And then you had told'her how almost all the fellows were planning to have their mothers here and how a special program bad been arranged by the College. You told her about the May Day ceremony—how nice it had been last year and how much she'd enjoy it. Saturday night you'd take her to see the play that was being given, "Ah, Wil derness!" She'd like that, you said. Might remind her a little of sonic of the things that happened to her when she was in high school. And it wasn't hard to convince her. Of course she knew that she'd enjoy the May Day exercises and the play and all the rest of it, but most of all she wanted to see you and your friends. Maybe it was quite a while since you had been home—activities and things doing up here, not mach time to get away. And she wanted to know what Joe was like—you'd written about him several times, but she'd never seen him. An other thing was that you had said in your letter that nearly all the fellows' mothers were coming up and maybe you'd feel bad if she didn't come, too. So she wrote and told you that if you were sure you wanted her to conic up she thought 'she could ar- But today she isn't so sure.. She's been thinking about it since then; maybe you just asked her because you thought she'd expect it. Perhaps her clothes are n't too new and when you see her with some of the other fellows' mothers maybe she won't seem to be dressed so well. So today she's wondering, perhaps, whether she should have decided to come up.' She's a little nervous about it, hoping that everything will be all right, but not so sure that it will be. Don't let her clown. 22 YEARS IS A LONG TIME It is probably a good thing that the Sunday Schol arship and Mother's Day services have been transferred front the auditorium to Recreation hall. If they had been held in the former place there would undoubtedly have been some organ music on the program and that might have Proved a little embarrassing. Last Sunday, during the regular chapel service, the organ broke anwn for the second time this 'ycar... It has been' doctored up since then" but o rehipse is liliely'to'` occur almost any time. After all, it has been here for twenty-two years and it's little wonder it's getting a little tired. In fact, at this point, a new organ is clea•- ly indicated This, it happens, is one of those ."something ought to be done about" things about which something can be done. The Senior Fund of . $3,000 has not yet been disposed of. A new organ would cost about $lO,- 000, but if $3,000 of this is donated by the Class of '3O the College administration will, in all probability, furnish the balance. Write to your Lion's Paw representative. TIIE DECISION OF THE SENATE Committee on Student Welfare to allow all students to keep auto mobiles, provided they first obtain a license from the Dean of Itlen, seems to be a wise one. The old rule whereby permission to keep a car could only be ob tained if the student could show that he needed the ear because of business or some similar necessity was al most unenforcable and as a result had become almost a dead-letter. Under the present set-up licenses will be issued to anyone desiring them, and as a result it should be possible for the Dean's office to keep an accurate check on students operating ears. The result should prove more satisfactory to both students and the ad ministration. LONG AWAITED BY '"hot" enthusiasts here, tho first local talent "jam" session is scheduled for Mon day night. The initiates will doubtless be there in full force along with the usual quota of curiosity-seekers that flock to any novelty. Whether or not "swing" is a definite contribution to the American cultural scene is open to question, but if you want to "keep up" on the newest craze of the day you would do well to drop in ar Hcktratm Today's Sam Breene Item: Sam Breene, who mired up things for Mr. Flem ing this last Junior Prom and who has probably furnished the COLLEGIAN columnists' with more copy than any other person since the days of Avon King Burke, just can't quit furnishing items. Now in today's item it seems that Sam is the sort of boy who only takes a nip now and then with a friend or a glass to keep the cold out. However, a week or so ago he got mined up with some cold weather or sonic friends down at the Markland Bar in Bellefonte, and when the weather warmed up or the friends disappeared, probably both in this case, poor Sam didn't have .enough money to pay the check. "Well," said au• boy from western Pennsylva nia to the bartender, "What'll I do? I don't have the money to pay the bill:" "I'll tell you what'll do," said Joe or Tony or Charlie, "You'll put on a white coat and serve drinks here until you've worked out that check." ALAN L.

