Volume 33—No. 38 117 ACCEPT FRATERNITY BIDS AS WOMEN'S RUSHING ENDS Senate Hears Bill Affecting College Sales School of Agriculture Would Be Hardest Hit by Law Annual Business Now Amounts• to $400,000 Approximately $400,000 in revenue from sales of products and services in the College would be affected by Senate Bill 160 introduced this month in the State Senate at Harrisburg' by Senator Edward J. Thompson of P.hilipsburg, it was revealed today in a survey. Profits included in the $400,- 000" figure are new returned to farm ers in Centre county or used for de- Partmental, expenses, it was said. The Thompson bill, which was read for the third time last night, would "prohibit state and state-aided insti tutions, colleges and schools, its offi cers, directors, trustees and employes from selling goods, wares, and mer chandise in the open market in corn pcition with business." Only "articles cr supplies of necessity or conven ience dispensed or furnished to pa tients or inmates of such institutions or those attending such :colleges or schools and goods, etc., produced in penal and correctional institutions may be sold, according to the bill. Provides $lOO Fine A fine of $lOO for any officer vi olating the law and refusal of pay ment of further state appropriations to the institution involved are provid ed as penalties in the,bill. Hardeat , hit in the-College would be the School. of Agriculpuec where,at least fivedepartmerits — nOW 'diapoSe of crops, livestock and other productS used for necessary instructional pur poses through sales to the general public. Also affected would be the 'Old Main SandWielf Shop, the Nittany Li on Inn and, in a minor way, two de partments in the School of Engineer ing, it was stated. Creamery Would Suffer In addition to the College proper, between 250 and 300 farmers living in a radius of from six to eight miles of State College would be deprived of a market for their milk, now sold to the College 'creamery. The total busi ness done through the State College creamery, operated by the dairy hus bandry department of the College, now totals approximately $140,000 per year. It was emphasized 'by College au thorities that most of the produCts sold are thohe grown or manufactured as part of instructional work and that unless the produce was sold, much of it would go to waste since it could not be.used entirely by those connected with the College. Many of the crops, it was pointed out, ripen at a time when the College could not dispose of them other than through sales. Loss of revenue through' prohibition of sales of produce would mean either a curtailment of College operations or a larger state appropriation neces sary, College authorities declared. Except in the case of the creamery, where profits are returned to the farmers in the form of higher prices for milk,' profits realized from the sales are used for departmental ex penses and research work. Bill : Hurts Farmers Purchase of milk by the creamery from fanners in the State College area makes possible instructional work in every line of dairy manufac ure, according to Prof. Andrew A. Borland, head of the dairy husbandry department. Because of this extensive instruction, graduates of the College in dairy manufacturing find a ready demand "for tlieir services, he said. The creamery pays the • farmers from 10 to .20 cents more inn. hun dredweight for milk and two cents more per pound of butterfat than the State Milk Board, order price, Pro fessor Borland declared. • - Under the• terms of the bill, it is believed that sales at the Sandwich Shop would be limited to students and faculty members only, while the Nit tany Lion Inn would be forced to re strict its services to the same group also. While the Sandwich Shop is op erated principally for the students, it was pointed out, many State Col lege and other Centre county organi zations frequently hold banquets there. Tfie Inn is used extensively for Conventions by statewide organiza tion.. • `Collegian' Candidates Will Meet Tomorrow "Because of the NVOMCII'S mass meeting tonight, the electing of COLLEGIAk editorial candidates will be held in the fil'st floor lounge, Old Main, tomorrow night from 7:30 to 8:30 o'clock. - All candidates are 'requested to attend the series of four instruc tional meetings which will lead into, the work for the year.

Pugh._ Naegele Has Secret Desire To Join Jam Session "College students make the best au diences for musical programs," said Georges Enesco, violinist, and Charles Naegelc, pianiSt, after their perfor mance in the third of the Artists Course series. "Students come to hear us because they like music and not because they feel that it is a social obligation." • "The trouble with New York audi ences is that they are stilted and jad ed. College students display their natural reactions." Both Enesco and Naegele felt that Penn State students compokd one of the best college au diences to which they have played. Naegele confessed that be was fond of "swing" music. He confided, "I'm 'lousy' at it but I'd like to take a fling at it." Naegele defined swing as, "—improvision Ct the music without) the notes, in which the artists let , their feelings interpret the melody." Enesco differed from Naegele, say ing that he liked swing music for about fifteen minutes, after which time it became too hot for him. Dur ing the interview,. Enesco showed how his own playing'dffected hint. Ife'ised one handkerchief after another in wiping. the ' .:TiersOiration. ifrom t his forehead. Dance Profits To Go • .

