Pa under the net of March 3. 1879 Friday, April 1 . 2, 1940 COMES THE SENATOR ' "ONE OF the most valuable members of the Senate," comes to this campus Monday light. , Thus ,has United States Sena* Gerald P. Nye been described by numerous promi nent people familiar with the activities of the North Dakota Republican who is "never me to let his Republicanism keep him from being independent." , An advocate of isolation and a strong supporter of measures intended to preserve sti ict neutrality, Senator Nye will speak on as timely a topic as ,could be delivered tp any audience--" Can We Keep,America Out of War?" Regardless of political belief, everyone has some interest in this subject. 'I he local chapter of Phi Beta 'Kappa should he commended for presenting the Senator to a, Penn State audience. His ap pearance is a realization of the oft:ex. 'pressed desire of students and faculty members to dear more natlonaly-prominent persons. , Forensic Council, Artists Course, the Penn State Christian Association, and oth er organizations haye been successful in bringing famous speakers here, but ;this new attempt is different. The Collegian, hopes Senator- Nye's ap : rearanee' )vill be the first of ,a series of such outstanding national personalities. DEAD END? LAST NIGHT Penn State saw what will ne the end of a successful experiment 'un less somebody decides to do something about it - With the presentation of "Little Caesar" as the last of three free movies planned to :how the development of the film as an art, funds for this type of work are exhausted. The fpst,two of the free movies attract ed more than $OO persons, far more than any type of art presentation here has been able to attract at one time. Last night's film as ,the first talkie in the group was expected to he the most popular of the three Money for these films was contributed partly by Pi Gamma Alpha, honorary dine arts fraternity, partly by the division of line arts; and partly out of the pockets of two professors of fine arts singe.r9ly inter ested in giving students a change to, view _ old films. A visual education instructor gave his time free to stage the -91 ms ,and handle the projection. Except fpr -the ,division of fine arts, these groups can hardly be expected. o shell out again next year. Whether the divisjon of fine ,arts can afford to finance the whole program next year the Collegian does ,not 'know. So far, it has not offered to:do . ac: The Collegian does know the totel,ciist ; pf showing i six,films next year w9i'dilibeless than PO. The College has spent a' lot more on projects withiess interest and less value. —A. A. S.
