que, on an island in the South
Pacific, and a Navy nurse, Ensign
Nellie Forbush. The sub-plot is
also a love story invloving a Navy
officer, Lt. Cable, and a native
Tunkanese girl.
The play opened on Broadway
in April of 1949 and ran for four
years. Some of the show tunes
which became popular are “Some
Enchanted Evening," "I’m In Love
With a Wonderful Guy,” and
“Younger Than Springtime.”
False Alarm Arouses
Women in Atherton Hall
A false fire alarm sent women
in Atherton Hall scurrying to the
doors with their belongings at
6:47 last night.
After an alarm had rung for 20
minutes, the campus patrol ap
peared on the scene and rescued
the women in distress by turning
off the alarm.
It was later discovered that the
glass in the fire alarm box on the
third floor had been broken.

ing table a student puts his name
and course on a white card. He
does this for each course.
The cards are checked so that
students will not register for
courses which he is not qualified
to take. Dr. McKinley said that
under the pre-registration system
these white cards will be sent
to Recreation Hall and to the class
card controllers there.
These cards will give the con
trollers an advance notice of mis
takes in the estimates made from
pre-registration, according to Dr.
McKinley. If seniors should
change their mind and not take a
course, it can be opened to lower
classmen Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning, he said.
This will also give the con
trollers an advance warning of an
unpredicted rush for one course.
In this event additional sections
will have to be opened, Dr. Mc-
Kinley said.
Dr. McKinley termed the plan
“a pilot to see if we are smart
enough to estimate the registra
tion. Adjustments can 1 be made
according to the white cards that
come to Recreation Hall, he said.
Dr. McKinley emphasized the
point that pre-registration does
not allow seniors to register late,
nor does it give them a choice
of hours beyond that which they
originally had. Many seniors will
find themselves registered for less
attractive hours than they ex
pected, Dr. McKinley added.
Student preference for certain
hours has often left many sections
with less attractive hours not
1 filled, he explained.
THE TASTE IS GREAT!
futeFtipTAREYTON
Hit Discs, R-and-B
Tops With Students
Student taste in popular music at the University seems
to fall in line with that popular over the nation, with special
attention given to rhythm-and-blues and progressive jazz
numbers,
This is the consensus of interviews with students in the
Lion’s Den of the Hetzel Un:
jockey.
Although students’ taste in pop
ular music seems to correlate with
national polls such as Billboard
Magazine and The Hit Parade,
some recordings are more, or less,
popular on campus than else
where in the country.
'Cry Me a River' Popular
The Jan. 14 edition of Billboard
magazine places Julie London’s
“Cry Me a River” in the 23rd
spot. However, according to the
number of times it is requested
on station WMAJ and. played on
the HUB jukebox, the song has
a much higher rating than the
average over the country. The
same is probably true for the
Platters’ version of “The Great
Pretender,” which is rated 10th by
the magazine.
Steve Fishbein, senior in journ
alism from State College, better
known as the “old professor” on
WMAJ’s Groovology 54, sees the
students’ taste in popular music
as “popular records in general
with a sprinkling of the better
R-and-B and progressive ones.”
Many persons interviewed poin-

ion Building and a local disc
ted out that they liked “true rhy
thm and blues,” but that they
didn’t care for the “commercial
ized R-and-B numbers.”
A senior, known around campus
for his ability with the drums,
said he disliked R-and-B and feels
that it has been brought to Penn
State by the present freshmen and
sophomores. He seems to think
that the majority of upperclass
students prefer “music with a
beat,” or progressive.
Billboard's Top Ten
The next time you’re taking a
coffee break in the HUB, chances
are you will hear the'songs rated
in the top ten by Billboard played
the most.
They are, in order: “Memories
Are Made of This,” Dean Martin;
"Sixteen Tons,” Tennessee Ernie
Ford; “I Hear You Knocking,”
Gale Storm; “He,” A 1 Hibbler;
“Love and Marriage,” Frank Sin
atra; “Autumn Leaves," Roger
Williams; “Only You,” The Platt
ers; “It’s Almost Tomorrow,”
Dream Weavers; and “The Great
Pretender,” The Platters.
