Epstein Boys Expose Scenario Writing In Hollywood “He ain’t nuthin!” cries, the dis appointed autograph hound when one of the Epstein twin/ steps out of his taxi at a Hollywood Pre-Vue. No they aren’t Clarke Gable and Robert Taylor but just two playwrights whose latest show, “And Stars Re main,” is being produced by the Theatre Guild as their first offering of the season. Making Professor short story class even more of a three-ring circus Friday, the brothers explained the evolution of a scenario which seemed more complex than Darwin’s theory. According to Phil you. go to the producer with a brand new idea —like mother love with a fresh angle. May Robson' is assigned the lead, but as she’s working on‘another 'picture they sign up Lionel Barrymore. Moth er love would hardly do in his case so the motive is changed ,to love for a yacht. Someone writes a catchy tune and the whole picture is changed to a musical. That’s Hollywood! Scenarios are built up from song titles, one character in a nbvel, and even polar hears. Julie told the class that in “Man of Two Worlds,” the company rented two polar bears from the zoo at an exhorbitant price. To get their money’s worth the director assigned his writing staff to produce a story in which the animals could be used. The result—a rocky mountain opus calling for cinnamon colored bruins. So the polar bears were pow dered brown. ■ , 4 Speakers Give Views on Youth Socialist, Democrat, Republican, Communist Present Party Programs at Forum Speaking to a sparsely filled audi torium last Thursday night four speakers, representatives of the four major political parties of the State, ; presented their party’s programs for youth. Prof. Alfred G. Pundt acted as chairman and' introduced the speakers. First on the program, Alfred F. Heltman, speaking for the Republi cans, stated that his party offered youth a representative government. Heltman said that his party would j return to traditional policies and pre sent “a better program offering thrift, fostering initiative and giv ing youth a chance to roll up its sleeves and work to own his own home.” In addition he said that his party encouraged thrift instead of waste and fostered honest endeavor. Socialist Speaks Next Representing the Socialists, George Griffith decried the state of the present economic system of the coun try. He stated that a very small per centage of students ever secured jobs; in the type of work for which they prepared themselves fn college under the present system. He stated that under socialism, youth would be given the opportunity to enter his chosen profession. Griffiths’ speech ended with a plea to students to interest themselves in Socialism and work for “a better America.” Speaking third, Ned Sparks, Com munist representative, began- his ’speech-'by approving, of rthe .present policies of Republicans in calling Roosevelt a Communist bccause“these tactics are making communism re spectable and is going farther in arousing interest in communism than all of the party’s work in many years.” Sparks asserted that the is sue in the present campaign is not between Republicans. and Democrats but between Democracy and Fascism. He called the present backers of Lan don Wall Street, the Liberty League, W. R. Hearat and others— the “forces working, to saddle the United States with fascism.” Speci fically, he stated, that his party sup ported youth organizations along lib eral lines, the American Youth Act, the abolition of compulsory military training (applause) and extension of the franchise to all persons over eight een years of age. Democrat Speaks Last Last on the program, J. A. Sexton, said the Democrats offered a continu ation of the New Deal. He stated that although it was quite true, as the Republicans stated, that living costs have risen ten per cent under the New Deal, he added that they failed to point out that wages have risen thirty per cent during the same per iod. Sexton said that the New Deal stood for a “fair distribution of in come, restoration of industrial em ployment, an unemployment remedy," and sociat' security” Hp concluded that “President Roosevelt, it is true, - does not have all the answers to the economic and social ills of the coun try but at least he is asking himself the right questions.” . After this speech the meeting, was thrown open for questioning from the floor, during the remaining half hour of the program. Rev. W. E.Kroll Tells About Human Nature “Happy people today are the ones who are interested in something big ger than themselves,” declared Rev. William E. Kroll, pastor of the Ar lington Avenue- church at the Sunday chapel service in Schwab auditorium. Reverend Kroll said that selfish im pulses dominate most men to achieve success. He continued by saying that if a man controls these by caring more for others than himself he will discover the secret of getting the most out of life, and