Bargees Albert & Yost spoke 'Chisled Children' Maintain Schwab Attendance Who are the most faithful at tenders of events held in Schwab auditorium? Maybe you have guessed that they are the chiseled children of George Grey Barnard and can be seen any day or night in the lobby of %the auditorium often draped with various coats and jackets. George Grey Barnard is prob ably best known for his master ful sculptures in the Pennsylvania State Capitol. He was born in Bellefonte, in 1863, and died in 1938 after achieving world wide fame as a sculptor. One of the "children," called "The Hewer," is a replica of one of his most famous works, and was presented to the College at ' the June commencement of 1904, by Joseph M. Huston, architect for the State Capitol in Harris burg. The other life-sized statue, "A Kneeling Woman," is not as well known as "The Hewer," but is typical of Barnard's mastery. Michaelangelo did a total of 19 figures in his life. Barnard's plan for decorating the State Capitol alone called for 67.

Burgess Yogel indicated he would direct that suitable traffic provisions and police protection be provided for closing the block. The unofficial nature of Council's approval was necessary because such measures are among the du ties at the burgess, and outside Students To Inaugurate Weekly Dramatic Plays Weekly dramatic plays, produced and directed by a volunteer student "stock company," will make their bow before Penn State audiences beginning Tuesday afternoon. This innovation in College dramatics is the result of a month of planning on the part of Prof. Warren Smith, who is the faculty advisor and promoter of the idea, and seven interested students.

Correction It was incorrectly stated in yesterday's Collegian that try outs for all roles in the forth coming Thespian . production would be held in 200 Carnegie Hall, 7:30 p.m., today, tomor row and Friday. The tryouts at those speci fied times will be for vocalists only, said Lawrence Pinno, Thespian publicity manager. Enrollment 8681 With late registrants and grad uate students still enrolling, reg istration at the College for • the second semester totalled 8681 at noon today, W. S. Hoffman, dean of admissions and registrar, re ported. of Council's jurisdiction, E. L. Keller, president, explained. In another action by Council, an ordinance prohibiting minors from entering a taproom in the borough, and placing the burden of enforcement upon the police department, failed by a 4-1 mar gin on a motion to override Yo gel's veto of the measure. Council also heard complaints from over 40 residents, including some fraternity representatives, on the policy of strict enforce ment of the all-night parking or dinance during periods of no snow. The culmination of their plan ning and labors is the "Five O'Clock Theatre," dedicated to performing short plays, usually written by students in the play writing classes, before an expert mental audience. No Admission Charge The short skits will be staged in the Little Theater, 5 Old Main, at 5 p.m. every Tuesday after noon. There is no admission charge. Any interested student may attend. To prevent interference with eating hours at dormitories or fraternities, th e performances will last only 20 or 30 minutes. Purpose of the "Five O'Clock Theater," is to test before a live audience the experimental plays turned out by student writers. "For this purpose we do not necessarily need a large audience, but we do desire a discriminating audience that is interested in ex perimental dramatics," P r of. Smith said. The plays will be acted without settings, and with scripts in hand, by members of the volunteer group. No Dining Conflict The reason the odd hour was selected by the group was be cause the performances are of such short duration that they will not interfere with eating hours, and the facilities are al most perpetually in use during class and evening hours. Steve Perialas is director of the permanent company, and Walter Eckley is the manager. Members of the cast who will act out the plays are Shirley Betts, Francis Fatsie, Tim Hayes, Tom Lyon, and June Wiley. Permanent posters, placed at conspicuous locations around the campus will contain announce ments concerning the play to be produced the following Tuesday.
