Full Weekend
Set For Visitors
Next to Homecoming Weekend, the occasion
of Mother's Day produces the greatest influx
of "outsiders" into State College. Today and
tomorrow the folks will be coming in to take
a look at the place that eats up so much of their
hard-earned money.
We have a feeling that Mom and Dad and
the kid brothers and kid sisters will take as
much of a liking to our College as most of us
have. Most of the folks will go home with the
feeling that the money it takes to put a stu
dent through college is not being wasted.
A good bit of sight-seeing and photo-taking
will be in order for the weekend. But visitors to
the College this weekend can take home with
them more than souvenirs, for there is hardly
an interest that cannot be satisfied today and
tomorrow.
For the sporting enthusiasts a lacrosse game
and tennis and track meets should highlight the
day, while those interested in the drama can
take their choice between "Lady in the Dark"
and "John Bull's Other Island." The Dairy Ex
position and the May Day program add to the
weekend's festivities.
So along with the usual mementos of a week
end on a college campus, the folks can take back
with them the knowledge that we have more
than a i pollection of laboratories and classrooms.
Penn State is a community, with all the
activities of a community. The folks will be
pleased.
Mad Millinery
Wednesday is the day for all the College
extroverts, artists, milliners, and crazy people
to hit the headlines.
Mad Hatter's Day can provide many us us
with a real purpose for our empty, leisure hours
from now until then. The contest, which will
seek out the persons on campus who have done
the most or least for their heads by inventing
hats, will reach a climax in front of Old Main
at 2 p.m. with the presentation. df cash prizes.
It would be a real feather for a sorority or
fraternity to be able to grab the top prize in
such a project as a group. —Bud Fenton
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
New Auditorium
Needed By College
The many persons who have attended and
will attend Players fine production of "Lady in
the Dark" this weekend will see why the College
badly needs a new auditorium.
The main criticisms of the handsome musical
play can all be traced to "house" difficulties.
Admittedly the play is elaborate; revolving
stages were used when the Moss Hart produc
tion played on Broadway. Sets in the Players'
"Lady" have been abbreviated and are not re
volving, but they are still elegant and require
much more space than Schwab can provide.
Even before an addition to Recreation Hall
is built, something should be done to increase
campus auditorium facilities. Schwab limits
the Dramatics department and other groups
using it because of its meager accommodations.
Only 1200 of the more than 10,000 students on
campus can squeeze into Schwab at one time.
There are also faculty members and towns
people who use the auditorium. It is also evi
dent to those with a knowledge of the theater
that the lighting and prop accommodations are
woefully inadequate.
A show with the popularity of "Lady" could
'play to a much larger audience. Both Friday
and Saturday nights were sold out days in ad
vance of the presentation.
Although the current international situation
and repercussions will probably hold up plans
for the building of a new modern auditorium,
the College should definitely include such a
structure high up on the list of its future ex
pansion plans. A new "Schwab" would add, not
only to the enjoyment of those appearing in it,
but also to the pleasure of the thousands who
will find entertainment , and instruction within
its confines.

The early days of the College were rough ones
for the students. The first College catalogue
(1859) reports: "The farm being in a very un
improved condition, has since been thoroughly
grubbed and plowed, and in the intervals of the
ordinary farm duties over 3000 two-horse wagon
loads of stone have been removed from it."
Nearly all of this labor was done by the stu
dents themselves. —History of State College

Little - Man On Campus
"He just found out he'll have to pay 'for all those supplies—
the vets' office phoned, him he ran out • of the G. I. bill."
The real guardians of academic freedom at, any college ,are the
faculty and the students. Oftinies one or the other will be negligent
in its duty. Seldom will both fail to rise to the occasion when
academic freedom and the right of free expression is challenged.•
For taking up the cudgel in defense of freedom of thought and
expression the students at the University of Wisconsin have earned
themselves a spot in the front'
ranks of those who fight for
democracy—in the fullest mean
ing of that often defiled. word
Max Lerner, the noted edito
rialist and newspaper columnist,
is scheduled to speak on . the
Wisconsin campus Sunday. He
will speak under the sponsor
ship of a group of student lead
ers who are backing Lerner
after a faculty group allowed it
self to be intimidated by
entirely unfounded and rather
ridiculous Communist charges
against the newspaperman.
It all started some time ago
when Lerner was requested to
speak at the university by the
Kemper Knapp committee and
the University Memorial Forum.

Shortly after Lerner accepted,
the committee canceled the lec

The Daily Cardinal, -.student
newspaper at Wisconsin, quoted
Dr. Edgar S. Gordon, chairman of
the committee, saying the ban on
'Lerner was imposed on the "ad
vice of many people." Gordon
said he had been told.: Lerner

not disclose the source of the

The fireworks started. -Lerner,
whose editorials are referred to
as "often high points in, liberal

charge could not be proved "for