that society as an organism will be uplifted. “Do we believe enough in human nature to i*aise the level of the other fellow?” Reverend Kroll asked, em phasizing the new of rever ence for human personality in reli gion. He said that-if we'don’t we must change, for this is needed 1 # we are to build society on solid ground. STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESD. Booters Win 3rd, Blanking Lafayette IF Miehoff, Wacker Tally To Clinch Ist Hard Game of Year Leopards Again Show Strong Defense Play By JERRY WEINSTEIN Met at every turn by a stubborn de fense, Penn State’s undefeated soc cer team finally managed to defeat Lafayette, 2-to-0, in the first real test of the season Saturday. Last year, Lafayette provided a scare for the high-flying booters by displaying an effective defense that held the Lions, to one goal. Coach Bill' Jeffrey predicted that the Leo pards would use the same tactics this year, and that they did. Lafayette accomplished their feat •, by making a fourth halfback out of their star, Henry Eleneiwski. He not only balked several Penn State scoring threats but he also managed to take some dangerous shots at the Lion net. Miehoff, Wacker Count Only in two periods did Penn State succeed in getting.-goals across. Near the close of the second quarter, Sol Miehoff took a' long pass from Dick Wilde and crossed the Lafayette goal ie with a corner shot. Midway in the fourth quarter, Carl Wacker took the ball away from the Lafayette de fense scramble in front of the net and scored on another cross shot. Although the Penn State team was faced with the problem of penetrat ing a ■ carefully planned defense, there were several flashes of the tricky offensive shots that featured the two earlier games. For the most part, however, the timing was poor and the general play sloppy. .v,_„ Mudd^Field -Handicap Whereas the soccerites showed skill in the rain last week, the mud on the field Saturday handicapped them at every turn. Captain Bill McEwan was particularly bothered by the uncer tain underfooting. That he was stop ped from scoring is easily explain able—whenever the ball came within a few feet of his, the entire Lafayette defense would smother him before he could get in position. Coach Bill Jeffrey was particular ly optimistic about the showing of the halfback line. Before the season started, it was the general opinion that the new halfbacks would prove a weak point on the 1936 soccer team. With Freddy Spyker and Eddie Man del putting on a remarkable exhibi tion against Lafayette that places them in the same class with star halfs of previous years, one of Jeffrey's major worries was eliminated. Change of Custom Jo Hobart again kicked off, but this time Captain McEwan didn’t escort her off the field ... it was probably wiser not to leave the game with that man Elenicwski loose . . . Barnes made a perfect pass when the game opened . . . Mandel played with bad wrists .. . and when flic fourth quar ter was nearly over, he had a recur rence of his leg cramp ... * Lafayette even kicked out of bounds to stop the Lions from scor ing . . .

WHEELER, JR. Playing vastly improved football, Penn State’s Nittany Lions reversed their course of last week and made an interesting game at Ithaca against Cornell Saturday, almost coming home with the laurels by outplaying the Big Red in the second half. Lacking a scoring punch when breaks came their way, the Lions nevertheless played a hangup game of ball against a team that was heav ily favored everywhere. The first half was all Cornell, and the second half was all State, but the payoff was at the final score. State had the advantage in first downs, ten to eight, making five in each half. Cornell did not have a first down in the second half until the final three minutes when a pen alty and a forward pass accounted for two. O’Hora Scores Lone Touchdown Red O’Hora counted the Nittany touchdown late in the third period when he plunged over from the one foot line. . Hairy Harrison set the stage for the scoring drive when he ran back one of Jack Batten’s punts from his own 42-yard line to the Cor nell 29. It was a beautiful run for Harry. He caught the ball running full speed toward the Cornell bench, cut back from the sideline and picked his way through an array of tacklers before he was brought to earth. Then on a reverse that started away out on the strong side, Harrison took the ball from Wear and went around left end for 13 more yards and a first down. o‘Hora then went through right tackle for. 9, and Metro made-it a first down on the 6 yard line. Ji. pass, O’- Hora to Barantovich was incomplete. And then State had five more plays to carry the ball over. Hooper, Cor nell guard was sucked off side twice to give the Lions the additional chan ces. O’Hora finally made it over right tackle. On a- fake placement, O’Hora passed to Smith for the extra point. Batten Big