Lepley, of the De partment of Education and Psychol ogy, has conducted an experiment .with fifteen* pairs of rats to deter mine whether they behave in a com petitive manner similar to that of human beings. Dr. Lepley first constructed a straight alley, six inches high, five inches wide, and thirty feet long, which was divided, by a longitudinal partition into two parts. Food was placed at one end, and a pair of rats released from the op posite end. In the race that followed both the winners and the losers were given foc<l. When this happened, the losing rats ran slower than ever. Some even refused to run, since they expected no food. After fifteen days of lagging be hind, the losers began to run again. Only two of the former losers, both females, ran fast enough to win the races/ Plans for Conference Released by Retailers The. College cooperating with the Pennsylvania Retailers’ Association and other Pennsylvania organizations i distribution has announced its plans for the sixth Annual Retail Confer* once which will be held at the Nit tany Lion Inn on Monday, November 9, and November 10.. On Monday night a round table conference, organized this year un der the leadership of George P. Ga ble, president of the William P. Ga ble company, Altoona, will discuss promotion problems, current trends in merchandising store operations, and the practical problems that mer chants encounter daily. The round table conference has proved to be the feature of past programs. On Tues day an authoritative group of speak ers will be presented. Their names and the, subjects on which they will speak have, not yet been announced. An exhibit of outstanding value is being arranged for the cofcrence. It will include, among other things, en larged photographs of exteriors and •interiors of the modern European stores;, illustrations of the finest work of William B. Oakie, jr. one of the outstanding designers of window display and the work of well-known .architects in designing new and re modelled retail shops. Wins Coveted Award DEAN FRANK C. WHITMORE Chemical Society Honors Whitmore W. H. Nichols Medal Awarded Dean for Fine Research In Chemical Field A member of the faculty of Penn State has been chosen as the recipient of one of the nation’s most coveted awards for scientific research in his field of endeavor. Dean Frank C. Whitmore, of the school of chemistry and physics, was notified that he has been awarded the William fl. Nichols medal for 1937, given annually by the New York sec tion of the American Chemical Soci ety for outstanding chemical research. Presentation of the medal is sche duled when the New York section of the society meets March 6, 1937. A jury, headed by Dr. Walter S. Landis, New York City, cited Dean Whitmore to receive the award “for hia studies in metallo-organic com pounds, especially those of mercury, and in the field of aliphatic chemistry, particularly in molecular rearrange-, ments and in the polymerization of 'olefins.” ’""'—"*— l —" Experimented Many Fields Since becoming dean here in 1928, Dr. Whitmore has carried on research experiments in many fields. He was born in North Attleboro, Mass., Oc tober 1,1887, received his early educa tion in Atlantic City, N. J., and from Harvard University he received the B. A. degree in 1911, M. A. in 1912, and Ph. D. in 1914. Since then Dean Whitmore has taught at Williams College, Rice In stitute, and the University of Minne sota, before coming here. He has been very active in many scientific organi zations, the author of many scientific articles, and a member of a number of national fraternities and clubs. Previous recipients of the medal include Irving Langmuir, Nobel prize winner in chemistry, and Janies Bry ant Conant, president of Harvard Un iversity. Moore To Join Staff Of NYA Committee Dr. Bryce V. Moore of the school of education has been appointed a mem ber of the state and national N. Y. A. committee which is to consider training and guidance of unemployed, youth. Dr. Moore attended a meeting of the committee oil Wednesday, Octo ber 21, at Harrisburg, which was called by Dr. Ade of the state de partment of public instruction and Dr. Sutton, state director of N.

