AN APPRECIATION
"Medea" was a pleasant change. From a
student viewpoint, this tragedy of Eta mides,
staged by The Playeis, presented State College in'
new and highly-gratifying light. It presented
this little town as a place in which Greek tragedy
Is appreciated and enjoyed. The Bullosopher
made a grave mistake when he said the vaccina
tion wouldn't take—and we're glad he was mis
taken, because the sight of a decently-crowded
Auditorium applauding tragedy is like a long
assailed rain in a land of drought.
"Medea" made quite an impression It was
thoroughly enjoyed, even by some Industrial En
gineering students who sat immediately behind
us Then• comments were not so ecpiessive, but
they indicated that cultural efforts are being made
a , far west as Engineering C Why these chaps
erc not compelled to stay in their rooming hous
es to study more hydraulics or something, is quite
the mystery We are prone to think, however,
that "Medea" meant more than calculus and phys
ics and their henchmen Too, there were some
Commet cc and Finance students who strayed from
the fold and betrayed a classical instinct.
o indulge in more personalities would be
mdiscreeet. This article has digressed enough.
The Mayen, must be commended for then• great
work in bringing to State College something to
talk about, and we might add that the success
of "Medea" augur s well tsr repetition, in for mm e
of the Greek drama.
IF THE SHOE FITS, YOU'RE CINDERELLA
"The stag at eve had drunk his Ur—and had
repaired to the scene of a fraternity dance. A
little "push" and an "Excupe %me, please?" ut
tered at opportune moments, will get a stag any
whei c. As a stag at a fraternity dance, and be
ing possessed of a "smooth" personality and a
suave tongue, one may pass through the redoubts
(tour r ows o 1 'em) of the stags and finally get a
glimpse or the small group of dancers who make
use of the little room which is almost roped off
tot then perfoi mantes If one should lack the
"smooth" qualities enumerated, one must be con
tent with listening to the music, which emanates
from "somewhere beyond" the rows of shining,
pasted skulls which block the way to the scene 01

Thr is the situation ‘Nhich confloats the fra
ternity which is listed rn 'Who's Dancing"
What's to be done about it? The Interfratermty
Council tiled to stop the stags' proclivities to
ward week-end boorishness, but the "cut-in" sys
tem has not seised its purpose. What's to be
clone? The ~ tag is, apparently, an unremovable
evil—the collegian must be a boot, whether in a
theatic m at a dance.
This problem invites no investigation. In
vestigation would inciease the number of stags.
akc sin word for it. Perhaps the reader may be
one of the army of unfortunates; lie may have
had the pleasure of every bit of half a dance with
the girl whom he took to his chapter dance.
A solution? At present, sophomores please
note, ,lumens and seniors are permitted the priv
ilege of visiting. As a last resort, shall the sen
iors lie given the exclusive right? As a last re
sort'
KOLLEGE RUTS
Every student and every green-eyed, student
deploring critic is perfectly familiar with the tea
fighting snake of a collegian as he appears in the
campus. comic. This 'ward does provoke a smirk,
doesr't he—with his skinny shanks encased in
flapping "ti ou"; his flask full, and his skull en
ending .in exquisitely hidden—so he thinks—
vacuity?
We are amused at the brilliant antirs of the
"Inscuit-mongers" or Judge, Jr.; the slim and
slump-shouldeied and utterly purposeless gang
created by John lleld's pen never fails to please.
This, the Indict ous, side of college life is pleasing,
in so fai as it portrays the easy, carefree, impet
uous, daring, quick-but mug fire that is youth.
This exponent of "the leaders of the - next
generation," this "sap", hasn't a care in life. The
older rascals look on him wistfully, they semin
ism The high-school youth looks at him with a
longing to imitate. lie is an artificial being, but
he has not a care—and who does not wish that to
be his own state? Theie he sits, stands or stag
geis—the gin-happy, necking, speeding, dancing
collegian, the leader of tomorrow Ills is the
calm of wide trousers, wet blankets, flat tires;
orgies in which lie is boiled, fried, out on his feet.
, Ile is the college man—as the kampus komics fain
I would have him.

' A peculuu twist is that many take the result

It might be a good idea for Froth to try its
hand at such an issue. Ideas seem to be rather

ONCE UPON A TIME there was a man whose
life's ambition was to take unto himself a
pipe. Time and again his heart was set on
some particular pipe—but poor fellow, his
dreams never came true.. .

Granger Rough Cut... Itworked ! Ina few
weeks' time he was solidly wedded to a
wonderful pipe... sitting pretty,fixed forlife!
Indeed, but for Granger many a man
would never know the joy and comfort of
a pipe! Granger is so mild, so mellow, so
cool! Ripe old Burley tobacco, mellowed
Wellman's way. And cut in rough flakes
that burn slow and smoke cool ...
Granger's mission in life is to see that
no man ever experiences a pipe disappoint
ment. . . Just stick to Granger and your
old pipe'll be a perfect pal—nght through
the years. Forever! . ,
