'Goethe in Song'
When the Chapel Choir and the departments of
music and German present a recital of musical
compositions based on the poems of Johann Wolf
gang Goethe in Schwab Auditorium May 16, the
event will mark Centre County’s initial observ
ance of a movement of national and international
scope. The occasion for celebration is the 200th
anniversary of the birth of the immortal German
philosopher and author.
In addition to planning an International Goethe
Convocation, the University of Chicago has as
sembled the largest collection of Goetheana ever
brought together on this continent. The exhibit,
which is comprised of 230 items, includes material
brought to this country through the co-operation
of the University of Chicago stall at Frankfort, the
author’s home; the Department of State; and the
Library of Congress.
The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, under
the direction of Dimitri Mitropoulos, will perform
a series of ten concerts for the Goethe Music Fes
tival, sponsored by the Goethe Bicentennial Foun
dation in Aspen, Colorado.
What has attracted attention to the observance
more than anything else, perhaps, is the fact that
Dr. Albert Schweitzer, world-famous philosopher,
doctor, musician and author, is coming to the
United States from French Equatorial Africa this
summer for the first time to participate in the
Goethe Festival.
“Goethe in Song,” as the College’s own celebra
tion is called, will demonstrate the tremendous
effect the writer has had on the development of
music. Works to be included on the program in
clude selections by Beethoven, Schubert, Schu
mann, Wolf, Tchaikovsky and Moussorgsky. Bar
bara Troxell, soprano, and Paul King, baritone,
will present the selections chosen from the vast
repertoire of Goethe-inspired compositions.
Tickets for the concert are now on sale at Stu
dent Union. The price for students is 55 cents,
with non-student tickets selling for 85 cents.
Sbajfety \Jaive
Yes, They Are!
TO THE EDITOR: I have been under the im
pression that one of the functions of the Athletic
Association and the Graduate Manager of Ath
letics was the distribution of tickets to Penn State
football games. Funds for operating this depart
ment certainly must be appropriated by means of
the College budget and paid for by the student
body through the standard College charges and
AA dues. I feel quite sure that Mr. Gilbert and
his assistants are paid a liberal wage each week
and I would therefore like to know why we are
being charged a 25-cent handling charge for tick
ets to the Army game, when at most the cost of
an envelope and stamp is less than five,cents. I’ll
bet the alumni aren’t charged for handling when
they send for tickets.
• Everybody will pay the 25-cent handling
charge, alumni and students. Three cents will
go toward postage. 15 cents toward special de
livery, and the remainder toward paying for
additional personnel required for handling the
heavy ticket demand.
*I Question the Accuracy'—
TO THE EDITOR: The series of editorials by
Mr. Rubenstein, Mr. Levinson and Mr. Gladfelter
seem to be the work of a group which is trying
to discredit America and Americans.
I question the accuracy of the sentence in Mr.
Levinson’s article of May 10, in which were the
words “the Soviet Union and all other peaceful
countries.”
And Mr. Gladfelter’s citing of one American
publisher (Seldes) who accuses other American
publishers of printing lies? Does he think that
“everyone is out of step but Mr. Seldes?” And,
does Mr. Seldes ever comment on “Pravda”? I
doubt it
Mr. Rubenstein is critical but not construc
tively critical of “Wall Street” and American for
eign policy.
Why don’t the above group take their discus
sions to the International Relations Club, where
they can hear the other side of the questions
involved?
I think they are trying to influence people who
do not read between the lines when reading edi
torials.
A One-Way Trip
TO THE EDITOR: This is a letter written in
reference to a letter by Paul R. Boehner published
in the Collegian on Wednesday, May 11, 1949.
The capitalistic system has mistreated Mr.
Boehner and many other critical people like him.
Let us not refer to him as a citizen. The capital
istic school system provided him with an educa
tion through high school. This horrible form of
government allows him to follow a religion of his
choice. The GI Bill has allowed men to pursue

president of Alpha Kho Omega,

held yunday night.
Also elected as next year’s offi
cers were Russell Faryniak, vice
president; and Joseph Kowalczyk,
secretary-treasurer.

studies other than the militaristic types demanded
by the militant forms of government.
Since Mr. Boehner is so dissatisfied with living
under the terrible type of economy in this coun
try, I’d be more than glad to finance a one-way
trip to a socialistic country of his own choosing
that is not corrupted by the capitalistic system.
As a matter of general interest to Mr. Boehner.
I have a close relative in a European country
dominated by a socialistic government. A few bad
capitalists in this country keep him clothed. Why?
Clothing cannot be purchased because there is
none to be had and land that he once owned on
which he could earn money to purchase the neces
sities of life has been taken from him. A great so
cialist economy has not been able to provide
clothing for its people.
I’m serious, Mr. Boehner, all expenses paid for
a one-way trip.
Information, Please!
TO THE EDITOR and D. Schoenberger: I am
very proud of your excellent analysis of the Mar
shall Plan, “American Imperialism,” NKVD, Rus
sian communism, Henry Wallace, the “satisfied
and unsatisfied,” and “one iota.” However, would
you please disclose the references and statistics
upon which you base your analysis. And for your
record I’m not a Stalinist.

Economy Drive
Fails In Senate
WASHINGTON Leaders of
the economy drive in Congress
lost out yesterday in the Senate
in their first attempt to force a
five per cent cut in government
spending. The move was aimed
at the Post Office and Treasury
departments and the three-billion
dollar bill to finance them dur
ing the next fiscal year. Each de
partment would have been re
quired to save five per cent of
its funds after July 1.
Russians Propose Curb
