The most evident fault we have to find with the Move-up Day ceremonies was the attitude of the freshman and sophomore classes in refusing, it part. to attend the tug-of-war at the appointed time This, it is held, was brought on by the ac tior of Student Council in issuing its resolutions nftei holding a special meeting at noon on Satur day. Of course there may be some persons who think that the action of the Student Council, in imposing such strict penalties upon the freshmen, war severe. Nevertheless, the whole affair grow ing out of Friday night's riot reverts to the find ings of the Student Board. The investigations of the Boaid. which was asisted in its meetings by President Hetzel and Dean Wm neck, revealed that the pajama parade was organized in a freshman class meeting and was not authorized by Student Council. Accordingly, the penalty was justly in flicted upon the freshman class as a body. Both innocent and guilty must suffer, in the paying of the damages claims and in reverting to freshman regulations: the guilty for the obvious seasons, the mocent because they wei a too willing to allow the move to gather momentum. Those members of the freshman class who ale gifted with pow ers of thought and love for the true traditions of Penn State will undoubtedly support the Student Council's action, and will also see that the unthinking bunglers of the freshman class are forced into line. This is the big test fat the manhood which must be in the freshman class —if the thinkeis fail and the rowdies rule, then there is no hope for Penn State's future. Student Council and student gm cunment must be support ed and perpetuated, and probably at no mole ex pense than the lost false pride of a few pig -heads who imagine that colleges are still in the age of farm schools. The radical sophomore. group which intended tc Move up to junior customs and also to donheii hats indicates that there are as many clowns'in that class as there ale in the three most promi nent circuses. What really should be done to the leaders of the radical element must remain for Student Council to decide—we would suggest, however, that the matter of doffing hats in the iumm year should be brought before the Council, the reasoning upperclassmen in the group would favor the matter and giant it as willingly as it was emphatically infused last spi mg. The primary reason for the limiting of bare heads to members of the fourth year class was, once upon a time, tc preserve class distinction. Non, since theie has been the entry of the junior class into the "reasoning" section of the student body, theie should be more co-operation between the two tippet classes. This can be gained by granting the juniors the prn liege of going NN Ith out headpieces. Incidentally, there would then be no reason us by the two classes could not preserve ever} tradition of Penn State by reason of their combined prestige and the undeniable authority which goes with an uncovered head. Should such it petition be presented legally tonight in Student Council meeting, there is little doubt that it will receive serious consideration. But,—if the sophomores who are thought less insist upon a revolt, there is little doubt about the strong-armed conduct which will be evinced by the juniors and seniors of the various student organizations, fraternities and campus societies, in upholding the traditional class regulations of the College. Then hats would never come off! Both freshmen and sophomores - should sup port the action of Student Council, and not per mit the few radical intuits to infringe upon the freedom of the student body at large BEHIND THE SCENES A badly flooded dance floor greeted members of the Move-up Day dance committee as they entered the Armory to arrange the finishing touches fm the dance. The rain had beaten them to it. With the floor thoroughly saturated all possibility of festering it to a point of usefulness anished The second annual Move-up Day dance gave indications of being thoroughly 'wet" until concentrated efforts of the committee members and others finally secured Varsity Hall and Wom en's Building in which to hold the dance. This last-minute shift of plans entailed an abundance of extra work for members of the Move-up Day dance committee. Time was limit ed. Work had to be accomplished. Yet the dance started at the appointed time on two substitute dance floors. Financially the dance was reported as an absolute failure, socially it was a huge suc cess. The entire committee is to be congratulated for their Untiring efforts in overcoming seemingly unsufmountable obstacles in order that the second annual Move-up Day dance might go on. - President Vice-President - Treasurer Editor M-Uhief Assistant Editor Managing Editor Women's Editor The Bullosopher's Chair W. Lord. Jr. '2B P. It Smaltz '2B Smdhers•—Why the pretentious display of laughter this morning, Bullosophm ' You seem to be in unusually good spirits "I am glad to see that you are such a close observer, Smithers Truly you should bike up psycho-analysis or some stud, that uould attempt to unshraud the mystery surioundin spontaneous outbursts by groups of individ uab " Business Manager Advertising Manager Circulation Manager Smithers:—Thot sounds interesting but seem to have forgotten my opening query "Oh, yes, you asked me shy I seemed to be in a jovial mood on this particulai occasion. Well, I'll tell t ou. I neat to see the latest production of the Penn State Play ers entitled, "A Full House," on Saturday night. Ask me anothe.. It B. "inborn TP W J. McLaughlin TB F.mitliersi—Was the performance any good? "Fie or you, Smithers! Evidently Cu have never seer the PlaNers m action The majority of the small erotic!, uho afterward were indeed thankful that they had come, seemed to feel that this latest offering was the best that the Players lime attempted this season. I sill! mod erate that sentiment by saying right heie and now that the performance was the best of the lighter plays that I have seen enacted by the Players" "A Full House" turned out to be a roaring, screaming farce that had the audience in a continuous uproar from start to finish. It is more for ielaxation and amusement rather than for a gent display of intellectual talent. Them is no depth to it and its light qualities made it ideally suited fel such a neck-end Move-up Day festivi ties oidinarily afford." "Evart' dramatic production has a leading character and every cast possesses one or more whose elm erness in stage ability is outstanding. In "A Full House," our palm is profened Miss Osterhout who was without a doubt the star of the evening's entertainment in every sense of that said With a coinedy lead she did mote than her shale in upholding the humor around which the farce de pended Dm ability as a charactes actress was evident Satuiday's pet fermance sac Miss Osterhout's first bid for one of the leads and she came through adm•tably. Shy is laced a find." "But if I spend that much space on es ery member of the large cast necessary for the production of this shoes, thi end of this column will jump to meet me before I am half through. I don't want to slight any of the perform ers and for that reason I will hurry on with a comment here and there as my gaze goes down the program. Mr Piste filled his past as a butler with the motimency of one. who daily denends on that occupation for a living Miss Duttor's tone seas too monotonous and her acting did not seem to measure up to pact standards. Miss DeVore did herself justice but in the ease of Miss Davies, again the voice attracted unfavorable attention, this time being too high pitched and nasal in tone. Miss Davies interpreted het pail well but it seems to me that she would be far bettei suited for a character part. Mr. Roos fulfilled his part with deftness. Mr. Ilko and Mr. Kratz, both veteran Playm performers, orpeared to advantage as two police men but as such, had a more active part than is usually the case with policeman parts. this goes the audience a little mcie time to realize that here were two policemen who were far bettei than the average run of footlight bluecoats Mi MeCalmon, in burlesque, proved himself to he an exceptionally good stage policeman 3lr. Knight coy . ed himself with atm y for his part and, given a lead in future production, lie would fulfill all faith entrusted in him Mi. Knight will be heard from in futuie Player performances or I miss my guess. I liked the work of Mi Smith with his small part. Miss Kistler as a matron, performed admirably in another rather small part es °B elayed' Miss Robertson, as Vera Vernon an 'adventuress, played hes part exceptionally well while Miss Teopell with another minor part showed herself also well-versed in stage deportment" So much for the cast Mi. David Mason deserves es pecial commendation as director of this fun-provoking pro duction His performers showed the effects of his coach lot and that gave indications of a good job well-done. The coins action throughout took place in one room necessi tating no shifting of scenery This attended the stage managers an opportunity to set up an attractive stage which resulted in a well.rplanned lay out In a "one. change" show, such as this there is always, the danger \ et, the audieno trot, nem twea,ol#2 The Stage managers muatrute Ile rergatten:.
