the romantic leads and bundling team,
the Penn State Players will present
"The Pursuit or Happiness" in the
auditorium tomorrow night at 8:30
o'clock.- . .
The play is being directed by Frank
S. Neusbaum, associate director of
the division of dramatics, and will be
a benefit performance for the Student
Loan Fund of the State College club
of the Penn State Alumnae. Arthur
C. Cloetirigh, director of the division
of dramatics, is staging the perform
ance' and Mrs. Merit Scott has de
signed the Colonial sets.
A hit on Broadway, "The Pursuit
of Happiness" aroused press contro
versies 'and Inspired historians' to in
vedtigate the factual background of
bundling. Published reports proved
that the Pennsylvania Dutch bundled
and that it was common in the terri
tory in sections around Williamsport..
Older denizens of _Kutztown tell sto
-1
ries of the use of gunnysacks in which
the bundlers were enclosed by the
young lady's Mother upon retiring.
The playwrights, Lawrence Lang
ncr and Amino Marshall Languor,
directors of the Theatre Guild in New
York, satirize American customs-and
inconsistencies in their play which
has captured the title "a truly Amer
ican comedy."
An all-girl pit orchestra
,selected
from.the Women's Symphony orches

Tschan Discusses
At Local Mee
Reporting on the national conven
tion of the American Association of
University Professors held. in St.
Louis, Dr. Francis J. Tschan, of the
department of history and political
science, told the local chapter of the
discussions held at the convention.
One of the highlights of the con
vention :was a discussion of the Pitt
blacklisting case in which reasons for
Ithe University or -,Pittsburgh being
placed on the Association's blacklist
were pointed out. The Association
I agreed that it was not interested' in
condemning Pitt as a University, but
,that it did condemn the nets' of the
present 'administration of that insti
' tutiori and in so: doing not only aims
to' benefit' the faculty of that school
abut also the cause of higher educa
tion there. as well as throughout the
entire country.
The convention also discussed "The
Effect of 'Oppression and Recovery on
Higher Education." In this - discus
fsion it was concluded that there was
evidence of a definite trend toward
the restoration of cut salaries but that
in other instances there was. great
danger in the possibility that their
restoration be postponed and become
the basis of new salaries.

Trustee Gives Books
William. L. Affeider, of Pittsburgh,
a trustee of the College, presented the
College library with a set of volumes
entiled "Proceedings of the Engi
neer's Society of Western Pennsylva
nia" Tuesday. The gift, one of the
most valuable received by the library
this year, consists- of volumes 30 to
48 inclusive with the exception - of
volume 32. These books contain the
history of the Society.
I and "New Moon." "Good News," in
cidentally, was the first Broadway
•
production in which Kennedy appear
ed. Dick Burger, MandePs produc
tion manager, will also assist in re
viewing the show.
Mandel and Burger will read the
script and score, Suggest changes, and
edit it for production. Their latest
hit, "May Wine," which opened in
Pittsburgh last 'fall, is now enjoying
a successful run on Broadway.
According to the authors,, the op
eretta will be based on the life of
Jim Fisk, one of the financial barons
of post-Civil War days and owner
the . old Metropolitan in New York.
To.quote Allen, "Fisk made Diamond
Jim Brady look like a piker." The
show will probably be in two acts
and ten scenes. Arrangements are
being node with a large costume
house in Philadelphia to supply the
150 costumes necessary to , give color
to the production.
Since the music will be used to de:
velop the plot of the show, most of
the score will not be written until
the plot is well outlined. "It will fol
low the new trend in musical shows
in that all songs will be an integral
part of the show and will help to de
velop the plot," 'Fishburn explains.
This type of planning has accounted
for the success o f such outstanding
productions 'as • "Jubilee" and "Rob
erta."
Artists' Course Committee Institutes
Deferred Payment Plan for Remaining
Series Tickets; 'Singers' Due Monday
London Singers to Open
Chanties, Classical Airs
At 8 O'clock.
Group to Present Sea
Series in Auditorium
A. group of four men under the di
yection of John Goss, billing them
selves "The London Singers," will ap
pear as the first number on the I.9aG
Artists' Course in Schwab auditorium
Monday night:at 8 o'clock. '
These five men, all one-time pro
fessional men, drawn together by
their love of music, agreed to give up
their. callings. and make music their
vocation. The organization toured
England and the Continent for sonic
-ten years before coming to America.
John Goss, however, hod already
made a name for himself here as a
covert' soloist.
Most aptly described as "unique,"
the group violates all of the common
ly recognized standards of concert
conduct. In the first place there is
very little formality. The singers
group themselves around a piano as
the occasion requires. Sometimes it
is a .duet, sometimes a trio or quar
tet, with one of the men doubling ut
the piano. The solos are sung by
John Coss himself, an artist of para
mount 'distinction, gifted with a fine
baritone voice.
American Debut in 1931
The London Singers gave their first
concert in this country in 1931, ac
quiring an immediate popularity. For
it was discovered that at one of their
concerts one had a grand time. Even
the serious-minded music-love; found
that it was not beneath his dignity to
smile. In fact, it is a question wheth
er anyone could sit through their ren
dering of Lillibnier.e,"- that. great
.ohl
anti-:Jacobite melody without giving
vent to quite audible mirth.
In some of their songs the singers
forsake the straight platform manner
and give their selections a comedy
relief.
Probably the 'most outstandingly
different portion of the Singers' re
' pertoire is their rendering of sea
chanties, tunes which the old time
sailors sang in unison as they worked
on the short or long hauls of the
ropes. Generally speaking, chanties
may be divided into three kinds, short
drags, halyard, and capstan chanties,
each kind covering certain tasks.
Fo'Cas'll Chanties Sung
Another variation of sea songs arc
the fo'cas'l songs which were sung
between 'watches, when the men
'gathered around the fo'cas'l to swap
yarns and smoke. It is this practic
ally neglected cross section of song
which the London Singers bring to
the campus Monday night.
Included on their program are such
gentle lyrics as Gricg's "Ich legtc
mich am Abend," and Schumann's
"Die Rose stand im Tau," and many
other gems from their classical re
pertoire. • Curiously beautiful and
priceless gems of Elizabethan madri
gals and folk songs, rounds, and
catches which made of early eigh
teenth century England the "nest of
singing birds."
Critics have received this group of
singers with almost. unanimous en
thusiasm. "Consummate art that nut
!only entertains, but leaves the im
print of its worth on the memory,"
wrote a critic in the Pittsburgh Press
in reviewing their program. "A
smashing hit," is what the Pittsburgh
Gazette calls them. Boston found .
"jolly entertainment." And New• York
considered that "an afternoon of the
London Singers was one of the most
diverting of the season."

