No More Sleepless Vigils
■Standing in line for hours from midnight to late
■ morning every year in order to pur chaise t'wo oi'
• three Artists’ Course tickets is ended. A priority
number system ihas taken care of that.
According to the present plans of the Artists’
Course Committee, the numbers will be available
for students at. the Athletic Association at 4 p. m.
Tuesday, December 2, ind for faculty and towns
people at 4 p, m. Wednesday, December 3. The
priority cards which will be distributed will in
clude a schedule for the holder to return the
next day and secure his ticket,
This plan may have its faults, but it also elim
inates some of the worries following the annual
congestion of students, faculty, and townspeople
in Old Main ou the morning that the, course
tickets were to ha sold. Every year, folding
chairs, blankets, thermos bottles, and milk con
tainers were brought, as Artists’ Course die-hards
camped on Old Main steps at midnight and stayed
there until the doors opened at 7 a. m.
Long lines weaving through the first floor
lounge, along the halls, and around the pillars
kept students from attending classes and frater
'nity freshmen from getting any sleep at all. The
new system will require those with cards to buy
Jr tickets at a specific hour and no other.
: However, we cannot expect this priority plan
to overcome sill the congestion or faults of the
present ticket selling system. Schwab Auditorium,
has only a limited number of seats for a student
’■body of 7,000 and those who come first, will be
served first.'
At least the ordeal of that annual sleepless
night of waiting outside Old Main for the doors
to open will no longer be borne by Artists' Course
patrons. They can sleep in comfort knowing that
their chances of getting a ticket .starts at 4 p. m„
instead of midnight.
Councils Take Stock
Considered the weak Sister of student govern
ment, school councils have revived their organi
sation's this year and are making a sincere at
tempt to foster student-faculty relations.
. Not only student-faculty relations have been,
increased, but an effort to solve school problems
and establish a center of activity within the
schools has been made. With the steady diver
sion of school functions from, College activities,
due to the widening scope of the College, school
councils can become more and more the centraliz
ing group and spokesmen of their particular
school.
Now, the councils are awakening to the fact
that they can become a strong medium of ex
pression. They see that through their schools
many individual and collective difficulties can
be ironed out, not only between student and fa
culty, but also between student.and student.
One example is the evident transformation of
the Liberal Arts Council, which heretofore had
been one of the weakest links within the council
system. Their investigation into the faculty ad
visors system, the sponsoring of better student
faculty relations, and the attempt to clear up the
crowded conditions in Sparks Building is to be
commended. ,
A fire which broke out iii Sparks Building
yesterday illustrated the need for better routing
of students through the building. With the order
ing of students to use the south entrance only as
an exit, the council eliminated a dangerous fire
hazard, that of crowded conditions in case of aln.
emergency.
We hope that the student body cooperates with
the council in attempting 1,0 observe this regula

Agriculture //> Defense
Results of agricultural research that, are good
in peace arc equally valuable in limes ot war
or in a national defense program. The defense
effort has been given quiet but notable support
from the beginning by The Pennsylvania State
College Agricultural Research Experiment Sta
tion.
Research is started at the Station, as a rule, in
response to demands originating among farmers
and processors of farm products of the state. Ad
visory committees serving without pay have been
set up in each branch of agriculture, such as
dairying, poultry husbandry, fruit growing, to
bacco culture, agricultural engineering, Livestock
farming, etc. Each of these groups meets an
nually with the members of the staff concerned
to discuss research in progress, and to.plan help
ful investigations. Advice offered by these
groups has proved invaluable in countless in
stances.
Continuation and enlargement of the present
long-time program of research at the Station was
recommended at a national defense conference
held at State College, March 14, 1941. Repre
sentatives of practically all the prominent farm
organizations and of the federal action agencies
operating in the state were present. Immediate
needs arising out of the defense program may
met by the service phase of work already
under way or completed, they agreed. Farm
groups were asked to report situations which
might be improved through the employment of
the facilities of the Experiment Station,
The list of instances where results of experi
ments conducted at the Station during the past
year or two have proved or promise to prove
immediately Invaluable might be extended almost
indefinitely. It should include mention of con
trol measures which have reduced dr image by
grape berry moth from almost half in some vine
yards to practically- nothing. Annual trials of
vegetable seeds prove the suitability of new
varieties before growers go to the trouble of
trying them out in extensive plantings,
Vitamin analyses indicate the importance of
B-l in the diets of soldiers. This and other
vitamins may even be considered implements of
warfare in times to come. Also tests of dura
bility and laundering qualities of cloth have set
up Standards of measurements which have at
tracted the attention of government purchasing
agents in outfitting the Army and Navy.
