BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
Several year* ago when officials at Penn State
announced then policy of not awarding athletic «ehol
ri'hiprf, a wave of comment passed o\et both alumni and
students. Naturally this comment Mas both favorable
and unfavmahle to a poltev which made Penn State one
of the pioneei institutions in placing its athletics on an
e\ticmel> high lc\el Foigetting the fact that officials
hue weto building for the futuie, negative criticism
gieu louder if the teams failed to win a Inigo portion of
then scheduled contests.
It was natuial that a slight drop in the quality of
teams should be noticed after the sudden elimination of
aP athletic scholaiships It will take a few years foi
officials hete to build up fiom the mateual received
team*- of equal quality to the teams produced by Penn
State during scholarship days Not unmindful of a
cutjin amount of “street corner” cutici*ni which fol
lowed some of his policies, Dean Hugo Be7dek continued
his plan of building foi the futuie bv firmly estab
lishing intramural *poits heio with a motto of “athletics
foi all ”
The finest thing about Penn State’s athletic pohev
may he found in the fact that it is not mciely “out
lined” when the College year begins, hut definite plans
me instigated wheiehy this policy may be successfully
carried out The newest of these was announced by Dean
Eeydek m today’s Collegian It meals that College
eiodits will be given next >eni for paiticipation in
uilinmmnl sports.
Now it is possible that not only a greater num
ber of students will take pait in sports at Penn State,
but \ai*ity material mav be uncovered by conches who
will supervise contests Foi the intramurnl winter
sports me scheduled in the fall months and instiuetors
v’lll he given ample opporlunitj to conih matenal for
possible varsity candidates.
Penn State can well be pioud of the stand it has
trken to decommercinlize college athletics. Teams pro
duced here can take their places beside those at many
colleges who>o policies me still blemished by subsidiza
tion And thcio is no doubt that Penn State teams,
enveloped under a system that has foi it* ideals the
finest ideals of spoit, will leach the highest peak of
collegiate spoitdom within a few’ years.
The lOfil LaVir staff deserves universal commenda
tion for a yeaibook which proved attractive in appear
ance, and onginal in its survey of Penn State’s student
life Editor-in-Chief Pooibaugh i* to be complimented
A FIRM FOUNDATION
To ne\t gear’s Old Mum Dell staff the retiring
Loan! lea\cs an example nnd an oppoi (.unity. The ex
ample is one of capable and diligent 'iioik,i which, has,
unquOstHinablj inised the standards of Penn State’s lit
eral v publication to a new high level The oppoi tunlly
is that of basing upon the foundations which have been
laid a magazine which will fulfill the puipo«es of the
founders even moie thoroughly
The place of Old Mum Hell in the literary and cul
tmal voik of the College has been given new meaning
this yoai Its giadual giowth has received increased
impetus. Gieatei diveisity of niticles, more original
mateiial, inci eased stress on caieful selection and edit
ing, nnd a definite move toward establishing editonal
policy wcie among the improvements.
Aftei a fnlteung stmt seven jears ago the Old
Mam Dell has emerged from the group of literary pub
lications that tiled nnd failed at Penn State, definitely
established nnd suie of permanence. It took a long
step forwnid this year. The way is open to fmthcr
advances It is inevitable that the literniy publication
n«sume a leading role heie, as elsewhere. Whether it
docs, is largely dependent upon the staff elected yes
teidav. The oppoi tunity and the example are clear.
Although the terms, “enjoyable” and “dignified” are
applied with too little fiequoncy to college dances, the
Junior Ptom combined both qualities as few similar af
fairs have. Those who failed to dcclnic the dance suc
cessful are inie, and order was maintained to such an
extent that no violations or m rests were iccoidcd for
the week-end
Added impetus has been given to ficshmen to
turn out for sports by doubling the yeuiling football
schedule next fall. In the last few years it has been
disheartening for some of the plebe gridiron toileis to
wmk nil season without chance of paiticipation in a
s game With foui contests, many moie students will
N Jinve a chance to play, particularly if the two additional
So we had another Thespinn show. Three cheers,
people. Raw 1 Raw ! Raw 1
Some show, and mavbe you think the hoys nnd
girls didn’t have then tnals and tnbulntions getting
that thing togethci Take Ken Iloldcrman, funstance.