Honess To Make Senate Address Mineralogist Receives Research Comm. Honor for 20-Year Study of Crystals Prof. Arthur P. lioness, of the School of Mineral Industries, was ap polated this' year's. lecturer for the Senate Committee on Research by that bqdy recently. Professor lioness, w;:e. teaches mineralogy and petrology, has not selected his: subject as yet, but it will have to do 'with some phase of crystal etching. The lecture will probably be given in May. Each ,year the Senate Research Committee selects a member of the faculty whom it deems worthy of recognition to deliver a talk about his work. Last year the speaker was Dean, Prank C. Whitmore, of the School of Chemistry and Physics, 51ember of Stall Since 1917 ProlesFor lioness has been a fac ulty member here since 1917 and has devoted twenty years to the study, of the structural symmetry of crystals. Ile has found that by using reagents to develop etch figures he proves heretofore unproven theories of phy sicists as to cryital structure sym metry. He has employed photography to prove his contention that when acids cat into crystals, they leave a symmetry molecular structure. He is the author of a treatise on the subject published by-John Wiley and Sons. lioness is a fellow in the Mineralogy Society of America, a member, of the American Association for the Advancenient of Science, and the Geological Society of America.• Registrar Announces \ Scholarship .Counties The.

Osterlundt Discusses Proposed Change: 4n Student Government At a meeting of .themerican Stu dent Union Sunday afternoon, Frank Osterluncl, senior class president, ad dressed the membership and visitors on the proposed revision of Men's Student Government. o.iterlund, whosee - pr4osal original ly tock form as a:'resolution in the recent National Student Federation Convention, has begun a serious study of the present :Men's Student Government organizatiini. He pointed out that recurrent criticism has been made of graft, dirty politics, padded comp lists, and inactivity on the part of student officers. These charges,'he thinks, hare been due to the fundamental fact that stu dent government has:,had so little participation of the' rank and file of students.

Ist College Classes Held 78 Years Ago Today Seventy-eight years 'ago! A cara van of bob-sleds made its way through the' treacherous. snowdrifts of the "wilds of central Pennsylva nia" to carry sixty-nine men, the first students of the college, to their classes. Approaching, the vicinity of the college, they were surprised to see a limestone skyscraper in a field Or :UMW. Through the activities of the State Agricultural Society in influencing the legislature and obtaining a grant of 200 acres from General James Ir vin, the Pennsylvania State College had its birth. Those first students were "collegi ate pioneers," they struggled through the rigors of long hours and new types of subject matter. The entire college was housed in Old Main. Each rocm was heated by its own stove, with the students caring for the fires and furnishing the wood. The din ing commons'were located in the con struction shack at the rear of Old Main. Seventy-eight years have seen the college progress from its one building to one of the largest compose§ in the east; from sixty-nine students to a resident enrollment 0f'5,152; from a faculty that could he.counted on the fingers of one hand to .the present total of 692; and from 200 acres to 2,000. No Shooting Allowed Burgess Wilbur F. Leitzell, of State College, today warned students that there is a borough ordinance against firing a gun within the borough limits of State College. lie said that many students had been found to •be using guns within these limits during the past few weeks for target practice. He warned that any such students would he preeeented if apprehended. government could react to their prob lems, a more efficient activity would conic forth." His proposals, which he believes should be discussed and considered by the average student, take, at present, the foils of a suggestion that class elections should be fought on the ba sis of campaign issues. "That means," he said, "that a clique should present concrete pledges to the electorate on the ballot covering such issues as dance committee., cooperative book exchanges, compulsory R.0.T.C., and a central employment bureau." Osterlund believes that an election on such issues would insure activity of a more constructive nature on the part of the winning cliques. "It would give us genuine democracy of the kind we have in our national gov ernment. Instead of merely . electing an officer on the basis of ability to make friends and his personality we would have them additionally pledged to a specific program in the interests of the student body and not their own specific friends in the clique. This does not mean the end cf clique poli tics," Osterlund pointed out, "it mere ly guarantees that the party in power will actually do something for the students' who elected them." Ile proposes a mass Meeting in a short time at which every student and representatives of particularly inter ested organizations will hear the plans his recently organized commit tee is drawing up, discuss those plans,, amend them and evolve a more democratic constitution for student government. In the meantime letters enclosing copies of the present consti tutions" have been . sent to all inter ested organizations for complete dis cussion and - revision so 014 repre sentatives cf the organizations can come to the mass meeting prepared to . contribute to the discussion.

Rowland To Talk About Transients 6th Social Science Lecture To Take l'lace Thursday at 4; Gillespie Gives sth Prof. .1.

He will be introduced by Prof:Burke . ..M. Hermann, of the department of his tory and political science. Gillespie Speaks Dr. James E. Gillespie, of the de partment of history and political sci ence, delivered the fifth in the series last Thursday. The topic of his ad dress was "Thh World War• Menace and the Search for Security." Professor Gillespie said that at the cad of the World War elaborate ma chinery for maintaining peace was erected. What •is now needed is the will to use the machinery and the knowledge to make it work, he ex plained. He pointed out four meth ods of gaining security. The League method was explained first as being useful in coordinating international . Operations and providing a means and place where statesmen can meet to attempt to conic to an understanding in conflicts. The League method has failed because it never became uni versal; it failed to bring harmony; it failed to make a peace settlement; and it has net prevented nears. The second method, the Alliance method, includes in its plan the Kel logg, Peace Pact, Mussolini's Four- Power Pact. and the Franco-Soviet Pact. The third method, disarma ment, has failed because the nations have been divided into three distinct groups—those which backed Germany in her demand for rearmament, those which backed France in her demand for security. and those which occu pied the middle ground, demanding some degree of security with other wise di , arnmment. The fourth meth od, armament, is the poorest, because the nations spend money in prepar ing for war instead of attempting to maintain peace.
