The Coftdge Administration has often been accused of not attempting to make aiailable to students here the well-rounded and notable roster of speakers, the distin guished program of cultural activities whioh mark the curricula of other institu tions of higher learning throughout the country 'I he Collegian'neither affirms nor dis putes these allegations. What the Collegian wishes to point out, however, is that the yardstick of an insti tution’s cultural breadth is not wholly de pendent on the contracting of Nicholas Jiu. ray Butlers, Norman Thomas’s, or M A. Overstreets. Heie at Penn State it’s been the case of I Up hills further away looking a bit green ,-r. There are fine speakers among the State faculty, speakers whose wisdom and mter pie ations are born of an expert knowledge end hrofed experience ' Let’s hot drop the subject with “Well,, these guys may be all right, but really, they’j'c not krtown and distinguished and . . . wellv we hear ’em in class every day. don’t we?” ■ 1 lie Liberal Arts Lectui es have much to offer to this isolated college community. In more than one instance the speakers have national reputations in their respective fields. Any way you look at it: There’s gold in them thar Nittany hills - —E R. DUTV VERSUS COMMON SENSE THERE IS NO DOUBT that this year’s Artists’ Course is the most outstanding m he history of the College Enthusiasm for the renowned artists c osen to appear here mounts daily and the Artists’ Course Committee deserves the i ghesl. commendation upon the splendid execution of its duties , jipiyevfr, we can raise the question: Do 1 1 sl§fSti , fg~phd'-»wi)fi. , ithev.selgstipn and con- , iracling of peiformers? I Can no system be devised whereby sub serd’ers to llhe Course need not stand in line for four, five and si\ hours before the ticket office opens? Is there no possible rlan whereby tickets can be sold “on an cqu'tahlc basis to the campus and general public without the necessity of forming a queue of people?” It a few hundred persons are willing to lorsake “",000 man hours of sleep and'rest” to take advantage of a unique program of culture, cannot the Aitists’ Course Com mittee at least recognize this interest by opening the ticket office somewhat earlier, ■jv nevising some plan to eliminate what sureiy must be an antiquated piactice? Entertainment and cultm e become more c-moyable when a barbed wire ferice does not separate the audience from their gates. —E.R .THE WINTER SPORT season is just getting underway in Recreation Hall and with it comes the annual problem of smok ing in the Hall. Obviously it is detrimental to the par ticipating athletes. The majority of stu drnis realize this. Let, if nil ‘outsider chosen to smoke, students and faculty alike, say, • Shucks, if he smokes m here, so can I.” Such an attitude should not be assumed. On the contrary, every Penn Stater in the Hall should request such individuals to re frain from smoking. It’s a .very simple taskj but one which must .prevail from the beginning of" the OLD MANIA First Niff liters As emcee Buddy Yanofsy said Satidee mte, “If you like the new Drydock, then give Ed Hall and his assistants a big hand foi bringing it about” We’ie still applauding, for it was the real thing .
