ffemt §tatr £ (Eollrgt Volume 33—No. 10 Parents To Petition New Dormitories for Women; Hear Dean Ray on Topic Organization To Issue College Trustees' New Plans Group Seeks Adequate Recreation Facilities The Association of Parents of Penn State at its annual business meeting held in the Little Theatre,- Old Main, last Saturday morning, moved to petition the College Board of Trustees for adequate women’s dormitories and a women’s recreation building. This followed the address of Dean Charlotte E. Ray, dean -of women, in which she stressed the need of women’s dormitories and recrea tional facilities by stating that the campus dormitories at present can accomodate only 400 of the 1000 wom en students. This was substantiated further by David B. Pugh, newly-elected presi dent of the association, who said that 700 qualified girls were turned away because of the lack of housing facili ties. Four hundred and twenty wom en’s applications had been received by July of this year to fill the quota of 250 admissions. Commends Student Government Dean Ray, in her talk on “Women of Penn State,” commended the stu dent government on its good sense, fair play, and judgment. “The guidance of the Women’s Student Government Association,” she said, “is the biggest factor in the success of women students. In 1911, seven women were graduated from Penn State, while in 1936, 232 were given degrees.” The women are divided generally into three groups, namely: home eco nomics, education, and liberal arts. However, there are a few in agricul ture,. architecture,.- and .-pre-medical curriculae and one girl is enrolled in the School of Mineral Industries. “Of the women in the class of 1935, 72 per cent were employed within six months after graduation, and we ex pect a higher percentage this year,” Dean Ray concluded. New Officers Electsd Frank A. Osterlund ’37, president of the senior class, extended the wel come of the student body to the par ents, and Gene C. Ziegler ’37, presi dent of Women's Student Government Association, after greeting the par ents in behalf of the women students, asked the members of the association to consider the need of new dormi tories and recreational facilities. At the business session of the meet ing, election of officers was held. The officials for the coming year are David B. Pugh, president; Mrs. Mer rill W. Nace, vice-president, and Prof. Edward L. Keller, of the de partment of engineering extension, secretary-treasurer. The directors are Louis Corson, Samuel Fausold, Mrs. F. W. Hauer, George r. Hellick, I. M. 'Jaffc, W. Whitely King, the Rev. An drew Slepecky, Thomas Nokcs, Sr., and J. T. Harris. Mr. Pugh replaces Hullet M. Turner as head of the or ganization.. *Daddy ’ Rhoton at 70, Perfect Physical Model, Tells of Rigid Exercise At 70, a perfect physical speci men, a niouol for every, alert young man, that is Prof. A. L. Rhoton, - better known as “Daddy” Rhoton, of the department of education. Two or three times a week his Rowing white hair may be seen bob bing up and down as he trots around the track in Recreation hall. He has a set program of exercise for himself which he has followed faithfully all his life. Proudly he says, “I will be 70 in March, and I iedl as physically and mentally alert as ever.” ■His favorite form of exercise is with the medicine ball. At first they wouldn't let him have one, but now it is different.' They have given him a ball for his use only, to keep in his locker. It is a heart-warming sight to see this man, old in years but young in spirit, handling a padded leather ball better than many much younger men. His program consists of about a half hour workout with the medi cine ball, a few laps around the track, a little vowing machine ex ercise, and then a refreshing shower. , Addresses Parents DEAN CHARLOTTE E.

Davis, of the School of Physical Education and Athletics; Neil M. Fleming, graduate manager of ath letics; and Prof. Franklin L. Bent ley, head of the Athletic Board of Control, has been selected to take over Bezdck’s duties.

The action was recom mended to the Board by a special committee appointed by the President of the Board last February .Its du ties were to investigate the policy, or ganization, and procedures of the School in question. Psychological tests for prospective employees developed from'the lectures in industrial psychology which fac ulty members from the Pennsylvania State College have been delivering since 1931'in Pennsylvania industries. The lectures, begun by Dr. Moore in that year, arc now requested by many industries. Two members were added to the faculty this year to devote-their full time to the industrial psychology lec tures in industrial plants. Dr. Kins ley R. Smith will lecture in the Pitts burgh area and Dr. Albert Walton has been doing similar work in the Philadelphia district for several months. They will also give sonic em ployment tests.

