Correction The lead paragraph in the ar ticle on living costs in Pollock :Circle published in Tuesday's ;"Daily Collegian" stated that the !Federal Public Housing Authority would not permit a decrease in rent for Pollock Circle dormi ' tories due to the rise in food prices. It should have said the Federal Public Housing Authority will not permit a decrease in rent of Pollock Circle dormitories, and the food costs in Centre County have risen approximately one third since May. Down in the dumps about what you've lost? Place a Collegian Classified at a small cost.

BELLE HOP WILL AT THE DANCE ! Fishburn Creates Routines For Eighty Man Blue Band By Jack Reen Eighty men lean forward in their seats as the man in the front of the room traces a complex pattern on a large blackboard. Is this a football coach explain ing a new play to his charges? Is it a corporation head explain- HUMMEL FISHBURN ing the rise and fall of sales to his stockholders? Fortunately for the Penn Staters who take pride in the Col lege Blue Band, it is neither. The scene described takes place early each week in 117 Carnegie Hall as Prof. Hummel Fishburn ex plains the half-time routine for each Saturday's football game. But the atmosphere at these sessions is just as tense and ex pectant as that of any conference of coach and players, for, in a sense, that is what it is. Since 1937, two years before he succeeded Major W. 0. Thomp son as Blue Band director, Pro fessor Fishburn has formulated the half-time routines that have made the organization so out standing. On an average, the job requires ANNUAL DANCE THIS 8:30 Informal Rec HaU Abmission from 20 minutes to 8 hours, but for one of. his routines, 1942's "A Day in the Life of a Soldier," Professor Fishburn left town, locked himself in a hotel room, and for two days worked out the action of the revue and arranged six compositions for the band, copying them all himself. "On Saturday," said the direc tor, "the Blue Band will present between halves a modernization of the 'Life of a Soldier' routine, picturing the daily activities of a soldier that has returned to college." Professor Fishburn added . that for the Syracuse routine, the main part of which was the spelling out of "Pennsylvania is a Great State," 96 charts were written. Eighty of these were individual instruction cards for the members of the band, and the remaining .16 were master sheets for sections of the band. On the field, Professor Fish burn is aided by Prof. James Dun lop, who also rehearses the or ganization instrumentaly, and Prof. Frank Gullo, who is in charge of the vocal work. Concerning the traditional fan fare that for the past ten years has preceded all half-time ac tivity Professor Fishburn said that it is a speeded-up rhythmic ally changed version of the open ing bars of the College Alma Mater. He conceived it as an at tempt to produce a fanfare that would mean something to the College. The band leader added that, ir his estimation, the two best drilled bands to appear at thr College in recent years are the West Virginia and Michigan Stab. groups.
