Some one remarked the other day that the Penn State student body was acquiring culture. He based this remark upon the fact that last Sunday afternoon for the first time in his memory a packed house was present to hear the orchestra concert which was a part of the regular winter musical series of entertainments. The auditors of the concert had warning beforehand that the program would con sist solely of excellent classical selections and notwithstanding this tact, the Auditorium was filled to capacity. He said that this on_ incident convinced him that the average student, who is popularly supposed to enjoy nothing but the most syncopated jazz and who is pictured as being bored to somnolence by what the intellectual call - good music", really has an ear for music and can enjoy a pro gram composed of classical selections. This is indeed a comforting thought. The student of today is a mucn maligned person and it is consoling to know that at Venn State at least the genus student has one earmark of culture namely the appreciation of good music The orchestra also deserves honorable mention for its work, am. it is a second comforting thought to know that Penn State has a, organization capable of producing such entertainment. The con cert last Sunday given by the orchestra under the auspices of in, Military Department was one of the best Sunday concerts we hav,.. heard and we would like to have more of them. CLASS DISTINCTION Is the time-worn observance of class distinction at Penn Stare gradually going the way of other customs which have finally neen discarded occause of the influx of new ideas or it is merely suffering a relapse which will eventually disappear and leave a strengthened custom in its place? This is the question which now confronts the student body at this institution. The recent actions of sonic members of the tm, lower classes at athletic events in the Armory have forcibily brought the matter to the attention of the upperclassmen and have lead to not a little righteous indignation. Disregarding large sighs Wilk. have been placed on the stands for the purpose of seating students according to their rank, underclassmen have deliberately taken seats in sections reserved for upperclassmen and have consequently com pelled many of the latter to stand or seek places among the Sopho mores and Freshmen. Some have even dared to sit in portions of the stands which have been specifically set aside for ladies and their escorts and for members of the faculty. The section reserved for letter men has been tilled, too, with students who do not possess the slightest right to such positions. In the latter case, however, the Seniors and Juniors have been as guilty as the lower classes. Letter men have rarely managed to secure places in the section allotted to them hy tne Athletic Association because of the combined desires of the students. Ihe entire question, in any case, rests on the matter of class here was a time wnen this custom held a cherisheu position in the hearts of Penn State men and women and when but a shot breach of it would bring the promptest reprimand, but the passing of years has produced a change and discrimination is no longer rigidly observed. Many of the time honored customs are now laboring under severe strain but none are threatened more per ilously than that of class distinction. Even those of us who have been at this institution for only three or four years can recall inci dents which received condemnation during our Freshmen days and which would pass today unnoticed. distinctiun What shad be done? Shall Penn State's noblest and most re vered custom be permitted to pass out of existence or shall we take a determined stand which will restore the custom to its former Our•earnest belief is that everyone wants class distinction. It we do desire it, we can secure it only by whole-hearted coop eration, a means which has already done so much toward preserving tee customs introduced by our predecessors. Every man must sol emnly vow to back the movement, faithfully following it out himseit and doing his best to see that others obey it. EVERY HAMLET HAS HIS DAY The months of February and March seem to be the heyday of the dramatic organizations. The Penn State Players start the list of performances with their special anniversary production this evening winch they promise will be the best ever. The Rehabilitation Club follows closely with its annual revue entitled "The Jollies of 1922", while the 1 hespians climax the mid-winter season with their offering next month. ••••1 V'e wish all these organizations the best of luck in their en .1 ter prises. The college needs just such entertainment. Our oppor tunities for recreation are limited necessarily by our location and all additions to our sources of amusement are appreciated. The type of performance is varied in each organization and each has its place. but all are alike in at least one respect. They arc all good. 11!!!!Mli!!!!

The Letter Box SEM Penn State Collegian Dear Sir: I have several matters in mind which I think might he brought out through the pages of f he. college paper. The first is the matter of the Easter vacation. I remember last year there was a movement under way to change the vacation dates from the Wednes day noon—Wednesday idea to Friday night—Monday morning, ten days later, the vacation dates in vogue in many colleges. This would loran absence from classes an extra half day. Satur day morning. although I think it would be advisable to 'resume classes again Monday noon so 'no to - 010 away with the necessity of traveling on Sunday. Last year it was thought inadvigable to make the change on account of sev eral dates which could not be changed at that late hour, but The Collegian said the matter e,alti to be considered for further years as a pert - a:mitt change in the school program. I du not know whether or not the matter has come up before the Board of Directors, Stu dent Council or Faculty. butt I think sentiment might be created toward the extended vacation plan through the ed itorial columns of The Collegian. If the movement is. begun in time it should he successful. According to our Pretty hn his first speech here, a Just STlll'll'lll denaind , cannot be denied. I would also suggest that the scores of all winter sports lie printed front time to time in .The Collegian itt the form of a summary, and possibly im portant scores of other colleges with whom we must compete In any sport.

PATRONIZE 111'II ADVERTISERS big or little company—which? fHEN the talk turns to where should a ellow start work, a question arises on which college men naturally take sides. "You'll be buried in the big company," say some. "Everything is red tape and depart ments working against each other." "Your little company never gets you any where," others assert. "The bigger the company the bigger your opportunity." And that seems true—but in a different sense. Not physical size but bigness of purpose should be our standard for judging an indus trial organization just as it is for judging a man. AVhere will you find this company with a vision? Whether its plant covers a hundred acres or is only a dingy shop up three flights is on the face of it no indication of what you want to know—is such and such a company more concerned with developing men and ideas than boosting profits at the eZpense of service? You must look. deeper. What is the or ganization's standing in the industry? What do its customers say? What do its competitors say? There are industries and there are companies which offer you every opportunity to grow. Spiritually they are as big and broad as the earnest man hopes to build himself. If you are that kind of man you will be satisfied with a company of no lower standards. Conversely, if you are working for such a big-souled company, the very fact will argue that you yourself are a man worth while. For in business as in social life a man is known by the company he picks. The electrical industry needs men who can see far and think straight. tern Electric Company An organization width holds for its ideal the •hope that it may measure up to the aspirations of those who work in it.
