Open'House Program
“An old-fashioned county fair
will be the theme of the Old Main
Open House on Friday, June 12, if
plans made at a meeting of the
committee today can be carried
out,” Gerald B. Stein ’44, program
chairman, announced last night.
Present plans call for a pop
concert—a program of popular
concert tunes—on the terrace of
Old Main at 8 p. m., to start the
program. However, it may be im
possible to arrange for a band or
orchestra on such short notice.
Between 8 and 12 p. m. every
one is invited to take advantage
of the events on the program. For
the first time croquet, on the front
lawn, will be available to a limit
ed number of people.
A movie will be shown in the
Little Theatre, in the basement.
There will be social dancing and
square dancing and also conduct
ed tours through the office of the
president. The tower will be

Students will not be approached
for contributions because they
have already given more than

zoology and chairman of the drive
said. Those students, however,
who wish to give voluntary con

Coordinafor Conger
Invites Everyone
Play-night coordinator Ray M.
Conger, instructor of physical ed
ucation, announced last night that
plans 'to bring relaxation to Sum
mer semester students, who won’t
be going to camps and resorts,
have been completed for the first
play-night of the Summer, tomor
row.
From 8 to 12 p. m., everybody
is invited to come :to Rec Hall
and participate in their choice
of social dancing, court games,
shuffle-board, ping pong, card and
board games.
“If the demand is great
enough,” Conger added, “the cen
ter section of the gym will be
turned over to square dancing as
well as social dancing. Edward
H. Cubbon, physical education di
rector at California State Tea*h
ers college, will be in charge of
square dancing. George Donovan,
Student Union director, has pur
chased 50 new records which will
make their debut to Penn State
society tomorrow night when they
are used during the social dancing
program.
Edward M. Gales ’43, will sup
ervise play on the five badminton
courts. In charge of other court
games are Sydney Rudman ’43,
ping pong, and John Silan ’43, vol
leyball.
Coordinator Conger suggested
that gym shoes or snerkers would
be more convenient for students
and faculty who plan to make use
of court games. It is not com
pulsory- to wear them, however.
Play-nights are nothing new to
Penn Staters. Mr. Conger point
ed out that people who have come
to Summer school in previous
years were often able to take ad
vantage of similar programs
which were called “Fun Nights.”
A second play-night will be
held June 13. It is the hope of
the school of physical education
and athletics that the second one
will give freshmen a chamce to
get acquainted with the gym
equipment available for their
use, as well as furnish relaxation.
Sponsors of play-night are the
School of Physical Education and
Athletics, in cooperation with the
Penn State Club, Student Union,
Ima, WRA, WSGA, Panhel, PSCA,
and IFC.
