PAGE TWO Let’s Raise the Money Ail-College Cabinet, in ils session Thursday ir.r,hit. readily endorsed the recommendation of ) .!i;;'enr Fulmer I hat renewed efforts toward '■•••.'ritual erection of a student -union building on e,minus be started at once. Sent to see what other schools were* doing in i egard to the problem, the local delegates to the i ecent convention of the Association of College Unions learned that the prevailing attitude of schools not having a union is, in effect, “Let’s raise the money now so that we can build later.” Which i cems like the thing to do. It would be selfish—if not impossible—to build now with the housing situation so criti cal. But why not. before the rather generally predicted recession strikes, raise the funds and let them accrue interest? Then, when the situ ation eases even though it be years from now. Stale can have its long-needed student union building. True, we may not then be here to enjoy it daily. JJut as alumni we will return occasionally to a dance, a ball game, class reunion or just to remi -tiisce. And unless there is a union we will be handicapped, as we are today, by lack of a suitable gathering place. • • Varsity Sweetheart Revue The fun-and-melody-packed Thespian Spring Revue played to full houses for its all-too-short run of three nights. The two acts were loaded with humor and song and left the audience chuckling and humming when the final curtain came down. Individual honors should go lo Adele "Yabbv" Yablon for her energetic, versatile performances of many roles throughout the evening. Virgil Neilly's performance opposite her in many of the scenes matched her verve and her hay-seediness or sophistication as the case happened to be. Henry Glass’ portrayal of sonic “people-we know-too-well-about-campus” was the peak of hilarity in Act I. Although his number was slightly long when the show opened, by Saturday night it had been revised to the most entertaining length.' One of the unfortunate occurrences in the first act was the male chorus’ number in the closing ccene. The cane dance is a good number when done by professionals, but its effectiveness is lost wlien not done with precision as was the unhappy case. The title of best comedian must be handed to •31m Ambandos for his side-splitting antics as the doctor in the Dispensai-y scene. Ambandos is one man who put his heart into his work, and the re sults justify all efforts. ■ The sparkling finale that included the Fertilizer Collegian Gazette <L- 1 Ail calendar items must be in the Daily Collegian office by 4:30 pjm. bn the day pre ceding publication...

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Currently holding up action by the Trustees is the faction v/ho want to combine a field house with the proposed student union in a venture which, it is estimated, would cost four million dollars, split approximately evenly be tween the two projects. The fund-raising experts of Ketchum & Co., however, after considering the situation, have con tended that, without the field house rider the two million dollars for a student union could be raised in six months. The. selling points of a union far exceed that of a field house in appealing to prospec tive contributors, according to the firm. Having had long experience in such work, they should know. This being the situation, why not concen trate our efforts on a seemingly attainable union building rather than remain stalemated • on a more ambitious program that seems out of grasp? That a field house is also needed, there is no denying. But with the student body ever growing, the need for a campus hub—the central meeting place of usefulness to all that is so necessary if a “better Penn State” is to be realized—seems more important. Ball and some chorus acrobatics brought the show to an entirely too early end. - As a whole ihe show was very fast-paced and bore the evidence of much hard work. Some of, the lines and scenes may have been a little weak, but they we re saved by such mo- ments as the Dispensary scene and Henry Glass' impressions. The sets and costumes were outstanding both in design and execution. The lighting was a little slow on black-outs when the show opened, but by Saturday the crew was contributing expertly to the success of “Varsity Sweetheart.” Make-up was rather gaudy and in some cases not too effective. Raymond Fortunato had some excellent tunes in “Varsity Sweetheart,” “Fertilizer Ball” and “In Front of Grahams” to mention only a few. The lyrics on some left something to be desired, how ever. Letters Equal Representation TO THE EDITOR: The introductory paragraph of the platform of the State Party declares that the party is formed on the principle of open and equal representation, of all college groups. Each fraterniiy and sorority which has af filiated is entitled to two votes on the floor of party meetings and only two. This feature can not be overemphasized in importance as it is a safeguard to prevent any particular group from becoming dominant in the affairs of the party through packing of the meetings. Independent groups may secure a voice, as they well have, by simply presenting a list of not less than' 15 prospective members and from this list selecting two voting representatives. The meeting held this past Sunday was proof that independent groups are well represented in all party affairs. Anyone may become a member of the party and have a voice in discussing the issues; but is limited in voting only through his chosen delegate. This method of allotting a voice and a vote has been carefully worked out in order to eliminate the disagreeable practice of a well disciplined but minority group seizing control and turning the party into a personal venture. It is a sincere effort on our part to make the party truly-the voice of the student body. Edit Shorts • Any students who might have planned on entering the CDT’s kite-flying tournament this Saturday are doomed to disappointment: The con test is limited to residents of the State College arid Bellefonte area. We do not feel that more than a handful of College students would have eritered the tournament, but it would have been a nice gesture on the part of the town to at least invite them. A town, by the v/ay, which shares half of our Artists’’ Course series seats, takes advantage of attending our athletic programs, hears our free Sunday concerts (despite the fact that there are only 1400 seats in Schwab auditorium) and uses the College owned Ski Lodge, to mention a few things we share with them. ® For our “embarrassing moments” or ,“Why retiring-politico- Al-Green-gets-grey-hair” files we have the following little item. It scorns crafty Green (rumored a relative of boss Joey Pew) oassc-d the word along to an under ling that Ihe rosier submitted to the election com mittee should contain as many names as possible. The eager young beaver called the Theta house and asked for a complete list of the sorority members. He got it—in the neck figuratively speaking, for the voice on the Theta end of the line was that of a member of the election committee who reported the violation to chairman Branigan. So it looks as though the Nittanv-Independent party will be starting with mirius votes against them. . Editorials and features iri The 'Collegian reflect the opinions of the writer.
