PAGE TWO Pioneers Pioneers are by no means an extinct race; some of the hardiest are among us, providing nightly entertainment of the highest grade in the form of arena plays. Town and Nine Players has inaugu rated the first summer stock company in the com munity. A successful season will blaze a trail which could lead to a worthwhile summer tradi tion. Town and Nine (now 11) is undoubtedly the hardest working group on or off campus this sum mer, They do far more than present artistically directed plays with convincing acting. Their days, beginning at an ungodly hour, are filled with re hearsals, costume-making, prop-acquiring and ticket-vending. The group’s contributions to the College and the borough can neither be properly evaluated nor over-emphasized. The entertainment value for permanent and temporary residents is self-evident. The cultural leadership of State College in Central Pennsylvania will be enhanced. Many visitors will be attracted. Success or failure of the venture, and chances of its continuation by future graduating Players, de pends upon those who will benefit most those who should be patrons and play-goers. Remember that these hard-working actors are not strangers, but your friends, graduates of your College. You have laughed at and with them, cheered and jeered, sat in absorbed concentration or exploded boisterously. They have developed under your scrutiny from walk-ons to stardom. Now you may help launch their professional careers. Although they still have much to learn, some of them will go far. Best of all, you will see some good plays, plays you will never forget.

PENNSYLVANIA More on Dating Risk involving serious abuses of the IFC un chaperoned dating code guided the action of the director of summer sessions, the deans of men and women and their assistants in refusing the privi lege of unchaperoned dating in fraternity houses this summer. These abuses pertain to IFC code provisions limiting entertainment of women guests strictly to social rooms and prohibiting drinking when un chaperoned guests are present—in short mixed drinking and women in men’s rooms. It was felt by the committee that the risks in volved would harm the reputation of the College when so many teachers and principals were pres ent to observe what goes on. Furthermore the majority of women now here are not regular students, and fraternity officers and Interfratemity Council officers and members are generally not available as protection against abuses. Certainly such experienced administrators real ize that only a minority will consistently and de liberately violate the established moral code, and that they will do so in spite of, or perhaps because of, any restrictions and regulations. Then the vast majority those who would re spect the privilege, who would accept the respon sibility of self-discipline are the ones who are in effect deprived of a normal social outlet. Unfortunately, through no fault of their own (or of Summer Sessions officials) some people will not find the answer to their recreational wants in the planned program. Denied the use of their fratern ity lounges, they will go elsewhere, to places lack ing in social control, where they will be more liable to get into trouble. Perhaps during Post Session the situation will permit granting of the privilege. All IFC officers will then be enrolled, and a larger proportion of the fraternity residents will be regular members. There will also be fewer teachers and more regu lar coeds. Union Plans That perennial fondest dream of Penn Staters, students and alumni alike a permanent Student Union building has not been forgotten, in spite of a dearth of news about it recently. Quietly and efficiently the Student Union Com mittee has been making plans slowly but pains takingly. Its personnel includes ten members of the administration and three students. Samuel K. Hostetter, assistant to the president in charge of business and finance, is chairman. Possible services and functions of the Union are proposed by committee members or accepted from other students and alumni and members of the faculty and administration. Each item is carefully considered as to the existing need, feasibility,, duplication of effort, etc. Hopes of building the best Student Union in the country were enhanced by a recent tour of exist ing Unions on five Mid-West campuses. Weighing the advice received and avoiding the mistakes of those who have gone before, should lead to a Union of which we’ll all be proud. Although an actual building is a long way from even the ground-breaking stage, the meticulous ness of the basic planning is a sign that we will definitely have a permanent Student Union and that it will be the best one possible for Penn State.
