TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1953 Penn State Custo in s Please Grad Student How would you like to have a “third party” going on dates, with you? What would you think of the idea of having dancing discontinued and square dancing and movies as your onyr form of entertainment? , 'y What would you say to having smoking, forbidden and holding hands and kissing frowned upon? Life just wouldn’t be the same ,would it? These are only a few of the conventions that Evangelina No bleza, who is studying for her master’s:degree at the College, could tell you about her country. Eva, as she is called, is on leave of absence from her teaching position at Silliman Universary in the Philippine Islands. She at tended the University for a year before the war and the Japanese invasion. After the war’s five year interruption, Eva went back to finish. Since that time she has been teaching at the University. No 'Day' Chaperones . Penn State is quite a change for Eva. It seems that the “no dancing and chaperoned dating” ideas are time honored traditions among some peoples of the Phil ippines and are part of the social code at Silliman University. Only “responsible” couples are allowed to date without a “friend” accom panying them and' the final blow is that the man must pay both for his date’s and her chaperone’s entertainment. Eva adds quickly, however, that they don’t need a chaperone on dates during the dav! Sorority and fraternity life at Silliman University would also seem strange to us. The fraterni ties and sororities there are more like honoraries in this country. Rushing period lasts only a week but a rushee is lucky to live through that week! The rushees, in order to qualify, must be in one particular curriculum and must maintain a 2 average. Dur ing the rushing period the rushee must undergo a week-long “phy sical endurance contest” including stunts, racing, paddling and all' the works. Rushing Is Like Pledging After this week the-rushees are formally initiated. According to Eva, the rushing week is com parable to our whole semester of pledging. . Another new angle is that .the fraternity and sorority in the same curriculum have the same name and have joint meet ings. Who would complain about chapter meetings then? , During World War II all educa tion systems in the Philippine Is lands were disbanded. In this time citizens of the United States saved tin cans for the war effort. After the war, the students at Silliman University found a new use for tin cans. The cans were used as cooking utensils. 3000 Attend About 3000 students are now at tending the school. Of these, 2000 are attending the college and the remaining number are in the pre paratory grades, from kindergar ten up. The curriculums are much the same as those in the U.S. Dr. Boyd Bell, formerly from the College, is now dean of the School of Agri culture' on the island. One feature that particularly impresses Eva about P,enn State is the freedom in course election. It seems you just don’t do that at Silliman University. Courses with in 'the curriculum are standard ized. The last few days in the- Nit tany Vale have also been a new experience for Eva. She bought her first pair of gloves and saw winter for the first time during the “mild” snow storm this past weekend. Air Force Student- Aviation Cadet James R. Beisel, student at the College, is now at tending the USAP Basic Pilot School at Reese Air Force Base, Tex. WRA Executive Board .

Gullo, Fishburn Team Reign as Musical Duo Frank Gullo and Hummel Fishburn, in their song-leading mo ments together, are a Penn State institution. Fishburn at the piano and Gullo leading College songs and old favorites annually greet freshmen in Schwab Auditorium during Orientation Week. They seem to have the knack of transforming a strange audi ence into a singing unit in a mat ter of-minutes. Fishburn attributes the spon taneous reaction the team achieves to Guilo who he . says can intuiti vely sense the mood of a crowd. Gullo, ‘however, credits the suc cess of the team’s impromptu pro grams to Fishburn’s ability to play almost any song. During the school day Fish burn .is head of the Music and Music Education departments. Gullo is an associate professor of music and director of the Penn State Glee Club. Their teaming as entertainers came about a decade ago when they performed for brother Ro tarians in State College. Their fame spread from. Rotary and they were invited to clubs in oth er towns. Since then they have led groups of 9000 and 12,000 in singing at Congregational Lincoln Day din ners -in Washington, D. G.

Gullo and Fishburn are even motion picture personalities, hav ing made two 16 mm. shorts for the Eastern States Farmers Ex change. The movies are . shown at small county and district meet ings. The team uses old favorites to warm up an audience, then goes into songs appropriate for the pro gram. If the number is unfamiliar to the. audience,. Gullo will give the words at the breathing space at the end of each line. They attribute their, success in part to the impromptu spirit— they never use song sheets or slides. Anyone who has heard them, however, has sensed the fun they have, the kidding be tween the two and joking with the crowd. It’s this, when cou pled with real talent, that makes the team a hit every time.
