J.S. Bowman Defines
Proletarian Novel
In L. A. Lecture
. Tracing the development of the Am
erican proletarian novel and attempt
ing to erase the misunderstanding
wbiCh has arisen in the popular mind
'concerning this class of literature,
Prof. John S. 'Bowman, of the de
pertinent of English composition, de
livered the fifth of the 1936 Liberal
Arts lectures in the Home Economics
auditorium, Tuesday night.
"The proletarian novel is written
hy, for, and of the members of the,
working class," said Professor Bow
man'in defining the term. "This strict
definition must be extended, however,
to, include any political, social, or, et
onomic radical viewpoint."
"The forerunners of • the modern
novel'were sentimental, melodramatic,
and • actuated by sympathy for the
poor," Professor Bowman said. "They
help only in depicting life in indus
try."
Passing to the second' stage of de
velopment, Professor Bowman pointed
out that this stage marks the appear 7
once of the propaganda technique.
The novels in this group depict class
struggle; militancy, and everything
but the modern tear gas. .%
"There are an increasing number of
these novels being written, as more
and more of the Young writers are
being drawn to the left: Many of them
arc read little, however, because of
the mistaken idea that the public has
of, the proletarian novel," Professor
Bowman said.

To prevent these causes-from aris

Student Relates Full
Account of Escapade
Increasing drunkenness and disor
derly conduct of the students of the
College will force the borough offi
cers to become more active and strict,
borough officials' declared recently
after a - hearing of one student on
charges of drunkenness.
.The case before Burgess Wilbur F.
Leitiell, of State College, was that of
Philip Hoffman '39, who plead guilty
to the charge of drunkenness. Burgess
Leitzell fined the defendant $l5 and
costs.
Prior to the case, the 'burgess con
sulted with Arthur It. Warnock, - dean
of men, and discussed matters con
cerning the case and the general con
duct of the students of the College.

1 escapade in the hearing conducted
!Thursday night. He statid that he
was twenty years old and that he had

the.liquor store had questioned him as
to his age, Hoffman replied that he
had not been asked his age by the
clerk and that he had no trouble pur
chasing the liquor.
Burgess Leitzell pointed out that
for the past several months he had
left the matter of enforcement of stu

the late conditions, the borough offi.;
cials would .renew their activities.

Crichton Hails Theatre As Final
Stronghold of Liberal Thoughts
"The theater is the last stronghold
of liberal ideas. The press, the radio
and the movies are hopel6s."
So. said Kyle Crichton, one of
America's outstanding theater critics
1 and master of satire, who spoke on
the "American Theater" before more
than. eighty 'students and faculty at
la dinner in -the Old Main Sandwich
, Shop_ Thursday night. The dinner
was co-sponsored by the Penn State
chapter of the American Student
Union and Purple Quill.
Crichton pointed -out that the fate
of American culture lies in the left
wing movements in the theater and in
literature. The left wing social the
ater i;; the' only - medium through
which a playwright can express lib
eral ideas, he f tleclared.
"The idea of the social theater in
this country came .from the German
folk theater," he explained. "Group
theaters are waning. And they be
came interested in the technique of
acting which stresses 'bit' parts."
Crichton pointed out tlnit social
plays find New Ycrk audiences un-
responsive and New York critics an
tagonistic. "Their main problem," he
said, "is at attract an audience. The
typical New York audience is an er
mine-clad audience. They're not in
terested in ideas. They. want enter
tainment.

Scott To Design
Prize Play Sets
Players To Present 'Old Maid,'
Pulitzer Award Winner,
On March 27, 28.
Mrs. Merit Scott, who designed the
sets, for "The Pursuit of Happiness"
and "The Sunken Bell," will create
the settings for "The Oid Maid," last
year's Pulitzer Prize play, which the
Players will present Friday and Sat
urday, March 27 and. 28, under the
direction of Frank S. Neusbaum.
The scene of the play is in old New
York from the 1830's to the 1850's,
where a firmly entrenched society
holds sway. Regency, Empire, and
Victorian period furniture; side
burns, high hats, and leg-fitting
trousers; petticoats and full skirts
are the styles.
Each set is being built within the
other, so that after each act the only
operation required to show change
will be the removal of the previous
set be achieved. The delay in "strik
ing" one set before another could be
!'raised" will be eliminated.
Albert E. Kline '3B will stage the
entire production under the supervi
sion of Arthur C. Cloetingh, director
of the division of dramatics. Eleanor
Saunders '3B, property manager, and
Beulah F. Cerheim '39, assistant,
have' the job of finding period furni
ture for the production. Frank L.
Herr '3B will manage the lighting.

