New Molestations Appear On Anniversary Of Taylor Murder
Club Offers Two
Plans For Stables
'See Editorial, Page 21
Two plans have been proposed
to enable the new Penn State
Hiding Club, sub-division of the
Penn State Outing Club, to be
come a permanent organization.
One proposes that the College
provide land, stable, and ring,
and Ihe other that the College
only designate location for the
stable on College land. In both
plans the land not to be more
than three-fourths of a mile from
the center of campus.
Money for the stable in the lat
ter plan would be obtained from
College sources and organizations
not associated with the College
rather than solelly from the Col
lege as in the first one.
In three weks. the club has de
veloped from a vague objective
into a reality. Thirty-five stu
dents have already paid the Sl5
membership fee and 12 are plan
ning to join by April 1.
Recreation Coordinated. an
All-College committee, is encour
aging the Riding Clu band has
appointed Dr. Henry L. Yeaglev,
associate professor of physics,
sponsor, and Ray M. Conger, in
structor in physical education,
executive secretary.
Three horses have been pur
chased from the Four Horsemen
Stable in Media with the condi
tion that another will be bought
when Hie additional members
join.
An hour before the horses ar
rived in State College, club mem
bers completed five stalls made
of rough lumber at the Campus
Saddle School.
The First plan for stables in
cludes that on the land provided
by the College, they finance a
stable and a ring, the stable to
house 12 horses in box stalls
which can be reduced in size
when additional space is needed
to provide for 24 horses.
Six stalls would be used at
present by the club: the other
six rented to staff members and
students owning horses. With in
creased membership, and the sta
bles would be used for club
norses. The stable would also
include space for a club and tack
room and for a t'eding storage.
Under this plan, the club would
provide horses. tack, stable
equipment, hired man. volunteer
riding instructors, and member-
ship cords.
The dub hi the alternative
plan, would provide the stable,
-2 horses, and other previsions.
.Membership privileges entitle
members to three weekly in
struction periods, Monday and
Juosday at 7 p. m. and Saturday
at 2p. rn. Six experienced town
and College riders have volun
teered to instruct members.

Students Approve
College Emphasis
AUSTIN. Tex.—Last year the
National Education Association
had Dr. George Gallup conduct a
survey that revealed only 17 per
cent of the adults in this country
feel too much importance is
being placed on education these
davs.
What about college training'.’
It is tiie advisability of higher
education that ottc-n causes de
bate "The colleges arc over-
crowded . . . we are grinding out
bachelors of art as if by mach
inery . . . look ai men like Ford
and Knudscn who never went to
college." Student Opinion Sur
veys of America has taken the
question directly to that group
of nearly a million and a half
young Americans now going
through the process of higher ed
ucation.
Do they feel that the idea of
going to college is being em
phasized too much, about right,
or too little?
Every fourth student that the
interviewers contacted answered
"yes, there is too much emphas
is." A slight majority of 51 per
cent declared "just about right,"
and the rest said "too little."
Although three-fourths of the
students believe higher education
is not being pushed too much in
this country—which already has
in its colleges and universities a
greater proportion of its youth
than any other nation —a surpris
ing sei of answers was obtained
from this question:
"Without mentioning names,
do you know any students per
sonally who would be better
off at work than in college?"
YES, said
NO, said .

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Slayer Of C®ssS
Still Unknown
By GEORGE SCHENKEIN
See Editorial, Page 2
A year has passed and new
molestations accentuate the grue
some murder of Rachel Hutch
inson Taylor whose slaying re
mains unsolved despile the ques
tioning of three definite suspects
among many others.
On the eve of the anniversary
of Miss Taylor's death, two wom
en were accosted on town streets.
Last Thursday, an unknown man
molested Mrs. Lena P. Kaite on
E. Beaver Avenue and on Monday
night Grace Gray, a high school
senior, suffered a similar experi
ence. Police are under orders
from Burgess Wilbur F. Leitzell
to "shoot if necessary" and are
checking dues and suspects.
To track down the Taylor mur
derer, two State Motor policemen
have been stationed here since
the crime occurred and their lat
est activity has been a reehccking
of all student, automobiles.
Miss Taylor, an 18-vear-old
freshman from Wildwood. N. J.,
was cruelly slain on a misty
night following her return to
school at the c-nd of Easter vaca
tion, March 28. 1940.
She disembarked at 1:21 a.m.
from a bus at the town depot,
walked towards Atherton Hall,
and was either abducted or ran
down before being murdered.
She was discovered at 6:21 a.m.
by Harold Leightley. janitor of
tile Lemont Consolidated. School,
as lie drove up I'ne winding school
approach. Rachel's clothing was
ripped from her ravished body
and she suffered bruises by a still
unidentified weapon.
A few weeks ago policemen
conducting routine investigations
here left hurriedly for New York
City to determine whet. h e r
George Cvek, confessed murderer
of a Bronx housewife, was im
plicated in the crime. Later, Col.
Lynn G. Adams, commissioner of
State Police, said that Cvek, des
pite his nearness to the murder
scene on March 28, was not in
volved. Cvek is a former inmate
of Huntingdon reformatory, 35
miles from here.
On the day of the Taylor mur
der. a local suspect was arrested
in Philadelphia when blood was
found on his trousers. Police
transported him to Rockview
Barracks where he was thorough
ly questioned and released after
proving a satisfactory alibi.
When Richard Millinder, con
victed slayer of Fay Gates now
serving a life sentence in Western
Penitentiary, was apprehended,
it was believed that he had also
committed the Taylor slaying.
However, he was exonerated by
Colonel Adams.
Finger and tire prints left at
tile scene of the Tnyior crime
were examined but were too
muddy to prove of any value. A
traveling bag. containing the
coed's belongings, was discovered
three miles from Lemonf. at
Shiloh Church.
Rewards totaling $l,OOO out of
$2,500 posted soon after the
coed’s death were withdrawn to
day by donors. They include The
Daily Collegian, and All-College
Cabinet.

Ring Grads Turn
To Varied Fields
"Doctors, lawyers, merchants,
and teachers"—this seems to be
the most popular line-up of jobs
for Penn State's boxing grad
uates. At least this is the situation
according to Coach Leo Houck,
who is often referred to ns “the
honorable doctor’’ himself.
However .there is one former
ringman, 155-pound Hank Sch
wietzer '39, who has not been
satisfied to turn to these "every
day” jobs, but has chosen to put
himself in the precarious posi
tion of actively fighting with Eng
land's Royal Air Force.
The first of seven hikes spon
sored by the Outing Club will
be taken to Shingletown Gan.
Sunday, under the leadership
of Henry A. Beers '42. it was
announced yesterday.
All hikes will start at 2 p. m.

April 6; Fisherman's Paradise.
April 20 (by bus): Little Flat
Tower, April 27 (by bus); Sco
