University Raises Resistant Grains New winter wheat and winter oat varieties, available for plant ing in the fall of 1961, were shown recently during the small grains field day at the Centre Hall Agronomy Research Farm of the State Agricultural Experiment Station. The new wheat, Redcoat, is the first for Pennsylvania with com bined resistance to Hessian fly, mildew, leaf and stem rust, and moderate resistance to smut. Red coat outyields other recommend ed varieties in bushels per acre, according to Robert F. Pfeifer,i small grains breeder at the Uni-. versity. The new winter oat is Norline. This new variety shows promise for southeastern Pennsylvania, because of its improved winter hardiness and better straw qual ity, reported Harold G.

Reviewer The front page of the July 17th issue of the New York Times Book Review carried the banner headline: "Query: . "What are the critics good for," The Times is not the first to ask this question. Much has been written about the role of the critic in the the atre. What is his purpose? Is he necessary? How should he judge a play? Should he possess the power which (especially in New York) he does? That the drama critic or re viewer is a human being with personal likes and dislikes just like anyone else is too easily for gotten. When judging a play he ; must use his, own sense of taste land seek to satisfy his own likes.

Lumumba named Morocco, Tunisia, Ethi opia, Ghana. Guinea, the United Arab Republic, Sudan, Ceylon, Liberia, Mali. Burma, India, Af ghanistan and Lebanon. Though Lumumba's letter speci fied Katanga in calling for the withdrawal of white U.N. troops, his new press attache, Serge Michel, told newsmen the demand was for white Hoops to be pulled out of the whole country. Michel is a left-wing French man who supports the Algerian rebel movement. Lumumba was closeted a considerable time with Michel, but apparently did not consult his Cabinet before issuing ,the blast at liammarskiold. . THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA ridiculous. Ho should attempt to give the reader an idea of what it was like to be a mem ber of the audience and how en joyable the evening was and not be merely (as we ourselves have just recently learned) a grader of the component parts of the production: That the critic is necessary is not true. All of us would no doubt be happier if there were never people to judge our performances —on or off the stage. Why then does he exist? He exists simply as a service to the readers of a newspaper or mag azine. The critic need not have the same tastes as the reader to offer this service. We believe that the reader will, having read a re view prior to seeing a show, de cide whether his theatrical likes', or dislikes agree with that of the critic. There must he people who when when reading Brooks At kinson's reviews in the Times de cide to see a show because he did not like it and th•3y have found their tastes to be the opposite of his. This is the reviewer's service to his publFc. Atkinson and his six co horts who form the New York theatre critics' corps--has been accused of wielding too much power in deciding the fate of Broadway offerings. No one would attempt to deny that when these seven men con demn a production it is usually fated to fold quickly, although there have been exceptions. SOur conscience is clear we have lit tle if any effect on the fate of shows.) Then what is the justification for the power they possess?

Just as in politics, the theatre is subjtct to the bandwagon effect with ev eryone out to get tickets for the hit show and hardly anyone willing to see the lesser successes. ' Thus, the reviewer is per forming a service for the read ers of his newspaper when he weeds out the shows the masses do not desire to . see. As a busi ness the newspaper cannot con cern itself with the effect such "weeding" has on the theatre. It can also be hoped, because the critics are for the most part tasteful men, that their remarks can improve the level of offerings on the New York stages. There is no clear-cut answer to the question of the need for, or', worth of, the drama 'critic. Each, person must decide for himself who to read and believe. As a lov-: er of the theatre we would much! prefer to see the theatre-going public see everything for itself and then decide wheihor or not it was worth the time and price.
