Foilbes Watson, the distinguish ed critic, has written, concerning the fresco, "Out of purely Ameri jean sulbject matter of a partic ularly significant kind, Poor has designed a TresCo which is cer tainly one of the greatest works of art produced in this country." thinese Student Asks Re-education of Japs The Japanese should be ruled by a strict Allied military govern ment "until they become human beings again," a Chinese graduate student at the College declared to day. In the opinion of Ching Wu, who was sent by the Chinese, gov ernmentto study American mining methods, . killing the Japanese militarists would result in no long range benefits. "The entire Japanese nation will have to be re-educated," he . said, adding "the Japs are a tough, ruth . le.s, selfish people." Americans,' he reminded, are re garded 'by the Chinese as their "only real friends." His nation, he added, is looking to the United States for leadership in the post war era, particularly in industrial expansion. Ching Wu, who holds a bache lor's degree froin the Chisotso Col lege of Engineerihg, operated Chi nese government! coal and gold Mines and served as chief of the technical section of the depart ment' of Mines, before• coming to this country in January 1944.

These all have something in common. How ever, coeds who hope to be mem bers of the Penn State Riding Club must learn the difference - because it is part of the riding test to be able to groom a horse. "No, none of the girls seem . te object to this requirement," Mar jorie Raines, president of the club, asserted as she herself was groom ing Hunter, a club horse. "Their winter hair is coming out now and it takes careful grooming to keep their coats nice," she added. Membership in the Riding Club isn't limited to girls although the present majority is 89 to three in favor of the girls, according to Miss Marie Haidt, membership and publicity chairman. "We expect the membership to reach 100," announced Miss Haidt. 'Last semester we had 66 and dur ing the summer semester 53. Pre vious to last fall's membership, 60 was the • most members the club has ever had." The Penn State Riding Club is a cooperative, self-supporting or ganization .with students and fac ulty working together. The club had its beginning - in 1939 when in answer to an ad in Collegian 100 students interested in riding met to see what could be accomplished in the way of secur ing horses. Sixty students who were really interested in the project invested $lO each and with the help of Dr. Henry L. Yeagley, the first Riding Club was formed. Three horses, three saddles, and three bridles were purchased with this initial investment. The picture of the horse which appears on a blotter recently distributed on campus is that of the first club horse. For a - While the horses were kept in a'rented barn about a mile from campus. A groom was hired to.tend the horses and it is only recently that grooming has been required of the riderS. When the club had to give up this barn they rented half of-the Campus Saddle School Stable but found this arrangement so unsat isfactory that the club :was tem porarily 'disbanded. After this disbanding President Hetzel appointed the Recreation Coordinating Committee to en courage arid help the College to support all branches of activities . including the Riding Club. During the past several years the club has been operated by a Caries .Sho:O. SPRING COAT' 20% aff These coats are nevi Spring styles .