Daughter of German Exile Finds American Attitude ‘Encouraging’ Miss Lotti Steinitz, daughter of Dr. Ernest Steinitz, German exile, whose course in horticulture was interrupt ed by Hitler’s drive against Jews, is now continuing her study of flowers as a junior at Penn State. “The notice that I was to come here was unexpected,” said Miss Steinitz, “I scarcely knew what great luck had befallen me until I arrived here to. find friendly* faces and the kindly ‘Penn State spirit’ on all sides.” Miss Steinitz declared that in her four weeks’ stay hero she has found all American people charming. “They are so interested in what one does and arc so hospitable,” she remarked. “At first I was quite frightened by the number of friends I had until I discovered that 90 per cent of all this is politeness and good manners, and only 10 per cent at the very most is meant. The contrast between this STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1936 Lions Gamer Ist Major victory With 18-to O Win Over Syracuse; Harrison, Silvano Shine; Soccer Team Ties Orange in Last 25 Seconds McEwan’s Goal Keeps Lions in Eastern Title Battle By JERRY WEINSTEIN Bill McEwan’s goal in the last twenty-five seconds of play gave Penn State’s soccer team a 4-to-4 tie with Syracuse and enabled the Lions to maintain their undefeated record of four years. The tying goal climaxed a hyster ical last minute- rush that saw Syra cuse take the lead with a goal sixty one seconds before the game ended. With the 1500 spectators still cheer ing what appeared to be an Orange victory, the Nittany captain drove the.ball toward the Orange net a seemingly impossible kick from thirty five yards out that packed so much power the Syracuse goalie stabbed for the ball after it was in the net. Lions Still in Title Fight Called by Coach' Bill Jeffrey “the most spirited game I have seen in my eleven years at Penn State,” the bat tle Saturday saw another Nittany eleven of championship calibre fight ing a fast, intelligent, aggressive Syracuse team that is the best to ever represent the Orange. • With the Syracuse record blemished by two ties—the other with Spring field on Thursday—Penn State, Navy, and Dartmouth are the only undefeat ed teams in the Eastern Conference. Navy has been tied once, and with Dartmouth suffering with a few de feats from elevens outside the Con ference, it appears to be a fight be tween Navy .and the Lions for the Eastern championshio.

Steinitz. “Next, I like the relation of teachers to stu-! dents, which seenis to be such a; friendly, human affair. One doesn’t feci afraid to insult a half-god by asking questions here.

DAVIS Professor of Physical Education and Athletics Most vocational fields arc born of social need and demand. In spite of this fact, most vocational-births are looked upon by at least one of the brethren as unwanted children in the family of vocations. But attitudes usually change with -the passing of time. The “new” vocation, if it de velops, is tolerated, and with the com ing cf maturity is actually “accepted.” The School of Physical Education and Athletics, as an agency of pro fessional preparation,-is a “newcom er” on this campus. As such, it boasts not of traditions, long-established cur ricula, or the veneration associated with longevity. The Creation of the School is an answer Jo the new de mands- of a-changm£f social.-ordcr. These demands are not merely local in scope. They represent a national need for trained leaders in health education, athletics, physical educa tion, and recreation. Four Divisions Open An analysis of these four divisions quickly draws attention to a large number, of specific types of employ ment available in community service. Some of these arc: instructors, super visors, and directors of health, phys ical, and recreational activities con nected with playgrounds; settlement houses, private, municipal, and fed eral parks and camps, social centers, athletics clubs; boys’ clubs; programs of industrial athletics and recreation; municipal and nation-wide health agencies; the dance; local- and fed eral recreational projects; private and municipal country clubs; and such national organizations as the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts. Positions Are Varied In addition to this type of employ- I ment, there are vocational opportuni ties related directly to private and public education. Included in this list of positions are: instructors and su pervisors of physical education in the elementary, junior, and senior high schools; directors of physical educa tion and athletics in town and city school systems; teachers of health; therapeuiic experts; health counsel ors; health coordinators; coaches of specific sports; directors of outdoor recreation; and teachers of such spe cial activities as the dance, aquatics, ami pageantry. Demand for Students Rising Each succeeding year has found an increase in the demand for men and women from the Pennsylvania State College trained in these fields. The demand is most marked for men who have demonstrated their ability in, and knowledge of athletic sports and for women with a thorough training in physical