ARE IST ACQUIRING CULTURE?
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.

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.
Thanking you in advance for your
eonsidenttlon of these suggestions, I

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.
