Pa . as second-class matter. FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1931 ARTISTS WITHOUT AUDIENCES Whcthoi foi lack <>f cultmo m for lack of money, the Aitists’ Com so sponxoied bv the College is dangei ou«lv close to an abiupt tornunntton of its brief caicer Two \ents ago it had its beginning as a phoenix using from the fnnnoi Y. MCA enteitamment cnuise, which had met with fmime In its fu st stiugghng year the Aitists’ Course had a deficit of one-thnd of the total expenditures; this yeai it has doubled its pievious losses Seven or eight jeais ago. people say, the entcitain ment course was well attended, was not a distinct fin ancial loss, had celchi ities of merit on its piogrnm Has the College advanced so fai m ‘seven oi eight jeais that the need foi oultuial additions to loutinc are no Jcnger felt hv students and faculty 7 Thcio is more incentive foi a prosperous and popu lai Artists’ Couise now than befoie If asked whether they wanted the abandonment of the course, a laige majmity of those who fail to suppoit it would icply in the negative. It is to be hoped that none would utge its abolition except as a last icsoit Many, if ques tioned, would appiove the pioject, .vet thev icfuso to attend. Efforts to accommodate the course to all tastes have evidently proved unsatisfactoiy, jet many could not define the leason for this dissatisfaction. Theio arc a number of contnbutmg factors which nvght go to cause a maikcd decline m the success of the couise Pei haps, in aiming at populauzation, it has failed to please the cultuinllv eiitieal who look for gieatei figuies of the conceit stage, without gaining the v«te of those who admittedly know no distinction be ts oen the verv good and the mcdiocic Possibly too gieat stie.ss has been laid upon music, when othei enter tainment, smulai to that of foimci courses, would have been welcomed A ieversion to moic vauoty with emphasis upon qualitv at the expense of quantity might te a icniedy. Ceitainly some investigation of the continued lack of success should he enlightening, if Penn State wants its cultuie populaii7ed, the possibilities of meeting its taste without sinking to a level of mcdiociity are vari lus If a cuitailed Aitists’ Course stressing two oi tincc of the gieatest is denied, again the possi bilities aie gieat. Dicontmuancc of the com sc would imply too great a failing in cultural appiecmtion to be pleasant to the College foi long Despite the obvious benefits which could be pointed out foi a s.vstem of bell-imgmg which would announce the stmt of afternoon classes, no piowsion foi such a warning has been made Tardiness can boast at least ent* excuse when no definite signal sets the time foi classes. The elimination of this flaw m the use of the tenovated Old Mam should not piove difficult, and would be of definite value m establishing punctuality one step Further . In its vote against the continuance of sophomore custom* Tuesday night, Student Council justly lelegated to the discard anothei sot of mles which no longei ‘■eived appiopnately The icquiiement of sccond-yeai men to wear hats and coats as a means of distinction fiom uppeiclnssmen was obsolete. The now Council demonstrated a consciousness of its pm pose, that of expiessing the will of the student body, by starting its legislation with this enactment that followed the ic sults of a student referendum Gradually Penn State's student government Ins cast aside out-dated legulations. It has continued caie lully to seek a means of giving impoitance to lemnming tiaditions by paring away the needless and antiquated cut-giowths of conditions which no longer exist The present lationnl action of Council leads to one danger, hovvevci It would be easy to go one step furthei, and suggest the abandonment of customs entirely. With the breakdown of customs, it is natural that tlieic will be oxtiemists who would perveit the elimina tion of dead wood into the elimination of all customs. The mles for freshmen which leniain aie vain! mons mes, unencumbeiod by illogical by-pioducts. These unviving legulations, few in number, should bo en forced vigorously by Tnbunal with the coopeiation of tho thieo upper classes if the pm pose of Council in rtvismg customs is not to he defeated. Penn State students who haven’t chosen to support tho athletic teams heic m the past and gave as their U’ason the fact that the team wasn't up to its usual c.ilibie must he rathei at a loss now foi a non-attend ance excuse. Thiec or foui of the spnng spoits teams Urn. yoni are well up among the leaders m intoicollcgiatc competition and yet poor attendance nt the contests is more apparent than evci. Thcic must be some other remedy besides inising the .stnndaid of the teams. OLD MANIA Thcic was a Best Dressed Man contest some time hack, in which some guv* named SobelJcr or something wax elected the B. D M., and awaidcd a new suit of clothes. Anyone with half the intelligence of a elav pigeon could see that this is a cock-eyed arrange ment. You elect some Imd who is alleged to be the smoothest diossei in college, which (in this case, nny wa\) was the same thing as saving that he had a laigei waidrnhe than ninety-five peicent of tho stu dent bodv, ami then what do you do 7 Why \ou give him anothei suit of clothes. Hell fellas, thcie’s no point in that. But we woic never the soit which sits atound and makes nasty cineks without having a lenicdy in mind (Not veiy often, anyhow ) So we want to pioposo that next yeai the Penn Stnte r>olh a contest to decide who’s the Woist Dicsxed Man at Penn State. Winnei to icceive a whole new* outfit And if you boys and gills leally wanta make this place just one smoothv smoother, theie’s vour chance. Ileic this school is supposed to be a regular hot bed <>f agncultuial wisdom, with bains and stock pavilions all ovei the place and what does it amount to 7 Not a thing, pals, not a thing All these books and comscs on how* to inixe things aie just puic tiipe, like educational psychology, and me designed to get tho pom ng student so baffled that he thinks bo’s leally learning something As a mnttci of fact, theic’s nothing scientific about fanning, and don't let Dpan Watts tell you diffeient. All you have to do is dig a few holes in tho gtound, put a seed m each hole, and pretty soon !o & behold thcie’s a big mess of cabbages oi biocolh (we got that from the Thes pian show) oi sweet potatoes, depending on what kind of seeds you use Anyway, getting back to what we had in mind at first place—what docs the School of Agricultuie amount to 7 They can’t even glow glass on tho front campus. We'ie sick and tned of listening to all this hooey about beautiful Spnng weathei.
