Many of-them are not even aware that, a 50 cent .debate fee is being paid an nually. Still-others either do not know or do not cape whether the debase team takes 10 trips or 100; whether Noijman Thomas or Tony Galenlo appears here; whether five cents or twenty-five cents is spent for a cigar Even with the $460 surplus expenditure figures'reveal that more might have been saved had the dignified debaters lowered themselves to the “traveling tramp” class of thp Penn State Glee Club. faking comparative figures on separate major Eastern tours by the respective or ganizations, the Collegian found: The three-man debate team traveled by Pullman, while the 80 musicians went by local bus, " ■■ The'debaters stopped at one of the more exclusive New York hotels.for the sum, of $23.20 for two nights, while the Glee Club doubled up as best they could with al umni or friends of the College. , The orators suffered no ill effects from hunger, obtaining three square meals a dav for $6.5(1 on one occasion and $6.20 jin an other, and evOn humbled thepiselves to oc casional “midnight snacks.” The Glee Club was “charity fed.” Laundry, valet service, tips, and the like seemed but incidental expenses to the de baters, but the Glee Club paid for its own laundry, carried its own luggage, and tipped from its own feeble treasury NEXT WEEK, the All-College Cabinet will again have an opportunity to consjder Hus debate fee. Under the new constitu tion, the Cabinet, in conjunction with the Interclass Finance Board,' will, have the power to split this fee if it so desires. Its action will, of course, be subject to the ap proval of the College. Adminstratiop. If consideration is to be granted to the Glee Club it must be granted NOW. ’Any further postponement of a controversy, which has already been too Ipng-ivinded over’a span of years syould provoke more "heated dispute, greater ill feeling, and less chance fop any decision. : Student leaders in the Cabinet -vyitji the courage to fight for ther convictions mbst settle the issue once and for all.

Flexible Policy Seen As Key To Neutrality By ADAM A SMYSER , American neutinlity in the Second World War depends largely on the nation’s ability to adopt a flexible foieign policy, Arthur H. Reede, assistant professor of economics, said yesterday {Whether or not American (lemo crncy could survive,war, he said, would likely he determined by the length ,of the conflict, the extent and permanency of political and economic adjustments made dur* ing the war, and the extent of mal* adjustments—such os depression —which are bound to follow Legislation Unsatisfactory Reede pointed out that the pres ent neutrality legislation is unsat isfactory and urged that any in flexible legislation is likely to take us Into war While our 1917 leg islatinn as applied to Europe may he satisfactory to many, it would work against China if the Presi dent were ever tp recognize that, was war in the Far East, he showed Axtieulrality hoard which could adjust national policy to suit the shifting needs of the times was mged by the professor “Ideally,” he said, “this would be composed of two cabinet members, one sen ator from each party, and one re-, presentative from each party” However, he .considers this propos al politically impractical Responsibility in One Unwise To vest sole* responsibility for the United States foreign policy in one man, the President, was prov en unwise In 1914-17, Reede point ed out The present Congress feels this, be thinks, and is unlike- Uv to vest such power in President Roosevelt.’ . Besides flexibility of our foreign policy,, factors which are likely to affect our entry into wai, Reede stated, are tije" length of the con flict, and how the Allies fare.in their campaign ’ - “We have never yqt stayed out of a long European war,” he stated, citing ..the undeclared naval war with France in 1797, the War of 1812. and the World Wiar - “Will, Fight for Allies” “It is safe to assume,” lie con tinued, “that we will fight for the Allies rather than seo them beaten by Geimany After all! our Mon* toe Doctrine has been more of an Anglo American' declaration than an American one with the result that we aie not likely to stand bj and see England, defeated ” Should we enter the war, Reede saTd, 'the fate o£\. democracy will .depend l bn how far-reaching and how permanent government con trol becomes The longer the war, the less tbe probability that the dictatorial organization setup dur ing its progress is Hkely’to he re linquished, he said Pan-Hel To Hold Open IJquseThis Week For Coreds .Pan-Hellenic's informal ' rush ing season officially opened this week with an open house Monday afternoon and a Panhellenicbarn dance Wednesday night There will he two more open houses, on Friday, November 17, and Thurs day, December 14. „ While no Invitations may be is sued to these open houses, all freshmen and transfers are urged to visit as many houses" as they .can from 3.30 to 5:30, provided they stay not moreHhan 30 min utes at each house. • The first get-together will be Tuesday from 4 to 5 30 p.m. Dates for other get-togethers set by pan- Hellenic are.
