THE WAR PROTEST
Tornorrow at 11 o'clock, the student body will have
an opportunity to show its determination not to par
ticipate in another imperialist war. In connection with
this strike, students here have an enormous responsi
bility on their hands.
In the first place, the stage has been set by a most
cooperative administration for as genuine and en
thusiastic demonstration as the students care to make
it. If anything constructive is to be done in making
protests from year to year, a solid foundation must be
laid this year. If the entire College turns out for the
mass meeting, and the administration realizes that the
protest is a sincere one, it should he much easier next
year to arrange something more pretentious.
It may be generally thought that college is a place
in which may be found liberal leaders of thought, but
the past week has shown that reactionists, too, have
their place on a college faculty.- There is the case of
one professor who attempted to extract a promise
from his class to make up the hour at 4 o'clock should
the demonstration he held. As a matter of fact, it ap
pears that there are several with the same calibre of
progressive thinking as was portrayed by the president
of San Jose College in the last issue of the COLLEGIAN.
There are a great many students in this institution
who are. genuinely interested in this problem of war,
but have very little information on the subject. They
will have their opportunity to broaden their outlook
at this time. It might be well, too, for some of the
more ardent militarists if they attended.
The majority of thinking undergraduates are sin
cere in their convictions not . to take part in another
war, which will be meaningless after US completion.
Tomorrow, they may express their sincerity. It would
be tragic if a great many did not. ,•
A SLIGHTLY JARRING note was struck in the
elections when the Chemistry and PhyBles School de-
clined to cooperate with the elections committee. It has
been a custom that if a voter has lost his matriculation
card, he may go to the Dean of his School and get a
note certifying that he is a student in good standing.
The move is an economic one, admittedly. It costs
fifty cents to get a duplicate card at the Registrar's
office. Evidently the Chemistry and Physics School is
not interested in the welfare of its constituents, because
yesterday they not only refused to issue one or two such
notes, but added sagely, "If it's worth fifty cents to the
Registrar, it ought to be worth fifty cents to us. How
ever, we won't do it." Close cooperation between ad
ministration officials and "student leaders" is such an
aid to understanding.
MUSICAL ADVERTISING
Penn State has the best college glee' club in Penn-
sylvania and has proven the fact so consistently dur-
ing the last five years that it was asked this year not
to enter the State contest. After intensive rehearsals
under Prof. Richard W. Grant, director of the depart
ment of music, the club won the Eastern Collegiate
Glee Club Contest-Festival on March 12. The unfor
tunate thing is that the organization has not been ex
tended a helping hand in the excellent bit of adver
tising for Penn State that it has been doing.
The Glee Club unlike athletic teams, the debating
squad, and other representatives of the College in the
public eye, is not subsidized either by the College itself
nor through the department of music budget. The cost
of the trip to Pittsburgh was earned by the club through
concerts. Recently the thirty-five members of the club
sang in Huntingdon where they built good will for Penn
State by singing for a concert there, proceeds of which
went for a loan fund for needy college students.
While the benefits derived by the individual mem
bers of the Club are more than enough to justify its
existence, it seems lamentable that the College cannot
take a sum from some other fund to be used to help
the Club finance trips to sing before high school audi
ences throughout the State, and place Penn State before
the eyes of thousands of prospective Penn State stu
dents who will be unable to attend Penn State Day.
Why not take, for example, a nickle per student
from the debating lee of fifty cents? This would
amount to .approximately $225 per year and' would be
ample to enable the Glee Club to make concert tours .
to the larger Pennsylvania high schools, when added to
the funds that the club would earn giving paid con
certs en route. Let's put our championship Glee Club
to work!
There was a gent in publications alley who in
fested the La Vie office for the past year and covered
its walls with meaningless messages initialed
W. Y. E. H. His name, in case you haven't guessed,
was Rambo. He was really a great little boy. Last
semester he had a little girl on the staff that he liked
pretty well. She was graduated at mid-semester, so
W. Y. E. R. bought her a swell A. 0. Pi ring on the
installment plan. As time went on he became pretty
jittery about how he was going to psy for the ring,
but, being a clever little boy, he figured out a way.
There was a sports editor who got hack a little late
and there was a managing editor who was a fairly
smart guy. It is pretty well known that W. Y. E. R.
doesn't hit it off well with brainy individuals. Any
how, he killed the two birds for the one stone by
utilizing a negligible clause in We constitution to
rob the two staff members of their cuts. The fact
that the managing editor needed his sixty bucks to
pay his fees didn't move the lordly W. Y. E. R.
He was for efficiency. Just to prove it, he is send
ing the departed lady all• of her cut .. . As we used
to scrawl on your lousy bulletin: Nutz to you,
W. Y. E. R.!
It seems as though the Players wanted some
rifles for a window display of "Peace On Earth" and
picked Kerm Gordon to approach the worthy Col.
Venable as to borrowing a few of the blunderbusses
in the Armory.
'Well,' said Col. Venable, 'there's an army regu
lation, ah, serial numbers and all, you know ... I'm
afraid it's impossible unless you get special permis
sion from the Custodian of Military Supplies.'
The way the Colonel talked, this functionary
was as'far removed as President Roosevelt, and of
about equal rank. Mr. Gordon hesitated about ask
ing. From the solemn title he thought he would be
tray colossal ignorance if ha admitted that he didn't
know whO the Custodian of Military Supplies was.
Could it be Gen. Pershing 7 Could it lie 'Col. Lind
bergh? Finally, he decided to give his all for the
Penn State Players.
'Err, who is the Custodian of Military Supplies?'
He noticed that he faltered a little as he inquired.
Col. Venable sighed wearily as if he were just
a bit disappointed, 'The Custodian of Military Sup
plies is S. K. Hostetter of the Grounds and Build
ings Department,' he said.
Sam, the old clothes man, recorded one of:the
fastest deals in his career at the A.T.O. house last ,
week. He ran upon the boys engaged' in a little
session with the pasteboards:
'Any old clothes?', he asked.- '
Without missing even one de'al, Geo. Slobinlian
slipped out of the suit he was wearing, passed it
over'to San'', grabbed the two bucks, and continued
his quest of straights, pairs, and flushes.
SHARDS—Anybody who doesn't 'turn out for the
Anti-War Strike is in a class with Burgess Leitzell,
the Old Soldier Who Never Died . .. that is, phys
ically . Nan Robinson cried all night because Bob
Hughes went away ... Helen Heinbach picked that
nasty Al Warehime for the Wissga Dance ... This is
our last night as a columnist and really has been
huge . . . we beat the Editor of this rag at ping
pong . . . one of our life-time ambitions . . . and
might we add that writing this thing made us pretty
cynical and unbelieving, but we still think Ruth the

worst she has to wait on ... See you in front of Old

To the Editor
The implication of Loyalist, in the
letter printed Thursday, that if one
opposes war One automatically be
comes a dirty Red ,is very interest
ing, but my purpose in writing is to
assure L. and his ilk that the Penn
State Players are producing "Peace
on Earth" because it .is a dramatic
ally stirring example of the modern
American social drama currently re
garded as the most promising and vi
tal force in the theatre today. It is
an experimental venture, offering new
problems in staging and acting, that
broadens their own scope as a •pro
ducing group •and gives local audi
ences their first glimpse into a 'new'
theatre. The Players, from a pro
fessional standpoint, share the senti
ment of the leading character in
"Peace On Earth" when he declares
that he "holds no brief for Commun
ism." Incidentally, the play was se-
