News Editor This Issue Friday, September 18, 1936 “DEFERRED FEES HERE” HE HAD STOOD in line for two hours and at the end of that time he was further away from the deferred fees window than he had been whe|i he started. Chiselers had got into line ahead of him fast er than the single official at the window could handle the students. He came back in the afternoon and found that he had lost his place. He was shoved around by campus cops and moved from one line to another. Late., in the afternoon he got to the window and arranged for to have his fees deferred. As he walked away he muttered: “Just wait until the Collegian hears about this.” Well, here’s the dope: The whole mess up at Recreation hall Tuesday was one of those things which administrative officials eu phemistically term an “unfortunate incident.” No one in particular is to blame, although a little foresight might have helped— at least partially—to prevent it. The deferred fees lino has always been long. This year, however, more students than ever before desired to postpone paying their money. A certain amount of congestion was inevitable. To make matters worse the man assigned to handle deferred fees was one new to the job. This was due to the sudden resignation of Wil liam G. Murtorff, College Treasurer. Those who were in charge of registration should have realized that a new man would not be able to handle the students quickly enough to prevent conges tion. They did not. But when they did find it out they took steps as quickly as possible to relieve the situa tion. Two more men were assigned to the job and eventually things were straightened out. Since that time a committee has been appointed to study ways and means of dealing with the deferred fees applicants in a more efficient manner. So those of you who were planning to take your lunches with you next semester probably will not find it necessary; SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM DEPARTMENT “In the interests of a more extensive athletic pro gram for all students and a desire to elevate the plane of intercollegiate athletics, the College does not offer athletic scholarships.’’ —Page ;77, of the General Catalogue of the Penn sylvania'State College. “After learning about Penn State, why did you de cide to enroll .here? Be specific!” . . . “Have athletic scholarship.” —Evccrpt from the registration card of one of Penn State’s most promising freshman athletes. RUTS AND BOLTS Always remembering that students here come for the most part from families.who consider the Republic an party an institution only slightly inferior to the Church, the Collegian straw vote shows some hopeful signs. As expected, the upperclasses were a little less strongly for Lnndon than the freshmen. They still favored him slightly, but the margin was not so great Had the vote been taken at the end of school rather than at the end of a summer vacation this margin might have been reduced even more. Three months at home put them deeper in the “rock-ribbd” Republican rut. In the final vote the tendency to bolt from party lines is even more noticeable than in the freshman vote. While Roosevelt is nearly a'hundred votes ahead of his party, Landon is nearly fifty behind. This seems to denote both dissatisfaction for the handpicked Repub lican nominee and enthusiasm lor the New Deal cam paign. Quite a few of the votes probably came from members of minor parties, since the minor candidates polled less votes than their parties. But where, Mr. Hearst, is the avalanche of votes, for Comrade Browder? THE PENN STATE CLUB, although moved into a larger room, has not had space to accomodate all the freshmen who are interested in this non-fraternity group. A large number have already joined, proving that there are plenty of men who are interested in the social life which the fraternity can provide, but who cannot afford to join a house. The Penn State Club is not a complete solution to their problem, but at least it is a helpful remedy. Notes on Perseverance: We didn’t mean to be snooping but we just could n’t help hearing the conversation of three girls who were walking ahead of us up the campus. The con versation went something like this, a tall buxom blonde doing all the talking: “So he asked me for a date for this Friday and I told him I was busy, so he asked me for a date a week from Friday and I told him no, I had arrangements made, so he asked me for a date two weeks from Friday and I told him I had other arrangements made,' and then, mind you, he asked me for a date three weeks from Friday, so what the hell could I do but accept.” The New Yorker again takes the prize for the best cartoon of the week. It pictures two anemic daughters of prosperous American Individualism re clining in their penthouse garden with the one saying ‘to the other, “Well, I’ve finally decided to go to col lege. All you can lose is four years.” Charles M. Whaler, jr. '3B Woodrow W. Bierly ’3B Return of the Natives: Jim Dugan, just back from an extended tour on which he visited Jim Watson, ex-Campuscer, and Mrs. Watson, formerly Snem Herbst, walked past booth 14 in which were seated a much-pleated fratman and a rusheo. The fratman, thinking that he would do the neophyte a favor by letting him in on one of the more colorful characters of the campus, pointed to Dugan and whispered, “That’s Jim Dugan of Mug and Jester fame.” The freshman looked, thought a moment and asked, “Where’s the Jester?” Back to the campus after spending a year at Lingnan University in China (He’ll tell you about it) Les Benjamin was going around greeting his old friends. Things were going fine until he saw Ridge Riley walking down the campus. Recalling the times he had worked with Ridge covering freshman base ball, Les hurried toward him. “Hello, Ridge, ole’ boy,” Les hollowed. “Where the hell’s that score book you borrowed from me two years ago?” Ridge answered. Fashion Note: It all started when a shapely freshman girl goes into the Library, stands in line, and when it comes her turn, asked the librarian, “Where can I park my bicycle?” Now It seems that that is one problem that the Campus patrol has not solved as yet. How ever, the librarian, sensing something out of the or dinary, began questioning the freshman about the bicycle. “Oh,” the girl said, “I didn't rent the bicycle, I brought it along to school with me. I read in Vogue and Harpers Bazaar that practically all college girls ride bicycles on the campus when they are at eollege. I got my bicycle out front. It won’t get stolen be cause I got a lock for it.” Campusetles, The gag of scheduling Prof. Werner’s novel course Wednesday and Saturday at 8 o’clock in order to discourage what the Maniac calls “an influx of nondescript students,” proved to he double edged. Prof. Werner missed the first meeting of the class himself-... A freshman reading in the time table “Engl Comp 1 Aud.

