Tnvlor '3l TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 1933 IN MANY ARTICLES on college students and life the metropolitan press betrays too obviously to those actually knowing the conditions that “filler” is being run in the form of material that ranges on every con ceivable topic from mental attitude to physical propor tions With opinions swinging from one extreme to the other, deans, professors, polls and whatnot daily appear. The colbge woman has marriage as her sole objective one day and, behold, on the following the career looms all-important on the co-ed horizon. Colleges as cess pools of sin, students as ignorant drunkards, coljege poli tics as the basest of petty manocuvering—all these and other beautiful pictures are drawn in the printed form for the delectation of the reader. For the sake of fair ness it must be said that not everything, not oven the majority of articles, portrays colleges in the wrong light. It does become discouraging, nevertheless, to read those accounts that are far from the true picture, minority though they may be in. COLLEGE AUDIENCES will be treated again this week to several outstanding lecture programs and en tertainments. Coming here to discuss the Polish Cor ridor problem, highly interesting to students who make serious efforts to acquire more than a cursory knowledge of facts or the mastery of a technique, Sir Herbert Ames will hold the center of attraction. Professor Baker, con- cluding the Liberal Arts series, has in’ his subject of "This Talking World” struck the keynote of g semester that has been crowded with speeches. The Priestley, lec tures commemorating tho well-known figure of the chem ical world, also demands the attention of the college community while interest is at a pitch to learn of the “Roasting” that will take place tonight when Sigma Delta Chi inaugurates its Gridiron Banquet for which high hopes are expressed as a function that will be con tinued annually. PETTY PILFERING goes on and on. Although individuals feel the results of the light-fingered gentry most acutely for the moment, the permanent loss that is facing the library is even more serious. By no means a recent problem nor one that can be laid at the feet of depression or prohibition, this failure of some students to appreciate tho harm done by removing valuable refer ence works from the library is one thut must be dealt with severely. A few horrible examples seem the only method for tackling this problem where it is so difficult to detect all those that are hampering the efficiency and services of the library. TIIE CONTROVERSY over whether or not the side shows of college life hove a value that merits their suf frage on the campus or not is still raging. In choosing between activities and class room instruction, alumni wisely selected the latter but at the same time favorS'd a happy medium of the two. To some students activities are decidedly harmful. Participation is an individual problem. Decision must be made whether more than the primary objective of a college education can be secured. Something can bo gained from activities if they can be, easily carried in addition to curricular work. .But other wise they can obscure the real values and purposes in seeking higher education. AFTER MANY YEARS of inadequate means of escape from 1 women’s fraternity houses in case fire broke out, escapes that extend to the ground were recently added, insuring those living in the dormitories safety from fire, but only adding an entry for prowlers, particularly at those houses removed from the center of campus. As conditions now are several of the houses' have reported disturbances lately by prowlers at night,'that has caused the women students much fright. At the time of the erection of these fire escapes, campus police objected to them as they foresaw this possibility and knew that their budget would not permit the enlargement of the night force to deal adequately with this trouble. As there are only three police on the pfesent night squad and since one of these can not be spared from his regular beat to remain near the rather isolated houses, the Col lege should either provide for the enlargement of the night force or should change the type of fire escapes to those that swing from the second story to . the ground when descending, doing away with the present easy means of access to the buildings. We were wandering by the English Comp, build ing recently wondering how anyone could possibly mistake the place for the Kappa House, when we were startled by a string of choice, well-rounded expletives which came floating out the window to our tender ears. Naturally we paused, and went up to said window hoping to discover the source of such mastery of language. Inside, seated at a desk,- his shirt dis arranged, hair.tousled, and general attitude one of disgust was. a gentleman whom we recognized as Kirby. Ho dropped the paper he was reading on the desk, cussed fervently once more, and went out the door; whereupon we climbed in the window, grabbed the paper and left. ALFRED W. HESSE JR.

Question: Associate Main Street with some movement in Only Yesterday (Revolt of the High brows). Answer: Sinclair Lewis, Main Street, was the same in regard to the way men married but did no care for their’wifes,*so they went with another women, but they did not get a divorce because it might break up their’ family, So ; he went with this women and kept her, but privately.

Muhlon Heist Arlene Holmes Helen Taylor Joe Benevente Bertram Rosenthal Josephine Dunn Mniynrct GHTin Mighty well swelled up with pride were we to see how bright and fin ished the Thespian show appeared Sat. night. A young woman from N. Y. city sat beside us and marveled; simply marveled. ‘Yes, and they wrote the dialog, the music, the lyrics and everything right here at Penn State. All Penn State students,' we .gloated to her. Penn State can show ’em, by cracky, we told her.' , So it . was practically ~a personal .affront when we finally apprehended that the only .lesson the, Thespians learned from last season was to keep their mouths shut this time. How. ever, it’s their own bed of litigation if they want to—take a chance. Humpty-dumpty, you know. Probably we have gone stale on •this originality business and ought to stop harping on it. But we sort of hate to give up our little fancy that there are persons right here in State College who can write a show worth hauling out the Thespian drapes. Any way, we’re sore about it. ; To Plan .Program We don’t want to give the idea that it wasn’t a good show. It was. There were splendid dance numbers by the ensemble, a couple excellent special ties, four or five outstanding indiv idual performances, good tunes, and some swell scenery (the King Cole traveler). The little Taylor i. e. the sister, looked like a natural, singing daintily, acting piquantly, and dancing so that, we noticed only what we were sup posed to. Excellent, we thought, a hit, and a good teammate for Ed wards in future productions (which we hope will be written locally). Edwards and Maimed (Dialogue by’) did what we consider a good comedy job, but turned up after the show with hands red from handling rusty jokes. Edwards has developed a surprisingly funny comedy technic and Maimed worked his tried and trus ty style to full advantage. D. Johnston was especially impressive in the Mother Goose number, but a bit stat uesque for some of the vulgarity of her speeches. We’ll always listen to her sing, though. G. Baer and Vance paired together in appearance, dancing, and voice as well- as any duo of juvenile leads we’ve seen in Thespian shows. She took her numbers with professional ease and knowledge. We went hot and cold on the ‘Hot and Cold’ num ber, even though she is not exactly a singer. Vance’s singing is pleasant, his dancing smooth, his presence not quite easy. FOOTLIGHTS THE CAST We have portraits of George Jean The Corner unusual Nathan framed in a brass knocker without symbolic significance to award to Sock Kennedy for a real set of chorus routines. H. Porterfield (who is not a student) for scene painting, the three in' the Mother Goose number, Vial- and ' Rhein for costumes which really fitted, S. Por terfield and F. Turner for just being there in the chorus, the four trumpets for sticking together, and the stage crew for heroic' GREEN ROOM OPPOSITE FRONT CAMPUS , • . - HoMrlo4va?B o©Mfitf #!
