Glee Clubs Give New
Students Chance For
Active Participation
Possessing vocal and instrumental
organizations which’ Have attained fa
vorable recognition through eastern
intercollegiate musical circles, Penn
State affords students opportunity fox
varied extra-curricular activity in
musical endeavors.
Organized in 1902, the men’s vocal
group became affiliated with the In
tercollegiate Glee club in 1914 and
since that time has grown rapidly.
The Glee club won the championship
of the Pennsylvania association six
times in seven years, having lost to
Lafayette in 1929 by the narrow mar
gin of four-tenths of a point. In the
national tournament held at St.’ Louis
in 1931, the glcemen secured a third
place. Under the leadership of Rich
ard W. Grant, director of the depart
ment of music, the club consisted of
fifty students last year.
With try-outs taking part in a very
short time (follow the Collegian for
details) the men’s group affords an
opportunity for first-year men to take
part in the activity, from the begin
ning of their collegiate careers. In
last year’s organization there were
a good majority of freshmen and
sophomores. The opportunity for
freshman participation is quite strong.
In addition to the advantages of
training given to members of the Glee
club, the organization makes several
appearances before college and state
wide audiences. Competition in inter
collegiate tournaments'is. part of the
club’s season schedule.*'* , <
A Male Quartet' is chosen annually
from a competition of the upperclass
men. This group has attained popu
larity for its light, semi-popular, hu
morous type of singing. In addition
to supplementing the regular Glee
club "performances the quartet ap
pears at various campus entertain
ments. -Li-
Women have a similar opportunity
for vocal work in a Glee club and
quartet organized early in the semes
ter on a competitive-basis. Usually
consisting of fifty members, the wom
en’s group sponsors the production of
quality vocal music and makes at
least one public appearance, usually
in the form of a mid-winter concert.
A choir composed of members of the
men and women Glee clubs furnishes
the music for the chapel ex-

/ BclK / Campus Literary, Opinion
Magazine To Go on Sale Today
Following a tradition established
through thirteen years, the Bell, for
merly the Old Main Bell, campus lit
erary and opinion magazine, makes
its appearance today in the first is
sue of a quarterly series to be pub
lished throughout the year.
The campus . magazine represents
the better writing of the students
here, and has been adjudged the out
standing collegiate literary publica
tion in the East, both typographic
ally and editorially.
Because the magazine does not as
sume the usual “literary” tone adopt
ed by similar publications in some
colleges, it has always been popular
as a medium of literary expression
and the advancement of opinion. The
Bell especially favors campus contro
versial issues by student writers as
well as short stories and verse. New
contributors are welcomed.
With this issue, several notable
short stories are presented, repre
senting a literary excellence which is
to be found in few' colleges and uni
versities throughout the country.
“River Bank,” a story by Johnson
Brenneman, Collegian editor, is one
of the outstanding pieces .of writing
published in this locality in some
years. “Church Supper,” by Ted
Howe, a senior in the department of
journalism, is a skillful study in ado
lescent psychology, dealing with the
religious differences between two
The freshmen can participate in
band work which is confined to the
military organization for Monday af
ternoon reviews. First-year men are
selected by competition and are ex
cused from other R. 0. T. C. worlc.
Two nights during the week are set
aside for rehearsals. This freshman
group remains intact for the first two
years in College, but during their jun
ior and senior years they compete for
places in the famed Blue Band.
Consisting of seventy-five pieces the
Blue Band 'is the prominent musical
organization of the College. It ap
pears at all home football games and
makes several ol .those away from
home. It gives several concerts and
makes various .appearances at ath
letic events. Under the direction of
Bandmaster Wilfred 0. Thompson,
Blue Band is financed through grants
given by the athletic association, the
School of Physical Education, and the
department of military science and
tactics.

boys,
George Palmer's short story which
appeared in lost spring’s issue of the
Bell attracted so much favorable com
ment that the editors asked him for
another tale for the Fall issue. The
result is his “Day of Rest,” an ac
count of a New Yorker’s experience
with the relative from Punxsutaw
ney, done with a humorous touch that
made the success of Palmer’s fix‘st
story.
The lead-off article,. “Crisis in Col
lege Aid,” raises the question of con
tinued N.Y.A. relief, for the colleges.
The article points out that while the
National Youth Administration will
continue this year, its continuance is
not assured in future years. Is youth
aid going to be permanent? Is it a
political issue?
Subscriptions to the magazine will
be on sale during Freshman Week
and thereafter. Four issues are guar
anteed with delivery.'