Fun in Town Hall: Being rudely awakened from his blissful slumber on a sand pile on Allen street the other morning, Charlie Bochert was hailed before the town fathers for an explanation. Everything was going fine as he explained that he was subject to - "dizzy spells" and that his doctors, advised him to lie down wherever he was when he felt one of them coming on and that he did just that. However, seeing their comrade's pre dicament, Bob Wistrand and Don McGovern, local lit ertiteur, decided to appear as witnesses for Bochert. As we said before, everything was going fine un til Wistrand recalled that there may have been some gin floating around that night. Always quick on the trigger, McGovern and to inform Wistrand by a se ries of grimarices and waving his arms that his re marks were very much out of order and that he was to save his memory for tomorrow's blue book. Moral: Burgess Leitzell doesn't appreciate the atricals; there are sixteen steps up to his office and with a hearty send-off one hits approximately six times going down; it costs $2.8.25 to sleep on a bor ough sand pile.

FRANCES TURNER CINEMANIA "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" closes its stay at the Cathaum to night. Featured players are Sylvia Sidney, Fred. Mac Murray, and Henry Fonda. The Nittany shows a return engagement of "Ceiling Zero" . with James Cagney and Put O'Brien. Tomorrow at the Cathaum, that familiar wise-cracking pair, Jack Cabin and Sally Eilers are together in a thrilling "jeweled romance" en titled "Florida Special." Sally's heart throb this time is the rapidly rising Kent Taylor. Dakie as "Bangs", a typical gagg ing reporter, gets marooned on a New York to Florida train. There he runs into a complex of situations. There is a rich millionaire with invaluable diamonds and a pretty niece. There is a pretty hostess (Sally Eilers) who enraptures Taylor's heart. Then, there is . a gang of four jewel thieves who attempt to make off with the jewels. "Dangerous Waters" with Jack Holt, Grace Bradley, Diana Gibson, and Charlie Murray is featured at the Nittany tomorrow. Directed by Lain be•t Hißyer, it is from the story "Glory Hole" by Theodore Reeves. Here Holt plays the role of a first mate that repeatedly rescues his ship from seemingly certain disaster. Abetted by' the love of his old skip per's daughter and a wife he has ac quired• from the Seattle dance halls, he has a hard time proving his worth. But in the end everything straightens out for - a happy ending. H. G. Wells' long-waited-fm* "Things. TO Come • arrives at the Cathaum Monday for a two-day stay. Seldom has any picture made itself felt with. such marked effectiveness as has this.one. Directed by William Cameron. Menzies, it is an Alexander Korda production with a cast of 20,- 000: Featured players are Raymond Massey, Ralph Richardson, Sir Cedric Hardwicke,, Pearl Argyle, Patricia Hilliard, and Margaretta Scott. Sensational crowds viewed the world's premier of the film at the Rivoli Theatre in New York. In the fourth day of its run, 47,312 tickets : had been purchased. The film itself deals with Wells' conception of the human race in the years to come. Wars, loves, and in ventions are intermingled into a stu- Ponduous show' that thousands have been waiting to see. Rockets to the moon, the birth of the superman, the conquest of the world by a thousand flying men are only a few of the spectacles that the picture holds in store. ::Only a few:Matures ,have been h.on ' °red ' and considered ;unusual, enough to,;10 tied;'lll; with natiopal :adveitis ing • alrenCiis' fo'r the advertising of gobds of all descriptions. Ladies' garments, automobile devices, and all manner of what-nets have been mod eled after styles created in the pic ture and advertised all over the coun try.

Magazines Newspapers `Jammers' Endanger Main Tower Monday (Continued from Page One) notes in any chorus, for the simple reason that even the player won't make up his mind until he gets there. The boys are being just a little de ceitful though, because they, had a short rehearsal a few weeks ago,•just to get used to the idea. On their qwn admission, they're ready to turn on the heat. The program will include all the old favorites and if you want one that they have overlooked just call out and you'll get it. They can't pull the old one about having left their music at home. "Dinah," "Sweet Sue s ," "Hon eysuckle Rose," "After You've Gone," "China Boy," "Chinatown," "Star duA," "My Gal Sal," "Darktown Strutters' Ball," and "Alexander's Ragtime Band"—just a sample of what's in store. As a special treat a "corn" job of "Wabash Blues" has been cooked up, with everybody tak. ing a chorus. Wah-wahs, glissandoes, and laughing brass will rib this old timer to a fare-thee-well. Informality is the key-note. Just as soon as Eddie Nichols, "Hotocrat" of the 'English comp department, in troduces the boys and satisfies him self that the non-hounds are under surveillance, the jammers take over for a continuous session of barrel house—or as close to that as you can get being just above the C. A. offices. "Gloomy Sunday" has been omitted by popular request.