education and health. The School is young. This particu lar profession in itself is new. Voca tional opportunities have not ap proached the optimum. The attitude of those persons who are working throughout the country in this field is that we are “just getting under way.” More Opportunities Indications arc that the present sen ior class will have hioro opportunities for employment than any other pre vious group which has been graduated from this School. The degree to which the members of this group actually secure positions is an individual prob lem related to such factors as appear ance, the use of good English, man ners, the establishment of contacts, and other attributes common toi job getting in any profession. Harry Reels Off Run Of 60 Yards As Half Ends By CHARLES M. WHEELER, JR. Penn State’s long-wailod-for goal, a major victory, was realized in Sat urday’s 18-to-0. mastery of Syracuse as Harry Harrison continued his sen sational open field running, and Tom my Silvano did an about-face to give Nittany fans the most they have had to be excited about in a long, long time. Scoring at the end of three sus tained drives in the first, third, and fourth quarters, the Lions uncovered a scoring punch, the lack of which cost them the Cornell and Lehigh games. And the reason can be found in the ability of the Nittanymen to vary their attack without losing the ball. With Harrison the open field threat, and Silvano plunging mur derously for the first time in two years, the Lions had just that. Sensational as Harrison’s work was, it was the unexpected form of Silvano that made State’s first win over Syracuse since 1929 all the more sweeter. And never in tjie series be tween the two schools was the differ ence in score more than two touch downs before Saturday. Lions Start Early The Lions started their first scor ing drive early in the game as Sil vano and Bill Denise, starting his first game, spearheaded an attack that carried seventy-two yards to the goal line, which Denise crossed from the 11-yard line, untouched, on a de layed reverse. ' Short lateral passes played an im portant part in tliis drive. Even after Syracuse thought they had stopped the ball carrier, State plugged for ward by flipping short but effective laterals to mates who continued the march down the field. (Continued on page four) Transfer Totals Set New Record College Grants 226 Admissions , For New Mark; Graduate School Increases A total of 226 transfer students, the largest number in, the history of the institution, were granted admis sion to the College this fall. They come from 108 different institutions, representing every section of the United States, in addition to Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone, France, and Great Britain. In keeping with the undergraduate ratio, almost 70 per cent of these new students are men. An outstanding feature was the increase in admis sions from junior collcgos. Twenty one per cent of the total are former junior college students. The number of graduate students admitted has also increased, 170 en tering since July of this year. Again every section of the United States is represented, as well as Puerto Rico, Czechoslovakia, China, and Germany. It is interesting to note that almost 70 per cent of the new graduate stu dents conic from colleges other than Penn State, showing that the gradu ate school attracts to a greater extent students from other well-known col leges and universities situated in nearby as well as far distant lands. Students in Poll of 94 Colleges Favor Alf Landon for President If it were loft up to the college stu dents of America as to which presi dential candidate would fill the White House for the next four years, indi cations are that the governor of the prairie state of Kansas, Alf M. Lun don, would be their choice. In a recent poll of ninety-four col leges in thirty-four states, Landon re ceived 233 electoral votes to 206 for President Roosevelt. Democratic par tisans will be interested to know that their candidate for rc-olcction was given a slight vote margin. The poll was conducted by the Dai ly Pmicctonhm and the Vassar HI is ccllany Neurit. The editors of the poll said it is the largest of its kind ever conducted. Landon’s large electoral vote came from carrying New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and all the an. To Open Artists Course HANS KINDLER Reed To Discuss Laws on Hunting Centre County Game Protector To Give Talk Tomorrow To Local Hunters Incidental to the opening of Mint ing season on Friday, November 6, Sam Reed, Centre County traveling game protector, hafe agreed to' be on hand in room 301 Rec Hall at 7:30 o’clock tomorrow night to answer all questions by students and townspeople in regard to the protecting and hunt-! ing of game in Pennsylvania. j Such questions as those relating to I the open season and bag limits cn I wild turkey, ring-necked pheasants, ruffled grouse, rabbits; and squirrels will be discussed together with the new nine o’clock rule, rules on the use of blinds and dogs, rules on trapping, where to get a license, and any other question that may be asked. Included