Old Maid" will be the first amateur,
Showing of the piny in Pennsylvania.
The original company, with Judith
Anderson and Helen Menken in the
"ending roles, played at the Forrest
Theatre in Philadelphia the week of
October 1. Reviews of that run de
:cril,e the play as "rich in ironic lin
-dications, and of poignantly pathetic
appeal."
Zoe Akins, who dramatized "The
Old Maid" from Edith Whartou's
novel, is one of the leading American
Ilaywrights. Recently she has been
with the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer stu
:is in Culver City, Calif. One_of her
vast, successful original stories for
;he screen was "Morning Glory," the
picture in which Katherine Hepburn
made such a conspicuous hit.

was terrific. The New York critics
damned it. But, the producers didn't
chine The play. They went in search
of the audience which would sec its
own problems mirrored in this type of
play. And they 'rental it. 'Peace on
Earth' ran fourteen weeks."
The fact that. "Peace on Earth" had
had such a long run worried the crit
ics, Crichton said, especially since
their condemnation of a production
usually means that it closes. The
critics began to be swerved by pub
lic opinion, he pointed out. Their re
marks. be said, are colored by the
public's reaction.
"The strength of the' left wing
movement hi the theater is that it
nays something," the speaker declar
ed. "It has a basic philosophy be
hind it. A body of ideas, a firmness
of mind, a philosophy of thought does
enrich an art. When you haven't got
faith in an idea, you haven't got much
faith in art,"
Kyle Crichton named his choice of
American authors. "I think that one
of the finest writers we have is
Thomas Wolfe. I think he is a ge
nius. I• wish be were a left-wing
writer—l wish he were with us."
Noting some audible disagreement
on the part of his listeners, Crichton
went on: "Of course, when that man
says, 'Ah, Spring . . . ' I. skip the
next forty pages."

Of Next Year
Body Decides To Lift
Regulations After
Xmas Holiday.
Campbell, '3B Appointed
Liberal Arts Delegate
Setting forth the class cuslomS for
next year at a recent niheting, Stu
dent Council decided this week that
lall customs for the class of 1940 shall
be lifted by Christmas vacation of the
next school year, Ralph T. Irwin 'l6,
secretary of the organization, also an
nounced the appointment at the same
meeting of Charles It. Campbell 'lB
:o fill the unexpired term of Stanley
Schneider, former Liberal Arts coun
cil representative.
Radical changes were effected in
the, freshman class customs. Done
away with were the regulations re
quiring that freshmen wear black sox,
carry matches, keep their hands out
of their pockets, and not walk or loaf
on the front campus wall. Irwin ex
plained to the COLLEGIAN that black
;ox were too hard to see, and that
most men students who smoked car
ried their own matches. He pointed
out that this custom only hit the
freshmen who were not habitual smo
kers. The other customs were drop
ped chiefly because of no longer being
regal led as regulations, he said.
Name Cards for Month
, All 1510 men who will embark on
a four-year course and are not twen
ty-one years old by the time Fresh
man Week begins will be required to
undergo customs. Students transfer
ring from a two-year to a four-year
course will be required to serve one
year. "Equity can be secured from
Student Tribunal at its first meet
ing," Council declared.
Next fall's men will have to wear
41ein„lireritilication,badgeawith.narno,
home town; and curriculum for a
.nonth the coming year instead of the
Jsual two weeks. Such rules as com
pulsory attendance at athletic con
.ests, smoking on the campus, walk
ing on the grass, and wearing of disk
and black tic arc included. The hand
book, or "bible" as it is known, is
again to be carried at all times.
May Date Sooner
Exceptions to the dress customs arc
mule only on trips, holidays, when
entertaining mothers and sisters, or
when "escorting young ladies at
times of house parties, house dance,
or all-college dances." A holiday for
Iress customs will exist every week
from 12 o'clock Saturday to 8 o'clock
Monday morning.
PoSsibility that freshmen may be
allowed to date after Thanksgiving
was implied when the Council said
that the three-mile restricted dating
cone rule would he enforced rigidly
3ntil Thanksgiving.
Oberlin Theology Dean

Dr. Thomas Wesley Graham, dean

"Jesus came into a world of prob

It that time, was socially at odds, in
:ustrially distraught, and had a high
ly organized slave order. filets in
those times were profoundly skeptical
of religion, as we are skeptical of the
sanctions of faith. Jesus found it
necessary to look at the problems and
:ontrive a program, the application
of which he could feel things would
in made better."
Jesus realized that a new world or
der couldn't be made front the old in
dividuals and that a different type
must come to be, said the speaker.
The first need of life was repent
ance; the individual should ruthless
ly study himself, Dr. Graham said.
By the way of repentance we must
try to get more men and women whose
motives are not those of .the past
and whose andlitions are new, Ile said.
Until a new character is made there
is no possibility of a new society,
