By NANCY SHOWALTER The Penn State Marching Blue Band, which is popularly referred to by students as the "Blue Band", performs and practices together only during football season. It is composed of 96 members and a drum major. It automatically dis solves after football season and many members join the Penn State Concert Blue Band. This band practices twice a week throughout the school year, and performs on and ,off campus during the second semester. The Concert Band is composed of 95 members, 24 women and 71 men at the present time. Selections by 4ichard Rodgers and Jerome Kern were played by this band at the Swedish gym meet held recently. No woman can be a member of the Marching Blue Band. The main reason for this is the phys ical stamina required for the rate of speed at which the band march es, and the many hours spent practicing. Tradition also has it that the organization be all male. The Concert Band will hold two concerts on campus during the spring semester, one March 21 in Schwab Auditorium and the second May 30 on the steps of the Fred Lewis Pattee Library. This band also makes a two-day tour in April, consisting of four con certs, usually made westward through Pennsylvania. In addi tion, other off-campus concerts are planned for this spring. At these performances, the boys wear the same blue uniforms worn by the Marching Band, and the girls wear black dresses. The selection of a Blue Band member is highly competitive, since only 95 can be chosen each year for each organization from the hundreds of entries. Both the Marching Blue Band and the Concert Blue Band are directed by James W. Dunlop, associate professor of music edu cation. Druid Tapping Draws Near For 20 Frosh, Soph Athletes By PEGGY McCLAIN When spring approaches, the Druid tapping season also draws near. This semester a maximum of 20 second, third, and fourth se mester men may be tapped for Druids, sophomore men's hat society. Druids was originally founded on the Penn State campus in 1907. With a total of 15 members, the group was begun for the avowed purpose of promoting sportsman ship in athletic contests and pro moting also, in all honorable ways, the welfare of the University. It is a national organization and has chapters at the University of Pitts burgh, Carnegie Institute of Tech nology. Washington and Jefferson College, and the University of Delaware. 20 Present Limit Today the organization selects members from second, third, and fourth semester men who have been outstanding in some field of sports. Maximum membership is 20 and is by invitation only. No man is ineligible for his race, creed, or religion. Action taken by Druids in past years has centered mainly around athletics and the University ath letic policy.

ST) . TE 0011EGE PENNMVANtA Court Fines 3 Students In Violations The Traffic Court last night charged three persons $5 in fines, and recommended that their cars be sent home. Two of these three persons had seven violations recorded against them; the other person had five. In these three cases the persons asked that their fines be deferred for payment to the Dean of Men's office. Six other persons who had three violations or more under extenu ating circumstances, were sent to the dean's office on a general recommendation. These persons will probably be placed on pro bation, James Dunlap, Traffic Court chairman, said. A probation in this case is a special Traffic Court probation, not to be confused with a proba tion issued by the dean of men. Four persons, of the 20 cases recorded by the Collegian report er, had 'parking violations record ed because they had let their friends or parents park illegally. Dunlap pointed out that the stu dent who has the car on campus will be held responsible for the car regardless of who is driving it. In regards to parking on cam- I pus, Dunlap pointed out that no student is allowed to park on campus without a permit for one of the parking areas. A total of 59 violations were recorded by the Traffic Court. The court collected $l7 in fines. Russian Book Lists Available "A Monthly List of Russian Ac cessions" and "An East European Accessions List," two bibliograph ical guides in various research are now available at the University Library. The 250-page, monthly lists are published by the Library of Con gress. They include a complete alphabetical listing by subject matter of every book and the contents of every periodical pub lished in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, which has been received by the Library of Con gress and some 60 other American libraries. The combined lists offer complete information on material to buy a new lion suit for the campus mascot. Last semester Druids initiated a program in Rec reation Hall called "Preview of Sports," which was a series of talks by, coaches and student ath letes. Perhaps one of the most re markable moves made by the group was its attack in 1950 on the University football policy. In March of that year coach Joseph Bedenk had resigned his position, leaving the team without a coach. In opposition to what the group called -the administration's lax at tempts to replace Bedenk, Druids sent the administration a 450-word letter urging prompt action on se lecting a big-time football coach and circulated for 5000 names a petition to "Act Now." In urging this action the group Made Policy Attack Jackson Names 116 To Ag Dean's List Thirteen students in the College of Agricultitre have maintained a scholastic average of 3 for the past semester, Dean Lyman E.
