Players., on April 6, 1937, as the' fifth' number of the Artists CoUrsc. series. • . In answer to the demand by patrons of the Artists Course for a stage pro duction,' the committee selected the Hedgerow Theatre group because of their popularity in the test poll last spring and the large following the company has throughout the country. Likened to Shakespeare Troupe The Hedgerow Theatre has often been compared with the Old Globe company of Shakespeare. While “Twelfth Night" has not been re-mit ten, cut, or censored, the handling of the script and the actors changes the action from a historic document to live, pulsating theatre. In presenting “Twelfth Night" over sixty times in thCfrast two years, the Hedgerow Theatre has gained a reputation for their interpretation of Shakespeare. Just one in a large group of plays given by Hedgerow, the Shakespearean comedy has been an astounding success. Last season, Hedgerow kept thirty five plays going for a total of 300 per formances. During the past two years, the company created theatrical history by performing in twenty states to over 138,000 people. In all, the group traveled 35,000 miles. The Hedgerow Theatre has been instrumental in developing native theatrical art. Thirty-two world pre mieres have been held in Rose Val 'iey, Pennsylvania, the home of the company. High Feeling in Germany Called ‘Superficial’ By Stanford Junior Conditions in Nazi Germany were pictured as I .‘‘superficial” by William Lange, a junior from Stanford Uni versity, who just returned from sev eral months study in Heidelburg. “The people .of Germany," Lange said, “appear on the surface to be supremely happy. The reason for their happiness is explained because Hitler 1 has.done much to improve the.condi tions of the German people. Hitler is idolized by his subjects, and he has uncanny ppwer over them. • “But all this spirit and progress is only superficial," Lange said. “Hit ler has built up an amazingly effi cient army and suffessful industries. However, the emotional pitch of the Germans cannot and will not last. Hitler will be forced to call upon some unusual happening, such as a war, to keep the interest of his subjects.” Lange spent a few days in State College visiting students with whom he went to school in Lingnan Univer sity, China. He spent a year as the Stanford exchange student to Ling nan along with-five Penn State stu dents, s STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13,1936 Dr. Harry Sykes To Dedicate New Organ Mon. at 8 Prominent Lancaster Organist To Give First Recital Student Union Offers Tickets to Dedication Described as one of the finest in Pennsylvania, the new three-manual Moller organ, which has recently been installed In Schwab auditorium will be dedicated on Monday night at 8 o’clock. A recital by Dr. Harry A. Sykes, Lancaster organist and choral direc tor, and unveiling of a bronze tablet to the classes of 1914 and 1936 will compi'ise the dedication program. Admission will be through invita tion, and free tickets for faculty mem bers and students arc now available at the Student Union desk. Sykes Popular Organist Doctor Sykes, who will play the dedication recital, is professor of sac red music at the Evangelical and Re formed Church Seminary, director of the glee club at Franklin and Mar shall College, and is in charge of mu sic at the Trinity Lutheran church, : in Lancaster. For eight years he has been director of the Matinee Musical Club Chorus in Philadelphia. The honorary degree of doctor of music was awarded to Doctor Sykes in 1929 by' Muhlenberg College, Al lentown, in recognition of his contri butions to the art of music in the Lutheran church in the Ministerium of Pennsylvania. Associated-with Kinder Doctor 'Sykes* early organ experi ence and training were in Philadel phia where he was for years associat ed with Ralph Kinder as pupil and assistant organist at Holy Trinity church. In the making of programs and in the manner of their playing will be found much that may be traced to this early influence. In his early period he aspired to and attained the degrees of Associate and Fellow of the American Guild of Organists. His first two regular church positions were in Philadelphia. In Lancaster nearly all the suc cessful younger organists are Doctor Sykes' pupils and he has had many others from large centers nearby. He had played all but a few of the in augural recitals on new organs in stalled in Lancaster in recent years. His regular series at Trinity church, Lancaster, where he officiates at a four-manual instrument, are at tended by Targe audiences. This se ries is in its fifteenth year. Seniors in Rural Ed. Inspect High Schools Prof. Clarence S. Anderson, of the department of rural education, con ducted the seniors of that department on a 250-mile trip in Bedford, Som erset, and Huntingdon counties on Tuesday, where they visited high schools giving courses in agricultural education. While the greater part of the American students in China returned to this country, Lange decided to go to-Germany to further his foreign study. In getting to Heidelburg, he passed through a large number of the countries of the world. Taking, the railroad from China, Lange went through Siberia into Eu rope. The twenty-two day train ride proved very interesting.. With other students, Lange traveled fourth class. Most passengers in this group car ried their own food, since the train dining room charged amazing prices. Lange stopped for a few days in Russia, where he visited in Moscow. He'-was rather impressed with the re sults of the Soviet plan, and expressed the belief that consistent improvement in conditions of the people indicated a bright outlook for the peasants in particular. Among the other countries visited by Lange were Turkey, Czechoslova kia, Roumania, Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium, England, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, and Fin land.

