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. The next bozo that
comes up to us and savs, “Ain’t this some day ! llow
about a couple of sets of tennis 7 ” we’ie going to
smack light across the phy>iognoniv with a spiay of
trailing mbutus Natuie’s all right in its place,
but when we got eleven back lepoits to do and seven
finals staling us in the face we don’t have no time to
go out lucking dandelions If you wanta know some
thing. vve soita used mu influence to nnnnge that
cloudhuist jcxteiday Now we’ie warning you.
Don't go to class without yom shekel foi we’ve got
some tint on the boiough weatheiman vve piomiscd
to spill, if he doesn’t fix us up with a fust class
equinoctial “tonn Hole's to Tupe Pluvius; Long
may he min'
We got ahold of a Faculty Bulletin last nite, just
to see if theio was any good dnt foi this colyum,
but theie wasn’t Nothing of note, in fact, except a
statement that “tho Penn State Thespians will piesent
lit vly rind Tilth/ an oi igmal musical comedy ” Hmm

Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and milk or cream.
Delicious—and so easy to digest you’ll sleep
like a million dollars.
Dietitians say that crisp cereals are. just
the. treat for a late snack. So much better
than hot, heavy foods. So remember
Kellogg’s when you drop in at the campus
restaurant around bedtime. Extra delicious
with sliced bananas.
