School Of the '425 sophomores that took the attainment test in English for admission to the upper division of the School of the Liberal Arts, 306 passed the examination, fifty received the grade of doubtful, and sixty-nine were failed. The fact that only seventy. two per cent of the students in the lower di vision passed• the examination, does not necessarily mean that the re• minder of the sophomores in the school will be dropped from college, Dean Charles W. Stoddart, head of the School of the Liberal Arts; ex plained. Other factors to be consid ered are the, students' rating in the language examination, his average grade and the improvement he has shown during the year. Transfer sty. dents will also be given special con sideration. Certain students will be given per. mission to return to college next year and enter the upper division. If their work proves satisfactory, they will be allowed to continue. Others will be giVen the chance to attend summer school this year. All lower division sophomores will he notified of their standing about July 1. Pa.

George L. Millets, Ohio youth lender, of the Emergency Peace Campaign, spoke on the problems of promoting world peace. They were brought to the campus by the' Student Peace Action League and the State College Peace Committee. Reverend Willets outlined * the task of the individual in working for peace. "First," 'he said, "the indi vidual must study world probleMs and affairs, and learn the facts. So many of our opinions are second handed, Often without factual foundation. Then we must build a steady peace pressure, utilizing the lobby method for getting political action. The vari ous wings and element's of the peace movement must combine in a dyna mic, united front and continually ex ert pressure on legislators. Such pres sure is Most effective when the entire nation works at it. We must work Summer Session To. Open June 29 Dean Chambers Announces Over 400 Courses; Enrollment Increase Expected. Dean Will G. .Chambers of the School of Edtication, director of the summer sessions, announced today that the main term will extend from June 29 to August 7. The inter-ses:- sion will begin June 9 and end June 26, and the post-session will start August 10 and end August 28. More than 400 courses will be avail able for study. More than '2OO in structors will conduct the courses, in cluding 138 members of the resident faculty, as well as 72 visiting instruc tors. Instruction will be offered in• 42 ;academic departments. Enroll ment is expected to exceed the 3,268 gross enrollment for • the. three sei sions;ltist„ year., A large array of courses in' educa tion and psychology will be, of par ticular interest to teachers. In addi tion to these, the Institute of French Education, under the direction of M. Frederick Ernst, of New York Uni ' versity, will be held. Other courses again included are the Institute of I Music Education, under the direction of Prof. Richard W. Grant, director of the department of music; special subjects in art and art education un der the supervision of Leon L. Wins low, director of art education in Bal timore; and a summer session library school in charge of Willard P. Lewis, College librarian.