Red Threat Playing a predominate part in Cor nell’s first half touchdowns was the passing and kicking fool, Jack Batten, captain. It was a great day for cap tains, as Cherundolo again displayed his steady, spectacular brand of de fensive power. Two passes from Batten to Rose and Peck put the ball from the State 38 to the 23 after an exchange of kicks late in the first quarter. Shef fer, a hard driving back, then took things in his own hands and went ten yards, then six. and then seven to score standing up through the center of the line. Rose kicked the placement. And it wasn’t long until Cornell was scoring again, this time mid-way in the second period on a pass from Batten to Peck from the State 41 yard line. Rose missed this placement. O’Hora started n belated Lion drive in the second quarter when he passed to Waugaman for a State first down on the Cornell 22 but the half ended that threat. State missed several opportunities in the second half through lack of scoring punch, seeming only to have Harrison’s broken field running with which to make a serious bid. Again (Continued on pupc four) pic decide to organize a show boat and play to the yacht clubs on Long Island sound to get out of the red. All goes well until the first show, when Duke Mantee, dastardly racket eer, who has control of liquor conces sions threatens trouble. Bravely the troupe goes on with the show, but Mantee’s hand is seen when a solitary shot fells an innocent bystander. From then on action quickens with the evolution of a coupe to tran the black guard. How the Dartmell boys and girls get Mantee and his band combines a bit of the logical with the asinine— all of which tends to make an inter esting Thespian show. The cast and choruses have been practicing nightly, with tickets go ing on sale at the Student Union desk today and in the Corner Room Thurs day. Dinner Opens Annual Christian Association Campaign for Funds Kroll Addresses Fraternity Men State Alumnus Outlines Value Of Fraternity Life to 305 Pledges Sunday Night “Your first duty while here is to your college. If you realize that you will make a better fraternity man than you would otherwise,” asserted the Rev. William E. Kroll in his ad dress to, pledges of forty-eight social fraternities at the fourth annual in terfraternity pledge banquet at the Nittany Lion Inn Sunday night. j Reverend Kroll used as his theme the French phrase, “nob’.esse oblige,” or “to whom much has been given, from him much is required.” He stat ed that the fraternity man is a pri vileged man; that a fraternity man has been given certain advantages that others do not have: the advan tage of a continuing family life, with advice from fraternity brothers; the advantages of a certain social life, which rubs off the rough edges in a man’s character. The speaker said that no other group helps us to en large our personalities as much as a fraternity. To Our Heads cr Hearts? “We may either let this advantage go to our heads or to our hearts,” continued Reverend Kroll. “In real izing the sense of obligation that goes with special privilege, we must do two things: wc must put back into our fraternity more than wc take out of it; and, we must realize that our fraternity is not an end in itself but only a means to a larger end, a spir it of service. In closing, the speaker said, “Back of you are years of service of other men pointed out for you. Don’t - waste them!” Dr. Sheldon C. Tanner and Mr. I Harry W. Seamans also spoke before the 305 pledges in attendance. Doctor Tanner spoke of the value of a meet of this kind in helping the pledges to become better acquainted. Mr. Sea mans stressed the usefulness of sev eral groups on the campus, especial ly the Penn State Christian Assoeia-j tion, in directing and aiding the stu dents. The Varsity Quartet furnished entertainment between courses with several selections, including “Until They Come to State;” “Chloe;” “Lord Geoffrey Amherst;” and “The Nit tany Lion.” James Unangst ’37 ren dered a solo of “Minnie the Moodier.” Candidates Called For ‘Bell’ Business Staff Students interested in coming out for the business staff of the Bell, stu dent literary and opinion magazine, may report to the Belt office, Room 412, Old Main, today or tomorrow at !4 o’clock, Norman Halprin '39, busi ness manager Has announced.

In addition, he said, candidates will receive instruction in advertis ing layout by arrangement with the department of journalism. JOHN E. THOMPSON ’37 PRICE FIVE CENTS Pres.

He inferred that while it aims to aid individuals, it is making for a better Penn State. Prof. John H. Frizzell, of the divi sion of speech, injected the final note of inspiration when he briefly men tioned the work of the Christian As sociation in past years. “If we are to continue that splen did work, we’ve got to go out and fight, enlisting support from our many friends on the campus,” he said.
