PAGE TWO Enquiring Reporter Student Ideas for TUB Range From Study Hall to Infirmary The Inquiring Reporter this week asked six men and six women students “What do you think the University should do with the Temporary Union Building when the new Student Union Building now being constructed goes into use?” At present, the University administration has made no statement concerning intended use of the temporary building. However, students had many varied opinions on the matter. Here are the answers of twelve students who gave their opinions when asked by this reporter; Marilyn Harlander, fifth semes ter Spanish major: “I think the TUB should be converted into a new Center Stage plus eliminat ing the cost of paying for the pre sent Stage and making it more convenient for students to see the Player’s shows.” William Fahnestock, seventh semester insurance major: “It has no practical value so it might as well be destroyed. “It’s an eyesore to the campus.” Work Shop Suggested Joetta Hall, fifth semester mar keting major: “I think the TUB should be used as a work shop for students where they could work on hobbies such as wood craft, painting, and sculpturing. The small rooms might be con verted into practice rooms for students who play instruments. Campus facilities are limited for these activities.” Joan Crieiz, first semester journalism major: “I think they ought to tear it down because the University is eventually going to have to expand, and they’ll need the space ” Winter Concert Will Feature 61 Students Sixty-one students will play in the annual winter concert of the University Symphony Orchestra at 3 p.m, Sunday in Schwab Audi torium.

Dormitory Ouiet Hours Are in Effect Today Quiet hours will begin today in University dormi tori e s, James W. Dean, assistant to the dean of men in charge of inde pendent affairs, has announced. Violations will be reported, by resident counselors to the Dean of Men's office where penalties will be imposed, he said. By BEV DICKINSON Parking Lot Frank Sando, Jr., seventh se mester labor management major: “The removal of the TUB in favor of a large parking lot would greatly alleviate the serious park ing problem created by the Fri day and Saturday night ‘rush hours’.” Charlotte Luiinski, fifth semes ter medical technology major: “I think it should be completely turned over to the University Book Exchange, and as a center of any other school supplies.” William Frederich, third semes ter music major: “I’d turn it over to the faculty for a FUB—Faculty Union Building.” Conference Site Catherine Sutton, seventh se mester English Literature major: “I think it would be a good idea to convert it into a meeting place for conferences, both local and visiting.” Mark Heisler, fifth semesier journalism major: “Since places for study where absolute quiet exists are rare, I suggest that it be turned into a study center, where all noise and talking is prohibited. (This certainly is not the case in dorms and the library.)” William Camp, sixth semester insurance major: “How about an addition to the infirmary? They’re pretty short of facilities, but it would take a considerable sum of money, I expect.” Sylvia Grube, fifth semester elementary education major: “I suggest that the University give the TUB to the Department of Education so they won’t have to walk to Pollock for their offices.” (Continued on page eight) Little Theatre Show to 36 Children in Thesis Little Theatre audiences will see a one-man show—written, di rected, and produced by a woman —when 36 children of the State College school area present “Lit tle Burnt Face” at 7:30 tonight in the basement of Old-Main.

Rash of Misconduct Is Viewed by Simes Experiencing a rash of disciplinary cases between the end of the Christmas vacation and the beginning of finals is not unusual, Dean of Men Frank J. Simes, hafe reported. This statement was made after four cases were referred by his office to the Association of Independent Men’s Judicial Board of Review for action, two others were settled by the, office, and several other cases, including an uprising in Watts Hall, were un der investigation. The AIM board will meet at 10 tonight in 204 Old Main to hear the four cases referred to them, and to try recommending to the Dean of Men’s office a new pun ishment for 34 members of Nit tany Dormitory 43. The board’s original recommendation that residents donate blood in the next University blood drive was re jected Tuesday by campus blood drive officials. Two of the four cases the board will hear involve j;he use of fire works by students in dormitories. The third involves the case of two students drinking in Nittany tuted by the department. “Little Burnt Face,” set in a Dakotan Indian village, tells a story similar to the traditional Cinderella legend.

Read is at present delivering the Charles Elliot Norton series of lectures at Harvard University. His talk'last night, jointly sponsored by the Division of Fine and Applied Arts of the Department of Architec ture and the Art Education division of the Department of Education, was a discussion of originality as it applies to forms of creative work. Read Hits Morality Placed 'Above' Art Art cannot be subordinated to morality, Sir Herbert Read, dis tinguished British scholar, said in his talk last night in 121 Sparks. Speaking on “Originality,” he said, the major conflict in Art is between moral and aesthetic viewpoints, and our society is pri marily concerned with moral standards. This concept ultimately means the death of Art, he said, for it has never before been sub ordinated to moral values. To illustrate his points, Read quoted ' Leo ■ Tolstoy, nineteenth centrum Russian realist, and very knowingly criticized his theories. Tolstoy, in his book, “What is Art,” he said, regards Art as a means of communication for the feelings of the artist. Tolstoy fur ther believes, Read said, that Art must be ■ judged by the moral standards of a Christian commun ity, and that artists must choose to communicate to the public their good feelings while reject ing their bad ones. 'lncludes All Fields' Dormitory 35, and the fourth, a student illegally entering the West Dorm lounge. According to James W. Dean, assistant to the dean of men in charge of independent affairs, stu dents in Watts Hall engaged in a battle with wastebaskets of water being thrown, four fire alarms in the dormitory set off. and several firecrackers being ignited Thurs day night. Dean said he has warned that responsibility 'for any further trouble will be placed. with the dormitory graduate resident coun selors, dormitory officers, and the president of the Association of In dependent Men, who is a, resident of the dormitory. It was the dorm itory’s first disturbance '.his se mester, he said. Feature Play placed among flat pieces depicting bushes.

Miss Stein studied dramatics at Allegheny College, with extensive courses in children’s drama, be fore starting graduate studies •at the University.

THURSDAY. JANUARY 14. 1954 By EDMUND REISS Read is speaking of Art, not only as painting and sculpture, but as including all fields which come under the artistic creativity of man. These would also include, according to him, music,, poetry, drama, and all forms of literary fiction. Continuing with Tolstoy, Read challenges his view that Art is. the highest function in human so ciety and that it should transform the perceptions of the artist into states of feeling. Read feels that just the opposite should be the case; that the artist should ma terialize emotions "into" viewable form. Read also opposes Tolstoy in the latter’s view that true Art must be acceptable to all men and not for primarily ohe class. Read maintains that “if Art is for all men, it must then be re duced to the class of China dolls.” The mass of men do not read or appreciate Homer or Virgil; he added, and these are great writ ers. Art, he said, shouldn’t have to lower its appeal, for this is de grading it. The press. Read said, tries to bridge the gap between the artist and the public, but it is not very successful. • Artists believe, he said, that there is a complete lack of comprehension 'of .Art in the press.' Journalistically; he said, Art is classified as entertainment. Read furthermore maintained that the press guides public opinion in Art as in politics. Perhaps in this, he ' was thinking exclusively of the press in England. Continuing, Read cited the exr ample of last year’s international sculpture competition which had the theme of the “Unknown Po litical Prisoner.” Being on the jury for this competition which awarded the prize to a very ab stract piece of art, he assaulted the press for not being satisfied with the decision and for creat ing “incorrect” ideas of,Art in the eyes of the .public.
