Community Concert Series
Signs Indianapolis Symphony
The Indianapolis Symphony Or
chestra, has been signed to appear
in the Community Concert series
on Feb. 9, W. E. Kenworthy, chair
man of the board, announced yes
terday.
The announcement came as so
licitors reported over 900 of the
1230 memberships already sold.
Relatively few subscriptions have
been sold to students, John Thay-
inauguration
Sidelights
One evidently unimpressed
with the ceremonies could only
remark, "What a seat for a foot
ball game."
Despite the sunny skies many
found the shaded stands chilly
enough to wear sweaters and top
coats. Some of the faculty mem
bers and married veteran-students
brought along their youngsters.
Some were even equipped for
rapid changes and feeding, but
others were not equipped to pre
vent some untimely bawling.
Cameras were popping from
all over the stands as well as
the field. Celebrity seekers even
high in the grandstand could
spot Gen. Dwight D. Eisen
hower by watching press photo
graphers who kept shooting at
him during the speeches.
About six hardy tennis players
refused to give up their courts
until the program actually began.
They came right back again when
the program ended.
Comments an d wisecracks
showed the audience could ap
preciate humorous angles in the
midst of a rather sober aca
demic ritual. When Dr. Eisen
hower reached for a water glass
during his speech, for instance,
one asked if he carried his own
milk shakes.
After the speakers filed onto
the platform, the College mar
shal, Prof. David H. McKinley,
began to check off the honored
guests in the front section. Com
mented one student, "He's prob
ably taking role."
Wednesday night, the Glee club
went to the President's mansion
to serenade the Eisenhowers after
the inaugural reception. They
went into their song, and General
and Mrs. Dwight Eisenhower
came out and told them that
President and Mrs. Eisenhower
were still at White hall, where a
reception was being held.
The glee club moved over to
the hall, called the President and
his wife out on the porch, and
once again sang the "Fight Song",
"Blue and White", and the Alma
Mater.
Freshmen, Hatmen
Serve As Ushers
Freshmen were pressed into
service as ushers at yesterday's
inauguration when the junior hat
societies ran short of men for the
job.
Over 30 freshmen were station
ed in the stands under the super
vision of men from Blue Key and
Androcles. Hatmen scoured the
campus for volunteers among the
freshmen an hour before the
scheduled start of the ceremonies.
Frosh ushers wore dinks and
bow ties with signs optional. Two
were placed in every section of
the stands.

er, in charge of sales, said in re
vealing the figure.
"We hope students will take ad
vantage of the few remaining
memberships," Thayer said. "Most
of the subscriptions so far have
been sold to townspeople and fac
ulty."

sales enabled the concert com
mittee to book the 95-piece In

predicted that the last of the 1230

The Community Concerts ser
vice was brought to State College
to replace the old Artists' course,
which was discontinued last year.
Community concerts, operating
on a no profit-no loss basis, sells
series memberships and then
books artists on the amount avail
able.
The service is an international
one, with over 1000 American and
Canadian communities employing
it. It has headquarters in New
York and Chicago.

(Continued from page one)
head of the Music department,
the procession stretched one
eighth of a mile from the field
entrance.
At the end of the long line was
the platform party, headed by
James Smith, College chaplain.
Members of the party were Davis,
Duncan, Duff, Stoddard, Milhol
land, and Dr. Eisenhower.
The honor guard already had
stationed themselves around the
platform. They remained there
throughout the 95-minute cere
mony.
It took 15 minutes for the en
tire procession to enter the field
and be seated facing the plaiiorm,
which had been erected in front
of the west stands.
The weather was ideal. Pres
ident Eisenhower remarked at
his press conference later, "I
hope things turn out as well
later as the weather situation
did today."
