Artists' Course Series Presents Swarfhout At Final Spring Concert Third and final concert artist to appear on Penn State’s spring art ists’ course will be Gladys Swarth out, noted mezzo-soprano of radio, screen and stage fame. Miss Swarthout will give 1161-1 performance in Schwab Auditor ium, 8 p.m. Tuesday. She was orig inally scheduled for Monday, but it was believed that she could not make the trip to State College in time for the concert and a post ponement until Tuesday was made to 'assure her appearance. Like the other two major artists on this season’s course, Miss Swarthout was a child prodigy. At 13 she pretended to be 19 and ob tained a position in a Kansas City choir. Her sincerity so impressed her wealthy family that the financ ing of her career from that point on was never much of a problem. As an opera prima donna Miss Swarthout not only occupies an important place at the Metropoli tan, but has also participated in the Chicago and St. Louis opera seasons. Last season she made five ap pearances in the title role of “Car men,” adding to the laurels al ready won in “Mignon,” “Norma,” “Sadko,” “Forza del Destino,” “Peter Ibbetson,” “Tales of Hoff man,” and “La Gioconda.” In concert ,too, this gifted singer enjoys a tremendous popularity, and each season fills as many re cital engagements as her other ac tivities permit. She has made five sound films and has been a fea tured radio artist on many impor tant coast-to-coast programs. Included among the 19 fraterni ties that have offered their facili ties to the Army are the follow ing: ACACIA ALPHA CHI RHO ALPHA GAMMA RHO ALPHA KAPPA PI ALPHA TAU OMEGA ALPHA SIGMA PHI CHI PHI DELTA SIGMA PHI DELTA TAU DELTA DELTA UPSILON KAPPA DELTA RHO LAMBDA CHI ALPHA PHI EPSILON PI PHI KAPPA TAU PHI KAPPA ALPHA PI KAPPA PHI SIGMA PHI SIGMA THETA KAPPA PHI THETA XI Asked about the housing, feed ing, and instruction of the Army men, Dr. Hetzel said, “It is possi ble that this number (1267) will be materially increased. The War De partment is now urging College officials to take' additional num bers at the earliest possible date.” President Hetzel continued, “1 am pleased with the response that the fraternities are making in of fering their houses for the use of service men who are being sent to the College for training. Nineteen have already agreed to cooperate and I am assured by many others that they will participate. I real ize that this involves a large mea sure of sacrifice on their part. Their cooperation is essential, however, if the College is to do its full share in this period of nation al emergency.
