With such meticulous piecision do they pa rade before gay gudiion fans Yet, this unerring group of musicians—after once consenting to participate in the All-College inauguration backed out 'They refused to march Not Individually, but as a group, the Blue Band did not see fit to engage in what actually turned out to be a successful parade Yet, it was an All-College piotession But, it was not the Blue Band leading—it was the State College Drum and Bugle Cotps, hned at the last minute aftei the nudnighl houi pnoi to the cei emonies revealed that membeis of the College Blue Bond had voted against rnai clung JUST WHAT weie the specific leasons for this organization’s decline 7 Thiee-fold they weie 1— Not sufficient time to notify the entne band 2 Some semoi member had to attend a music recital 3—Other membei s had foui o’clock classes , Absolutely none of these items can be used as definite giounds for fniluie to appeal m an All- College function—not the fiist tune, incidentally, tHat’ the boys have «teeied deal of such phtion /if the time element is to be taken into consid eration, the Collegian will verify Student Board's allegation that the band received ample notifica tion to contact all of its members Had that time not been sufficient and band officials had in. formed inauguration committee members of such, it.Wouid have been quite simple to provide pen ny postcards, even return postcards, to secure contacts. The telephone, too, might have come In, handy. And there was time to press any of these methods into service as the Blue Band, through its president, was requested to partici pate last Wednesday ■ .Now the lattei two points of excuse can be dis pensed readily by pointing out that all fout o'clock classes! throughout the College weie authonzed to be dismissed by the Council of Administration STUDENT BOARD theiefoie, ughtfully, and as'its last official act undei the foimei student government, slashed $2OO fiom the sum of $1,700 originally budgeted foi the Blue Band * Some may say that the Board was a bit ton harsh. Otheis will maintain that an even greater amount should have been deducted In any event, the band still has $1,500 —the same amount as last year and the amount which is duplicated bv the College The fact remains that the Blue Band, support ed by/ student funds to make three week-end trips during the football season, stay at first class hotels, and receive Higher meal allowances (all improvements during the past few years), did K not see fit to participate in the celebration of ah opening of a new era In Penn State student democracy. • Perhaps such action taken by the Student Board, will piove to the Blue Band that it is de pendent upon the student body It is not a self* supporting activity. HOW ABOUT THE STUDENTS? ON WEDNESDAY the fine arts division of the -department of aichitectuie will close the doois of fhe.. College Ait Galleiy foi the lest of the se mester.

The vauety was such as to please a cross section of true ait lovers ' But the student—the person for whom this* school was established—was neglected. The per son in whom thousands are interested was not given a chance to show what he could do .Perhaps it is not too late Perhaps a student exhibit could yet be arranged During houscpany week tend and commence ment the campus will be flooded with visitors who are Interested in what the student is doing Sight seeing groups will tour the campus from dairy barns to power piant 'Could one ask for a better time tff display stu dent works.
