TOGETHER WE STAND.
(Continued From Page 1)
aepaiated one fi om the other In foiwaidness 01 in
backwnidness, they move hand-in-hand
Now perhaps this attitude is nothing new 01
staitling But foi a faculty gioup to come out
frankly and forcefully and say in its veinypream
ble it believes this and accordingly will fight fos
this, then certainly it is something new and start
ling on this campus ,
And when this same group follows through and
outlines a specific piogiam of action that will
benefit the student body—a mogiam consisting of
10 majot points, some of which even our most effi
cient vote-getting student politicians have not yet
been able to propose—then it soars beyond dea
n iption
They propose, for instance, that since "by its
very nature the College atti acts many students of
limited means," every effort should be made to in
crease greatly the number of student scholarships
available They propose that fewer courses and
consequently more intensive work in each of them
would nuke for impio‘ement in scholastic achieve
ment They propose that an investigation of book
exchanges in the past be made to serve as a basis
foe se-establishing a workable evchange They pro
pose that mote doimitoites be built to alleviate
the anticipated acute housing conditions They
propose that an all-College lectuid program be in
oduced along lines minim to the Artists' Course
They propose that library facilities be unproved
and expanded ,
And for the faculty, they propose self-paying
campus opal tments to house the !umbel s of the
teaching stall They propose a hospital for State
College They propose a uniform promotion and
alaly system They propose to hoist up inadequate
seisms to a decent level They propose to fight
for removal of the present Belong]) t.i' system
v Inch, they say, unjustly disctimmates against'
members of the faculty
Thene arc but the highlights of a program
which knows no goal except that of promoting
the welfare of students and faculty - and College,
a program which I n itself reveals the for eslght,
the sincerity and the determination of its lead
dis to make Penn State a bigger and better
place to live In
As foi the students, the Collegian believes it is
entnely i 'gilt in saying that they .ue solidly behind
this movement
It is to be hoped, then, that the faculty membeii
--tegaidless of any personal ditlmences that may
exist—will have the courage to swing in just a,
solidly behind this movement, the coinage to show
their desne to help not only themsehes lint the
students as well
Such is the kind of faculty we need and want
CULTURAL CASTOR OIL?
CAN IT BE that students at Penn State ale
level Wig to the days when' the campus was a
mud-hole with one building stuck in the middle
of it?
Is the College becoming so slosenly in iegaid
to its seaich for cultuic—despite its i apid giouth
into a univeisity—that such a notable activity
as the Aitists' Course is slowly being abandoned
by a large majoiity of the students and faculty
membeis 9
It seems a desecration to the name of Penn
State to even think of such a thing, but what
else, can be concluded when it becomes ap
parent that the Artists' Course committee
must solicit ticket sales outside of State Col
lege, thus defeating its purpose as a campus
enterprise?
Now Schwab Auditoimm accommodates 1,400
Amnommately 7,000 students and 1,300, faculty
and administrative staff' members aie on the camp-
With the low puce at which season tickets ate
offeted foi the Artists' Course, the Collegian feels
that there must be some undeilying cause for the
lagging ticket sale
Perhaps it comes too close to big football week
ends and holiday seasons, but this difficulty would
be cancelled by the $1 deposit offer' made by the
committee last week
Perhaps the numbers me not suitable to the
majority of students and faculty members, yet
they were picked on the basis of a questionnaire
given to all Artists' Comae potions last year
Surely culture in the form of nationally-known
symphony orchestras, dance groups and singers
should not be a bitter dose to take It seems a
desirable antidote to the sometimes boring' rou
'tine of studies and the sometimes equally boring
experiences of somewhat jaded College entertain
ments. —P. S. H. Jr.
