Theater Groups Hold Auditions The theater season at the Col lege is getting off to a flying start this fall with productions by Theppians, Penn State Players, and Center Stage going into im mediate rehearsal. The first' play at Center Stage The Glass Menagerie by Tennes see Williams is already cast and opens HoMecoming weekend. It will run Friday and Saturday nights for six weeks.

The Thespian Club is the old est organization on the campus dating back to 1898. It was founded by Dr. Fred Lewis Pattee who is known for having written the Penn State Alma Mater. Each year the Thespian Club, an all male organization, and its coun terpart the Masquerette Club, an all girl club, jointly put on two Musical comedies. • With each snowfall, the College Power Plant estimates that at least 20 glass panels of street lights located on campus, costing about $5O to replace, 'are broken by students throwing snowballs. "Pour I:=M1 Of the 10,000 students who will enrbll within the next few days, about 500 are freshman women; 3000 are sophomores, all coming to the campus for the first time.. The sophomores are those who' were farmed out to cooperating colleges and the Penn State cen ters last year. While the veteran enrollment has dropped with the incoming class it is still higher than the average for other colleges, and uni versities in the nation. Over 50 per cent 'of the Summer sessions enrollment was composed of vet erans. One hundred fifty women and 300 men were admitted as transfer students coming from other col leges with advanced standing. The number of those admitted with ad vanced standing must be limited, as our first commitment must be to our students at the centers and co-operating colleges," Gerhardt added. Last year 2700 new students en tered the College for the fall se mester and the number living on campus totaled about 9000. This year's enrollment will bring a marked increase in that number and raise the total enrollment of the College to well over 13,000.
