111 *es Blue Band
Ever Hibernate?
Did you ever wonder what happens to the Penn State Blue
Band after football season is over? It is a confusing matter, since
the Blue Band, which is the top musical unit on campus, is actually
divided into two organizations, the Penn State Marching Blue Band
and the Penn State Concert Blue
Band.

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. In 1947 the men un
dertook the task of raising money

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
