Cabinet Clamps Down On Student Activities
Artists' Course
Plans To Present
Opera October 9
For the first time in the history
of the College a full-fledged opera
company will appear on the cam
pus Friday, October 9 under the
sponsorship of the Artist' Course.
The company, made up chiefly
from personnel of the Metropoli
tan Opera Company, will present
Puccini's "La Boheme" in English.
A .30-piece orchestra, under the
direction of Giuseppe Bamboschek,
will accompany the production.
The plan for having the course
run this semester came yesterday
in a meeting of• the board. The de
cision was made after much delib
eration.
Dr. Carl E. Marquardt, commit
tee chairman, said !yesterday,
"With present unsettled conditions,
theArtists' Course Committee
hesitated at first in recommend
ing to the President that the course
be continued. However, the sub
scribers voted practically- unani
mously in favor of its continuance
and with curtailed transportation
facilities, it seemed even more
logical than heretofore, to bring
cultural experiences such as con
certs to State College, rather than
assume that our clientele go else
where for them.
"Furthermore, with the acceler
ation of the acadeinic program the
committee believed it is all the
more desirable to provide an at
traction in the Fall semester, so
that the considerable number
graduating in January would not
be deprived of a privilege which
their predecessors have had now
for many years."
Plans for the Spring semester
Artists' Course are still under con
sideration. Dr. Marquardt said
yesterday that program will prob
ably consist of three numbers.
Seats for the operatic perform
ance will be sold on a single-num
ber seat basis. •Details of the
ticket sale will be announced, at an
early date.
Warneke To Take Job
As Instructor Affer
Shrine Is Completed
(Following completion of the
Lion Shrine within three weeks,
Heinz Warneke, its sculptor, will
take up duties as instructor of
sculpture in the Corcoran Galler
ies in Washington, D. C.
Occupied within the last few
days with landscaping around the
shrine, Mr. Warneke has been un
able to proceed with his final
work on the lion itself. He will
start today on work with lighting
effects.
This task will require his work
ing at night with artificial light
and early mornng and evening to
get proper highlight effects for any
kind of lighting which may be de
sired.
Completion of the shrine . is as
sured before the first home foot
ball game with Bucknell, October
3. Dedication ceremonies are be
ing planned for Alumni Homecom
ing weekend by the . Alumni Asso
ciation.
The landscaping work being
dohe around the shrine will make
it possible to hold rallies and pep
meetings in that section of the
campus rather than in Jordan Fer
tility Plots, their former site.

Owner Renames Car
'Salvage Wagon;'
Saves It From Pile
By SEYMOUR ROSENBERG
-"epiderrn.isf:Wagon;u- own—
ed by one of the fraters, will
heretofore be known as the
"salvage wagon," it was reported
last night.
The reason the '35 Ford sedan
has assumed the new name is that
it was almost contributed to State
College's salvage drive. Its own
er had to use a lot of persuasion
and even had to go so far as to
sign an affadavit to save his car
from the scrap pile.
Friends of the owner decided
to play a practical joke on him,
knowing that he had left the
"salvage wagon" on W. College
avenue after running out of. gas.
Along about 1:30 a. m. yester
day morning, when the borough
of State College was asleep, the
vandals, four Pi Kappa Phis,' pro
ceeded to where the car was
standing and, with much groan
ing and pushing, rolled the car
down to the scrap pile on Co-op
corner. With the permission of
local salvage drive authorities,
they were allowed to move the
