Our Town' to Open;
Unique Staging • Set
"Our Town," Thornton Wilder's 1938 Pulitzer Prize-winning
play, opens a three-evening run at 8 tonight in Schwab Audi
torium.
Tickets for the play are on sale at the Student Union desk
in Old Main.
Tickets for tonight's show are 60 cents, and for tomorrow and
Saturday's performance, $l.
Performance of the play marks
the fourth time since 1940 that
Penn State Players have pre
sented the popular Wilder play,
which -received favorable press
notices all over the country when
first produced.
Written by an author with two
other Pulitzer - prize efforts,. the
best-selling noyel. `The .Bridge
of San Luis Rey" in 1927 and the
play "Skin of Our Teeth" in 1942,
`Our Town" is , a unique experi
ment in theatrical technique
called "expressionism."
'-Without scenery, the play fea
tures purely functional property
and depends on striking lighting
effects.
The setting of the "Town" is
a• typical New England one, Grol
ver's Corners, New Hampshire.
A garrulous Yankee in the nov
el role of the stage manager,
played by Dramatics Prof. Arthur
C. Cloetingh, opens the play by
talking intimately with the audi
ence.
Throughout, the stage manager
comments on -the action an d

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 8, 1951
Chest Total
Climbs to
$4600 Mark
Over $lOOO was turned in tcl
the Campus Chest yesterday to
raise the chest total to $4600 with
three days left in the drive. This
year's goal is $12,000.'
Murray Goldman, solicitation
chairman, said that reports from
solicitors are now picking up, al
though only .one-half of the solici
tors has reported.
Goldman said that there seem
ed to be several misconceptions on
the part of solicitors as to how
the drive is being run, and these
points may be) causing slow re
turns. He asked solicitors who
have questions pertaining to the
drive to contact sectional captains
to have problems ironed out.
This year's Campus Chest is
running on a threefold purpose.
The first purpose of the drive is
to emphasize the responsibility of
students and faculty tow ar d
chartered -groups benefited by the
funds.
The drive is expected to mini
mize the duplicated efforts in
volved in separate fund-raising
activities by having one yearly
drive.
It is also expected to establish
a definite policy toward the op
eration of various fund drives on
campus. -
William Klisanin, drive chair
man, stressed the benefits to the
student by having only one drive
each year. He also urged students
to contribute the individual goal
.f $2.
Students ma y contribute by
pledging a sum to be added to
second semester fees, or by giv
ing cash. The nine groups bene
fiting from the chest drive are
Penn State Christian Associa
tion, World Student Service Fund,
Scholargram program, Salvation
Army; Heart Fund, March of
Dimes, Leo Houck Cancer Fund,
Women's Student Government
Association Christmas Fund, and
State College Community Fund.
Three percent of income will be
used for expenses.

The Internal Revenue Bureau
has filed in U. S. District Court
in Scranton a tax lien of $1503.34
for miscellaneous taxes against
the Pennsylvania State College
Military Ball committee and Wal
ter D. Charwick, et al, the Asso
ciated Press . reported yesterday.
Chadwick is listed as a "Lieu
tenant, USN."
It was understood that the taxes
covered alleged unpaid admission
taxes, the AP said.
A spokesman for the three
ROTC units on campus which
sponsor the Military Ball said
here yesterday that through a
"misunderstanding" the commit
tee had not paid federal taxes on,
the dances held in 1947, 1948, 1949,
and 1950.
Informed by Agent
The spokesman saw that in
June of this year, a federal tax
agent informed them that they
were' liable for the taxes.
The spokesman said someone
in the past had been under the im
pression that the dance was tax
exempt and that no taxes had
been paid. The misinformation had
been passed down as new officers
took over command of the ROTC
units and with it, the Military
Ball.
He said when the committee
was informed that approximately
$1;400 in back taxes was due, the
committee paid about $5OO that
was available in its treasury.
Request Made
A request was also made that
the committee be exempted from
the balance of the taxes on the
basis that the bill covered a four
year period and involved persons
on the committees who had al
ready been graduated from the
College.
Lt. Chadwick, when contacted
yesterday; said the only reason
his name entered the picture was
so all necessary papers could be
mailed to him as head of the
Committee.
Legal sources consulted yester
day said they were uncertain as to
what procedure would be follow
ed by the government in the case.
One attorney said that Lt. Chad
wick, as head of the committee,
could possibly be assessed for the
difference remaining to be paid.
He added, however, that without
seeing the papers in the case, and
without knowing the full details,
he could not make • a definite
statement as to who could be held
responsible in the event the case
came to that point.
Not Held Repsonsible
It seems unlikely, however,
that Chadwick would be , held re
sponsible due to the fact that he
