A Temptation
Cheating on examinations is one of the great
est temptations facing students, for much of
their futures rests on the grades they make in
college. Unless those grades are sufficiently
high, the student will be unable to graduate,
and much of his time, energy, and money will
have been wasted.
At final exam time the temptation is par
ticularly great. Some students will go to any
length to learn exam questions in advance or to
take a crib to the final.
THERE'S NO USE kidding ourselves into be
lieving that all Penn State students are too
honest to cheat on exams. And one of the worst
injustices these students commit is directed at
their fellow students, who also are cheated be
cause they do not have the same dishonest ad
vantage.
Cheating is practiced on the Penn Stale,
campus, and everyone on campus knows it.
But aside from College regulations and proc
toring of exams, the only defense which the
vast majority of honest students has is a
combined front against cheaters.
The student who cheats on an exam will
cheat in other phases of life. He is not the kind
of person one would want for a friend and
companion. If his dishonesty is to he counter
acted, it must be by ostracism and disdain by
letting him know that he will not be accepted
by the other students with whom he must work
and live.
Blood Donors
Following final exams, most students will go
home for a few days. It would be worthwhile,
during those days when there is free time, to
visit the local blood bank.
Blood donor centers throughout the country
constantly are calling for additional contri
butions, for the steady stream of war casual
ties from the Korean war has swollen the
normally great demand. Many communities
in Pennsylvania are equipped with donor
facilities.
Donation of blood for medical use is a valu
able service to fellow citizens. It is a project
well worth contributing to during mid-year va
cation.
Friends Depart
Six-hundred seniors will move out from Penn
State following commencement ceremonies
next week. Whatever their feelings about the
event, there’ll be little opportunity of expres
sing them in the midst of the last-day formal
ceremonies.
IN A COLLEGE of 11,000, it is not classes that
move out into jobs, marriage, the army, etc.,
but rather individuals. Friends and acquaint
ances are leaving. It is to them that individuals
who are remaining behind wish good luck.

Agrees With Writer
TO THE EDITOR:- After reading the letter
from Bucknell concerning the Penn State-Buck
nell basketball game, I find myself in complete
agreement with the writer. Your note showed
a total ignorance of present-day basketball. Any
team that has to Stop playing basketball to win
games should not be on the floor. You should
not make any unfavorable comments about an
other school until Penn State has a modern
basketball coach.
Proverbial Straw
TO THE EDITOR: Being rash I know,'but I
must agree with the “boola-boola” boys from-
Bucknell not in literary style but in the mes
sage carried. I am prone to believe our coach
has reached the end of his usefulness “A big
time college needs a big time (basketball)
cdach,” also. The Colgate game was bad enough,
but the tactics used in the Bucknell game was
the proverbial straw. I hate to give Bucknell
any degree of satisfaction, but such is the case
as I see it.
Proper Attire
TO THE EDITOR: The question of coats at
dinner-time in the new dining hall was never a
serious one with me. I felt that a coat was the
proper attire for a college student at dinner
time. Now I feel that if the College demands
proper attire for the employees in the kitchen.
I can hardly believe, with any stretch of the
imagination, that the yellow and blue shirt of
the regulation gym suit is proper attire for
kitchen help. Such a shirt is what one employee
wore at dinner time tonight. I have been to
enough gym classes to know that one doesn't
come from phys. ed. smelling like a rose.
I feel that if this situation is brought to the
attention of the proper people something will
be done to remedy it. ■■
P.S.—lf the fellow described above is in such
financial straits that he can not afford a shirt,
I will be glad to give him one of mine.

West Dorms Hove
Varied Music Diet
The music in the West dorm dining commons is a balanced
musical diet with appetizer, entree,' and dessert, according to Hum
mell Fishburn, professor of music education.
The men eating in the West dorm dining hall hear approxi
mately one hour of varied music at noon and another hour during
the evening meal. The programs, which are posted in the lounge,
start with light selections by mod
erns like George Gershwin .and
Jerome Kern, and continue with
short selections from the classics.
They conclude with lighter
works
“Nobody is trying to stuff
classical music down the men’s
throats,” Fishburn said. “That is
why we have such varied music.
We want to appeal to everyone’s
taste.”
L-P Records
The music is all on long-play
ing records, and. at present the
library consists of about 22 hours
of music, six hours of sympho
nies, four and a half hours of
modern American music, four
hours of ballets and dances, three
hours of suites, one and a half
hours of tone poems, and three
hours of other music. When com
plete, the library will consist of
about 50 hours of music.
Fishburn has made the project

“his baby” and spent the Christ
mas vacation making selections
of music to be bought and timing
each selection. He has the pro
grams set up so that none runs
less than 58 minutes' and npne
more than 62.
No Commercial Music
The programs are free of com
mercial music of all sorts.. There
will Be no swing music, Fishburn
said, because the men can get
enough of that over the radio
and on the snack bar juke box.
“The jazz idiom, too, is heard
often and much of it is of an
impermanent nature. AH of the
music we play during meals will
be as good a hundred years from
now as it is, today.”
