AGAIN—HGW ABOUT
MURALS?
LEWIS MUMFORD’S letter, published on page l of
the Collegian today, suggests the kind of acclaim that
Henrv Vanillin Poor’s murals would bring to the Col
lege. Poor lias signified his willingness to do murals in
Old Main. The administration, although rather quiet,
has seemed agreeable to the proposal. We have the in
gredients—artist,, subject matter,-walls —for a magnifi
cent work of art. We can be the first collegiate insti
tution in the country to possess murals by an Amer
ican horn artist of Poor’s standing.
There seems to be no doubt, about the suitability of
nurals in Old -Main us a class memorial. A fresco
lone by an expert craftsman such as s Poor would last
is long as the walls of the building stand.
Murals would add to the ultimate value of Old'Main
»s a structure in two fundamental ways. First, there
s the esthetic elfect—the harmonising of the qualities
*f color and design with the architecture results in an
•nrirhed ensemble, in that correlation of the arts #thnt
irn.h.ced.the finest buildings of all time. (
Second, and most important in this instance, is the
nimaiip/ing of the building through pictures. Relatively
ew people have trained perceptions for the npprecin
ion of pure architecture. Pictures speak to them more
Erectly, especially pictures of things familiar and im
jorLant to them. Hence, pictured walls speak to a wider
.udic-nce than do blank ones.
The presence of murals in Old Main would subtly
ml positively add to the cultural education of the stu-
Icnt.s. Ima -more material way, the privilege of wit
icssiag a first-class muralist at work would he an edu
cation in itself. Considering the many students tuk
ng courses in history and appreciation • of art, the
'alue of having at hand contemporary mural painting
vnrthy of discussion in the course is obvious.
There have hecn some very worthwhile proposals
nade, but of all mentioned, murals fit in as being the
nost suitable class memorial.
Waxing practical, future classes will not'be obligat
d to follow suit in order to complete the project.
The administration will not have to “chip in,” some
hing which has become a habit recently.
And then Henry Varnum Poor is offering the Coi-
gn a bargain.
Let's jump at it.—A. G. M.
IN COMMON CAUSE
WAR RACKS in the Far East today.
Over, JIO.OOO students, innocent victims of that war,

There, taxed to its capacity, handicapped hy lack of
unds, lies Lingnan University, for more than a quav
er century the tradition-steeped ward of‘Penn State
-allege, striving to alleviate the destitution precipitnt
d hy the war.
For more than a quarter century, Lingnan Untver
ily ha* maintained an intimate relationship with Penn
Hate, a relationship made more real by the mutual ex
harige of students that has been furthered during re
mit years.
Today Lingnan University asks for aid. It asks for
ddilional funds to help combat the destitution that
angs over China like a black crepe, threatening to wipe
lit Chinese culture ami Chinese thought through the
in taiiment of Chinese education.
Race, nationality, religion—these are forgotten as
Lingnan and scores of other schools which have been
fortunate enough to escape the ravages of war strug
gle let accomodate the thousands upon thousands of
refugees.
Tims it is in common cause that Penn State joins the
astern Student Emergency Fund drive today.

Profession:
College men and women in doubt of the age of
consent in our 48 states 'will welcome Dr. Kingsley
Davis’ disclosure in his Family Course of the source
of this information. He refers them to an article in a
recent issue of “For Men Only.”
In a Com. GO recitation’ the other day, “When I Was
in China,” Van Zamlt explained the conversion of
iron ore into molten metal and the formation of pigs.
In answer to’ his question, “Then what do they do
with the pigs?" A male vaice answered. “They send
them to Penn State.”
And Maniac hears that the Block and Bridle Club’s
Little International show features two events for co
eds only—A milking contest and pig racing.

‘Pride, Prejudice’
Famous Satire. Comedy To Be
Staged As Mothers' Day
Offering, May (>, 7
“Theatrical enchantment came last
night to Forty-Fifth street. Helen
Jerome’s play, ‘Of Pride and Preju
dice,” is a Broadway mi rack—easy
going. elegant, and infinitely engag
ing—it’s true Jane Austen”—New
York World Telegram.
“Full of salty lines. Helen Jerome’s
dramatization of ‘Of Pride and Preju
dice’ is shimmering, and decorous sa
tire’’ —New York Times.
Thus leading' metropolitan critics
•;um up the tale.of “Pride and Preju
dice,” M’others Day offering of the
Penn State Players which wSU be
.-taged By a east of 25 in Schwab au
ditorium May 6 and 7.
The original version, not published
until after Jane Austen was dead, is
now considered one of the most fin
shed social satires in English fiction.
Austen enjoyed the spectacle of men
and women making fools of them
selves and did not hesitate to trans
late'her joys into masterpieces.
“Of Pride and Prejudice.” set in a
Victorian background when a wom
an’s one possible career was matri
mony, concerns the untiring efforts
of Mrs. Bonnet (Natalie Schurman)
to "land" husbands for her three
daughters. Jane Bonnet (Shirley
Helms) falls for nobleman Bingley
(Joseph Dobbs) while her flighty sis
ter Lydia (Bernice Hunn) nabs a
certain suspicious Wickham (George
Bernstein). , 1
Elizabeth Bonnet (Ruth Shtasel),
however, rebels. §he refuses to marry
Collins (A! Tup man) whom she open
ly deplores while Darcy (Robert
Robinson) is her heart's aim. The
play is the story of -the duel between
Elizabeth and her prejudice and Dar
cy and his pride. They combine to:
give the play one of the tenderest of
romances.
Supplying a large part of the hu
mor will be Mr. Bonnet (Thomas
Francis), the tolerant, groaning, but
always lovable man of the house.
Haughty, ambitious Lady Catherine
De (Bourgh (Florence Marquavdt)
und green-eyed Miss Bingley (Ruth
Wagner), fulfill the* roles bf “vil
ainesses” as obstructions to the love
affairs of Jane and Elizabeth.
The undercurrent of satire and bit
ing wit of class against class, woman
against woman, prevail from the
opening curtain.
