According to the pamphlet “Ten Years of the Artists’ Course,” distributed at the Swarthout concert, “the committee has decided with 'great reluctance that the difficulties which confront its continued operation on a soimd artistic basis would be well nigh insurmountable. The uncer tainties confronting the College community during the next few years, not to mention'-other prob lems incidental to the war, have made it seem jn. this case that caution would be the better •part of valor. “This is not a decision that the committee could make without weighing the contributions the •course has made this year and in other years to pleasurable living in our small self-contained •community. But it seems wiser, from the long term point of view, to ask our faithful patrons to join with Us for the duration in suspension of the series while their appetites for such refresh ment are keen. The alternative is to attempt a continuation of a project which seems foredoom ed to failure because of the anticipated but not wholly unpredictable in the enrollment ■of the student body.” • The Artists’ Course is a cultural asset to Penn State which had established itself as a tradition. Student demand for tickets several years ago was so. great, that lines for tickets started in the wee hours of the morning. It has only been dur ing the past two years that the new system, using priority numbers, has been used. Among America’s great symphonies, the Nation al Symphony Orchestra, The Cleveland Sym phony Orchestra, and the Rochester Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra have appeared at Penn rtate. 'Joseph Iturbi, Cornelia Otis Skinner, Paul Robeson, Jascha Heifetz, Lauritz Melchior, Fritz Kreisier, Marian Anderson,- Sergei, Rachmaninoff, 'and Gladys Swarthout are among the famous artists which have made appearances here. Many other can be mentioned, since the Ar tists’ Course committee has always strived to bring the. best talent and has kept close to the results of balloting of patrons. . _' Collegian can only say that, a great step was onade ten years ago when the series started, and it is regrettable, but wisest in' respect to the times,'that it be discontinued. ‘ Cruelty To Magazines How would you like to be .treated like-that? How would you like to be ; .kicked around and die an unnatural death? ' ~ That is what is happening to the ..newspapers .and magazines bought by ..the College for the two' Old Main lounges. .Magazines, particularly, are ■being , damaged either through careless use,-' or from too much handling. Since these two lounges are being used more and more eery day, it means that the. magazines will have to be handled more gently.'They have to last longer. . Extent of damage to the periodicals was so great last month, that All-College Cabinet seri 'ously considered allowing' the subscriptions to Van out. In order to have this service continued, Ooilegian asks that the magazines be read with out malice. .How would you like to be treated like that? Business Manager Philip P.
