PAGE TWO Progress TWO 'NEW FACETS of student life are being polished up for a welcome campus debut next fall. Totally different, they will bear a similar characteristic—student benefit. One, the Community Concert Series, being inaugurated by the College, will fill a void left when the Artist Series collapsed, and will serve to make college life at Penn State some thing more than a giddy, happy lark. The other, the Campus Chest, will consoli date all financial drives into one huge campaign early in the year, thus eliminating the "bother" of an endless string of campus drives, and serv ing to focus much more pointed and thorough campus attention on worthy cooperating agen cies. A CHANCE TO see and hear a famous Wm.: phony orchestra or violin virtuoso is a rare treat in State College, a treat capitalized on by enough students and townspeople to make the now-defunct Artist Course pay for itself rough ly twelve years out of 15 at the College. While the old Artist Course listed a program arbitrarily and tried to sell tickets on the basis of "here's the program—take it or leave it," the new Community Concert Association will first campaign to sell a full Schwab house, with the program to be determined partly by the num ber of memberships subscribed during the cam paign. This essential difference seems advantage ous to the new Series and—together with a contemplated attractive ticket reduction— will be insurance against lack of patronage and a Series collapse. And the Chest, if handled aggressively and thoroughly, should satisfy all organizations in the habit of sponsoring worthy campus drives. A Chest plan, submitted by the National Stu dent Association committee, has already passed Cabinet. On top of that, , the Chest will enjoy a fine boost when this year's Spring Carnival profits are put toward operational expenses for Penn State's first Chest campaign next fall. THE SINGLE CHEST effort will benefit co-. operating agencies, as well as the student body, because many of the agencies are not strong enough in campus workers and resources; or skilled enough in fund-raising, to gain best ,results alone. Perhaps this—coupled with the fact that too many separate drives had already taken place—helped push the money is the darkest corner of the pocketbook during the recent WSSF drive, for example, and serves to spur a strong all-College Chest effort next fall. Unhesitatingly, we conjure up an old cliche to. say, that the 'Chest and the Concert Series are two o' the best things that have hit Nit tanytown in many moons.

Mud In Your Eye Spring is here at last—almost. The barren trees all over the campus are slowly losing that wint:Y look and assuming a darker hue.

Now the hero of our little drainer puts in• his•appearance. Enter Apullo, rlding hie golden chariot across the bleak winter sky. . • • THE TREES SHAKE the snow from their weary branches. blades of grass push-their way up to the surface of the: earth and the ivbild, our part, takes on a greenish complexion, similar to that of man partaking of a hamburger while reading a newspaper which bold* , proclaims that horsemeat is beitig used in the restaurants of "our fair city." AnYway, the sun thawS out the ground and the water has to go sotheplace, so it rises. And what happens. To repeat—MUD. There is no need for All-College Cabinet to appoint a Keep- Off-the Wass committee. Anybody in their right mind sticks to the oft-traveled sidewalki of the Mall or risks losing his life in 'the snuck. Joe College, having loSt his driver's license, is forced to walk to classes everyday. Joe lives within three feet of the outermost boundary of the boro. The only way he can possibly get to class within a reasonable hour, without getting up too eaily, is to cut across acres and acres of lawns belonging to gentleman of Greek natures. * s • THE LAWNS ARE all well kept. These gentleman have their sons (in the vernacular, pledges) sprinkle these acres and acres with bags and bags of fertilizer. 'The fertilizer used to care for the acres mixes in well with . ;,he mud. Our unsuspecting Joe, who knows nothing of these nocturnal carryings on. goes skipping lightly along the sidewalks, such as they .are, and comes to the first of many shortcuts he takes. For the next few feet, everything goes well. Then, to reiterate-.-MUD. Slinging his books across - his shoulder in the manner approved in "Battleground," Joe slogs through the mud with phenomonal patience. At the next field, his resistance is a little lower, and he sinks deeper into the goo than the first field. And so it goes. * * AT S4CH SHORT cut, deeper and deeper he goes until at last the stuff laps over the tops of his white bucks, and he is lost. With. a ,sigh, life passes in review in a split second, and he sur renders o the elements. Aki opting passes into summer, and summer into fall, some one,, someday, will unearth a dried out set of bones, clothed only in white bucks, mud soaked at that and will know that here is another Lail human who tried to buck something and lost.

COLLEGE bier -GEORGE GLAZER WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16; 1910 Safety Valve... Too Commercial TO THE EDITOR: Recently, I purchased ticket for a Center Stage production, and due to circumstances that were beyond control, I wasn't able to attend Friday evening's perform ance. "Circumstances beyond one's control" quite often occur during the course of everyone's life and therefore I hoped by telling my story to Student Union and to the office of the Drama department they would be kind enough in either allowing me to use the same ticket or to ;eplace thelicket for one at a future date; how ever, this was the answer I received: • "The Penn State Drama Department is only interested in selling tickets." In other' words,.it would appear that the people who see the shows do not matter. It is only the Almighty 90c or the one dollar and twenty-five cents that ,is im portant. Well, this Is intefesting. Art ceases to be where commercialism takes over. This is good to know. Being an ardent theatre-lover myself, I have persuaded many of my friends to accompany me to Center Stage and therefore 1 hope you rea lize, for the sake of one ticket, the possibility of the loss of many tickets.