Obie Ober holtzcr ’36 was pleased when he returned and found his brothers busy rushing but when he found that they were rushing, among others, his very own girl friend, it was a horse of a different color.

The plot of “Personal Appearance” revolves, around the attempt of a movie actress to carry off a person able gas station attendant. The act ress is a typical built-up movie star who had; probably just graduated from a quick-lunch wagon to fame and fortune. Thtj scene 'of “Personal. Appear ance” is localized for Penn State stu dents, since the main action takes place near Wilkes-Barre. The act ress breaks down near a gas station, and faliing to make Wilkes-Barre she attempts to make the gas station at tendant. The east will be rounded out when the actress role is determined. Wo levski plays'the part of Gene Tuttle, her manager, while Binns is the gas station attendant. CINEMANIA Last Monday night, the theatre si tuation in town hit a climax when mobs stormed the second show to see “Anthony Adverse.” It was hard on the Cathaum doors and still harder on tiie Cathaum. So the management has decided to institute a new policy to take care ’of the Monday night rush. Unique in a number of ways, this town also differs from other commun ities by the fact that everybody goes to the movies Monday and Tuesday nights. In order to handle the mul titude for “Swing Time,” which swings into town Monday and Tues day, the management is showing the picture both, at the Cathaum and at’ the Nittany Monday night. The Cath aum will open at 6:30 o’clock and the Nittany at 7. Those who cannot be accomodated at the Cathaum may find seats in, the Nittany for the same picture. It’s all done with mir rors and a messenger boy who can break 100 yds in 15 seconds without dropping reels. TONIGHT at the Cathaum is Clif ford Odet’s “The General Died at Dawn,” which -jcoirtains some ultra fine cinema;’ Gary Cooper, Madeline Carroll and a cast of people who don’t act oriental roles conventionally. Dialogue, settings, and symphonic' ac companiment by Werner Janssen are key spots. TONIGIIT-i’at the Nittany comes “The Green,‘Pastures,” directed by Marc Connolly, author of the stage epic that smashed precedent in New York, as well as all over the country. The spectacle includes a cast of thou sands. This summer, the show broke all summer records for attendance in town, ", In screening the show,'it was Con nolly’s idea to preserve the simplic ity that characterized the negro con ception of the Old Testament. The picture is done plainly, without the stupendous movie phantasmagoria which has been used in so many mov ie versions of biblical events, and without sacrificing the imaginative. As an expression of a folk concept, “Green Pastures” is without parallel in stage or screen history. Marc Con nelly expresses Genesis, Exodus, etc. as it is conceived by. the people of the deep South. The cast is excellent, the photography artistic, the theme so unusual that it creates humor, yet there is no feeHng of satire. The picture is one of the classics of the) screen. ‘ ; TOMORRO^y! at the Cathaum: Freddie Bartholomew and Jackie Cooper in “The Devil is a Sissic.’’ This seems to be the best kid picture to hit town for some time. It has received more publicity than the Shirley Temple’s latest kidnap threat. The story deals with the attempts of two boys to buy a tombstone for the father of one who is executed in Sing Sing. In their efforts’ to raise cash, the boys get tangled up with a juvenile court and a series of heart throbs. TOMORROW at the Nittany the “King of the' Royal Mounted” rides into town on a shetlapd pony. It’s a Zane Grey story written expressly for the movies, and has a lot of thrills. This is a saga of great out doors, with women hanging by one arm over deep chasms, guys getting Aased, slugged, throttled, and falling in love, scenic action, grandeur, and a woman hunt.' MONDAY at the Cathaum and Nit tany: Ginger Rogers and Fred As taire in a dance fantasia, “Swing Time.” Features arc: Astaire’s solo dance in blackface, the swing waltz, and music by Jerome Kern.

Writers Will Miss Telegraphic Comic No longer will news from Tenn State he sent out to all corners of the State and to other parts of the country by Mr. Wilson, elderly West ern Union operator who handled tele graphic releases here for many years. During the summer months, Wilson was transferred to a West Virginia station of the company. Mr. Wilson was known for his hu morous acts and for his part in the humorous acts of others. Without Mr. Wilson on the job, sports writers will find it hard to locate an apt lis tener to their gags nr an innocent ob ject for their practical jokes. .. On one occasion at a baseball game last spring, Mr. Wilson discovered he had forgotten his trusty old watch. The watch was down at the office and was needed, as the time of each dis patch must be recorded. So Mr. Wil son just went ahead and wired a Phil adelphia paper to wire his office to have his watch sent up to the Held. In a few’ minutes, the Western Union bicycle came into view, the ing the watch. At another time, Mr. Wilson or dered some paper by using the same methods. It must be true. Prof. Thomas A.
