Winifred SIMS.= 'II7 /935 Member x 936 Rssocialed Collegiate Press Distributor of Collegiate Digest Mannalnv Editor This Issue News Editor This Issue Tuesday, January 14, 1936 COMPLAINTS Of bite there have been e a number of complaints made to the COLLEGIAN about the meals in Mac Allister Hail dining commons for women. Solon of the girls have complained most bitterly about thetype of - 'food -• rc- ceived there as well as its preparation Non - , of course, it must he realized that these girls are paying out their good money, or rather their par- erits', for these meals and it is quite fair that they should receive good food in return for it But they izheuhl - not conic to the COLLEGIAN with their complaints and want to have an editorial cam- paign conducted for the betterment of the food. That is wrong. Nothing can be gained by that method Instead they should go to Dean Ray and ask her to do something about it. Dean Ray will immediately investigate and if she finds the food to be bnd she will have improvements made to the satisfaction of every- one. Then in this way the COLLEGIAN will never hear that the food in Mac Allister Hall hasn't been so good of late and everyone will be happy THE HAUI'TMANN CASE It is not the intention of this paper to giife the. Hauptmann case any : publicity.laktha L reeent. move, meats of Governor Hoffman, of New Jersey, and of Dr. "Jafsie" Condon certainly cannot .be',passed by with- out wondering whether or' not they are in the•pay of the Hearst papers, in view of their efforts to keep the story ztlivt The attitude of the metropolitan press as a whole has been disgraceful and the staid old New York Times' has been as guilty of this misguided news sense as any other paper. Perhaps it is significant to note that the only New York paper which has treated the case with restraint and without sensationalism has been the Doily Worker, the Communist party organ + + + REPUTATION That the derisive term of "Cow College," which has (kgged Penn State's heels in past years is becoming more and more of a misnomer is made apparent in all details pertaining to the 1036 Artists' Course—save one. If the Penn State student body has developed from the !Tow College" stage to a cultural point somewhat near that of metropolitan .institutions, every one of the seats reserved for undergraduates should be sold out when the ticket sale closes tomorrow night and the transition from the bovine stage authenticated. That it should be necessary to include townspeople in the seat reservation in odder to make certain that the auditorium will be filled seems strangely grotesque when the relative size of the student body and the seat ing capacity of the auditorium is considered. Student enrollment 5,419; seating capacity auditorium 1,364 of which half, 682 seats are reserved for students. Universities in large cities where cultural advan tages, such as the Artists' Course brings to this Camp us,' are available to the student body at any time, de velop their Courses into profitable business concerns by but slightly underselling town theatre competitien. / A course comparable to that scheduled for this year here would bring at least $5.00 more per seat at an in stitution ,like Columbia, for instance. In all respects the Course committee this year haS worked unceasingly for the benefit of the students. A program has been selected the merits of which arc self evident. Every effort has been made to show the ut most impartiality towards students and faculty alike; no 'comps' are given (the chairman of the Course com mittee will lay $5.00 on the line), alternate seating for faculty. townspeople and students is provided—if stu dent demand were sufficient it is conceivable that pre ference towards townspeople would be eliraitiated: . This year the inconvenience of endless waiting in line for tickets has been eliminated. Every effort has been made. All that remains is to see by the student sale tomorrow whether Penn State has delinibitly scrapped the cow college criterion or if the spirit of Penn State Jessie still lives.—E. T. S. SCOOP! FLASH!

Correspondence: Last Week we received the following letter re questing information about the boy who sang at the Student Union dance: "Dear COLLEGIAN, "Could you please tell us the name of.that goad looking crooner who sang 'Night 'and Day' so soul fully last Saturday night with Bill Bottorf at Roe Hall?

Course of their surveying, that one of the horse barns on campus had a particular kind of shingles - they weren't able to find anywhere else.. So' one day last week men were sent up to get some of the. shingles. They took off whole sections of the roof, leaving gaping holes about six feet square, and then Went off with the shingles with out making any provislonfor covering up the horses. Mr. Ebert:is worried. In Professor Banner's office in Journalism Alley are about half a (linen pictures of editors and pub lishers. One of the pictures shows an old gentleman with a long heard and' a slouch hat. Beneath the picture is a neat typed caption: "Walt Whitman, former editor, Brooklyn Eagle." .

CINEMA NIA "Talc of TWO Cities." enthusiastic ally received here yesterday, will again pe the Cathaum's attraction to day. Starring Ronald Colman and featuring a galaxy of supporting players, this faithful adaption of the Dickens classic is already being spok en of as one of the best pictures of 1935. Just 'as "David Copperfielo" was strong on the emotional side, so this is a true representation of the Dickensian pageantry and romance. "Rose of the .Rancho," with John Boles and Gladys Swarthout, will be at the Cathaudt tomorrow and at the Nittany Thursday. Paramount's first big musical of the year, it has lots of entertainment value. The voices of Boles and Miss Swarthout are well known, his, through his movie work and hers through he radio and Metro politan opera experience. This is 'her screen debut. . , Other high spots in the cast are the inclusion of Willie Howard and Herb Williams,' ace comics of stage and screen. Both are now putting them in the aisles in current Broad way productions, Howard in Whites "Scandals,'!• , and- Williams' in • PAt Home Abroad." Charles Bickford and Grace Bradley round out the cast. Two of the tunes .featured are among the most.popular on the radio just now, as well as being favorite recordings. Thege are "If I Should Lose You" and "Thunder Over Para dise:" Other• good numbers are "Lit tle Rose of the nacho" and the How ard comedy tune,_"Got a Gal in Cali forniuy." , The show at the Nittany today and !tomorrow will be RICO's new mystery, i "Two in the Dark." Walter Abel and lMargot Grahame, who scored a hit as archa enemies in "Three 'Musketeers," ' play the leading roles' this time as lovers. , • Other names :In the vast include !Wallace' Foid,•' Gail Patrick, Alan I Hale,.

