Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Assoc.ntmn Nows Editor this issue FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4. 1923 INTERCOLLEGIATE DRAMATICS Less than a yeai ago, an idea v.as conceived, an idea thac promises to revvaid its mstigatois and then interests tenfold. Last spnng, lcpicsentativcs ot ten colleges and umxeiMtie*, at the invitation of the Penn State Playcis, met in State College and dievv up plans for a Pennsylvania Intel collegiate Diamatic Toui nament At that time it was only an idle dicam, but tonight «md tomonovv will find that dicam a leahtj Penn State has been honored by being selected as the site 101 the fust tourney and since the Playeis aie acting as hosts, thev will not enter a play m the competition. Seven colleges will pioduce sketches on the Auditorium stage tonight and tomonovv night and capable judges will avvaid beautiful loving cups to the first and second prize winncis. When one levievvs the events of the past ten yeais. he is! sin prised at the lapid slndes which amateur dramatics have taken in the colleges and' univVisities ot Amenca"" They have lisen fiom a place of modiocnt> until non tney occupy one of the leading places in e\tia-cunicular activities 'The excellent train ing which one icccives m dramatics at college needs no imther pioot than a glance at former undergraduate actons who aie now stalling on the professional stage. Theie has long been a need ioi conccntiated effoits on the pait ol chamatic clubs m oulei that plays, idea', and helptui sug gestions might be inteichangcd. And it is gratifying to know that the dramatic club of Penn State has been the one to take ill’s initial step m the piomotion of intercollegiate productions. AND WE CAME AWAY HAPPY Parkness was beginning to envelop the Pitt Stadium last Thm ”1 ly alteinoon when a batteied Lion, pioudei in defeat than it 1 ' eon for four yeais, walked off the field. There was no gloom l the Penn State team, no logiet m the hearts of more than live thousand lojal Blue and White iollovvcis, for the Lion had icdecmecl itself, had plajed a groat game against a gieat foe. It vv as v ictory for Penn State. -Thei ewas «i spu it that could not help but bring foith piaise tiom even the Lion’s most biller opponent Theie was that indefinable something that gave Penn State undergraduates the feeling that heie was a team, a team that would not ciawl on its hands <tnd knees but would fight to the last ditch And it did. • Penn State was battling one of the gieatesl teams in the country and even it we could offer an alibi for the deleat, we would not do it. We are satisfied with the showing, we aie convinced that a tvpical Penn State machine plaved against the Panthei. Pittsbiugh scribes were dumbfounded, they could rot icalr/c that the learn was the same that had furnished listless battles against the Panlhci for the past four jeais. With the close of the season, Penn State undergraduates and alumni can lest peacefully with a pleasant taste in their mouths as against the customary sour one To Coach Hugo Pe'dck and his men. we take off our hats! WE HAVE WITH US With this issue of the COLLEGIAN. Penn State undei grad uates leccive their semi-annual treat—the announcement of the final examination schedule. It is nice to think ot the past Thanksgiving “lest,” it is pleasant to think of the coming Christ mas vacation, but it is much more pleasant to think about the wonderful times that await us four weeks a'ftei the Yuletidc re spite. Usually at this time of the year, the COLLEGIAN comes out with its annual cditoual on the evils of’examinations/ This time, the cditois will fool the student body, \yill depart from their uistomniy procedure and use the‘usual for adveilisements Wo have aigued year aftei year about the folly of final exa minations We could continue to argue for the next century and still the COLLEGIAN would have its twice-a-yeai surpiise in the foim of the schedule It has taken years to convince U 3 that even Daniel Webslci himself could not change the minds of ihnse who hand us the “piogram” foi publication. It voulfi give us great plcasme to inform vou that theie are more Phi Beta Kappas per student in colleges and universities whoie finals aie passe. However, it would be impossible to do this without limning the risk of a libel suit. Gentlemen, let us bow our heads m prajer and be thankful that we don’t have finals in the middle of each semester. As was stated befoio, vou can aiguc night and day about the merits and otherwise of final examinations but the fact re mains thatTvvc have them. There aie six, vveeks of college re maining before we shoulder blue-books, pencils'’pens and sleepy eyes in a march to the fateful den. Let us begin "taking inven tory befoie it is too late. _ .
