- "Capitalism," Wyer said, "with all

The real danger that faces this coun

In order to glow that planning by

If capitalism is to be saved; the ex

be eliminated. One-fourth of the so

Fair distribution will 'eliminate

is obvious that the worker's inability

forced to take less from their profits

Unaffected taxpayers pay the costs

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."
The committee appointed by the
Council is composed of Arthur R.
Warnock, dean of mon, chairman,

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.

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.

Well-known Arranger
Handles Numbers
For Thespians
Thirteen musical numbers and an
entire scene with incidental music, all
by Rummel Pishburn and Don Dixon,
arc now being arranged for the
spring Thespian show "Stocks and
Blondes" by Jim Warren, profession
al arranger for Ozzie Nelson and oth
er outstanding musical groups. War

year's show, which included such hits
as "Seafaring" and "Talking Through
My Hat."
Meanwhile. the authors of the book,
Johnnie Binns, Dick Allen, and
"Sock" Kennedy, have put the script
into its final form. Kennedy, who has
been working on Thespian produc
tions for about a dozen years, is of
the opinion that more work has been
put on this show than any on which
he has been connected. Practice for
:he principals is being held five af
ernoons a week, while the chorus and
principals are working every night
except Saturday.'
Final chorus selections have not
yet been made, according to the direc
tors. Sixteen co-eds and fifteen men
arc still practicing and from them
final choruses of twelve and eight
will be picked for the final production.
The show will probably open in
Bellefonte on March 24. The first
showing here will be on the Saturday
night following L F. Ball, April •1.
Plans are being made to take the
production on the road, playing in
Pottsville and Philipsburg.