A* a icward for helping to write the hook, design
the sets, dn eet the show, compose the music, and w i ite
the Ivncs, Ken got his name all o\cr the progiam and
was allowed to escoit the ladies of the ensemble home
from lehearsal* That job had it* tiouhles, too. One
night when Ken was leading the fiock to Mac Hall he
tupped on one of thse wires they use to hold down
frees around heie, and the fust thing he knew, theie
wa* the author-ile.-.igner-diiector-compo*ei -lyi icist
flat on his face.
Women 1 * Fditor
One hoy who desenes moie credit than ho got
m the Thespian proginm-encyclopedia is Thcodoie A.
Krum, whose name appeal* only twice, ind in pretty
small letteis at that Ted i* the boy who icfused the
Semoi Class Piesidencv, you know, and he was al
most an executive in this case, too One of Ted’s
more nnpoitant duties was to accost the campus big
shots who clashed the leheaisals and ask them what
they weie doing theie anyway Future programs
should include undei the “Executive Staff” the name
of the Chief Bouncci and Gloiified Office Boy.
What we liked most about the Piom was not the
whispeung music, the gay people, or anything like
that It was the globe that lighted the entrance.
You know, the fust tiling we always ask when we
wander onto the scene of a big dance is, “Who in
the world evci put up those glonous dinpes and
things’” Well, theie was the answer to oui ques
tion before we could get it out of our larynx Right
in fiont of us was this beautiful globe announcing*
“Siherstein Decoiators” It’s awfully disconcoiting
to have oui questions answered befoie we ask them
And the next thing we liked about the Piom was
the choice of ia\ors. Pretty neat little knapsacks, eh
pnls2
We weie also pleased with the impoits. You
know, anybody who listens to the local cowboys ruling
the poor co-eds can have a lot of fun if ho lemein
heis who iaz7o.s loudest nnd then notices u'lio has the
homeliest imports. Most of you guvs hotter not say
anything around us anymore
A co-ed who always has a icady loply is Mul
Kist. Just the otliei day she was calmly smoking
in her mom o\ei in Grange Dorm when Mis. Som
merlatt, one of the chapeiones, walked in unan
nounced
hy Mid 1 ” said the chapeione, “Do you mean
to tell me you’ie smoking’”
Mid didn’t mean to tell her anything of the sort
“Why, no,” she lcplicd, flicking the ashes, “I’m just
holding this foi a fellow” 1

Once in a while we ;sit down nnd
think to oui selves thnt perhaps, aftei
all, what used to be oui conception of
real life, to live in a Fifth avenue
apnitment nnd see all the Binndwn\
shows, is not so imich Since we
heard the trains lumblmg under the
avenue and since we saw the Thes
pians produce “Reelv and Trulv”
light here on the campus, it lus u*
wondeimg if New Yoik leiillv has
anything to offei u«.
In oil! shoit span of five years
spent writhing: on the auditorium
seats and sitting tluough iottcn
Thespmn shows, tlicie has appeared
for the fn«t time a pioduction that
provides an evening of amusement
even for the jaded nerves of Piom
addicts. To Soe Kennedy and his.
confrere m directing, Ken Ilolderman,
we give thanks foi the best Thespian
show we’ve seen In the dialog there
appeared the tiaces of Mr Neuw
baum’s nice sense of timing, while
Mr. Fishbuin did help much an or
chestra which, however, could have
been at pracln
week m so longer
without being orortiained
What astounded us was the nicety
and umfoim fitness of the casting
which defied us to find a badly mis
placed charactei If anyone thinks
it is a sinecure to ‘select eight or
ten persons hereabouts, who can
sing, dance, and act, let him step
befoie his mnroi and try his talents
at the throe.
About the book—we know that the
authors -spent sums of money seeing
some foui or five perfoimances of,a
eurient Broadway musical comedy
and then, with atich specific mspn
ation, wrote “Reely and Tiuly.” Wo
also know that this same Manhattan
production wa» lauded only foi its
music and dancing, while the book
was roundly belittled And they
took only the book This, howcvei,
leads us to wondei win the Thes
pians don't each \eui piocuie a pro
fessional book and icpcat then suc
cess.
