OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE YyN PANVO MOO IZOhMW voff•Not DM No Flu Epidemic Among Students, Dr. Rilenour Says Although a mild epidemic of influenza has spread across many eastern states, there is no evid ence that the disease has reached the campus, Dr. Joseph P. Riten our, director of the College Health ServiCe, said yesterday. Quelling rumors that the "flu" was spreading among the students on the eve of semester finals, Dr. Ritenour pointed out that most of the new cases in the infirmary are due to upper respiratory condi tions. The rise in the number of patients is not unusual, Dr. Riten our continued, since there is in evitably an increase in Infirmary cases following Christmas vaca tion. This does not insure, however, that the flu will not spread to the campus just as it has spread to the east from the west coast, Dr. Ritenour said. If students con tinue to keep late study hours prior to finals, there is reason to believe. that the lowered vitality of the students may aid tale spread of the disease to the campus, he warned. No deaths as a direct result of the flu • have been reported throughout the country and any tendency for it to develop into pneumonia has been reported in only one state, Texas. As of Sat urday, 77,144 cases were reported for the country as a whole. Al though this mark represents a peak for the present epidemic, it is still 13,000 below the peak of 1932. Cases are increasing along the eastern seaboard, although the disease has not reached propor tidns which require reports from State authorities in Pennsylvania, New York, and Delaware. How ever, New York City, which re ports separately, showed an in crease from 32 to 77 cases last week.

Scotch Didn't Invent 'Fast' Time, Quiz Program Experts Discover It took 28 questions and a whole hour to do it, but 11 lucky stu dents finally stumped the board of experts, Prof. Hummel Fishburn, Prof. John R. Fredland, Prof. War ren B. Mack, and Prof. Charles S. Wyand, and collected $27.50 from Alpha Lambda Delta's second "Information, Please" program in Room 10 'Liberal Arts at 3 p. m. Sunday. The first $2.50 went to M. Paul ine-Rugh '43, when the four ex perts failed to icrentify the dog, of "Dorothy and the Wizzard of Oz" in spite of a broad hint from Prof. Robert E. Galbraith, medi ator a la Fadiman. Professor Wyand knew what the Magna Carta was, but since he didn't know that no one signed it, $2.50 was collected by Flifrence E. Held '4l. One of the experts also suggested that the Scotch in vented daylight saving time, but according to Mary Jean Popp '42, it was really the Pennsylvania Dutch. Another $2,50 went to Emily J. Sperber '42 whose bluebook in formed the board that a British flag is flying over only one city Committee OF 100 Urges Additions. To Alumni Plan Can't Get Rid Of $5,000 W.

Court Trial Forum On Campus Today The Penn State debating team will meet Bucknell tonight in a court trial forum . to discuss the question, "Should the Armament Program be Modified?" The debate will be held in Room 10 Liberal Arts at 8 p.m. The trial will be an imaginary action for mandatory injunction by the people of the U. S. against Congress, compelling it to pass laws to modify the armament pro grain in our country. Actual court technique will be followed throughout the trial with a judge, bailiff, tipstaff, and a jury (selected from the audience) all taking part. The witnesses will be Norman Thomas, Senator Wheeler, Adolf Hitler, President Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill. These wit nesses will be characterized by debaters. of the United States, Williamsburg, Virginia. Professor Fishburn was well on the way toward identifying the composers of several "Don" operas, but he slipped up . on "Don Pas quali" (by Donizetti, you know) and lost $2.50 to Stanley Ulick '43. He was able, however, to line his fire signals on the blackboard in short order and tell that the song of a woodpecker's nightmare is "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls." The experts fumbled on a ques tion concerning PreSident Hetzel's honorary degrees, and $2.50 went to Lloyd F. Kershner '44. They also did some wholesale guessing on, the founding of the graduate school of the College in 1922, fin ally missing it by one year and handing $2.50 over to Jane H. Firestein '42. A current events question concerning the Italian campaigns of last week was asked by Gertrude H. Hecht '4l and missed by the board. $2.50 was given to Walter J. Kidd '42 because the board of ex perts couldn't name four seas which form a part of the Medi terrean. Weather— Cloudy and Colder. PRICE THREE CENTS Membership Scheme Approved In General Special to The Collegian PITTSBURGH, Jan. 13 The Pennsylvania State College Alumni Committee of 100 filed a letter here today for the Penn State Alumni Association in which it pledged support for the general outlines of the Association's new membership plan but urged that five more points be incorporated in it. The Committee, composed of recent Penn State graduates, called .the membership plan "strikingly similar" to one it had suggested and urged its adoption by the Alumni Executive Council when it meets February 1. The plan referred to has already been approved by the All-College Cabinet. It calls for a solicitation of five-year Alumni Association memberships at a price of eight dollars among sophomores and juniors but not effective until their graduation. Concurring in this plan, the Committee through its temporary officers, made these five additional suggesstions: 1. It should be made clear be yond doubt that no one will be forced to pay anything. 2. No student should be solicited until after his freshman year when he will have had time to make up his mind about the Alumni Asso ciation. 3. Money pledged by the stu dents should not be turned over to the Association until they be conie full-fledged voting members and thus have a right to say what should be done with their money. 4. As a step toward making the Alumni Association self-support ing, for every dollar received from the students under this plan, the College should decrease the appro priation to the Association by one half that amount. 5. Money saved by the decrease in the alumni grant should be placed immediately in the schol arship fund set up by the Class of 1938 to aid deserving students. The report was signed by John A. Trovovitch '39, temporary chairman; Francis H- Shimshock '3B, temporary secretary; and Har vey H. Heilman, Jr. '39, temporary treasurer.
