Sludenls Need 1.5 Mark
In Junior, Senior Years
To Enter Grad School
Barely passing grades in the
junior and senior years will bar
a student's entrance into the
Graduate School at the College,
according to Dr. Carl Marquardt,
College examiner.
Dr. Marquardt stressed the 1.5
average requirement for the tw - u
final years, hoping that students
capable and desirous of doing
graduate study would make the
necessary effort.
Graduate schools of other uni
versities have comparable re
quirements, the examiner added,
some of them considering the en
tire undergraduate record.
Dr. Marquardt wanted to make
the prospective graduate student
conscious of the increasing im
portance of advanced degrees to
those seeking employment in
many industries.

Mother's 'Beat Whiteman'

A mother's love is a wonder

you.
He recalled, on his tour-day
visit to State College, how his
mother responded to his musical
ambitions when his little campus
Too Eager Audience
Crashes Waring
Rehearsal
Someone opened the doors of
Schwab Auditorium 40 minutes
too soon Tuesday morning, and
before they were closed, over 200
students had burst very noisily
into the middle of a Fred Waring
rehearsal.
After he had quieted his pre
maturely-arrived audience to
some degree, the celebrated Mr.
Waring spoke.
"Now that you're here, you're
welcome. But you've got to be
quiet while we rehearse."
Turning to his group, Waring
shouted some orders, raised his
hand, and the familiar theme
sounded.
From thit moment on, the old
building, which has been the
scene of untold number of musi
cal events, began to vibrate with
strains of "Peg 0' My Heart,"
"Ivy," "Linda," "Kate," "Ce
celia," and "Diane."
At 9:50, ten minutes before
broadcast time, Mr. Waring is
sued the order, "Let 'em in." The
rest is history.

band, "Banjazzatra," was getting
some attention.
Wondering how she felt about
fcrsaking engineering for a pos
sible career in music, he learned
one day when she called him to
her side and said:
"Go out and beat that Paul
Whiteman fellow."
Whiteman was then a house
hold word the nation over, Fred
said, adding dryly, "but he only
had a few years' start on us."
His mother was being serious,
though, Fred explained, and had
great confidence that her son
would one day become success
ful. She is in very poor health
now, Waring told friends. Be
tween broadcasts he commuted to
Tyrone to be with her as often as
he could. It was she and Dean
A. RI Warnock, he said, who en
couraged him.
Plays 'Marchetti'
On his broadcast from Schwab
Auditorium yesterday morning,
Fred said quietly to his Pennsyl
vanians: "Let's play `Marcheta'
for mother."
Previously, when Fred was
talking with a reporter after a
rehearsal, his brother Tom said,
"Hadn't we better be getting back
to Tyrone to see mother?"
The leader of the Pennsylvan
ians also told the story of how he
decided to go into music instead
of completing work for his degree
at Penn State.
He got the music bug bad, he
related, after his little campus
band had made a hit at the Uni
versity of Michigan Jay Hop. The
outfit, which had taken on the
name of Pennsylvanians for the
first time, was stuck in a little
side building to play for the over
flow dancers. A big name band
was the featured attraction.
Broadcast Offer
Word soon got around about the
little band with the singing ar
rangements and before long, the
story goes, the big band was being
pretty much ignored. There fol
lowed an offer to broadcast and
one to appear in vaudeville.
So Fred Waring, who started put
to become an architectural engi
neer, had an important decision to
make at the end of his second
year. He put the matter squarely
t o Dean Warnock.
Warnock encouraged him with
these words: "Since you like music
and have a talent for it, I'd say
you have a future in this work.
After all, part of the purpose of
college is to help you find what
you want t o do as a life's work.
Evidently, you've found It."
Those words, Waring affirmed,
started him on a career in con
cert, radio, and motion picture
work that has brought him great
fame.
"And," said Waring, "it was
just the advice I was hoping to
hear."
