All fraternities agree, nevertheless, that the plan is mock able. If the Council guards against possible discsepan cies by clarifying more fully the clause which prescmbes the method of dating, the COLLEGIAN believes that the code van prove a boon to fraternity sushing. Pending the acceptance of the code, the Proposed mer ger of Interfiaternity and Intramural councils has been hanging fire far the past few necks. The fast move in that duection was made last night when a committee from each group met jointly to consider the suggested com bine. It is believed that this committee will reach a def inite decision berme the end of the week. The uoithiness of the plan is unquestioned and, in the opinion of the COLLEGIAN, Intramural council would advance its own cause by a ready acceptance of the code A NEEDED RESPITE With less than a month of school remaining, final examinations are the paramount interest—and noisy—of the undergraduate body Toim papers, reading reports, and other research assignments are claiming ',lacteal!" every minute of the student's time as he tries almost vainly to complete outside walk berme the termination of the semester Success is inevitable, however, since professor. 1:1 leniency permits the students to hand in these report on the eve of examination week. The real loser by this practice is the student. Pushed to the limit m his efforts' . to complete these outside papers, the coming of final ex aminations is forgotten and, as a result, the only prepara tion foi these all-inclusive tests Is a burned review of the semester's Satisfied aftel a semester's trial that the plan is a feasible one, the College of kits and Science at Cornell university has iterated that the students may have absolute schplastic freedom during the week preceding final exam mations The instructors have the final wold, howeker, since it is for them to say whether the class will meet et not Admitting that a thorough review is impossible when daily assignments aie exacted until the close of the sem ester, the Cainell faculty is making a determined effoit to finish the work of then courses in time to grant theft students a week of complete freedom. Faculty members here should realize the saneness of such a plan and, as an expression of then approval, suspend classes during the week weeding final examinations. MUSIC AND CULTURE Penn State music lovers will find worthwhile Lintel tamment in the conceit to he Presented by the College Symphony orchestra and Mandolin club in Schwab audi torium Thursday night. The orchestra is under the able direction of Bandmaster Vilified 0. Thompson, recognized for ninny years as the power that has given such high rating to the musical organizations of the College. Obviously organizations like the College Symphony orchestra and the Mandolin club are an enhancement to the cultural background of Penn State. To the sixty mem bet s of the orchestra and the twenty members of the string ensemble come first-hand knowledge of the works of great composers. The symphonies of Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn, the important orchestral works of Mendelssohn and Tschalliowsky, the major compositions of other universally known musicians—all these cue mastered, and loved. There can be little doubt as to the immeasurable value of this training to the participants. Then, too, the College community as a whole benefits through these concerts. In this age of modernized rhythm the layman is afforded little opportunity to become inti mately acquainted with the great classicists. What the Symphony orchestra and Mandolin club can do to fill the need for music that is really enduring from century to century should be deeply npmeciated by the student body. Whether or not this appreciation is felt will be revealed by the attendance at the concert Thursday night. i I X I 0 14 1 9 SI G ' ) bll9 - 3 4 .‘._ y ,..

Dui ing the past week-end even a ten-second linen was likely to be punished. The treatment accorded the Flesh men in the vicinity of the Libel al Acts building WAS cowardly in all respects It was the subject of much comment by faculty members and by broad minded students.
