Housing Board Proposes
Assistant Dean Of Men
Room Inspection Would
Be New Officer's Duty-
The appointment of an assist
ant dean of men under Dean A. R.
Warnock to better coordinate hous
ing, fraternity, and non-'fraternity
problems was proposed to the ad=
ministration by the Student Hous
ing Board in a surprise move last
night.
Because the Housing Board con
sidered that the physical and so
cial development of the College
has increased faculty and student
relationships, it was suggested that
the proposed assistant dean 'of men
could relieve Dean Warnock of
some of his administrative duties.
The duties of the assistant dean,
as outlined by the committee,
would be to supervise the inspec
tion of houses, cement fraternity
and non-fraternity relations, _and
concentrate on alleviating some of
the non - fraternity organization
problems.
In cooperation with Dr. -Joseph
P. fßitenour, director of the Col
lege Health Service, the assistant
dean would draw up an approved
list of temporary or leased rooms
and act as a one-man housing
placement bureau.
The Board believed that this
plan would solve some of the prob
lems of the , fraternity rushing per
iod by the assistant dean holding
a complete list of temporary rooms
for prospective pledges.
Members.- of _the Student Hous
ing Board for this year, are John
M. Byerly '4l, chairman, H. Ed
ward Wagner '4l, Miriam M:
Miller '4l, J. Louise Hyder '4l,
Theodore Rice '4l, Jacob M. Le

Alderfer Sees GOP
Lead In Counties
Republicans will carry 45 Penn
sylvania counties in the coming
presidential election and the Dem
perq.ts 22, Prof. Harold F. Alderfer,
executive secretary of the Institute
of Ldcal Government, predicted
yesterday.
Although Professor A lderf e r
missed only one county in 1932,
he refuses to predict the final out
come of the state as a whole.
`His - Prediction bised :Upon a
study of County voting since 1920;
Democratic strength is being mus
tered largely from urban, indus
trial, and coal mining counties,
while Republican strength is com
ing from the rural areas of the
state, •Professor Alderfer says.
He predicts that the Democrats
will take the following counties:
Allegheny, Beaver, Berks, Cam
bria, Carbon, Clearfield, Erie, Fay
ette, Green, Lackawanna, Law
rence, Lehigh, Luz - erne, Mifflin,
Montour, +Northampton, Northum
berland, Philadelphia, Schuylkill,
Washington, Westmoreland, and
York.
The Republicans, Professor Al
derfer believes, will carry the
other 45 counties.

Economics Underlies War, Pundt Says
Dr. Alfred G. Pundt, speaking
before the International Relations
Club last night on "Territorial
Changes in Europe Since 1933,"
gave as the basis for the boundary
expansions of Germany and Italy
their need for economic expansion
in the way of freer markets.
"The territorial and political
changes resulting from the treaties
at the end of the World War gave
little assurance that :peace would
be permanent,". Dr. ilundt pointed
Out. Instead of_reducing the causes
of . that war, the treaties increased .

some detail upon the Austrian and
Czechoslovakian annexations. In
Austfia, Dr. Pundt explained, the
National Socialists took advantage
of the breach between the Catholic
parties and the Socialist party,
while in Czechoslovakia, the diff
erence between the existing Czech
national government and the
hoped-for federation of Czechs,
Slovaks, and other nationalities
provided the breach by which the
Nazis entered.
Only mentioning the wartime

Drive Progresses

that country is today the greatest
enigma of world politics. "How
ever," Dr. Pundt said, "Russia is
now largely governed by fear of
Germany. Such was not quite the
case earlier in the war when Rus
sia expected to take advantage of
the weakening of both sides."
hT his opinion, the interdepend
ence of Germany's manufacturing
industries and South America's ag
ricultural and raw material eco
nomy would be effective l in Count
erbalancing , any Pan - American
Union. •
Dr. Pundt assumed that "a single
economic bloc; under 'Germany's
-leadership,. might.be possible," but
that political considerations would
prove :a handicap.
Petrella, Peters, Srnaltz
Carry. Hopes For Win
The first undefeated Penn State
football team to invade Philadel
phia since 1920, bolstered by the
return of all its injured players,
leaves here this morning for the
crucial game with the rebounding
Temple University aggregation at
Temple Stadium at 2 p. m. tomor
row.
.;.•%.•;m1•1.1
Head Coach Bob Higgins select
ed 31 gridders to make the trip for
the battle which may 'spur the
team on to greater heights or mar
the season's perfect record. Vic
torious in three starts the Nitttany
Lions face their toughest opponent
to date in the Owls who are fresh
from a startling upset over pow
erful Michigan State.
With one of the best defensive
teams in the country ready to stop
Temple's offensive thrusts, the
Blue and White will depend heav
ily on a pair of fleet halfbacks and
the passing arm of Bill Smaltz to
chalk up the winning margin.
Pepper Petrella and Chuck Peters
have been the scourge of opposing
teams for the past two years a
a hot performance by either one
may decide the ball -game.
The line which started the Le
high game last week will remain
intact for tomorrow's test. Tom
Vargo and Lloyd Parsons will be
the ends; Frank Platt and Carl
Stravinski, the tackles; Mori. and
Garbinski, the guards; and
Captain Leon Gajecki will anchor
the forward wall from the center
spot.
Only two players are certain of
starting in 'the backfield. Johnny
Patrick will continue to call the
signals and block from the quar
terback post and Peters draws the
left halfback assignment. Either
Craig White or Len Krouse will
get the nod for the right halfback
job and the fullback spot remains
a toss-up between Bill Smaltz,
Ralph Ventresco and Earle Brown.
