It is .up -to capitalism to show us the -way out now. There is no hazard from the various forms of anarchism, socialisM, and fascism. The real danger that faces this coun try comes. from capitalism. To save this 'country, , capitalism must be modified." In order to glow that planning by industry is the one method that remedy present conditions, Wyer stated the following results which he obtained through his services and which he . illustrated with several graphs.

If capitalism is to be saved; the ex cess wealth of large corporations must be eliminated. One-fourth of the so called wealth of our greatest indus tries is nothing but waste. Fair distribution will 'eliminate want. There should be no mass pro duction without mass consumption. It is obvious that the worker's inability to buy has created the capitalist's in ability to sell. Capitalists should be forced to take less from their profits and give the difference to wages. Unaffected taxpayers pay the costs of highways and waterways instead of the users.

Council of Administration Will Take Steps Toward Abolition of "Hell Week" Official Action Makes Plans For Student- Administrative' Body Investigation Of Initiation Practices. Another step toward the complete abolition of hell Week here was tak en when, at a meeting of the Council of Administration yesterday it was officially decided that the effects of many of the current practices were injurious and that it was advisable to take immediate action toward the elintination of those practices. A committee of the Council has been appointed and will confer with student government officials to draw up an immediate plan of action. The statement handed down by the Council of Administration was as fol lows: "The Council of Administration has noted with great satisfaction the vol untary action of several fraternity chapters in abandoning objectionable initiation practices. There is no doubt in the minds of the members of the Council as to the injurious effects of many of the current practices. The Council is convinced that concerted action is now advisable to make cer lain the immediate elimination of such practices in initiations conduct ml by all student organizations of all kinds. A committee of the Council has been directed to confer with stu dent government officers as to the best and quickest methods of pro-. ceeding 'toward this objective."

Bowman To Give sth LA Lecture Address To Give -Development Of American I'roletariat Novel Since 1850 Discussing the "American Prole tarian Novel," Prof. John S. Bow man, of the department of English composition, will deliver the fifth of :he current Liberal Arts lectures in the Home Economics auditorium to night at 7:30 o'clock. "In tracing the development of the proletarian novel in this country I shall start about the middle of the .ast century with such writers as Mary Wilkins Freeman, Elizabeth 'Phelps, and Rebecca Harding Davis. While their writing was not strictly ,woletarian, it was from them that the next group, headed by Jack Lon don, Upton Sinclair, and Ernest Poole, developed. Rather than attempting to evaluate the literary merit of the work of these writers, Professor Bowman will show he difference in subject matter, point of view, and technique between the earlier novelists and those writing to lay. lie will pick out about half a dozett.iof.-tht., current, novels- •of this ype and analyze them. Among these will be the novels of Mary Heaton Worse, Grace Lump 'sin, Fielding Burke, and Myra Page, all written around the textile strike at Gaston, N. C. Other prominent, writers whom he will consider are Al bert Helper, author• of "The Foun dry" and "Union Square," and B. ' : Traven who wrote "The Death Ship." Professor Bowman is writing his lector's thesis on this same subject. His, interest is chiefly in the tech nique which the various writers have used in presenting his subject from .he workman's point of view. "In- Jead of presenting only propaganda, as Sinclair did, the modern writer is now concentrating on writing a good story and allowing the reader to draw his own implications," Professor Bow man said. New P. S. Camera Club Drafts Constitution At a recent meeting the newly formed Penn State Camera dub elect ed officers and drafted its constitu lion. Silom S. Horwitz '39 was elected president, Robert W. Wertz '3B secre tary-treasurer. Thirteen students have become members of the club, organized to further interest and knowledge in photography. Several exhibits of prints made by the members are planned for their activities this sem ester. will bestow halos upon those people that they think deserve them, be it either for commendable acts commit ted or resisting temptation and not doing other deeds. Even Saint Peter and his cohorts were stopped by the problem of who was the owner of the athletic policy. However, by calling a convention of the heavenly host it. is believed that they may be able to find a father for the honiell policy and award it to him at the dance. Instructors and administrative offi cials of the College will also be sub ject to awards. An appropriate gift will be given to the instructor that takes most of the hour in taking the roll of the class and an alarm clock to the professor who holds the rec ord for keeping his classes the long est after the time for dismissal has passed. The awards and those who will re ceive them will be determined by the members of Sigma Delta Chi, honor ary journalism fraternity, which is sponsoring the dance. ESTABLISHED 1904 PRICE FIVE CENTS Dean Warnock stated that he would hold an informal meeting with the of ficers of the Interfraternity Council and the Student Government board to determine who should serve on the student committees in the investiga tion. Dean Warnock also stated that the Council chose to settle the matter by tho joint action of student repre sentatives with administrative offici als rather than by only administrative action. - - The - attion Uist is littYpo.nthi is Seen as a result of the efforts of the COLLEGIAN and other groups in at tempting to bring about action, and the reports of injuries and damagep done- to persons and . property by the initiation tactics of several groups. Administrative abolition of Hell Week in several Eastern colleges and universities has been announced. The administration of Lehigh University stated that they have set a date whereby all fraternities must declare whether or not they abolish this prac tice and that all those refusing to quit that form of initiation will be block; listed by the administration.
