Glee Club Harmonizes
To Give Concert
On Corner
Passers-by in the downtown
area stopped in surprise Wednes
day night and remained to hear
something unusual in the way of
college spirit.
Penn State songs in four-part
harmony floated across College
avenue from a vantage point on
the campus opposite the Corner
Room.
The strains of "The Nittany
Lion," "Blue and White," and
other College favorites issued
from two dozen members of the
Penn State Glee Club who were
taking a break during the mak
ing of a record for broadcast dur
ing the forthcoming Pennsylva
nia Week.
As if four hours of rehearsal
and record- making weren't
enough .for one evening, the en
thusiastic harmonists began an
impromptu session on the side
walk outside the Corner Room.
At that point a borough police
man intervened, saying that he
didn't mind their singing—he was
outnumbered 30 to one—but that
they were blocking traffic. Un
daunted, the choristers moved to
campus territory and continued.
When the session finally broke
up, the cluster of spectators re
warded the singers with ap
plause.
Managers Wanted
All men interested in becom
ing assistant managers of
wrestling are to contact head
manager Jack Holmes, 4975.

open. Holmes said, and sopho
