Alumna Sings
For Defense
Returning to Penn State cam
pus for her first professional ap
pearance since graduation, Bar
bara Troxell ’37, coloratura So
prano, assisted the Penn Stafte
Glee Club in a benefit concert in
Schwab Auditorium last night.
' Miss Troxell is now completing
advanced vocal studies under
Madam Schumann of Curtis In
stitute, Philadelphia. She will
graduate nexst month.
As a Penn State student, Miss
'Troxell was a member of the Col
lege choir, Girl’s Quartet, Louise
Homer Club, women’s music hon
torary, and Pi Lambda Theta, edu
cation honorary.
Included in the solo numbers
were “Pleurez! Pleurez, Mes
Yeux,” from Le Cid.' Massanet;
■“Tell Me O Blue, Blue Sky,” Ci
annini; “Little Brother’s Lullaby,”
Broeck; “Lilacs,” .Rachmaninnoff;
and “Song of the Open,” Frank
La Forge. Accompanied by the
Glee Club she sang “Romany
Life” by Victor Herbert. As an
encore she sang “Ah, Sweet Mys
tery of Life,” Herbert.
Proceeds of the concert will t»?
added to the American Red Cross
War fund. Fifteen per cent of
this amount will be used locally
for soldier correspondence land
transportation.
Lion Shrine

of 1940, presentees of the gift.
Instructions for preparing the
plot, unloading the stone block on
its arrival, and placing it on the
site which will become the artist’s
outdoor studio have been given
to Professor Helme, who has start
ed work on his part of the plan.
Near perfect timing is necessary
to cut the cost to a minimum be
cause of high wage rates of the
quarrymen who will block out
the stone. As soon as the mater
ia t for the shrine arrives, the full
size model, now on display in the
mezzanine lobby of Old Main,
will be moved to the spot and
everything matte ready for be
ginning work immediately.
The department of grounds and
buildings will have charge of pre
paring the plot of ground. Action
will be started on this first phase
of the work as soon as th'e snow
lias all gone from the ground.

Coeds Still Jump
At Sight Of Mice
Women will continue to stand on
chairs at the sight' of a mouse, ac
cording to a recent “Personal
Audit” survey conducted by Dr.
Clifford R. Adams and Dr. Wil
liam M. Lepley, professors of
psychology.
Given to 520 students from five
universities, the personality test
evaluated reactions to 50 situations
■that might cause fear.
Burglars and prowlers, walking
alone at night, and touching rats
and lizards frightened coeds. Oth
ers on their lists wei-e thunder and
lightening stoi-ms and looking at a
corpse. Women proved to be con
siderably more superstitious than
men.
Situations feared alike by men
and women included dying at a
young age, losing a sweetheart,
having friends lose confidence in
them and having friends learn
their worst faults.
Twenty-five of the situations
were feared more by coeds than
men, twenty-four were equally
frightening and one, loss of eye
sight, was feared more by men.
