Center Stage Offers Unique Experience When the stage lights go up on "The Impor tance of Being Earnest" at Center Stage to night. the Penn State Players will mark their seventh year of theater-in-the roundproduc tions as well as their 33d consecutive year in the drama business. In the 33 years Players has been in existence, a great many hit shows have been produced and a great many improvements have been made. Since Players began using Center Stage for their arena productions in 1948, vast im provements in lighting and sound equipment have been made. For those who have never seen a play done in arena style, a real experience is ahead. The still-novel idea of having the audience sit on all four sides of the stage gives a greater degree of intimacy and should provide a stim ulating experience for the uninitiated. The majority of the freshmen probably have never seen a Players' production. To them we'd like to offer a word of recommendation. We've seen a great many shows done on Broad way and in summer stock. We can honestly say that with few exceptions Players will never have to be ashamed of the job they have done on any show. While their costumes, stage set tings, and props may not be as elaborate as those of a Broadway production, their quality is certainly far above what should be expected of amateurs and semi-professionals. We've of ten been frankly amazed at the expert jobs that have been done on some of the sets and costumes in the past. This year Players is offering an outstanding list of plays, including "Major Barbara," "Lute Song," "Merry Wives of Windsor," "Twentieth Century," "Amphitryon 38," "Children of Dark ness," and. "Right You Are if You Think So." Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Ear nest" will continue at Center Stage for seven weekends. A unique experience is in store for those who have never seen a theater-in-the-round production. There will be plenty of oppor tunity both this semester and next to take advantage of the entertainment available. Go out to Center Stage soon and see for your self.

STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Safety Valve Frosh Can Have Good Times TO THE EDITOR: I was greatly interested in a recent letter in the Collegian denouncing the freshman girls fraternity ruling. Apparently the writer, a freshman coed, feels that a great injustice is being done to her and certain of her friends. That injustice being that first semester freshmen are prohibited from visiting fraternity houses. I might better understand her view if other activities and places of recreation were not provided by the College—however, they are. Obviously she has not heard of the Tern porary Union Building, the Lion's Den, and West Dorm lounges on campus and business establishments in town. True, these places may be less dramatic and exciting than frat ernities, but I'm sure one may have just as good a time at these places as in the frat ernities. Considering of course what one calls a good time. This problem, however, is a matter of rules. and rules are established by responsible offi cials and students who have a wide knowledge of the situation and who establish these rules for the welfare of a group. In this case, the freshman girls. I have no personal disfavor of r fraternities whatsoever and absolutely none concerning frat ernities as a place for entertaining dates. As rules now stand certain freshman girls will have to wait until next semester for their good times, but in the meantime abide by the rules and try to have a good time. Gazette ...

We noticed the posters for this fall's Junior Prom going up this week, and couldn't help but recall some of the less - happy ex periences we had in shoving our way out of last year's IFC Ball We still have bitter memories of a good hour spent in the rain searching for the couple which was to use the ticket for the second half while two fraternity brothers did the same thing. The experience was still - fresh enough in mind when Senior Prom came along to keep us away. There have been, of course, the usual disgruntled comments from some male ,students against for mal dances ever since we have been on campus. There are some Rho' just don't enjoy them. But more recently whole groups have put their heads together to come up with some sort of "house Free Lecture on Christian Science Lecturer: Subject: ,„:.
