Dean Stoldlo explained that Uio three murals, would depict the Min eral Industries, and that lie felt mur als iu other buildings should do the same for the 'industries and profes sions -which they represent. He .favor ed the-proposal that the Old Mnlu murals should depict the history and purpose of the Cullcgo as a hind-grant I institution. •''This year’s senior class should start It off, and Uio seuior classes Tor the’next few years should, give mural panels os .llieir class gifts,” Stcldlb advocated. "A mural is an appropriate, Jusliug gift, whereas yquipmoul, no matter how useful, should.bo purchased through the ad miulstraliou’s public funds. "Tho inuruiisl chosen for the Old Main work should bo uti established artist, but.more Important, to, the fact that lie . must want to [mint a mural hero atPeuti State, if lio-is to do Ills host work*” iho Dean concluded.

Campbell ’3B, co-chairmen, announced. No theme for the dance has been selected as yet, they said. A survey was conducted yesterday and Sunduy among the fraternities lo determine uri approximate number of men who will attend the dance. This step was* taken when the Inter fraternity Council at its last meeting favored a plan to keep the ball strict ly for fraternity men. Old System Is Out . "It is definite that we will not go buck to the old system of issuing tick ets,” the co-chairmen said. Under the'proposod plan, the houses will be assessed in proportion to the number of members from their house attend ing the bull. "In oilier words,” they explained, "wo will divide .the expense of the dance by the total number of men attending. This will give the cost per‘capita. Tile house'will then pay for the number going from their house multiplied by the capita" cost.” However, they said,'to adopt this pol icy, the average attending per house must be great enough to defray the expenses without charging a ridicu lously high per capita rate.. Last year the houses were’charged $5O, regardless of the number from their house who attended the ball.’ Movies To Show ‘Mayerling’ Film First Choice Of Foreign Movie Fans Won Praise Of New .*•„. _ JX?rk,-^cvi^ I "MayerJing,” prize-winning French Jilin featuring Charles Boyer and Dan } idle been booked for the Cathaum theatre Thursday, and the Nittariy Friday.-The picture, which subtitles, was the first choice of a majority of those who have signed the Friends of Foreign Films ledgers; New York film critics selected "Mayerling” as the best foreign film of last year because of Us excellent acting, the direction of Anatole Litvak, and for its fine photography and musi cal score. The film is based on Claude Anct’s novel, "Idyll’s End.” An efTort is being madex. ty supple ment the program with one of the two widely praised American documen tary short subjects prepared for the government by Pare Lorenz. One is "The River,” dealing with the Mississ ippi and floods, and the other is "The Plough That Broke the Plains,” deal ing with the "dust-bowl” problem. Box-oirice reception of this program will determine the future policy of the local theatres iu booking foreign films, since in the past, according to the management, the response to-these showings has been too slight to wnr runfc scheduling, them -even us a ges ture. of "good-will.” IC Government Confab Plans To Be Arranged All political science -majors ami prc-lcgal students interested in at tending the Intercollegiate conference on .government, .which takes place in Harrisburg, April 22-24, -arc invited Lo attend'an organization meeting in Room 22 S.

CAHAN Stanley J. Brown ’39* was selected as the Campus clique nominee for Senior class president, at a clique meeting last Thursday night. 1939 Campus stole the, week’s political show und was also the first Junior class party to name their' candidates for the other Senior class offices. ‘"’""’John C. Rex, .William W. Stopper, and James C. Nungc were named as the other three major nominees for vice president, secretary, and treas urer, respectively. It should be un derstood that these, previous, and fu ture announcements of nominees are not to be regarded as official. Themominees may still be changed, inasmuch as petitions must not be bunded in to Russ Gohn,. chairman of the elections committee, until, at the latest, boon of Wednesday, March .23. The petitions for these major offices must contain signatures of fifty vo ters in the class. It may be suggest ed, at this time, that all cliques should make sure that they obtain, and read carefully, the 1938 Election Code. Getting back lo the present Junior class Campus nominations, we were a little bit surprised at the vote for Stan Brown. Stan, who seemed to be* the outstanding Campus choice, just about edged out Johnny Patrick as the clique’s nominee. We’re -wonder jng just where Johnny and his fol lowing \yill end up. Will he be the ‘ProgTcsxivt.' , ff ; T:h'6ice’'as 'thc'ij'p'porent' 10, the Independent’s Job Peel and Brown? ; . Fn the present Sophomore class, F. Richard Ellcnbcrgcr was nominated by the Independent parly for-the Junior class presidency. This nomi nation completes the naming of men for this office, inasmuch as there will be only two candidates for each office in this class and the Class of Ml. Wally Jones, Campus, is. the other 1940 presidential nominee. Defunct Locust Lane, apparently, is still being dickered with in the Class 0f.’40, although it seems as though their leadership has been split two or three ways.'