The novel Sip_ ion• that makes this complex: stery es. one could want is this:- . The hero awakes with a nasty wound in his head, a victim of amnesia, 'to Bad; that he is suspect ed of committing a murder. Remem bering nothing , ' but caught in a web of circumstances,. he turns detective to clear himself. How he does it Makes for a much puzzlement, and all without the aid. of spooks, clutching hands and secret 'doors. Tempestuous Katherine Repburn Gets another 'vagabonding role in "Sylvia Scarlet," 'which will be shown at the Cathaum Thursday and the Nittany Friday. She is supported by capable enough artists, including Cary Grant, Brian Aherne, and Ed mund Gwenn. La Hepburn plays the part of a girl forced by circumstances to walk the border line between respectability and rascality. Most of the time she impersonates a boy, which of course makes for tense moments and what not. When at last she does reveal her identity, she becomes an even more glamorous Hepburn. The per formance throughout is honest, •sin cere, and able. A LOOK AHEAD: Jessie Mat thews, lovely singing and dancing star of "Evergreen," will be seen in i her new picture "First a Boy" on January 21 and' 22 . at the Nittany.

Letter Box To the Editor 'A staunch supporter of the R.0.T.C., I ant grieved that in Penn State and lother colleges students have not the ( patriotism exhibited 'by the American I Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wan. 1 and other soldier lobby groups. Stu dents have never yet made demands 1 on the federal government for funds to Stimulabe national prosperity. • _ . ' Perhaps some may question the rights of R.O.T.C. students to special !privileges but such interrogations in -1 dicate shortsightedness. Fraternity, the foundation upon which veteran (groups are built, is mode less com iplete because there are gaps in every I regiment at the end of any war. To I avoid this difficulty warriors for the , next conflict must benefit through fra ternall life now. In organizing such !fraternal groups which appeal is more': justified by patriotic precedent than ' l that of bonus payments? Of course . the bonus will be for possible future service but this is a variation of small , consequence, a modification of mac- I lice,. not of theory. IThink of the possibilities! Thou sands of voters who have been drilled (in military principles graduate each year from our colleges. Each one of these students is a potential member of the prospective student military body which I propose. Instead of becoming less and less powerful through the years, as vet eran groups, must when death takes members, the student organization will increase in authority indefinitely, especially as it will assist colleges not now so distinguished to obtain the benefits of military training. - • Most important of the functions of the group will be the defense or mili tary training. in American colleges (against the attacks of those who are attempting to undermine our demos- !racy by abolishing this bulwark i !against foreign invasion. Sponsored Iby money changers who are willing 'to "sell America short" in order to save money for themselves, criticism of college military training will be- I come, more viciously unjustifiable than I it has ever been once bonus monies , begin to trickle . regularly from the j tills of business into the pockets of our college trained militarists. But this propaganda may be combatted through education of the citizenry by ; members of R.O.T.C. in order that military training in the universities of the United States be preserved. !• Unfortunately there ore 'disadvan . - ' takes in the outlined program. In the first place many more young min will see the advantages of higher educe ' tion and this trend will overcrowd our colleges. Secondly, there is danger that th . ose being paid for future mill= Lary activities may object to risking their privileges in. actual war. How oiler, I believe that the spirit and vir ility of our . pioneer forefathers still exist in every true American. De spite education • anal material gains, then, American manhood will always rejoice in the opportunity to shed its blood. . JAMES:BARR9N,:'37 To the Editor Allow us to preface this letter with the remark that we have the highest regard for the football team and oth er athletic teams on the campus. Why does the soccer team-contin ually get it in the neck? As seniors we look back over three seasons of• undefeated soccer, with only one tied game; three seasons during which Penn State compiled seventy-seven goals as against six for the opponents; ;three nearly perfect seasons which received recognition to the extent of only one co-charnpiOn ship, 1933. But why? We are told thtat we were declared inelligible by a certain astute group ! of executives,of the E. I. S. A. in 1934 on the grounds of strangely, distorted facts concerning the trip to Scotland. The perfect season just passed is east to the winds - on the basis of a techni cality, for Which the team was in no way .responsible. As members of the team we feel that we 'have a right to question the loyalty and efficiency of the executive board which has per ndtted conditions to arise that have prevented one of Penn State's most successful athletic representatives from being recognized. We ask: If Syracuse were declared to he non-association competition, thus eliminating us as contenders for the cheished cup, why, before the sea son opened or after the schedule had been arranged, could no game have been arranged which would have put Penn State back in the running? If that was impossible, why, in the name of "fair-play," couldany organized tion, composed of faculty members of the various colleges, including Penn State, decide that it is just for such' a ruling to eliniinate a team, which, was entirely innocent of the position' in which it has been placed. As players we received our rewards on the - athletic field itself. But, since we are a member of an organization which' seasonly dishes-out supposedly honest and impartial recognition, we feel that we and Penn State have the right to expect what we justly de serve.

Nothing was, ever accomplished. by spasmodic efforts. You should realize that front your, previous , experience this year. It is easier for a letter writer to talk than 'the 'vulnerable person.'

Backing campus ,orga nizations that are seeking to accom plish the same thing will also be help ful and safer. But none will be as effective as blaring headlines, boxed editorials.
