The Hard Road to
Wher. th>- Pla>ei.-' production. "Ruddigore”
open;: tins weekend in Schwab Auditorium,
nioie than “just another play” will be seen by
University students.
"Ruddigore,” which v. as prepared and will be
piesented by the integrated elforts of the School
of Arts, represents a unity of the arts which is
desperately needed at the University.
"Hie School of Arts was established in 1956
and is composed of fhe three component depart
ments of music, art. and theatre arts and the
four affiliated departments of architecture, art
education, music education and home arts. It
was started with the hope of giving the arts
their rightful recognition at the University and
to make them a more centralized part of campus
life—but this has not been done.
Several manifestations of this desired "uni
fication of the arts” have been achieved through
the prouuctions of "Mikado.'’ and "Ruddigore”
and the opening of the library art room in the
Pat tee Library. But oecause of the great ele
ment of separation that exists, it is practically
impossible for the arts to function efficiently
as one group.
Rumors of a concentrated center of art on cam
pus have been circulating for years, but nothing
has been done about it. The center would not
only bring the art departments under the same
roof, but it would also supply needed space,
equipment, and other facilities.
A walk through Carnegie Hall quickly shows
the crowded conditions under which music stu
dents ore forced to work. A lock of practice
rooms has resulted in students practicing in the

Pul that book back! This could be said fre
quently by library officials.
Several hundred books disappear from lhe
Pattee Library each year. The University is in
filtrated with either dishonest or careless stu
dents
Wi find such a lack of idealism and the
selfi; hness on the part of students to be disgust
ing. Books in the library are for the use of the
entire student body, noi tar a self selected few.
Books are the focal point of education, and this
being an institution of education, they should
be regarded with respect by the student body.
Every time a student lakes a book from the
library and doesn’t return it he deprives some
other student, or several other students, of the
priviledge of reading the book. This is selfish.
According to Ralph W. MeComb. University
librarian, many of the unreturned books are
probably kept by careless or lazy students who
just don’t go to the trouble of returning them.
We f-el thal this is -ij excuse, and that these
students are equally as guilty as those who de
liberately take books.
Students who have such a lack of respect for
books as the center of learning have no place in
an educational institution.
Wan**; Both Views
TO THE EDITOR: One ol the greatest guaran
tee.-. of freedom of thought is the press. Un
fortunately. here wiiu only - one newspaper,
both sides of a question through competition of
two papers is not present. Thus, only one view
is presented in controversial matters—a view,
while by coincidence or choice has been bene
ficial to the Campus Party for the past two
years. One often assumes anything in print to
be true—not realizing that the matter being
presented is merely opinion and there is no
guarantee that this opinion is without prejudice.
Whether or not this opinion is truth is highly
debatable.
Thus. I would like to take this opportunity
to clarity what I consider to be an erroneous
opinion: that is. the alleged smearing of William
Johnson Thursday night before Cabinet.
Cabinet, having appointed Johnson as Elec
tions Committee chairman would naturally be
'oathe to fire him. This would be admitting a
mistake in judgment. Cabinet, being the highest
governing body, does not make mistakes. If they
did. as Congress or the President of the United
States, there would be a need for judicial re
view. the Supreme Court —something which a
majority of Cabinet is against.
I had hoped to receive the chance of being
assumed innocent until judged guilty; an as-

