THURSDAY, FEB. 22, 1912 Smoking l n direct opposition to in Armory, the request of the management of the various teams which use the Armory, that no smoking be done while such teams are in the build- ing, on numerous occasions within the past few weeks smoking has been noticed. This is particularly true in varsity and class basketball games, and was also in evidence at the final trials for the wrestling team. Although the question seemed to be settled definitely last year, some of us seem to have for- gotten the ruling. Any one who has played basket- ball or who has wrestled on the Armory floor will testify to the dif —fisulty—a£-getSssg- ptesty-of fiesL air in the room, and anything that we can do to improve conditions should be done. While some of the men have smoked between halves in the basketball games, even this should be eliminated. The smoke is partially retained in the room until the half commences, and quickly affects the wind of the men on the floor. Let us give the teams a square deal, men, and cease all smoking in the Armory. Y. M. C. A. Entertainment. The last of the series of enter tainments, presented by the Young Men’s Christian Association of the college, was given in the Auditor ium Saturday evening before a good sized audience. The English Opera Singers made an ideal conclusion, or even climax, to an excellent and remarkably well balanced course. Mr. Walter Flora is the possessor of a beautiful tenor voice of great range, and his singing was a fea ture of the program. Miss Char lotte Simpson is a soprano singer of great ability, while Miss Marie Bolen’s clear contralto completely captivated her hearers, especially in the Gypsy scene. Mr. Harry C. Lombard possesses a rich baritone voice, and sings with much taste and style. The playing of Miss Orline Ochs, pianist, was very en joyable. The voices of the com pany, in solos or when blended in duet or quartette, were of a quality not often heard—well cultivated, and of good range. Part one of the program opened with Fanning’s “Song of the Vik ing," by the company, followed by a baritone solo, De Koven’s "Song of the Turn-Key,” by Mr. Lombard. Miss Simpson and Mr. Flora sang “Behold the Hill-tops All Aglow,” after which “Now the Night in Starlight Splendor," from Lucia, was sung by the Company. Mr. Flora’s beautiful solo, “Mona,” and a well played piano solo, “Rigo letto,” by Miss Ochs, completed the first part of the program. Part two consisted of a gypsy scene, in costume, introducing Gypsy songs from “The Bohemian Girl,” "II Trovatore," and other operas. In part three the “Hiring Fair,” and the “Farm House Scene," from “Martha” were sung by the company. Parts two and three were charm ing features of the program, the costumes adding greatly to the ef fect of the whole. The artistic ability and personality of each member of the company produced a musical attraction of sterling quality. Students Should do More Technical Reading. The School of Engineering through a committee especially ap pointed by Dean Jackson has done considerable work the past few weeks in bettering the facilities of the Reading Room in the Engineer ing Building. The room has been rearranged, racks have been install ed. To help the students in select ing articles of interest, the instruc tors in the Engineering School will post a list about twice a month which shall be selected from all of the current magazines and engineer ing papers. About seventy-five technical magazines are now being regularly received at the School Library and an effort has been made in the selection of these to accommodate the wants of the departments and students. The committee would be glad to hear of any good papers or magazines not yet being receiv ed in the Reading Room. It is desired here to call the at tention of the students to the facilities offered and to urge a wid er use of the literature on various tecEriicaT "subjects. The” Librarian in charge will assist students in finding the different articles posted, and the rules adopted are not in tended to restrict a broad use of these magazines. Resolutions on the Death of Dr. Gill. In the death of Dr. Benjamin Gill the Literary Club has lost one who is not only its oldest charter member, but one who was also in a peculiar way its father and its lead ing spirit. His genuine culture, which was deep and broad, his genial spirit, his gift of comrade ship, his enthusiastic love of all that is best in literature and art, his fearless spirit which always con demned snobbery and bigotry and narrowness of view, and his stead fast faith in man and in God, have become not only a part of the priceless memories of the Club, but they have enwoven themselves into its very fabric. He will be to it not only a precious memory and tradition, but, what is far more, one who will always stand as its ideal of culture and comradeship and fear lessness for truth and right. From his urn he will still rule us. We therefore while we express our sympathy with his bereaved friends, would register also our solemn sense of gratitude for his life which we were permitted so long to share and that has left so deep an impress not only upon our club but also upon our college and our com munity.

The old saying runs —music hath its charm —of course that means real music, and well may the pro duction of Penn State’s Cadet Band be classed as such. Any person, that attended the concert last Sun day evening whose feelings were not aroused, and who was not in spired to some degree at least, must have been impregnable. The entire program was rendered in an excel lent manner, and martial music, opera selections, and overtures were played with equal proficiency. The second selection was especially gratifying, the style, phraseology, and the complete mastery of the diverse intricacies, being beyond criticism, which attested to previous hard work on part of the band. Great credit is due to the leader, and to his musicians, for the pleasure which they gave to the audience, which is in hopes of hear ing another band concert in the near future. The Program was as follows: — March —Washington Grays, Gra fulla; Overture —Orphensinder Un terweld, Offenbach; Selection —II Trovatore, Verdi; (a) Patrol Gaurd Mount, Eilenberg; (b) Sextette — Lucia di Lammermoor, Donnzetti; American Fantasia, Tobani; Selec tion —Faust, Gounod; March —Dun- lap Commandery.Hall.
