In. Life of Co-eds Over 15 Years
"The life of the Penn State co-ed,
has completely changed in the last fif.
teen years," said Miss Jiilia G. Brill
'2l, of the English composition de
partment,. in a recent interview. ''The
co-ed's life fifteen years ago was com
paratively, simple; her life was ruled
strictly and specifically . by student
government regulations; her, dress
was the conventional middy blouse
and skirt; and 'she lived free of. the
fraternity and class rivalry that ex
ists today."
In 1921 there were 300 women en

Henning Predicts U. S.
Changes in Livestock
Future development of livestock in
the United States be focused on
quality rather than quantity, accord
ing to William L. Henning, of the
animal husbandry department.
'3B will stage the entire production
under the supervision of Arthur C.
Cloetingh, director of the division of
dramatics, The play is in three sets
and covers a period of years from
1830 to 1850. Each set is being built
within the-other, so that after each
act the only operation needed to show
change will lie the removal of the pre
vious set. The usual :delay in scene
shifting can thus be largely elimi
nated.

Tentative Date Chosen
Upon the report of a committee in

a Penn State Day this year, it was
decided :that that function in a modi
fied form would be carried on this
year. The Student Union Board,
which carried on the investigation,
has set May 16 as the tentative date.
The major change in the plans for

by alumni associations.
Under these arrangements each
fraternity will be asked to be host to
four visitors: The plan will be pre

Alumni To Cooperate
With the reduction in the number

decided to reduce the number of ac

Johnson Delivers
Chapel Talk Here
Speaker Says Country's Future
Lies In Thoughts, Deeds
Of Younger Group.
"If there is great living to be done
then each of us must desire the best
in life for himself," said Dr. Mor
decai W. Johnson, president of How
ard University,Washington, D. C., at
the regular College chapel services ir.
Schwab auditorium on.Sunduy morn
ing.
It is through the thoughts and
deeds of the young generation that
the •future of our country lies, said
Dr. Johnson. Ile laid a great distinc
tion between a great life, which is
attained through service to others,
and a great place, which may mean
only an empty office. Those who have
their eyes upon a great place in life
are most likely to lose the point, the
speaker said. i
Speaker Advises Students
"To live greatly is to function
greatly." said Dr. Johnson. "Lay out
yourself in all intelligent discrimina
tion to the needs of the human life
about you. The significant places in
the world ure those where men and
women are pouring themselves out to
meet the particular needs of that
place."
Dr. Johnson advised the young col
lege graduates not to seek out the
man who could hand them an excel
lent paying position, but to take what
ever job available. By starting out
at whatever salary is given you and
by furthering it with service in it and
to the people about you, you will be
living a great life, the speaker said.
Peace, liberty and the joy of growing
are the 'rewards of great living, he
stated.
"To live greatly is to function
greatly. and to function greatly is t
serve other human existences in the
-ame needful capacities with all one's
talents," said Dr. Johnson.