Former Lingnan Nutrition To Ai Food for the sick of China to properly prepare that, Miss Wu Tscun Woot, transfer student from Lingnan University, has come to Penn State. Asked to take over the dietetics work of Canton Hospital, China, Miss Wu is studying the newest develop ments in the field. The Chinese have little information in this field, and the Chinese young lady is doing post graduate work in nutrition. • While visiting the Collegian office Wednesday night, Miss Wu debunked the popular idea that China is a sub dued and formal country. These im pressions, Miss Wu said, come from reading books like “The Good Earth.” “The formality you people men tion,” Miss Wu declared, “really ex ists in the few parts of China where the ancestral customs are strictly maintained. Where I come from, near Lingnan, the customs arc very much like yours. Thus I notice very little difference.” Miss, Wu speaks in a precise man ner. Her English is flawless, .and her manner of speech pleasant, since she usually smiles as she talks. Always smiling, Miss Wu accounts for this Because she is not homesick Alumni Smoker in Bellevue-Stratford Tonight At 8 Will Be Broadcast by WCAU; Game Also on Air at 2 By CHARLES M. WHEELER, JR. Preceeding an expected exodus of 2000 students taking ad vantage of their yearly football holiday, Penn State’s Nittany Lions leave this morning for the Penn game tomorrow, hopeful of their third victory of the season. Beaten only by Yale and Larry Kelley, Penn is chanting “Cali fornia, here we come,” while State, victorious over Muhlenberg and Syracuse, is whispering, “I’ve got my fingers crossed.” Tomorrow’s game will be the thirty-fifth of a series begun in 1890 and will climax a week-end of activity that begins with a smoker in the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel tonight at 8 o’clock. The ♦■Blue Band and the Varsity Quartet will entertain at the smoker that will be broadcast over WCAU, as will be the game that begins at 2 o’clock to morrow. The winners only eight times in their struggles with the Quakers, the Lions are given little chance of add ing to their string against a team that will considerably outweigh them. State Backficld Light the night of the Penn State-Bucknel! football game with Bill Bottorf and his band playing. Both teams will be the guests of honor. The door prize will be given to the person whose number is drawn at 11 o’clock the night of the dance. Six notebooks with each line numbered will be distributed throughout the town which any student in college may sign once. Larkins said that a careful check would be made to as certain "wheth'er or not anyone had signed twice. The person whose number is drawn at the dance must be present and re port to the platform within a few minutes after his number is called to j claim the trip. K that person is not] present, succeeding numbers will be I drawn until the winner is deter mined. The prize will consist of paid trans portation to the game, the ticket price, hotel reservations, meal allow ance, and entertainment money. The prize winner may accept a prize of $5O in lieu of the trip if he wishes. The trip will include tickets and ex penses tor two persons.

Hcislcr '37, president of Sigma Delta Chi, national journalism honorary fraternity, is representing the local chapter of the organization at the annual national convention held at Dallas, Texas, this year. Student Takes Id Native Peoples | and the life here is so pleasant to her. She likes the American sense of hu mor and thinks Americans enjoy life very much. “We Chinese seem un able to And life so much fun, probably because of the inhibitions of the old Chinese family.” Showing her own sense of humor, Miss Wu indicated a tiny elephant and a Roosevelt tag on the bosom of her native costume. “It is so difficult to decide—with me it is six of one to half a dozen of the other.’' Debunking the popular conception of the Penn State co-ed, Woot Tseun says the girls here arc beautiful. “Particularly beautiful are the eyes of the girls. They use them,” she said, “to express fealings of gaiety, displeasure—and' the desire to be come better acquainted - with the boy across the aisle.” Since smoking is taboo in China, being considered poor taste and for bidden among the 'women students. Miss Wu says it is her only criticism of American girls . . . She says our conducting of classes differs from that in China . . . being formal there . . . Her favorite sport is hiking . . . she did a lot of that at Lingnan. PRICE FIVE CENTS State’s starting lineup will bo the same that went against Pitt with two notable exceptions in the backfield. Harry Harrison, broken field sensa tion, will be at left halfback and Joe Metro is slated to start at fullback. The combination of O’Hora, Harrison, Donato, and Metro will average only 154 pounds, but in past games has proven to be. the,, most effective. When Rabbit Wear, who has been bothered with a bad cold this year, gets in the game, the backs will aver age but 143. The line will have Cherundolo at I center, Econonios und Toretti at guard, DeMarino and Hanley at [ tackle, and Smith and Barantovich at end. Penn has an experienced backfield in Franny Murray, Lew Eivcrson, “Mystery” Warwick, and Bill Kur- Jish. Kurlish, it will be remembered,, ripped the Lion forward wall to shreds last year in the 33-to-G slaughter. Harrison, Denise on Home Ground Harry Harrison and Bill Denise will have special axes to grind as they will be performing before the hometownors. Lion practice this week was light with no scrimmage. The players came out of the Pitt fracas with no serious injuries but considerably bat tered and bruised. Sammy Donato, blocking halfback, missed Monday’s practice but is ready to go against the Red and Blue. Pass defense played a prominent part in the Lions’ preparation as Penn has scored quite consistently that way this year. Their specialty is long passes, something that has caught State flat-footed several times this year. According to reports emanating from the Friendly City, Penn will be unbeatable because Walter Shinn, sophomore tackle will be wearing “a little red helmet.” It seems that Penn’s excuse for losing to Yale is that *Shinn, who has worn a red hel met throughout his football career while his teammates wore blue ones, failed to wear the “little red helmet” against Yale. But lie wore it against (Continued on page four) Class of ’39 Approves Custom Enforcement That freshman customs will be rig orously enforced was decided at a sophomore class meeting held in the Chemistry amphitheatre on Tuesday night, and attended by twenty-five. Fes W. Tibb'oLt ’3!), class president, presided. The difficulty in the enforcement of customs, it was said, is that the sophomore class hs*s been given the sole responsibility of enforcing them with little cooperation from the jun iors and seniors. Tibbott, member of the Student Tribunal, stated that dat ing customs will be strictly enforced until Thanksgiving, and that viola tors will bo dealt with severely. The remainder of the customs, he said, will be extended until sometime in the second semester, the length of time to depend upon the attitude of the freshmen toward the customs.