Baum $4OO Claim
Interclass Budget To Fay Claims
For Damages; Dean Asks
Auto Investigation. -
Following the report of an inves
tigating committee composed of J.
Briggs Pruitt '36, Student Board
chairman, Levan Linton 'V, and
Fred L. Young. '3B, the Board at its
meeting Wednesday voted to pay the
claim for $4OO damages presented by
Afaurice Baum last week.
Baum is the owner of the barn
which was torn down by students'and
local youths at the bonfire on the eve
Rf Alumni .Day last fall. The coni
anittee .had.:haped to havesthe:clatiii
lowered, but investigation proved that
it would be cheaper to pay the sum
asked by Baum than to wait until
he started legal proceedings. The
sum, together with other claims
growing out of the bonfire, must come
out of the Interclass Finance budget.
To Investigate Student. Cars
At the request of Dean of Men Ar
thur R. War:tack, a committee was
appointed to investigate student own
ership of automobiles with the plan
of formulating a new rule to take
cure of this problem. At present - all
students who have cars here are sup
posed to have a permit from the
Dean of Men and permits are issued
'sly to those who have some legiti
nate reason.
There are now more cars owned by
:tudents than ever before, and the
fact that many are driving to nearby
towns 'over week-ends is •creating
problem that must be solved, Pruitt.
chairman of the investigating com
mittee, pointed out. The present rule
about permits'is not being enforced
and some new one will have to be
set up in its place, he said.
In order to discover local sentiment
upon this matter, Pruitt has request
ed that students write to the Colle
gian or communicate with member..
of the committee their viewpoints on
the mutter. The committee, in ad
dition to Pruitt. is made up of Lin
ton and George W. Raines '36.

PRICE FIVE CENTS
275 $5.00 Seats To Go
On Sale $2.00 Down
Balance Later.
All Cheaper Seats Sold
Out, Check-up Reveals
With all $3.75 and $2.50 seats sold
out and only 275 $5.00 seats remain
ing, the Artists Course committee de
cided this morning to bring the re
maining $5.00 tickets closer to the av
erage student anti faculty member who
found $5.00 too much to pay at once,
by introducing into the ticket sales a
deferred payment plan whereby stu
dents and faculty members might pay
$2.00 down and the balance of $3.00
by February 5.
It was pointed out by Dr. 31ar
amu•clt, Committee chairman, that the
$5.00 fee was keeping many students
Who were interested in buying .seats
for the series from completing their
purchases in time to see the first
number. After some discussion, there
fore, the Committee decided to re
duce the amount of the down pay
ment to $2.00 on the remaining tick
ets with the expectation of having
payments completed by February 5.
Since the CoMadaee had stated in
itially its intention to contact each
student in the College and to persuade .
him to buy a ticket, it was thought.
that every legitimate inducement
should be made to effect a sellout. Dr.
iltm•quardt, said the partial payment
plan was discussed as one of the most
effective means of bringing this about.
It was felt that a renewed appeal to
the. students should be made to take
up the remaining .series tickets on a
deferred payment plan rather than to
extend an appeal to out-of-towncrs,
the chairman continued. This was in
accord. with thtt:conunittee's previous
ly announced statement of policy
which characterized the course as a
desirable educational and cultural in
fluence in the life of the student, he
pointed out.
Under the new arrangement, Dr.
Marquardt said he could see no rea
ton why the students could not im
mediately take up the seats that re
main. By delaying a part of the pay
ment until after the first of the
month, it was thought that the stu
dent, especially, could plan: his finances
for the coming month in such a way
as to pay the $3.00 balance before
February 5.
It. was necessary to designate a
deadline fur deferred payments in or
der that the: committee might still
have another opportunity to sell the
unused portion of the series which
certain students,
_after making their
initial payment of $2.00 might not
care tic take up.
The window at the Athletic Asso
ciation wi:l be open all day today to
accept applications on a cash or de
ferred plan, the chairman stated. In
applying for a ticket at the reduced
rate, if the student. elects the partial
payment plan. he will receive a ticket.
for the first number only, and the
rest of the series ticket will he held in
his name until he pays the balance
due.
If the balance remains unpaid af
ter February 5, Dr. 51m•yunrdt add
ed, the rest of the series ticket will
