Waiting Appears To Be Best Step After considerable and unavoidable delay, the student body has learned that the proposed campus radio station is. still in the planning stage. . . The station—a long needed addition to Penn Stale—seemed destined to be in opera tion this Fall. We were told that "'the gift would be suffi cient to place in operation a closed-wire station that would reach students on campus. those students living in private homes and fra ternities was a problem which would have to be solved later. Students who developed the plans erred in their estimates of the cost of such a project. As the radio committee indicated- in it's report to All-College Cabinet Thursday night, the cur rently available funds would enable a station set up now to reach only 35 per cent of the student body. Even if it were deemed wise at this time to start a station that would reach only 35 per cent of the student body—in the hope of later expanding the system with additional funds—such action would seem foolhardy in fiew of the current Federal Communications Commission action in regards to closed-wire stations. Several closed-wire stations on the college level have already been closed, others are under investigation. Many of these stations have ex ceeded their legal power output—thus enabling them to be heard beyond the limitations of the clossd-wire system—and are violating FCC reg ulations. There seems to be at present a good chance that all closed-wire stations will be declared illegal by the commission. Under these ! cir cumstances it would be foolish to pour $6OOO into a closed-wire system now when one FCC ruling could convert all wired-wireless into obsolesence. In _ view of the current uncertainty, the decision of .the radio committee to adopt a policy of sit and wait appears to be a good move. Timely Question In Tonight’s Debate In a world where even English-speaking na tions misunderstand each other, it might be worth an hour’s time to hear what two out standing Oxford University students have to say about their own country’s future. Penn Slate students will have this chance tonight, when William Rees-Mogg and Rich ard Taverne, members of England's traveling debate team, join with Clair George and David Lewis in the 16th annual international debate. The question, Resolved: That the return of Mr. Churchill as prime minister would be highly regrettable, could not be more timely, what with British general elections scheduled for Oct. 25. At that time England will choose be tween the Conservative leadership of Churchill and the Labor rule of Clement Attlee. . Opportunities to hear polished speakers discuss vital topics at no charge are not many at a college situated so far from major cities. But Penn State has the chance at 7:30 tonight in 121 Sparks. Let's take advantage of it. —Beilie Loux THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE CnSSLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA «, ’ ' V /* ____ Safety Valve—• Phooey on,Movie Advertising TO THE EDITOR: I should have expected it. They ve done it again. Specifically, I refer to the blatant, insulting piece of pornography currently being employed to drag the bourgeoisie past the box-office to gape at David, Bathsheba, and the dancing girls. Many scenes from the film would make much more effective advertising than the insignificant and irrelevant bits of action emphasized on the lobby poster. But the hucksters deliberately ignore the powerful religious message of the film, and bate the public with a danse du ventre. Implicit in this sort of display is the profound contempt which the motion picture promoter entertains for the cultural and intellectual level of his potential customers. The mercenary ex ploitation of sex becomes the basis for practi cally all motion picture advertising. It becomes a summary precept that the movie-going public is motivated solely by a shrinking, lewdly vicarious curiosity. I reject that precept, the reactionary pseudo intellectualism from -which it emanates, and in fact-the- whole parcel of glamorous privileged amorality, professional snoops, scandal mongers and personality wreckers. I do not reject movies per se. Movies can be good, constructive, entertain ing, and stimulating. They can be advertised tastefully and honestly. And I think most of us would actually prefer it that way. Gazette • • • Tuesday, October 16 BIOFORUM, 214 Frear Laboratory, 4:15 p.m. CHESS CLUB, 3 Sparks, 7 p.m.- .

Actors Work Hard, Bat Have Fun Too If you’ve ever taken the time or the trouble to drop in von the Thespian rehearsals, you begin to wonder how they stand .the gaff, and the added. ; insult of sneering cynics with one comment, “Amateurs.” ;. „. We took a run over to Schwab the other night, and while’there was a lot of hard work being done, on “Bottoms Up,” there still was quite £ bit of evidence that everyone was having a good time too, The first sight that greeted us was Frank Lewis drilling,.the chorus line in the outer lobby. This is funny in itself. There were 16 people all to gether. Frank, eight women and seven other men. Lewis was try ing to whip them into shape for a precision turn that was sup posed to work in with the rhythm of the song the chorus sings as it goes through the routine. First, he tried the women. At the first turn, two of the bunch were left behind. They were going in a southerly direction while the other six headed off to the north. Frank rolled his eyes and made choking noises. "No, no. Like this. One, two, three, voom! One, two three voom! You gotta move with it. You're not wooden indians. Everything's got to come into play." There were a few more “vooms” and a “whamo” thrown in for good measure, and Frank seemed to be satisfied. Then he went to work on the men. This was no small accomplishment. The seven of them are rather large. The eight girls are rather small.

The seventh was mousetrapped and retired to the rear. He' felt silly and looked lonely back there all by himself. Mailers came to a head on ihe fifth ' time around. Frank wrote ihe music for the show'. Dave Weiner the lyrics. Now, to be honest, Lewis doesn't know the words to the songs as well as his chorus line. He started them out all right, but forgot the lyrics in the middle. When he finally got lh:em strainghiened out, it was too late. Mike ■ (she's a girl) Clay smith depleted Frank's male chorus by four for a number that was going on inside. We drifted in with the crowd. Mike, five other girls and six men were going through a rou tine called “Manhattan”. Mike seemed to be having the same trouble Frank was-running into in the lobby. It must be recorded here that Frank was a little hoarse. However, we must also say that Mike sounded like a drill master. She ordered the men to close ranks. She yelled at the girls to get closer to the men. And through' it all, she went through with the routine (Continued from page five)' £ I |
