Inability to find a speaker who
will uphold the thesis that the
United States should not lag be
hind other nations in the size of
its armanent program may re
duce the number of participants
in tomorrow night’s panel dis
cussion on “How Much De
fense ?” to two. In an attempt to
secure the best speaker possible,
the committee sponsoring the affair
appealed to the American Legion.
Although the Legion has been the
motivating factor in fighting at
tempts to remove compulsory R. 0. T.
C. from colleges, has actively lobbied
for continually increasing armament
appropriations, and has gone on rec
ord many times as favoring the above
position, their spokesman told the
committee that they would not speak
for this position but would prefer to
uphold the middle ground, favoring
minimum armaments.
, At press time the committee, was
still attempting to get a speaker by
contacting the Veterans of Foreign
Wars and asking individuals to talk.
Col. Russell V. Venable, head of the
R. 0. T. C. department, while express
ing approval of the discussion, re
. fused to- take part, and stated that
none', of his department-cared to as-
--event
that.no speaker can be secured by to
morrow night, the discussion will be
held with the two speakers previously
announced making up, the panel.

in Schwab auditorium tomorrow night
beginning at 7:00 and continuing un
til 9 o’clock. There will be no admis
sion charge and the meeting is open

speaker can be obtained to uphold the
militarist point of view the discus
sion- will be conducted with Dean of
Men Arthur R. Warnock and Arthur

omics an’d sociology, making up the
panel. Dean Warnock will present the
minimum or adequate armament pro
gram standpoint while Reede will pre
sent the pacifist view-pcint. Ralph D.
Ilctzcl, lir., will act as chairman of
the meeting.
Each speaker will be given five'
minutes to present his progilm at the
beginning of the meeting, following
which there will be a forty-five min
ute discussion period among the
speakers. The remaining time will be

Counter, Smith Stars
Hr CHARLES M. WHEELER, JR.
“High School” Harry returned home
Saturday and took with him ten fight
ing, clawing Lions that pushed Penn’s
Red and Blue up and down the field
for quite some time until superior
weight and power finally told the
story.
But this man, Harrison, virtually
in the shadows of the West Philadel
phia high school field where he com
menced his cavorting?, had 40,000
loyal Quaker fans on the edge of their
seats in anxiety as the Penn graduate
manager beelined for the Pennsylva
nia railroad station to exchange
those shiny ducats to the Rose Bowl
in sunny California for seven cent
tokens on the Market street “L.”
Supplying the big thrill of the af
ternoon by returning Jim Hauzc’s
kick-off in the second quarter through
the entire Penn team for 94 yards
and a touchdown to narrow down a
13-to-6 score by a half dozen more
points, Harry was the focal point of
an inspired Lion attack that came
very near providing one of the big
gest upsets of this year’s football sea
son.
Metro Scores First
With a backficld averaging only 154
pounds starting the struggle, State
pushed the Red and Blue all around
one end of the stadium for a whole
quarter and finally shoved over an
inevitable score before ' the gasping
home throng when Joe Metro'plunged
over-from the 3-yard line on his first
attempt after Harrison had placed
the ball in scoring position with a

placement was wide.
State had first blood in that 19-to
-12 encounter that was nip and tuck
all the way. Penn emerged from her
own territory with dramatic swift
ness three plays after the second
quarter began and shook Lew Elver
son loose for 51 sards and the tying
score. Franny kicked the
extra point and State was behind,
where everyone thought thut she be
longed.
A Nice Lateral Pass
Penn pulled a pretty play soon af
ter when Elverscn passed to Schuene
man who lateraled to Murray for a
37-yard gain and a score. Franny
Murray then was treated to the un
usual sight of having one of his
placements blocked by Smith. It was
13-to-6, Penn.
. Hauze kicked off and has since re
gretted it. Harrison gathered the ball
on his own 6 and stepped boldly down
the middle of the field. State blockers
took cave of that great Penn line.
Harrison took care of the rest. He
cased'to his left, missed a few tack
lers, and suddenly broke into the
clear. Schueneman and Shinn waved
good-bye, and Harry sped like a deer
for the remainder of the distance. It
was a run that State rooters will long
remember. Silvano’s placement was
blocked, and Penn held a one-point
lead at the half, 13-to-12.

Bissey, Juggler of Schedules,
Favors Uninitiated Freshmen
Perhaps students think making out
a schedule is a complicated ordeal.
Well, what about the man who designs
the time tables? As Scheduling Offi
cer, Cyril V. D. Bisscy describes it
“a pretty dry job but the redeeming
feature is that I come in contact with
practically every professor oh the
campus.” •
His is a year-round routine of jug
gling classrooms, students, profes
sors and courses, with professional
guess-work as the motivating factor.
From the opening of regular session
until second semester he makes out
the first semester exam schedule and
rearranges conflicts in the first sem
ester lay-out The latter part of the
school term is occupied by the second
semester exam schedule, and summer
school time. During the summer
months he masters the most diiffcult
task, the first semester time table.
It’s the engineers who get in Mr.
Bissey’s hair because of the'greater
number of hours and required courses.
The liberal arts schedules are reserv
ed until last because of the compara
tively few requirements. The fresh

The general trend in curriculum
enrollments is rising in the engineer
ing school faster than in any other,
thus necessitating accurate estima
tions of incoming students, the major
problem in making up room appoint
ments for the first semester lime
Professional guess-work solves the
essential matter of calculating the
number of students apt to take cer
tain courses. Definite preferences are
particularly evident as to instructors
in the Liberal Arts School. Eight o’-
clock classes have caused inevitable
difficulties in Mr. Bissey’s work. As
a result, required courses such as
Commerce 90 are scheduled Saturday
morning at 8 o’clock. ,
In making up the exam schedule,
room appointment is the toughest
problem, since accomodations for
twice the size of each course is neces
sary because of alternate seating ar
rangements. Although the Bull Pen,
has the greatest seating capacity, only
275 students can take examinations