Wear Sparkplugs 45-0 Rout of Mules in Ist Game; 10,000 Attend Windy, Silvano, Metro Score Twice As Gridmen Pile Up Largest Opening Day Score Since ’26; Cherundolo Stars By CHARLES, M. WHEELER, JR. Diminutive Windy Wear entered the ball game Saturday with six min utes to go in the first quarter and scored 10 plays later to set off the spark that fanned itself into a flame, enveloping the Mules of Muhlenberg with its intensity. There was nothing but a bare hulk after <l5 State points had crossed the goal line before 10,000 fans, the largest opening day turn-out in history. Outdoing: ev.en the predictions of the craziest optimists, the Nittany Liens snarled, then roared; find finally jumped up and down on the humbled Lutherans and piled up their largest opening score since 1926. Led by Wear, Tommy Silvano, and Joe Metro on the offensive and Cap tain Cherundolo on the defensive, the 1 Lion scored in every period, once in the first, twice in the second, three times in the riotous third, and once in the final stanza. Wear, Silvano, and Metro scored twice each, while Carl Waugaman carried the other counter across on a pass. Harrison Outstanding Clausen Speaks To Large Crowd Chapel Address Provides Fitting Climax, End to Successful Dad’s Day Week-end “When we forget, we fail—we fail because we fail to remember,” said Dr. Bernard C. Clausen, pastor of the First Baptist church of Pitts burgh, in his chapel address in Schwab Auditorium Sunday. The ti tle of Dr. Clausen's talk was “Did I Remember?” directed to the audience over-reaching the capacity of the au ditorium, gathered here for Dad’s Day. “After years of study, we arc be ginning to realize how deep are the roots of human action,” Dr. Clausen said. “Hitler and Mussolini are no more than symbols of the tragedy of nations and the weariness of a race; She songs of the American are sym bols of the ideals of our lives,” he said in explanation of the reason why our popular songs live. The mind is a kind of mystery; we ; forget the most important things and cleave to only those things that cleave to us and still can’t quite remember, the speaker explained. We should eva luate, select all things that enter our minds and experiences and refuse to remember that which will be of no benefit to us, he advised. The speaker continued, “Our minds are patterns of recollections; we can and will dig a deep channel between ideas so when we meet a situation, »ve will have the recollection to meet the problem wisely. “Can you make your lives do what they should?” Dr. Clausen asked. “Train your purpose, grow in intelligence and train your memory, arrange your recollections that when temptations come you will immediately recall the things to fight back those temptations.” If You Haven’t Heard ‘Froggy Bottom, ’ You May on Friday Night Have you heard “Froggy Bot tom?” t Chances are you haven’t, ami if you haven’t you should. And do you know what “Froggy Bottom” is? Well, “Froggy Bottom” is a piece of music that is neither swing nor sweet It’s kind of up and dowiv low and high, but mostly low. And in music circles it’s quite the “nuts” when arranged well. Do you want to hear “Froggy Bottom?” . • Certainly you do. And here is bow. Join that throng of folks that is trekking up to Roc Hall Fri day to the annual Collegian dance and hear “Froggy Bottom” for yourself as played by Newell Town send and his orchestra in their local debut for the year. They arc going to play from 9 until 12 o’clock. And they are going to mix it up with swing, sweet, and low. They have been practicing for three weeks now and have every thing under control. Bu if you aren’t coming just to dance and because you subscribed to the Collegian, if you are going to force that ugly word “sex” into the. picture—well, all right. You, and you, and you will be taken care of, too. For Townsend is sporting these’ days a new girl vocalist, Doris Mauchc. She’s a newcomer to the campus, a transfer, and does her chanting with u mean vengeance. And if you haven’t subscribed to the Collegian yet to get your free ticket, why you know it’s never too late. Just go to the Student Union office. COMPLETE CAMPUS COVERAGE PRICE FIVE CENTS The sensational leadership and broken field running of Wear was vir tually equalled by Harry Harrison as he led a conglomeration of State re serves in the latter portion of the game in an assault on the Muhlen berg goal lino. The, game started out wilh a con fident Mule outfit receiving and kick ing deep into Lion territory. An in tercepted pass gave the Muies the ball again and'Farrell kicked it over tho goal line. State kicked again and Farrell, the outstanding opponent of the day, broke through the center of the line and ran 29 yards to the Lion 34 yard iine before he was brought down. Pat rick ended the threat by intercepting a pass on his own 15. Wear went in as Economos recov ered Laing’s fumble and with the aid of Tommy Silvano marched 66 yards to the first score. Featured in the drive was a 14-yard pass from Wear (A Adessa and 'the beautiful 21-yard run around right end on which the Rabbit scored standing up. Silvano’s kick was wide. Silvano Scorts An 18-yard run by Wear and one of 13 yards by Patrick put the ball on the 25 in the second quarter. Tom my Silvano then ripped off 20 yards through the middle and scored two plays later. This time Schuyler missed. After Farrell’s kick which Wear returned to his own 34 from the 17, State was oiT again. Wear went around right end. for 11 and then passed to Frank Smith, who made a beautiful catch as he was knocked down on the Mule 32. It was a 24- yard gain. Silvano then took things in hand and scored after a drive with J.olm Patrick. The score was 18*to-0 as Silvano again missed the point. Metro intercepted Gutekunst’s pass as the half ended. Under the leadership of Harrison, the Lions lost little time in the third quarter.