Dairy Science Contest • The Dairy Science association will close its annual dairy exposition with a contest tomorrow afternoon follow ed by a banquet at the Methodist church at 6:30 o'clock tomorrow night. 49th Edition of `La Vie' Ready For Distribution About May 25 The 1916 La Vie will be ready for• distribution on or about May 25. Printing will be completed this week and the sheets will be shipped away for binding shortly, James H. Arm strong '36, editor, announced yester day. This, the forty-ninth edition, will in few'respects resemble its predeces sors of the last few years, Armstrong said. The current staff has felt that the general arrangement's of the books since 1930 has been far too reg ular and this year's publication has been constructed with a view of es caping this arrangement. The book will •be replete with new features. The . senior section has been laid out-with a vertical border, thus allowing room for larger por traits. It has a more accurate record of individual' activities than usual. towards that goal. • "As individuals," Reverend Willets concluded, "we must renounce the war method and find another way to set tle our disputes. The progress of civilization , has been away from the use of force and violence. We must continue this advance." Mrs. Morgan pointed out the& we have a problem not of merely re nouncing war, but of preventing fu ture wars. "The only real security for the United States is to see that no war takes place in any parr of the world. The function of the peace movement in the United States, as in the rest of the world, is to preach and. support cooperation, the collec tive system. "The League of Nations cannot be considered a failure,", Mrs. Morgan pointed, out, "when we realize that only the existence of the League averted a Franco-German war when Germany entered the demilitarized Rhineland ... the teeth of the League are sanctions, but sanctions are not effective unless applied before aggres sion actually begins. Once aggres sion has begun, the only weapon out side- of military force is a strategic measure, such as an oil sanction. Even this is useless unless applied very quickly. "Peace in the world," Mrs. Morgan concluded, "rests on the strengthen-1 ing of the collective system, the League of Nations, so that aggres sion and coercion will be stopped. If the United States is to do anything constructive towards promoting world peace, she Must throw her influence , on the side of the collective system." 8 Houses Enter Debate Tourney Forensic Council Sponsors I. F Competition on Fraternity Date, Rule Question. Eight fraternities have entered the, aiihnz&interfriiterni4i - ilebating - fOur'- , nament iponsored by Forensic Coun cil, which will begin Monday night at 7 o'clock at the houses of the entries. The subject for the entire contest will be "The advisability of continu ing the fraternity dating rules put in force at the beginning-of the college yea," Members of the men's debate squad will act as judges. Three men will 'be entered as a team from each hoime. As the con test is not a team project, each man may discuss the question from any side he wishes. There will be a five minute limit to all speeches. The winning fraternity will receive two cups. One is awarded by the Forensic Council and is kept per manently by the winning team. Delta Sigma Rho, national debuting frater nity, has given the other . eup, which is passed to the new winner each year. Lewis A. Steinhilbcr and Frederick L. Young, of Forensic Council, are in charge of the tournament. Fraterni ties entered are Beta Sigma Rho, Delta Upsilon, Lambda Chi Alpha, Phi Epsilon Pi, Phi Sigma Delta, Phi Sigma Kappa, Sigma Chi, and Tau Kappa Epsilon. Refuses To Pay Fine Arthur A..Gottlieb '37 was com mitted to the borough loch-up for three days upon his failure to pay a S 3 fine imposed upon him by Burgess Wilbur P. Leitzell for parking his car on the South Side of College avenue for over an hour: The hearing was held Wednesday night. Gottlieb refused to pay the fine be cause he claimed he was financially unable, and because he thought the fine unjust. Fraternity and sorority presidents will be indicated by the use of a small gavel set by the name of the organi zation. ,The Pennsylvania German theme has been. carried throughout the en tire book. Sub divider so designed as to appear;:like woodcuts are used throughout. Contrary to the practice of the past few years, the book will not be sold at a cost below that to members of the class. Those persons who have been in school for eight semesters have paid a total of $lO. The staff feels that it, is unfair‘to sell the books for a lower figure—even though the cost of additional copies is much less than the original figure. There will be very few copies for sale and any orders should be placed with the graduate manager's, office now, Armstrong stated. STATE COLLEGE, PA.,.EII 7 pAY. MAY 8; 1936 In Play.

New Automobile Regulatory Plans Sent to the Senate Committee Draws Up License Ruling For All Cars. Suspension of License Follows Mis-conduct A new regulation governing stu dent automobiles was recommended to the college senate yesterday by the Committee on Student Welfare composed of Deans Ralph L. Watts, Prank C. Whitmore, Will G. Cham bers, Artßur R. Warnock, and Prof. Samuel Colgate. Under this plan a student who de sires to operate an automobile in the college community is required to ob tain a license from the college autho rities. This license is subject to sus pension or revocation if the student violates campus traffic and parking regulations or is convicted of violat ing State or borough laws. The license will be revoked if the owner uses his car in such a manner as to endanger the safety of others, or if it is a detriment to his scholar ship, or an accessory to improper con duct. After considerable investigation and study the committee approved the proposal of the car licensing plan, which is similar to that now practiced in many institutions. The recommen dation will meet final action at the June meeting of the senate and will replace Student Regulation 74 for a trial period of two years. Since the plan is experimental and subject to changes in details, the com mittee thought it desirable that it be put into effect by administrative order and not incorporated in senate regulations at the present time. If the ruling is ratified by the senate, it will go into effect beginning this fall.._ P.S.C.A. Lodge Named For Dean R, L.
