PAGE TWO '
Better Councils
Today and tomorrow afford many Nittany
students the chance to accomplish construc
tive things through exercise of their voting
privilege.
Anytime from 8 in the morning until 5 ha
the afternoon on these two days, sophs. Jun
iors and seniors in six schools should take ten
minutes to vole for student councils.
These student councils at Penn State offer
an opportune medium through which students
can better conditions for themselves and their
fellow students. They are among the best
sounding boards for student opinion and
clearing houses for constructive ideas.
COUNCILS ARE democratic; they elect of
ficers from their own number. And they have
a direct voice in student government, since
the president of each school council owns a
seat on All 7 College Cabinet.
FUNCTIONS OF student councils vary from
school to school within the College, but gen
erally they foster programs aimed toward
amicable relations between student and stu
dent, and faculty and student.
In past years, councils have sponsored
countless different projects—from faculty
rating systems to talent shows, from student
mixers to job placement aids, from school
open houses to a proposed artificial lake
near the College.
As in the past, how cdnstructive and in
teresting their programs will be this year will
depend on the caliber of their members. That
is why every student in the six schools mold
ing elections should use his right of ballot
diligently. In no other election will he have
the chance to know the candidates so well, and
weigh their qualifications so accurately, since
they are his classmates. ’
The qualify of this year's Nitiany school
councils will be in direct proportion to the
number of thinking students who take ten
minutes to vote today or tomorrow.
Get out and cast a ballot.

A survey of student tastes, designed to aid the Executive
committee of the second annual Artists’ Course in selecting fea
tures for the course, was being conducted on campus this- week,
15 years ago. A ballot containing the names’ of artists proposed
for the course was printed in the Penn State Collegian. When
filled out by “students, the ballots were deposited in a box in Old
Main and later tallied. . *
Such instrumental groups as the Cleveland Symphony Orchs
tra and the London String Quartet were offered for the students’
consideration, as were such instrumental soloists as Zirribalist and
Levitski, Jose Iturbi, Albert Spalding, Ossip Gabrilowitsch.
Among seven vocal numbers they had to choose from were
Grace Moore, Grete Steueckgold, John Goss and his London
Singers, The Westminister Choir and others.
Six lecturers were also on the ballot, with Dorothy Thomp-.
son, Hans Von Kalteiiborn and the .Martin Johnsons heading
the list. Four companies, consisting lot dancers and dramatic
artists, rounded out the selections.
With a record ticket sale for the opening week of the cam
paign,. officials for the Artists’ Course,' 20 years ago, decided to
continue the sale “throughout next week.”
Richard W. Grant, chairman of the Course report
ed that he expected to have the Auditorium crowded to capacity
on opening night of the Course, when the Russian Symphonic Choir
was scheduled to present “Volga Boatmen. Song,” Dvorak's
Humoresque,” and the “Credo” by Gretchaninoff ...
PLANS FOR A NEW power house, to be erected on the former
site of the Old Mining building at a cost of $750,000, were reveaK
ed by College authorities this week, 20 years ago. The building,
designed to generate heat for all College buildings, was planned
to meet the strictest requirements of architectural beauty.

AVC Backing
TO THE EDITOR: Concerning Saturday’s
editorial “Vets’ Bonus”, by L. D. Gladfelter,
I have found that this seems to be true:
As far as the vet who is opposed to the
bonus is concerned, if any vets organization
had to come out against the bonus, it is un
fortunate for most bonus opponents' that it
had to be the AVC.
AVC was found out definitely to have Red
members; although they have been apparent
ly ptirged, the very fact that they were once
in the organization has sunk deep in the think
ing of most vets. That—in thiS day—means
virtual finis, more or less, for AVC, and was
a major factor in AVC’s recent unsucessful
attempt to merge with Amvets. Amvets would
have nothing of it. AVC, although it may
have some fine aims, cannot last long in this
day of wariness of Red influence.
As far as the general vet is concerned, that
AVC has come out against the bonus will be
(if anything) a contributing factor toward his
voting for the bonus. There is now that re
action or antipathy—toward AVC among most
vets. You can’t get around it.
Therefore, it boils down to this: For the
sake of bonus opponents, Mr. Gladfelter’s. us
ing AVC’s position as an argument for , the
bonus is disastrous.
