Lion Fans
Seek Rooms
In Pittsburgh
. With Pitt weekend in the off
ing, and the Pittsburgh hotel
strike still on, Nittany Lion fans
are wondering just where they
will be staying before* and .after
the game.
.All hotel reservations have
been cancelled, and even the
football squad had to find other
quarters almost at the last min
ute. Neil Fleming, graduate man
ager of athletics, said yesterday
that, since the team can not stay
at the Hotel Schenley, accommo
dations were secured at a small
hotel about an hour’s drive from
Pittsburgh. The team will make
the trip to Pittsburgh Friday
night, returning Sunday.
: At last report Hum Fishburn
was still in Pittsburgh looking
for rooms for the Blue Band.
The general consensus seems to
be .that Pittsburgh friends and
relatives of Penn State students
and alumni will have a sudden
influx of house guests this week
end.
Most" of the fraternities and
other groups ‘on campus will be
scattered throughout the Pitts
burgh area, meeting at previous
ly-arranged central points for
parties, dances, and smokers.
Tau Kappa Epsilon reports that
ten of the. brothers who live in
Pittsburgh have made arrange
ments'to take care of the entire
fraternity and their dates. They
Willi gather at the Glass Bar lo
cated between Bridgeville and
Oanncntlburg-about ten miles out
side Pittsburgh.

Russian-Born Dr. Janzen Transforms
"Come on", "All Right" Into Doctorate
“Come On” and “All Right”
were the only English words he
spoke when he landed in Canada
23 years ago. Now he holds a doc
torate and is a faculty member in
the political science department
of the College.
Dr. Henry Janzen was born in
Russia of Dutch-Mennonite par
entage and lived there for 20
years through a revolution, a civil
war, a famine and pestilence.
Reticent About Past
He is vei*y reticent about
speaking of the past. “I have no
pity for those immigrants from
the old country who constantly
live in the past. All that is passed
is done with, and we must live
in the present,” Dr. Janzen said.
But some of his hardships in
Russia did come to light. Since
his family owned property and
“exploited” labor for profit, they
were on the receiving end during
the Revolution. The Janzen -fam
ily lived in an area where the

To be discussed is this question:

In 316 Sparks at 4:15 ip. m.,
Richard K. Hill will preside as
the College negative team will de

Samuel Neeley and Edward

These debates will be non-deci

the conclusion of the meeting.
Coach O’Brien asserted that
many of our. debates this season
will be non-decision affairs. Rea

is that .speakers,,pan. concentrate

A call for tunesmiths and lyri
cists was msde this morning by
Dick Sarge, sophomore class pres
ident.
“The indefinite ’Class of Forty

Class of ’49 and a class song is
needed,” Sarge said.
Songs should be written in the
parody style using a well-estab
lished tune with nelw lyrics and
should be more than one verse
in length with a chorus.
New tunes will be considered,
however, should they be catchy.
Songs may be submitted,'marked

Union desk in Old Main before
December 3. The new class song,
best of those submitted, will be
presented at the Soph Mixer De

clashed repeatedly. Besides being
the ■ center of this fighting, the
area was attacked by partisan
groups. One of the largest had its
headquarters in the neighborhood
of their village. Time and again
they would- swoop down and
plunder the small town.
Typhus Epidemic
One winter this partisan group
of 70,000 men brought with their
destruction, pestilence. A typhus
epidemic seized the village. Of
the 3,000 population, 700 people
died of typhus that winter;-
At the end of the civil war the
countryside was in ruins. There
were no draft animals and the
crops had not been sowed. Again
the people of the village suf
fered, and in the winter of 1921
many died from famine.

Syracuse Edit
Blasts Miami
“No thanks, Miami” was the
title of an editorial appearing on
the sports page ol ! the Syracuse
Daily Orange, Syracuse Univer
sity student paper. The article ex
pressed student opinion about a
reported invitation from Miami
University to play Syracuse in
football, replacing the cancelled
Penn State-Miami game.
Miami’s game with Penn State
for Nov. 30 was called off because
of two Negro players on the Penn
State team. Although there was
no official confirmation of the
Miami offer, student opinion at
Syracuse rejected such an invita
tion as “an insult t 0 the univer
sity and its fine teams.”
The editorial continued, “Un
less Miami changes its athletic
policy it would be better for all
concerned if they were dropped
from the realm of college ath
letics.”
“In a spot that is already bat
tered snd rocked by tinges of dis
honor, this latest indignity
reaches a new high,” th e article
concluded.

To Continue
Building Plans
Student Union Committee is
planning to carry on their work
as far as conditions will permit
although it will be impossible to
start construction for at least two
years according to C. Samuel
Wyand, assistant to the president.
"The administration is defi
nitely in favor of a Student Union’
building,” Mr. Wyand said at a
meeting, “but shortages of labor,
materials and money make it dif
ficult to carry plans into effect
immediately.
“There are three methods of ob
taining money for new college
building,” he said. “We raise
funds through state appropriation,
by floating a bond on a self-liqui
dating building such as dormi
tories and dining commons, and
by gifts and bequests from the
alumni.”
. “The third method is the only
practical way for the Student
Union to obtain money,” he con
tinued. “It would be necessary to
lay a blank check before the con
tractors to start building now
and this is not possible by this
method.”
Representatives of 30 organiza
tions attending the meeting de
cided on continuing work on the
project as far as possible so that
details will be taken care of when
construction can begin.
