State College, Pa,
December 17, 1920
To the Editor of collegian
Dear Sir:
In the December 17 issue of the
collegian it was noticed and com
mented upon-—unfavorably—that t'*c
Senioi Ball is to be held in the Airi
ory instead of m Rccicution Hall this
year If the concensus of student opin
ion was taken it would he found unde
niable that this site is much too small
foi such an affair.
Fiom past experience it has been
found that the Aimory is entirely t< o
small to accommodate the 400 or mote
couples who will probably attend. A'-
though Recreation Hall is pool, m
acoustics it is the logical place in
which this dance should be held If ac
tion were taken with the gentlemen
contiollmg the Hall so that it would
be peimissable to hang diops fiom the
steel structuie, the sound could he
distributed so as to be heard over the
cntlro Hall
Surely it would not injure the steel
if such drapes were hung If'ie
quested to do so, decoiation compan
ies will guaiantee that no damage
will bo incurred by such methods Jr
must be lemembered that the floor ol
the Armory is like n “wash boaid’’
wheieas the Recreation Ilall piovidns

dancmg suifacc.
