; SQMJ: Finer THINGS
V,;ii'H TEE PUBLICITY guns of the Ar
l.scs' Course Committee exploding promp.
lioi.al propaganda onl the features of this
year s series, Penn State students will get
t..en; annul)) opportunity to soak up a bit
of cfiituie.
In flip gas!, many,students have been too
indifferent. concerning the Artists’ Course
i'rogrflni. tittle int.er.est 1 has been shown in
"thg, finer things in, life.” This year- four
< itstan.ijing; numbers are available and* in
terest is not running much higher than in
ihagasL.
7,'Jiis -season’s, program is the highest in
quilftty tor many years—a leading- male
choir; an.outstanding, dramatist, one’of the,
v diiVs foremost violinists, and one of the
greatest symphonic grpups m the United
Etaies'.
'iha names, appearing, on the program
alone should, be enough, to stimulate consid
erable interest among the student body.
Afsmbers of the Artists’Course Commit
tee, though desirous of gaining, student in
terest, 1 state that this year's series will be.
i imaneUi and cultural success regardless
of student, spirit towarrij it. But, they haye
jomted out, the opportunity is there for
student participation, if they so desire.
' The 'Coiplpitt_ce. has been doing, its best
to promote.the Course, explaining it and
clarifying its purposes, by sendjng speakers
to fraternities and*, other organized groups;
by providing a special window for student
ticket sales; by reserving half the tickets
in Schwab 1 Auditorium for student seekers
of-culture.
, ! All that remains is for the students to
join'the Committee m making one of Penn
State’s finest traditions a success from their
o'vn'standpoint
! COMPARING FIGURES of last year’s
Soph, Flop with those of the 1939 successful
Soph Hop is like putting Great Britian|s
war-debt beside that of Fmlandi
For the first time m the history, of the
dance, the figures failed to nose-dive into
the red.
Most interesting- sidelight on the affair
was the gamble assumed by the boys in
chgrge. The possibhty of, receiving any. com
pensation for, their efforts was sacrificed
pending the. financial outcome.
. WITH DEER SEASON under, way, stu
dents, wouldi do, well to, heedi the friendly,
warning against hunting on College proper
ty. Considerable damage may occur-to, ex
perimental, apparatus scattered" throughout
the. College farms if-careless hunters pre
vail.
A, -THRF.EJi'O.LD CHARITY' purpose is
dominating the, WSGA, GKrlstmas, driya
whioh, begins today. Not only, will the, Miff
lin, County Children’s Aid Society and the'
American, Womens Hospital, Association,
benefit,, but a> percentage will, go, into. Mrs.
Ralph p. Hetzel’s emergency fund for needy
students.
Every, Woman A Queen ... ,
Maybe it was just the weekend air or something,
but we found ourself in a dream that luned into
more or less of a nightmare at Soph Hop the other
night.
It alii started when Hal Kemp called upon the
two candidates for Haivest Queen to come up on
the band-stand and show themselves to the gaping
meb And we started thinking of the way queen
ships have developed since our fieshman yeai
This may betray our age, but we can lemember
the day when a May Queen reigned supreme ovei
Pnn State in the springtime The way things aie
now, students read of Sadie Magee ’4O being elect
ed May Queen, and stilling a yawn, they emit a
low “What, another 7 ” and turn to page 2 (Campu
sper, of course).
That dream, or nightmare, we were talking
about developed on just such a theme Wo started
thinking about what this queen business is getting
to be, with Harvest Queen, Miss Populuuty, Fiesh
man Queen, Miss Varsity, May Queen, Circus
Queen, HPQ, Quill Girl, and all the_rest
And'opr dazed mind easily filled! the gap to the
Penn Stqte of the future, with “eveiy woman a
queen!’ as its slpgan. Can’t you pictuie a Colleg
ian oft 1862 with headlines reading “Minnie Jones
Chqsen Queen of Mac 4th Center” oi “Mazie Mol
oculp Elected Queen of Soc 1, Quiz Section B 9”
We were trying to ciawf~undci the bandstand
and die when-they woke us up
State’s the only place we’vo seen
Where every weekend has its queen

Nip ftp Glyb Notes,:-
With, do?eps of. would r bp BMOC’s phoning for
f (■ next to the nickelodeon), the com
mittee in charge oft our,, new aoft dunk night* cluh
spent the week up,to its neck in name suggestions
One guy sent in these The Di unken Duck, The
Drunken Dunk, The Dunkm Dunk, The Dinikin
Drunk. The wiseacre signed himself as John Bai
leyqorn, and gave Seagrams 77 as his phone num
ber.
Others included’ Butt Inn, Society Club, The
Comer,, Rathskellax —and about a dozen wanted
the Icon's Den (with a baitendci named, Daniel)
The crowd at tomorrow night’s giand opening
pi onuses to be a capacity gathering, and the com
mittee has provided a big first night show’ that
should start things off with a hang Bud Yanofsky,
the actmg-singing-dancmg-piano-playing star of
Thesparns and Players, should fit into his MC
role in great style, w’hile the entertainment piovid
cd by Marce Stnnger and the Thiee Stooges is
'•onpething that almost every State student raves
about . so w'liy say moie 7
In case- you haven’t guessed by now, we’re in
favor, of this, soft drink'night club idea,and not
only wnsh it success but predict just that for it
Campy,
x And speaking of predictions, we batted 1,000 in
our crystal-gazing last week As we prognosticat
ed, State beat Pitt in a thi filing game, Soph Hop
W'entoyer with a BANG, the Blue Band out-pepped
Pitt’s voung army of; “musicians/’ and the bonfiie
was a spine-tingling affair that pinpused more of
the same in coming years
CaUing-Mr. H;al Kemp:
We’re certanly ashamed of vou, Mr Kemp, for
in your article m the last Froth, in cold black and
white, you said, “I have a lot of trouble with mv
feet, but specially built shoes and a smart pedi
atrist- keep me going ”
We’re a cross-word puzzles fan, Mr Kemp, so
you can’t fool us Pediatrirt means a’childien’s
doctor.
Hash.:
We hear Elsie Brockway, State College’s gift to
the Kappas ran off and got hitched to-other day to
«ome dtd or other . they’re all alike .
The deltachi caterer has finally found a use for
the elaborate lighting system that adorns then
diningroom . Finding the kitchen out of ketchup
m the middle of a weekend meal, he sent tn niav
onaisse and turned on the led lights
The sae’s have pledged Ben McKechnie . no
foolin' . .
