This college lacks culture" But what happens when . , someone makes an effort to improve cultural conditions at Penn State? What happens to those students who In- sist that we neec7 murals but will not even turn out to view a worthwhile exhibition of paintings or etchings by some of the leading artists of the country? Is their cry that we 'need more "art on the campus" mere sham and an attempt to bluff people . Into believing that they ore more cultured than they actually are?
