700 Community
Concert Series
Tickets Sold
Seven hundred tickets to the
Community Concert Series have
been sold, Woodrow W. Bierly of
the Public Information office, an
nounced yesterday.
Memberships to the series have
been selling slower this year than
in any of the previous five cam
paigns, David H. McKinley / pres
ident of the Assocition, said. He
expressed the hope that the goal
of 1230 memberships will be
reached.
The Philharmonic Piano Quar
tet has been scheduled for Oct.
22 and Virtuosi di Roma foe Jan
uary, but the complete program
cannot be arranged until after
the dote of the campaign, when
the budget for the series can be
determined.
McKinley pointed out that stu
dent support of the series has
been lagging during the past few
years, filthough reports made at
the student encampment ex
pressed concern about the need
for more concerts on campus.
The memberships are available
through student workers kin the
various residence halls but also
may be obtained at the headquar
ters in the lobby of the Hetzel
Union Building. The campaign
will close at noon Saturday.
Chem-Phys Council
Votes Unanimously
For Penn Holiday
The Chemistry-Physics Student
Council Wednesday voted unani
mously in favor of a half holiday
on Oct. 29, the day of the Penn
State-Pennsylvania football game
at Philadelphia.
This Council is the third one to
favor this action. Liberal Arts
Student Council and West Halls
Council previously voted in fav
or of the half holiday.
The Council planned tentative
ly to hold its student-faculty mix
er, Tuesday, Nov. 1 in the Hetzel
Union ballroom. It was announced
that the faculty banquet would
be Nov. 16, at the Eutaw House.
William Childs, council presi
dent, made the following appoint
ments to student-faculty mixer
committee: Joy Fisher, senior in
chemistry from Reading, James

38 Students Withdraw
A total of 38 students have
withdrawn from the University
since the beginning of the semes
ter.
Reasons given for withdrawing
were: personal 20, transferring
six, scholastic one, illness two,
financial three, and others six.
In 1874 the University acquired
Its first librarian. W. A. Buck
hout, professor of geology, zool
ogy and botany, was placed in
charge of the books and reading
room.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
The plan is aimed at allowing
independent men to attend single
concerts- rather than buy a sea
son ticket to the concerts. Tickets
are sold only on a season-ticket
basis.
The proposed plan calls for
AIM to contribute one fifth of
the total cost of the tickets and
each of the councils to contribute
one fifth.
Cost to be Divided
The total cost of 30 season tick
ets is $150; therefore, each coun
cil and AIM will contribute $3O.
This will leave a block of 30
tickets open for each .concert date
which will be available to inde
pendent men. John Carlson, presi'-'
dent of West Halls Council. said
he thought that the tickets would
probably sell for about $2 each.
However. a definite price has not
been set.
Three of the councils held spe
cial meetings last night to decide
the Community Concert issue.
Nittany Council President George
Mauler polled his council by per
sonal. contact and reported un
animous approval. TIM. originally
voted to appropriate $9O for the
ticket fund, but when it was
pointed out that the other councils
would be contributing on an equal
basis they reverted their appro
priation to $36.
Student Attendance Declining
Carlson told the members of
his council that' in past years the
attendance at the Community'
Concerts has been approximately
50 per cent townspeople and 50
per cent students, and in many
cases the townspeople outnumber
ed the students by far. He said
he felt that thiS new plan would
serve to bring the students back
into a Community Concert pro
gram from which they have been
missing for the past several
years.
Bruce Lieske, AIM president,
said last night that Harry Mar
tini, AIM treasurer, wilt buy the
tickets. Lieske expects to get up a
definite system for selling the
tickets by Monday. He said it
was likely that the tickets will
be sold on a first-come-first
,serve basis.
The Philharmonic Piano Quar
tet will open the Community Con
cert series Oct. 22 in Schwab
Auditorium.
Dungaree Drag
Corsage Contest
Challenges Coeds
Ribbons, glue, odds and ends.
and ingenuity are all that are
necessary to enter the Dungaree
Drag corsage contest.
The Dungaree Drag, sponsored
by Cwens, sophomore women's
hat society, will be held from 9
p.m. to midnight Saturday in the
ballroom of the Hetzel. Union
Building.
Judges of the 'Drag' corsage
contest, an annual event, will,
award prizes for the funniest and
most unusual corsages.
To facilitate dancing, however,
the committee has decided that
the corsages may not be worn on
the wrist or around the neck, but
must be the customary shoulder
type.
A door prize will be given at
the dance. Several novelty dances
have been planned.
Men Vacate
2 Pollock
'Dormitories
Pollock dormitories one and
two have been vacated for ef
ficiency reasons, Otto E. Mueller,
department of housing director,
said yesteay.
Men livin rd g in these halls have
been moved into other residences
because of the poorer condition
of Pollock one and two. Inferior
conditions have occurred for these,
reasons: 1. They are located near-1
er the dining hall than the other,
buildings and have had a higher;
number of occupants over the]
years. 2. They are located at the
bottom of a hill where water
drainage accumulates. Casement
windows were installed in them
instead of the usual double-hung
type and have not proved as dur
able.
Mueller pointed out that all the
Nittany and Pollock dormitories
are war surplus with approxi
mately a ten year utility period.
Their longevity was to expire in
1952. They have served well, and
will continue to be useful as long
as they are needed, Mueller. said.
The dormitories vacated were,
an aid while used as staging;
areas, but are too much in need;
of extensive repair if they are to;
be used for the entire school year.]
Tentative plans are to remove;
the Nittany and Pollock housing,
facilities after the proposed wom
en's dormitories are ready for use.

I Steady. Decline
In Cold Epidemic
The lowest number of cold
cases treated at the dispensary
in the past two weeks was re
ported yesterday by dispensary
officials.
Approximately 90- students re
ceived treatment at the dispen
noon. Of these, only 33 were suf
fering from colds and sore
throats.
Officials at the` dispensary
pointed out that yesterday's - low
number does not mean that the
cold bug is disappearing from
the campus. The current 'cold
wave' is expected to plague Uni
versity students until the end of
the month.

Women Requested ,to Move
Extra Furniture From Rooms
Women living in residence halls have been requested by the
department of housing to remove drying racks, clothes trees, and
portable wardrobes from their rooms.
Additional furniture such as typewriter stands, record players
and stands, and book shelves man—
be used in those residence hall s
which do not hive 'such modern
facilities as Simmons, McElwain,
and Thompson hall s, Otto E.
Mueller, director of housing, said.
Currently, any extra furnishing
in a residence hall must be there /
with special permission from the
department of housing. Offenders
of this rule will be asked tei lend
the articles home, Mueller said.
Students have been bringing
additional furniture from home
even though they have been in
structed 'that the rooms .are al-'
ready furnished,' he said. Many
women forget \them at the end
of the term or ask for storage
space. This is impossible because
most rooms are used in the sum
mer for conference groups.
The housing department has
been trying to get a good under
standing of the needs of the stu
dents, Mueller said, and is 'think
ing of providing rooms with com
bination bookshelVes and drYing
racks. These plans are not def
inite.
