks, and a statue-of-liberty, with variations of play that netted a handsome gain were evidence. 3. State kickers have improved. A sixty-yard punt by Cooper and the conversion of points by Barth and Silvano showed these improve ments. Passes Pave the Way Passes peved„the way, for, most _of. State's points.' The first score came when. Wismer blocked 41 quick kick, giving State the, ball on .the 26-yard stripe. O'Hora shot a 25-yard pass to Knapp, placing the ball on the one yard line. Cooper took it over on a plunge off right tackle. Early in the second quarter Cooper tore through right tackle, shook off two tacklers and galloped down the field forty-five yards. Cooper took it across the goal en five successive line plunges. Rabbit Wear started the second scoring drive when he passed seven teen yards to Smith. Silvano crossed the wide stripe from the three-yard line on a center rush. Undaunted, the Wildcats renewed their attack, Sheridan marching twen ty-five yards, Kotys adding seventeen, and then a pass to Fox on the seven teen-yard stripe. The Wildcats scored on one of the most spectacular plays of the game. Kotys fired a pass to Fox who was tackled on the two-yard line. As he was about to fall he tossed a lateral to Olivar who gained the remaining yards. Kotys ocvered :the point.E yards. Kotys converted the point. Villaneva's hopes were short-lived, however. Another O'llora to Knapp pass clicked, bringing the' ball near the goal, and Cooper again tallied. A few minutes later the Wildcats scor ed on Stopper's pass over the goal line. The climactic point of the game ar rived when, on an exchange of punts, Galazin downed one of Stopper's kicks on State's one-yard line. With the Lions in this hole Cooper, who had been resting, was rushed into the game. Standing ten yards behind his own goal, Cooper took the ball from center and his foot sent it spiraling down the field sixty yardS‘, over the optim istic Wildcat safety man's head. Vil lanova's fate was sealed and Penn scouts made a mental note to remind Coach Harman's boys that the Nit tally Lions' claws are once again spur red.
