Ten Years Of Culture
Many persons who will continue to be in State
College next year, and for the duration, heard
•with some regret the announcement that the Ar
•fists’ Course, as such, will be discontinued for the
duration.
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?

First thing today we want to tell why is a col
umnist .... Collegian column? are the work of
individuals and as such do not express the opin
ions of the paper or the staff as a whole, but are
irather a commentary on the passing scene of
college life .... sometimes we may seem slightly
acid, but then we see so much raw stuff pulled'
that we can’t resist the temptation to tell about
it ... . therefore, when we sign our columns we
like them to remain as written except for edit
ing by the proper people, which includes only
the editor and advisor. ...
Pin Jobs
Johnny Pittenger, PiKA, gave his pin-to Marie
Lathrop last week, and we hear that Peggy North
up got married to a dream, as our operator ex
pressed it, and his name is John Childs of the
U. S. Army ....
Quarantine
• Sigma Nu's Bowery Ball, may come off this
weekend after alt for one of the boys is down
with the measles .... he walked into the dis
pensary Tuesday with a rash, when the
nurse asked him when he got them he said Sun
day, but I thought they were goose pimples and
didn’t bother about it ... . Thespians are,worried
about the morals of the place, which sounds odd
by itself, but hold on . . ; . what’s on their minds
is that they have a slightly risgay scene about
some WAACS undressing behind a tent along
with .a couple of cracks about “never having to
wear these things at Laurelton”
Reminiscing
From out of the dusty memories last week came
the real story, of-how Bob Herrman got his start
as Penn State’s (now)-leading trouper ... .seems
he had a line in one of the Thespian shows in.
which he was a bartender . . . ..a door opened arid
closed on one side of the room, and another did
the same on the other side pf the room .. .
Hen-man,. with a quick look across stage said,
“There goes Barney Ew.ell” . ... in his next one
he’s due to get- hit on the head. with a hammer
. . . . from the gossipers we heard that certain
hell-raisers were to he recommended to then*
draft boards for immediate induction . '. . .to
which one of the boys replies that he thought
service in the Army was a privilege rather than
a punishment No?
Truce
For the first time in the history of the College
and of the two rival publications, Froth and Col
legian staffs joined forces last night for a brawl
to end all ’brawls. Prime reason' for the party was
