State College, Pa., as Second-class Hatter TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1932 MORE DANCES, more coats stolen! The situa- tion , during houseparty reached a point where some thing must he done by fraternities to prevent the filch ing of everything from pocket-books to overcoats. Scarcely a single week-end goes by without some oc currence of this nature. Why could not several of the wall-flower freshmen run a semblance of a checking system? No doubt, departings would be slowed up a little but after all a coat on the back is worth two off the rack. TO THE THESPIANS, Players, and Glee Club one hearty hand-clasp for a production which, if not so professional and smoothly run-off, nevertheless was of, by, and for Penn State students and their guests. And while the mood is on us—to the Blue Band we offer praise for their representative exhibition between the halves of the gome. 'STUDENTS HAVE BEEN watching with interest the construction of a new gate on the Mall in front of the Home Economics building. It is the gift of the Class of 1925 as its share in the- Campus Beautiful' movement, and is financed on the residue from the damage fund of that graduating Class. Somehow, in our idealistic depths, we patiently await the day when a class will give, say, a fund for the .Library. It is hard to believe that honor and glory would accrue to the memory of a class from such a donation. People think in terms of pianos and arches and paths and buildings. It's all right. W;e’re not kicking. /After all,. a campus beautiful—what could be nicer? It’s just the idea of it all—forget we ever mentioned it. MRS. MARGARET SANGER will appear here next week in the first presentation of the Christian as sociation’s series of talks by prominent speakers. • Mrs. Sanger, known for her zealous pursuit of the gospel of birth control, will discuss “The Future of the American Family.” To those students who are touched to the quick.by'the scarcity of well-known lecturers on the campus, this offering must be cheering. Even more so is the prospect of having additional speakers later on in the year. THE CONSERVATISM of American students must send chills of disappointment up and down the spines of their foreign contemporaries who, from news paper reports, spend their time in bombing palaces, starting strikes, and brawling with the police. Cer tainly tho results of the presidential straw ballot among the students here seem to indicate that there is noth ing so-dear as the old order. Surprising, too, was the seriousness with which the students took part in the poll. It remained only for three faculty members to cast their ballots for Will Rogers and Ring Lardner in the first two positions. Pedantic humor, no doubt. IF THERE STILL are any members of the stu- dent body, or faculty, who are victims of campaign balderdash, Dr. Hasek’s opinion on the future of the depression as presented in this issue should come as an eye-opener. For weeks now the people have been plagued with promises and messages of fear for the economic stability of the country. It’s a great game, this one of fighting for the presidency—only to become the blame for all misfortune and, at the same time, the bringer of all good things. We wouldn’t trade you for the world, Mr. Hbosvelt. , THE RESOLUTION of Interfraternity Council to set the evening meal at six o’clock will have been in vain unless the representatives effect the change, in their houses. The fact that they approved the change, be cause of the advantages to the Intramural sports pro gram, is, indicative of their willingness to cooperate in making the change. Reports might well be in order. From everywhere come tales of beautiful house party queens, of revelry, of mirth, of flat tires, and chaperones. State College. People come. People go. Nothing ever happens. And all that in a deep voice like Grant taking Richmond. On with the dance! ALFRED - W. HESSE JR. M 3 Business Manager ROBERT M.

A salesman was purveying “Froth” (horrid word) hither and yon among the masses and in his rumblings was approach ed by a small, unkempt, old fellow with a black mus tache. He came up in his slouchy overcoat and.pulled over hat and handed his quarter, took his medicine, and went back to his seat in the stands like a good 'little boy. Ten minutes later, however, the old gent (returned to the salesman. Would he please take his magazine back? He didn’t want that one. He want ed one of those pictorials. You see He was Finey, the vice-chancellor of Sewaneo. He wanted one of those pictorials for when he went back home, he did. Wm. M. Stegmoier *34 313 Old Main We have it from one of the Campus Patrolmen that this was one of the best house-parties as far as cork-snifting was concerned. Are you listening, Mr. Volstead? By far not one of the stupidest fellows in this college is the assiduous student who brought his fair .date to class with him the morning after that long, drawn-out, formal affair Friday night. A cheerful little breath of springtime was this lady to the in structor as she chewed away on her gob of gum and scanned the morning paper. Ah well! There were more alumni in town this week-end than on Ed Hibshman’s Roman Holiday several weeks ago. 'Big shots, too. Now you take: Jack Page, Shorty Smart, Art Masters, Stew Townsend, not to mention the Cambridge quartet, Herbert, Herpel,* Shelley, and Rice. And look here, we’ve forgotten Sonny Heilman, Scotty Muir and so on,* far into the night. And here’s a chance for a “well-built young ath lete” to earn himself one grand and a trip to Holly wood—and not. by playing on the Pitt football team, either.

Usually we return from a student'stage, show with a program full of notes, but Saturday night didn’t seem to be the night for mak ing pencilled remembrances of this or that act. It’s pretty easy to please an au dience at houseparty time. Probably that’s the reason why the producers spent such a short time in rehearsal of the show. However, a little more time spent in. rehearsal of a few of the skits would have added not a little to the finished product. We liked the general scheme of the show. The first act, with the Corner as the scene, presented world's of possibilities for laughs and satire, and the production committee made a good job of it Act'two, which had the, Auditoriufn as its scene, was al most barren of entertainment pos sibilities, and only the grand finale, a cleverly executed combination of Players, Thespians, Glee Club, stage crew, and even a would-be, chapel speaker in action at the same .time, saved this section of the show. Some of the satire was too finely drawn to be appreciated, particularly by an audience composed in part of strangers to. the College personalities. This was especially true iri the skit entitled “The - Coachin’ Four,” which cast its darts at the football team. Trainer Charity, played by Paul Hirsch, and Doc, John Voorhees, were easily recognized, but the other mem bers of the skit weren’t abte to get their-impersonations across with any great degree of success. And it also seemed to us that the co.ed coach got a mite too technical in her advice to the football team. We liked Dot Johnston and her Glee Club of cellar diggers. John Bott, James Gross, Bob Smith and Wayne Varnum, as four live wire fraternity rushers, put over an entertaining “rush” of one. Zeke Schmaltz, a fresh man, played, by Burton Rowles, and Joe Lachman added his bit with clever impersonations. While we don’t as a rule care for accordion numbers,.

Maimed an<t the varsity quartet chimed in with skits that enlivened the first,act no end. The Glee Club and a dance number by “Sock” Kennedy and Grace Baer went a long way toward helping out that "Auditorium Blues” act, but the Players, didn't add much to the enter tainment.' Director Frank Neusbaum hurt, rather than aided, the Players’ part because his voice failed to reach the majority of the patrons. There was entirely too much atten tion paid to mechanics throughout the entire, second act. The device of the directors coming on stage was too evident m its purpose of introducing the groups. On the whole, though, the show was pretty good considering the amount of time spent on it. In their next combined entertainment the three groups would do well to stress again the local angle, which certainly makes up in ' originality what it lacks in polished presentation. And achieve ment of the latter is only a matter of more rehearsal.- • BEZDEK SPEAKS AT ALTOONA HIGH SCHOOL MASS MEETING Addressing-an'athletic mass meet ing, Director' Hugo Bezdek, of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, * spoke ' at Altoona high school last week.
