Speaker Rates Justice . AS.lst Virtue "We cannot halve men treating nice kindly until we have them treating one another justly," said , Dr. Frank Hingdon, president of the University of Neviark, in his chapel address on "The Primary Virtue of Human Ad justment" in Schwab auditorium Sun day. Men arc likely to think of justice as a cold, impersonal virtue, Dr. Kingdon explained, but it-is one of the most personal because we take it into' account through our own inter ests. The lack of justice as an element Of adjustment may bruise personality or even , ruin the life of the person who does not receive ,a just chance, Dr. Kingdon pointed out. Such deal-, ing in terms of fractional knowledge is more than often harmful rather than helpful, he continued. Dr. King; don applied this principle to our. in ternational relationships, in stating that if we could know the whole situa tion in' Japan we would find implica tions that made the Japanese as much inthe right 'as we now consider them in the wrong. ' We need to temper our spirits with appreciation and consider that other people are as good and as 'important as we are as a nation, Dr. Itingdon Wed. oSemt-Illleekly • 31 3 Ar.

F.W. Post Established Here James T. Dugan '37 was unani mously 'elected Commander of the Pennsylvania State College Post No. 1 of the Veterans of Future Wars at an organization meeting of future ex service men last Sunday 'night. The landslide of votes which rode Dugan into office was said to have been due to his probable outstanding future war record, although this could not be verified. . The charter for the local post was received .from National Headquarters Last week and every effort is being made to organize fully in time for the anti=war demonstration on April 22, Commander Dugan' stated. An inten sive membership . drive among under graduates and townspeople is now un der way here, he 'said. "Membership in the organization is limited to a very select group—all male citizens between the ages of 18 and 36—they being the ones who will see service 'next," Dugan stated. "Al though' our brother veteran's organi zations charge dues to their members, we . have done away with this—unless some emergency arises; however; in order not to destroy all precedents set up,by veterans' groups, a fee of twenty-five cents is being charged each new member in order to support our huge lobby group in Washing ton," the bespectacled Commandant explained apologetically. "That - this laudable movement should be taken as a joke, is unthink able," Dugan declared. "We are in tensely serious, :.02,1 posts are being. STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1936 `Stocks and Blondes' Will,Open 50th. Year of ThespiaOhows With several coal engagements pending,. "Stocks and Blondes,". Thes pian spring musical show; will open here before an Interfraternity Ball week-end audience Saturday night, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the club's activities on this campus. Costuming for the show, which cen ters about the riotous life of the "Rob ber Barons" of the Reconstruction Period, is on the largeit scale ever attempted by the Thespians. Over 100 costumes have been designed and executed for the show by, the Van Horn costume house of Philadelphia, one of the leading theatrical costum ing concerns in the country. . Just as authors Dick Allen ' and Johnny Sinns wrote the book for the show in order to make the historical events as authentic as possible, so did the costumers endeavor to carry out every.detail of costume for the pro duction which involves the curious combination of big business and the. atrical activity. The story centers about the activi ties of the three financial "barons" of the post-Civil War period Jim Fiske, Jay Gould, and Daniel Drew. Their efforts to issue 20,000 shares of wa tered stock and subsequently to gain a corner on the world's gold, are re counted in the story. The secondary. plot concerns the "love triangle" in which, Jim Fiske, hiS wife, and his. secretary are in volved. Charles C.

As a hobby, the art requires little • expen diture, but patience and painstaking care are personal requisites. Miss Julia G.

The Purple Quill.has, developed rapidly as an artistic group, with the officers desiring to enroll as many stu dents interested' in the creative arts as possible. formed all over the country so fast that it,. is difficult - to keep count of them. The number was 118 when the last official count was made," he stated. • "As stated in our Manifesto," the. Commander, pointed out, "we are neither for nor against war. We mere ly realize that regardless of our atti tude toward war or whatever at tempts may be made to avoid it, war is inevitable under our present sys tem. Therefore,, to safeguard our economic security, we have organized. "Furthermore, we believe • a study of• histOry shows that it is customary to pay all, war bonuses • before they are due, 'therefore we demand pay ment now It is but common right that this bonus be paid now for. many will be killed or wounded in the next war, and hence they, the most deserv ing, will not otherwise get the full benefit of • their country's gratitude?'

C. classes last winter were heard in the Metropolitan press last: week when leading papers carried stories on an investigation of the Department of Military Science and Tactics here‘on orders of Secretary of War Dern at Washington. The investigation 'was ordered as a result of a' protest lodged against officers of the Department .by Edwin C. Johnson, of New York' City, secre tary of . the Committee'on Militarism in Education. Charging "outrageous conduct" on the part of officers here, Johnson demanded that if the charges were true Major Arthur F.

Michael Baker jr. has been ap pointed to the position of borough en gineer of State College, it was an nounced last week. He will assume hiA "duties tomorrow and will work part-time until June.. After gradua tion, he will begin regular work. In commenting, on the appointment, Prof. Robert E. Minshall, of the de partment of civil engineering, Presi r dent of the council, said: "The prin cipal reason for our awarding him the position •was that at least three members of the council knew him and were familiiir with the quality of his work. He has shown considerable ability at organization, and is old enough and has . lied sufficient ex perience to lie successfull at the work, we believe." . . Professor Baker confirmed the re : port that one of the reasons for pick ing Baker was that council members had favorably considered selection of a comparatively young man with the thought in mind` of training him' so that a city manager system could be established later on, if the citizens so desired. Importance of Civil Fingerprinting Outlined by Dennis, Patrol Captain The great loss of life during recent floods led Captain William V. Dennis, chief of the campus patrol, to empha size again the importance of civil finger-printing.. . . "Finger-printing is rapidly becom ing the chief means of identification," Captain Dennis stated in an interview last week. "The grief that is caused by disappearances, the money spent in attempts to trace amnesia victims, 'and the general trouble that. prevails. can be eliminated by making it a ne cessity for persons to be finger printed." Captain Dennis recently established a finger-printing bureau• here in co operation with the Department of Justice, the Criminal Investigation Service, and State Police officials. This is no indication, however, that this process will put a person in the police records. "Civilian finger-printing has no bearing on the possibility of future criminal activites," Captain Dennis said. "A. civilian is in . no danger of being arrested unless he is suspected. It is impossible for the authorities to 11. F. Ball Maestro "BUDDY" ROGERS "California Cavaliers" Of Screen—Radio—Stage Rogers To Treat I.F.

While there he convinced the late Florenz Ziegfeld that the latter need ed his band in "Hot Cha," Ziegfeld's new show. He was an immediate suc cess and at the termination of the show, he moved into the Pennsylvania Hotel.
