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.

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.
