Cabinet's Power
On Chapel Fund
Is Questioned
The Penn State in China com
mittee decided yesterday to ask
President Ralph D. 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.

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.

Weighting the votes by allocat

each polled 15 per cent of the
total vote.
Recreation Hall polled 10 per
cent and the preferential draw

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

years. 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

PRICE THREE CENTS
McDowell, Light
Fail To Testify
In College Probe
Special to The Daily Collegian
HARRISBURG, March 31.
The expected examination of
John H. 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.
