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.

as you think everything is swell and spring is
here and all that kind of stuff, something turns
up to spoil it Now take this column, it was go

this
"Come walk with me, I'll tell you Les,
I'll praise the beauty of you eye'.,
They'll be of sky, or cornflower blue,
Or other, entrancing, hackneyed hue.
Your bps I'll praise as berries red,
I'll praise each tilting of your head
I'll praise the gold hid in your han ,
And sun which shows it cloistered there
Your grace will be like wind-blown sands
Praises I'll sing to soft-silk bands
I'll praise half-ripened cherry cheeks,
Each smile, each glance attention seeks
, praise you, lady, but take care.
Know that in love, all things are fag.

are incorporated in the new code
Free Association Slated
Under the code for next year,
there will be free association dur
ing the, first four weeks of school,
