MI students and faculty members should attend the mass meeting which is scheduled to be held in Re creation hall tonight and tender to these men the ova tion justly due them. It shotild not be forgotten that , these nien Who so brilliantly represented the Nittnny Lion his past week -end were able to do so largely because or the She coaching abilities or Leo IL Houck, in boxing, and Charles Speidel, in wrestling. We do not mean to detract from any of the glory due to the contestants by that statement but rather •to call to the attention of the public that it was because of•these men's faith in their 'coaches and their Taith in the men and 'their never-ehding and gt'ueling•search to perfect themselves that Penn State now holds the in tercollegiate team champions - hips in both wrestling and And to boxing manager, John L. Howarth '36, the COLLEGIAN also extends its congratulations. He conduct- ed the tournament here in the Most satisfactory and efficient method yet seen here. OPTIONAL R. 0. T. C. POSSIBLE It. 0. T. C. will be made optional at Penn State if a bill that has been proposed in the national Congress to amend the act on "military justice" is passed, The bill has been introduced concurrently in both Houses by Senator Nye and Congressman Kvale and the provisions of the amendment are by no means vague. In substance it is an amendment to Section 90 of the National Defence Act so as to insert a proviso that no 0; I'. C. unit shall be established or putintaintql at any college until "such institutions' shallltive. satisfied the: Secretary of War that enrollment in such unit' (ex cept in tlse . ., , gase of essentially Military schools) : is tivf and noi boinpulsory." The sponsors of the bill pointed out that there is nothing in the proposed amendment that conflicts with the military training obligations contained in the Mor rill Land Grant Act, under whiCh Penn State is classi fied. Despite the fact that the College has never been really compelled by Federal laws to make R.'o. T. C. compulsory and that there has been several committee reports in past years advising that R. 0. T. C. be made elective here, that goal has never been reached. The Nye-Kvale bill, if passed, will reach that end. It will prohibit the administrative bodies of any college to make .. It. 0. T. C. compulsory. Many lending educators, •including President Marsh, of Boston University, President Glenn Frank of the University of Wisconsin, and Dr. C. C. Little, of the Universities of Maine and Michlgan, ihave given their support to the student peace groups and other student organizations that are now urging their .Senators and Congressmen to pass the bill. In several of the investigations on compulsory mili tary drill held throughout the country many •military men actually engaged in the administration of R. 0. T. C. work have testified that elective training is .prefer able to compulsory because of its beneficial 'ekect upon the morale. The Nye-Kvalc" bill will not abolish R. 0. T. C., but will make it optional on all the Campuses of civil schools. The Nye-Kvale bill is oft the calendar •of. . both Houses, but as yet has not bon called 'out of committee. The - Nye-Houle bill will be passed if 'the students cooperate in urging , their representatives to vote for the bill. . .

CINEMANIA "The - Preview Murder Mystery" will be the•attraction on the Cathaum screen tomorrow 'and at the Nittany Thursday. This•engaging thriller fea tures such attractive feminine stars as Frances Drake and Gail Patrick, and such,old-timers as Reginald Den ny, Rod La Roque, George :Barbier, and Conway Teurle. lan Keith saves it from being a reunion of oldtimers. An unknown killer slays the star of a picture atits preview 'and then embarks on a , career of murder and terrttrism that will leave you baffled until 'the very end of the picture. Clues turn out. to be false and the solution comes as a complete surprise. Conway Tearle's performance 'is a chilling bit of 'action. We knew if vould happen.

'With Johnny. Green's band he does "I'm Putting All My. Eggs in One Basket," and "We Sow the Sen." Good commercial jobs and a lot of wallop' in the second especially, 'this is on 7609. The hit number, "Let's :Face the Music and Dance," by the same combo, is found on No. 7608, and the coupling, "Let Yourself Go," .has some tap work by Astaire to make it more interesting. Drunswick•also offers Ozzie Nelson and 'Harriet Hilliard in the numbers that she sang in the show: "But, , Where are You?" and "Get Thee Be hind Me, Satan." This woman can sing and her husband's music isn't at xll bad either. This is 7607 in the book. Tommy Dorsey's beautiful theme, "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," has been recorded . on Victor 25236 and his solo intro is as nice a concert job as you might want. The sax team, headed I believe by Johnny Van Epps on this slate, turns in 3 plus ensem ble work. The coupling •is the novel ty, 'Tye Got A Note," and it's lots of fun. Benny Goodman - .bas grooved ,"Basin Street Blues" for Victor I (26258) with the substitution of Joe Harris for Teagarden vocally and in strumentally. It's a gocid copy and Jess .Stacey fills in nicely at the pi- Ono. "When Buddha Smiles" is on the other Side and between the dom ination of the saxes and Goodman's Clarinet capers there isn't much to. choose. The rhythm is compelling with Knipa' horning up the .studio from way down under. Sex perionified is the -best way to describe 'Helen Ward's vocals on -the Goodman.recordings of "It's Been So Long" and "Goody-Goody." (They're on Victor 25246.) Listen to Benny come in after the vocal on the form er -platter. The latter 'is rhythm -all the way from the ensemble intro• to Krupa's flurry at the end. If, he could !be had for Junior -Prom they'd have to charge five a couple to keep the place from being torn apart. Dena glies its ace colored outfit a break in the Jimmy Lunceford re cording of "Pm Walking Through 'Heaven With You." Henry Wells Sings' it in a sweet romantic tempo and in addition'to 'the distinctive sax work that is the feature of this out, I fit you have some, piano' cuffing by ' Willie Smith, sometimes :called the Lion.

"Love Came Out of the Night" -has a meat.melody that will endear -itself to those tired of the numbers being played a dozen times daily 'on -the -air.