on the program will be a talk by Charles Stoddart, well-known local hunter, in which he will gibe some valuable tips on hunting in the vicin ity. of .State. College. . _ Secured By Conger • Mr. Reed was secured for this dis cussion by Ray Conger, instructor in the School of Physical Education and Athletics, after a talk at a meeting of men interested in outdoor activities in which he stated that over sixty Penn State students have already been apprehended this year for vio lation of the state game laws. Thus far none of' the students caught have Been fined. Mr. Reed stat ed that unless some program succeed ed in lessening the number of student offenders, there would be no alterna-; tive but a fine for all offenders. Advisers Render Real Help to Student Body The advisory . system of faculty counselors has been of real value to both the student and the college, says Dean Charles W. Stoddart, of the School of the Liberal Arts. With the establishment of the lower division a larger amount of work has been distributed to the advisers, he explained. There are 21 advisers for the freshmen and 2G for the soph omores with an average of from 20 to 25 students for each. This advisory group holds meetings, discusses individuals who arc on the borderline in their scholastic work, works out the scheduling in the first two years, and in accordance with the schools, suggests the possible sub stitutions, he said. j New England states. The major party candidates were; far in front of these of the minor par- j tics. Norman Thomas, Socialist, nosed out Earl Browder, Communist, for third place. William Leinke, Union party candidate received little support from the college students. As was expected, Roosevelt polled a great deal of his electoral votes in the southern states. He also received strong backing- in the Mid-west. The Collegian has conducted two polls on the presidential election this semester. The one taken at the time of registration returned a 1.7 to 1 majority in favor of Landon. The soe •ond poll, conducted Hast wteek, re vealed Roosevelt the winner. The straw vote taken by the Colle gian at registration was included in the Prhicctoniuii tabulations, and furnished Landon with his Pennsyl vania majority. COMPLETE CAMPUS COVERAGE PRICE FIVE CENTS Shan-Kar, His Hindu Ballet, Will Perform Artists Course Names Orientals for 2nd Of Series Dr. Marquardt Signs Dancers For Jan. 19 Shan-Kar and his Hindu Ballet will be presented as the second number in the 193 G-37 Artists Course series on Tuesday, January 19, according to Dr. Carl E. Marquardt, College Ex aminer, who is chairman of the Course committee. The Hindu Ballet-will follow the National Symphony Orchestra on the Artists Course program. Under the direction of Hans Kindler, the Orch estra will come here on Wednesday, December 9. Appearing in America for six weeks, Shan-Kar brings a new reper toire of unusual productions featur ing his company of Hindu dancers and musicians. In interpreting the dances of his native India before the American public last season, Shan- Kar received unanimous praise from the critics for his exotic art. Was Famous in Art and Music A master of rhythm, exquisite in costumes, artistic in pose and gesture, Shan-Kar brings the culture of old India. He was born in the artistic center of the country, Udaypur, and after receiving his education in Eng land, was persuaded by that famed ballerina, Anna Pavlowa, to desert art and music, in which he had already acquired fame, for the dance. Shan-Kar’s first success was Pav -1 lowa’s greatest, and he was acclaimed throughout the continent when he be came her partner. He soon returned to India, made a thorough study of the native dance, and supplanting Western musicians and their instru ments with the Hindu, he returned to Europe and later to America where he appeared with still greater success. Campus Patrol Locks Safes, Windows; Profs Forget The old joke about the absent l minded professor can easily be proven ia fact if the figures recently released jby the Campus Patrol can be taken I for proof. During the first ten months of 193 G the Patrol has found 18 safes un locked in the various buildings and has closed them. Over 4000 windows left opened have been properly at tended to by the officers on the night patrol. Doors of the many campus buildings have been unlocked, shut and locked almost 3000 times since the beginning of v thc year. Our worthy instructors have also been careless in turning off the lights for the patrol officers have found about 9500 lights left burning. Since the first of the year water faucets and steam valves have been closed 1343 different times. In addition to this night work, the Campus Patrol has parked 21,000 ears at the various events held on the campus during the year, the total at- | tendance at these affairs being well jever 200,000 people. They proudly J point to the fact that there is no rec ord of an accident when the curs were parked under their care. The Patrol’s most important work is that of recovering lost articles. For the first ten months of 1936 about 51000 worth of goods have been re turned to their owners.
