ORCHESTRA CONCERT
College Orchestra in Its Annual Ap-
pearance Produces Excellent Mu-
A small, but very appreciative
assemblage, gathered at the Audi
torium last Sat nday evening to hear
the Penn State Conceit Orchestra
render its program. Owing to the
fact that there wore several other
college activities on the same even
ing, only a few attended the concert
but it was evident that the true
lovers of music of this community
were collected there since they had
sacrificed all other pleasures for this
one.
The orchestra lost several good
men by graduation last year but with
the old men and a goodly number of
new mer, Conductor Snavely was
able to bring it up to its old stand
ard —even ‘■urpass it and truly ex
cellent music was produced. Great
credit is, therefore, due leader Snav
ely for once more presenting an
orchestra which is capable of such
pleasing entertainment as was en
joyed last Saturday evening and
with it many thanks to him and the
individual members of the organiza
tion for the efforts which they have
exerted.
The program was of a vaiied
natuie consisting of both classical
and popular music and apparently it
-was.pleasing to all since the num
bers oi u oth kinds of music were
applauded with like v gor. A high
ly entei tabling feature of the con
cert was a splendidly rendered vio
lin solo by Mr.Snavely, followed by
Traumerei as an encore which he
played in a most pleasing style.
Dvorak’s Humoresque and The
American Patrol were so ll
executed and pleased the patrons
so much that the orchestra was
obliged to repeat both nuinbeis.
The other selections were also well
received.
This was the first concert of the
yeai by any of the home musical
organizations and,as was said before,
was very poorly attended. Even
when considering the several other
affairs of interest scheduled for the
same evening, the number was en
tirely too small. We must do bet
ter in the support of our musical
clubs and should at least show our
appreciation of their labors by an
attendance at their perfotmances.
The Yale Meet.
The Yale Wrestling Contest at
State College February 23 will prob
ably be the greatest night for Penn
State Wrestling that the institution
has ever seen. A large number of
visitors and alumni are expected
foi that occasion and the manage
ment has arranged special plans
whereby eveiy courtesy may be
shown to the alumni who return to
the meet. The number of reserved
seats is limited. Heretofoie no
provision was made for sophomores
and freshmen, but owing to ad
ditional bleacher space, it will be
possible to sell a few tickets to un
derclassmen. Admission to the
Armory will be by ticket only.
C. MacC. Breitinger, ’ll, has left
the Allis Chalmers company, to ac
cept an offer from the A. O. Smith
company, of Milwaukee. He is in
charge of the Oxhydric plant. His
new address is 233 Tenth Street,

Mining News,
During the past week the School
has received fro.r. the E. L. Du-.
Pont Nemours Powder company
three mahogany display cases, con
taining a complete exhibit of the
blasting powders, and dynamites
which this company makes for use
in mining and cjuarryirg. It may
be noted howevti that the explo
sive propeity of these specimens is
.’iot to be as they arc what
| are known as dummy powders. I
[■ It may be ot intciest to note that
| the annual calendar sent to the coal,
! trade by the Wetson Dosdon & Co. 1
Inc., miners, and shippers of both.
| anthracite and bituminous coais, l
j Bethlehem, Pa., bears a large size
; picture of the Anthracite Mine
| Model in our Mining Museum. It
' also contains a description of the
model and states that “this model
together with similar exhibits makes
one of the finest collections of its
kind in the United States”. This
calendar makes a very hands; me
appearance and should do good
service for the company putting it 1
out, and also for the School of
Mines.
An Eligibility Rule,
Beginning next year men entering.
Penn State from other colleges will be
debarred from participating in our
varsity athletics until they have
been here for one calendar year.
There has been a great deal of con
troversy among the colleges having
thisiuhrgas to what constitutes a
college. The requirements and
standings of many of the so-called
colleges and universities are so low
that their graduates cannot pass
State’s entrance rcquiiements. A
discussion of this point at the N. C. 1
A. A. meeting held recently in New
York City led practically all of the
delegates to adopt rulings similar to !
those maintained at Columbia Uni-,
versitv. At- present, a man entei -
ing Columbia fiom another institu
tion must, accoiding to their ruling, l
make at least sophomore standing i
before he is consideied as coming'
from another college or university.
