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.

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.

About
Splitting Tickets
By JIM GROMILLER
Dances in RecreaLion Hall. especially the big ones, have been
starting to get the social blackball from students, mainly because
the jams at intermissions are so bad that the dances just aren't
worth the effort.
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

around the social necessity of tak
ing in a Rec Hall dance.
The s.o.p. has long been to
exchange tickets at intermission,
with men dating campus wom
en taking in the first half, and
the imports going to the latter.
The problem then is to keep
track of your date and at ,the

IFC last year, you get soaked.
