Penn State Series: A Real Possibility When Dr. William B. Edgerion's lecture on the Russian way of life attracted a surprisingly large crowd last week, it wps a sure indication of two things: One is that students and faculty in general are interested in the cultural aspects of the University. The other, that the University need not import people to lead the move to estab lish some sort of cultural series. All-University Cabinet officially acknowl edged the lack of emphasis on cultural life at the University last spring when it recommend ed to the Board of Trustees the establishment of a Penn State series. The series, to have been supported by a 50 cent fee per semester per student, was intended to bring the best available talent in the musical and cultural world to the campus to every student. When Cabinet endorsed this extensive plan it did so without giving adequate consideration to the seating problem on campus and the dif ficulties in booking top performers. It is mainly for these reasons that the plan has not been enacted. And it is because of these difficulties that we offer a similar, but less elaborate plan to stimulate interest in the music-cultural aspect of University life. The University, boasting size as well as diver sity, could not only sponsor and support a Penn Stale series—it could actually be the Penn Stale series. There are enough qualified and well-known lecturers and performers among the faculty and even among the student body to constitute a local music-cultural series. Every year music and drama groups sponsor student productions of near-professional stand ard. And if these groups, Chapel Choir, Men’s Needed: Shorter, More Spirited Customs Blase freshmen mixed with apathetic upper classmen yesterday as Customs slipped into its usual apathetic niche. Hello Walk was silent. Bareheaded frosh strolled casually along Senior Walk. Shouts of “Button Frosh” were conspicuous by their infrequency. After a fairly active first week of Customs enforcement the program came to a near stand still. This is not unusual; it happens every year. If history repeats itself Customs will have died for all practical purposes last Friday when the freshmen doffed their dinks for the Week end. Probably one way to regenerate enthusiam into this year’s Customs program would be to declare another joint customs day. Such days are always good-for laughs. The upperclassmen and women can have a lot of fun harassing the opposite sex in the fresh man class. But lha main purpose of Customs is not to razz the frosh. Rather, the idea is to acquaint the newcomers with Penn State traditions and Today CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ORGANIZATION. 7 p.m., 804 Old COLLEGIAN BUSINESS MEETING, 7:80 p.ra., Collegian lEC DISCUSSION LEADERS, 7 p.m., 217 Hetsel Union MEN'S DEBATE TEAM. 7 p.m.. 818 Spark* PENN STATE JAZZ CLUB, 7 p.m., 110 Electrical En- eineerina PENN STATE YOUNG REPUBLICAN CLUB. 7 p.m.. 212 Hetzel Union ...

Finance Students Eligible for Grant A scholarship to aid students majoring in finance has. been es tablished by the Pennsylvania Credit Union League of Harris burg. The scholarship, which provides $250 annually, has been named the Lee D. Devo Memorial' Schol arship in memory of Lee D. De voe, who served as president of the League until his death last year. Sophomores majoring in fi nance in the College of Business Administration will be eligible to apply for their junior year. THE, DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Glee Club, Concert Blue Band, Orchestra, Women’s Chorus, Thespians, and Players could combine their talents to plan a nine-month series of performances in conjunction with lec turers the University could have a varied series. Thera would be little difficulty in booking such events since most of these organizations already sponsor one or more performances a year. Rather, the difficulty would lie in the co ordination of a number of performances along with lectures to form some sort of series pat tern. v By using all local talent and charging no student activity fee the problem of seating would be partially eliminated. In the first place, campus music and drama groups usually give the same performance more than once, and to ask them to do the same .thing, were they to take part in a local series, would not be unfair. If the group or individual lecturer would consent to appear twice, probably as many stu dents as were interested m that particular per formance would be able to attend—thus pro viding for adequate seating. The fact that no student fee would be charged would keep the series from being exculsively for the enjoy ment of a minority —those able to find seats in Schwab auditorium. If a. local musical-cultural series were success ful, that is, stimulated enough student and fac ulty interest to justify its continuance, over a period of years it might expand to include im ported performers. Since Cabinet has recognized the need for a planned system of performances and the Uni versity can supply the performers, the remain ing question is merely one of co-ordination. —Jackie Hudgins help them meet people by creating a friendly spirit on campus. Customs has failed these main objectives. Freshmen do not make friends when they are trying their utmost to avoid upperclassmen because they are not wearing their required garb. Upperclassmen do npt instill into the freshmen a sense of pride in the University's traditions when they ignore them on campus and allow themselves lo be out-cheered at the football games. Such a situation as now exists does much to harm school spirit. The freshman-sophomore tug-of-war the Freshman Customs Board is considering, would probably be the best way to save this year's customs program from a total death. But even if a tug-of-war is decided upon it will not remedy the harm done by lax enforce ment and participation. When considering next year's program the hoard would be wise if it planned a shorter Customs program which huilt up lo a climax. The best way. this could be accomplished would be lo have a one-week Customs period capped by a tug-of-war which could possibly precede the first pep rally. —The.

Tomorrow Little Man on Campus "This <is a poor class to take at 8 o'clock— so noisy ya can't sleep.'* Business Feels Affects President's Illness Creates Problems By J. M. ROBERTS JR. Associated Press News Analyst If there is ever any doubt as to which world figure touches the lives of most, people, it is always resolved when something happens to the President of the United States, Business gasps, as reflected by the American and British finan cial markets yesterday. There is never any hesitation : the American President always represents a nation which has demonstrated its sympathy for all mankind. The impact of other rulers and other governors of other states varies from time to time. Some rulers have become ill and even died to the cheers of large sec tions of the world. But not Amer‘ ica's. Two questions became upper most when President Dwight D. Eisenhower became ill ■' on Saturday. Who would run the government, and what would happen to his program if ha is invalided for any great length of lime? The answers, are still specula tive, much depending on just how weir the President gets along. There is no fixed precedent for continuing the business of his of fice when he is unable to db so, nor any law about who can sign for him. Heretofore, in the cases of Garfield -and Wilson, ■ both of whom were worse off while still alive than Eisenhower appears to be, ..the vice president' and the White House staff muddled along with the help of the - Cabinet, which carried much of the re sponsibility. The present situation is further complicated, or at least it could be complicated,'by. the fact that there is a Republican administra tion and a .Democratic Congress. The record of the Democratic con gressional leaders so far, however, suggests strongly that, the world position of the nation-being what it is, they will not run the risks attendant on muddying the wa ters now. The prospects axe that gov ernment functions can. rock along for quits a while, with the President's policies being carried forward. The absence of the President, from-the world political scon* at this moment, however, can not be minimised. Since hie trip . to Genova ho has replaced the free world's normal diplomatic functionaries as the figure to whom people looked for the conduct of negotiations with Soviet Russia. There is, for in stance, the matter of America's reply to Premier Nicolai Bul ganin's recent note about dis armament. If made without, the President, it will lose much of its weight. The whole tenor of American ■ } TUESDAY! iSCFTEMMR 98S, By Bihler in the outpouring of sympathy, for politics is of course changed by the President’s illness. Regardless of hOW well he recovers now, it seems highly unlikely that he will seek the second term which many political observers have been willing to concede him.