hallo during the daytime and has made it neces
sary for many to practice at night.
Art students face equally crowded circum
stances in Temporary Building, “the slum sec
tion ot the class buildings.” Here too is found
a lack of necessary space and equipment.
Students majoring in theatre arts can be
found rehearsing not only on the stage, but also
.n the basement, the loft, the lobbies, the Green
Hoorn and in offices of Schwab Auditorium.
Many are also compelled lo practice in the
Little Theatre and classrooms in Old Main. Pro
fessors in theatre arts find it difficult lo sched
ule work and rehearsal space since in some
cases different rehearsal rooms must be made
available for several student directors at the
same time.
Another hampering element affecting this de
partment is the use of the auditorium by various
groups, both on and off campus. Set building
i'or plays is limited in the day time since classes
are conducted in the auditorium and night time
building is hindered by organizational use of
the auditorium. During the present production,
“Ruddigore,” the auditorium was available to
the cast only 11 nights, which includes both
rehearsal and presentation time.
The only possible solution to these problems
is an art center which should include recital
rooms, a practice theatre, classrooms, art studios,
a concert hall, and a small auditorium.
The Hetzel Union Building was constructed
lo unify extra-curricular activities, so why not
an art center to unify cultural activities?
It is very expensive to replace stolen or miss
ing books. Every cent spent on replacing books is
money that could be used to buy additional
books. The irresponsible student who takes
books also deprives students of having additional
research material.
The suggestion that some students take books
without signing or by signing a false name be
cause they prefer not to have the trouble of
returning them is slightly ridiculous. Not ridicu
lous ir. the sense that it could not be true, but
ridiculous in that no student in his right mind
could be so irresponsible.
Another problem seems to be carelessness
with the handling of books. The library mysl
;pend considerable sums each year in repairing
books. The amount could be reduced if students
Would take better care of the books they borrow
from the library.
Students who have a sense of responsibility
to the University, to the library, and to their
fellow students will not damage or take books
from the library. We hope that in the future this
will apply to all students.
Next lime you think of taking a book or being
careless with books—DON’T.
sumption analagous lo all government, but un
fortunately not lo Penn Slate Student Govern
ment Instead, my view that a biased Elections
Committee official is not lo be tolerated in an
election was immediately assumed ridiculous
and thus my grounds were ignored. Whether my
grounds of faulty registration, lack of direction,
etc. by Mr. Johnson were ignored or wrong—
the Lion Party should have received objective
judgment, and at the very least—courteous
attention. This was not the case!
The Lion Party was accused of threatening a
“dirty election.” Since our chief aim is the
elimination of potential “dirt,” then it does not
•easonably follow that such a proposed state
ment could have ever been made.
Cabinet has many capable office holders. Un
fortunately. these people are consistently out
shouted by lhe select few who consider them
selves to be competent and judicious enough to
"interpret" what is best for the students.
In conclusion, my aim is not to convince the
-tudents that the Lion Party-is right in con
demning Elections Committee’s actions over the
past two years, but rather to illustrate the fact
that in any controversial situation—two or more
views do exist! All we ask is that in the future
both viewpoints be presented so that the stu
dent body will have the opportunity to judge
for themselves what is right.

'Round the Rim
Controversies - Collegian
Campaign and Otherwise
With the political pot boiling, even the Collegian has
gotten its fingers burned on a few issues. I’ll attempt to sooth
the wounds somewhat by assuring the large contingent of
Republicans on campus that at least one person on the paper
likes ‘lke’ too.
Anyone who would care t
find numerous Collegianites
sporting GOP buttons. As a mat
ter of fact Junior Boarder Bob
Franklin is seemingly in charge
of campus distribution for them.
Many people on campus at ‘.his
point 'feel that because of Her
block (bless his pointed head) and
Dubbs’ columns that Collegian is
overwhelmingly “Madly for Ad
lai.” (Dubbs considers himself a
“liberal”) “I Like Ike” myself,
and want to let all fellow Re
publicans know that I’m just con
serving ammunition for the final
battle.
Also on the political scene
Hedda Hopper has announced
that she has thrown one of
her hats in the ring for "Ike."
On the other hand rock 'n* roll
idol Elvis Presley has come out
for Stevenson. It is a matter of
opinion whether Presley's back
ing will help or hinder the
Democratic candidate.
At any rate this is one exam
ple of big business backing the
Democrats. Since Presley is sched
uled to earn over one million this
year I consider him fair game for
those taking potshots at big busi-.
ness.
Collegian has also drawn at
tacks from many corners be
cause it seems there just aren't
enough copies per day to go
around. To clarify a point
there is one Collegian printed
for approximately every two
people. This means that each
copy must be shared and that
for every person who takes a
Collegian exclusively for his
own use someone else must go
without. Enough said?
Talking about politics and hats
in the ring—l’d like to deliver a
belated bouquet to alum Mike
Rosenfield for his fine music in
the Thespians’ Homecoming
Weekend production of “Hat in
the Ring.”.Rosenfeld and his part
ner Ronald Axe are currently in
New York City trying to crack
show business. If they keep up the
good work and get the breaks
Penn State may someday have
its own version of Rodgers and
Hammerstein.
On Broadway keep your eyes

one of the most humorous and

time. It concerns the wild antics,
escapades and eccentricities of an
enchanting middle-aged hellion.
She sails through the South, New
York City ana even . the Ivy

wake. The popularity of the book
is evidenced by its 83 week stand

The play enjoyed sell-out
openings in Wilmington and
Philadelphia and its New York
stint is sold-out for some time.
The book is suggested as a com

able to take in the Broadway

cheating yourself out of five
hours of solid laughter if you
