Hetzel for a ruling oh All-College Cabinet’s authority to divert two chapel ■collections each month to some local charity instead of Penn State in China. ■ The committee will' question .the decision which Cabinet made two weeks ago on the grounds that chapel is not a.student ac tivity and that Cabinet therefore has no power to regulate chapel funds. ‘ According to Ralph L: Watts, dean emeritus of the School of Agriculture and chairman of the Penn State in China committee, the committee will also ask that persons attending chapel be al lowed to vote on .whether col lections should continue to be 'sent to Lingnan University for the support of G. Weidman (Daddy) Groff. When told of the committee’s action, Arnold C. Laich ’4l, All- College President, said “Cabinet will stand by its decision until definite proof is given that chapel is not entirely a student activ ity.” He added that he has received several letters protesting Cab inet's action and that he will read them at tonight’s meeting.

Scally OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE .TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1941, STATE COLLEGE, PA. Davey Proposal Gains Most Votes With Early Sale Of Seats Offered That present subscribers do not want the Artists’ Coui’se series staged in Recreation Hall and do not want the adoption of a ticket selling plan based entirely on chance are the only definite con clusions reached from the recent survey taken during the inter mission of the Cleveland Orch estra program. The popular referendum on ticket-selling plans for next year’s series has failed to pro vide any other clearcut expres sions of public opinion, Dr. Carl E. Marquardt, committee chair man, announced yesterday. Largest number of votes was cast in favor of the Davey plan which permits an advance sale of .seats in the spring before the next program has been deter mined. The F. Raymond Smith plan, the Tobias order-taking proposal, and the modification of the pre sent plan that calls for acceptance of seats as at metropolitan theatres, were apparently even in popularity. Balloting Results Plan Davey -.. F. Raymond Smith Modification of present plan ....... Tobias plan Present plan Recreation Hall Preferential drawing plan Weighting the votes by allocat ing seven points to first position, six points to second, etc., the Davey plan received 17 per cent of the total number of votes ac cumulated by all seven plans. The Smith plan, modification of present plan, and Tobias plan each polled 15 per cent of the total vote. Recreation Hall polled 10 per cent and the preferential draw ing plan received 11 per cent of the total number of points amass ed. * Dr, Marquardt called atten tion to the fact that only 867 patrons of the course expressed their preference. Of this number 861 votes were cast for fii-st choice and the number of ballots dwindled until only 618 votes were cast for seventh place. 'To Fight For Uncle Sam' had little more than two years of boxing experience behind him. “Sure I was- shaky as I enter ed the ring, Scally added. “Fri day night, I was on edge and had to take a sleeping pill to fall asleep, but when I saw Baird lose in the finals Saturday night, it gave me more confidence—l just had to win!” Scally’s was a quick rise to national collegiate boxing fame. He had never fought until his sophomore year in college when he was runnerup for the 175- pound title in fraternity intra murals. In his junior year, Scally won the intramural title and fin ally accepted Coach Leo Houck’s invitation to fight for the varsity. Intercollegiate boxing marked the beginning of tile now famous feud between Scally and Amerieo Woyeiesjes. Syracuse eorcapta 22 Seniors Unanimous On Class Honor Men Twenty-two senior classmen, meeting in Home Economics Auditorium last, night, unani mously selected four honor men to receive recognition at the Class Day exercises during Commencement Week.

Lewis Cor bin, Student Tribunal chairman; and Pipe Orator—Arnold C. Laich, All-College president. Adam A. Smyser, Collegian edi tor, previously appointed Class Donor, presided over the elec tion. After the selection of the hon or men, Smyser was also chosen permanent secretary-treasurer of the class to serve after its gradu ation. Bradley To Play 2 Thespians Hits Bandleader Will Bradley swung into the spirit of Inter fraternity Ball weekend when he promised to play two new hit songs of the -Thespians produc tion, “The Joint’s Jumpin’ ” which will be staged in Schwab Auditorium Friday and Saturday nights. ‘‘A Fellow Fell In Love” by Mike Brotman and Jimmy Ley den and “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet” by Jimmy McAdam were the two ditties which were se lected by Bradley.

In the initial dual meet between the two 175-pounders, Woyciesjes TKOed the Lion box er in the second round. In the intercollegiates last year, Scally rallied but still lost a decision to the Syracuse mitman. This year, it was different story. Scally left-jabbed his way to a decision over the hard-hitt ing Orange mauler in a dual meet. However, Scally moved up to the heavyweight class in the intercollegiates and was out pointed by “Toots” Mirabito, also of Syracuse. “I had my heart set on beating Woyciesjes in the nationals,’ Scally said, "and I was decidedly disappointed when Syracuse did not enter any men in the tuirna i ment." * WEATHER— Cloudy.

Light, state secretary of agriculture, and Milton S. Mc- Dowell, director of the Pennsyl vania State College extension service, failed to take place to day when the House committee investigating soil conservation called more farmers as witnesses. Rep. Clayton S. Moul (Dem., York), committee chairman, said that Light would testify next Monday and McDowell would be called the following week. It is expected that McDowell’s testi mony will end the investigation which is holding up all appropri ations to the College. Farmers from Bucks County and Huntingdon County took the witness stand today. Most of their testimony supported previ ous statements that county farm agents favor soil conservation districts but that higher ups seem to be blocking the movement. P. A. Waring, a Bucks County farmer, said the county agent, the College extension service and the state department of agricul ture “seemed to buck the plan” by pointing out “teeth” in the state law. Waring contended these “teeth” do not exist. He added, “Instead of having the cooperation of all depart ments of the government set up to help us, we farmers are caught in a conflict between different branches and we suffer.” Frank Mattern, manager of a .1,100-acre, farm in Huntingdon County, testified that farmers tried to form a district in the southern part of the county. He said that Light held a meeting but that half a dozen farmers from the upper half of the country spoke against the program. Mattern said these farmers were apparently out of their dis trict and had no right to testify. Hellmers Given Trophy As Pershing Rifle Queen Gertrude L. Hellmers ’4l, en tered the royal family of queens last night when Capt. Aubrey G. Nonemaker, Pershing Rifle com mander, presented her with a cup making. her honorary com mander and sponsor of the local Pershing Rifle Company, at their open house meeting. Dressed in a “snappy” military outfit of white whip-cord and an overseas cap, Miss Hellmers in spected the company along with other officers. After the com pany went through their drill, a group of six cadets exhibited some trick drill. Col. Edward D. Ardery, head of ROTC, gave a talk comple menting the company on its work. Miss Hellmers will parti cipate with the company in the graduation parade. Thai Day's Here Again! Can You Guess The Date! Do you know what day this is?
