North Campu
Arts
By NORMAN WILLIAMS
The impressive new Penn
State Arts Center at the north
end of campus- will be ready
early in 1965.
The Arts Center is located in
Hort Woods north of the Helen
Eakin Eisenhower Chapel (built
in 1955). The three new buildings
will form a quadrangle with the
chapel building around a central
landscape court. A number of
trees were preserved during the
construction to enhance the ap
pearance of the court and gen
eral setting.
Designed by Eshbach, Pullin
ger, Stevens and Bruder Archi
tects and Engineers of Phila
delphia, plans for the three
structures were drawn up in re
lation to the existing chapel by
location, scale, and material.
The Arts I Building (Music)
and Arts II Building (Theater)
are both two - story buildings
while Arts 111 (Lecture) has one
floor. All contain partial base
ments and are made of fire-re
sistant concrete and brick.
Floors in general are finished
with asphalt tile with rubber in
large lecture rooms. Ceilings of
corridors and small spaces are
made of noncombustible acous
tic tile or plaster.
The exterior of the recently
completed Arts I Building is of
red brick with exposed concrete
columns and spanrel beams. Its
floors are made of concrete and
the high roof of the music lec
ture room of prestressed con
crete slabs.
Many Rooms
The music building provides
department offices, a library,
classrooms and visual aid re
cording and listening rooms. It
contains special studios for in-

★SURVEY AND STUDENT OPINION contacted student govern
ments of twenty big universities to learn how they organize
their class governments. Responses ranged from no class gov
ernment at Ohio State to class centered government at Penn.
★COURSE GUIDE is preparing a file on fifty popular courses
to be located in the HUB and available to all students. If the
guide is proved useful it will be greatly enlarged and possibly
published. The guide will be based on carefully prepared
questionnaires evaluating material, presentation, and in
struction.
★SPIRIT COMMITTEE flew a Class of '67 banner at the Mary
land game and distributed Beat Pitt last weekend.
★SOPHOMORE CLASS WEEKEND will be February 26-28. Dur
ing the week the HUB will present an exhibit of sophomore

that evening, a nationally known speaker, possibly Governor
Scranton will address students in Schwab Auditorium.

Jazz Club President Lauds
Fall Season, Gives Preview
Commenting on the accom
plishments of the Jazz Club
thus far in the season, the
club’s president, Nathan Cobb,
said this has been “probably the
most active and successful term
the group has had,” and he
gave a preview of plans for
coming terms.
Sunday night’s Jazz C 1 b
Benefit raised approximately
$125 for the WDFM transmitter
fund, and was a “smoothly run
show, with excellent music,’
Cobb said.
The performances of the Jazz
Spokesmen and the Jazz Club
Big Band were taped, and the
tapes will be sent as part of
applications for these groups to
participate in the Villanova In
tercollegiate Jazz Festival,
scheduled for the middle of
March.
Cobb said many of the mu
sicians who played in the bene
fit considered the audience “ex
cellent.” but added that 110 was
a “disappointing size crowd for
this caliber of music.”
Run-Down
In a run-down of other Jazz
Club activities, Cobb said the
;two major concerts, by The
jlonious Monk and Mose Allison,
jwere successful and the latter
!was “one of the best ever
done here.”
Cobb said the Jazz Club
was happy to take over support
of the “very good” Big Band
from its original sponsors, Phi
Mu Alpha, who had not been
"too interested in its success or
its future.”
Other notable accomplish
ments include the joint estab
lishment along with the Folk
lore Society of the This V That,
the Friday night jazz and folk

4 Rooms
Each of the four lecture rooms
contained in the building is
a seating capacity of 400 and are

central service core and can be

50 Records
Fifty new records have been
added to the club’s collection in
the HUB, and a newsletter has
been organized, with the first
issue set for publication next
term. The club also subscribes
to six foreign and domestic jazz
magazines, available in the
HUB reading room
Cobb expressed hope that the
newly-increased jazz program
ming by local radio stations will
continue to grow in the future.
This term Cobb began airing a
Monday night jazz program on
WDFM, and Jazz Club vice
president for promotion Steven
Corn has a Thursday night
jazz section of Groovology on
WMAJ.
Cobb said future plans include
a big jazz weekend Jan. 14-17,
with a concert by the Max
Roach Quartet and Abby Lin
coln set for Jan. 16, and
probably a film, a lecture or
discussion, and a jazz emphasis
at the This ’n’ That to provide
some jazz event for each eve
ning of the long and evenful
weekend.
Lecture Series
Also in the offing is a series]
of lectures by out-of-town jazz
critics and workshops to give
more musicians at the Univer
sity a chance to display their
talents at the This ’n’ That.
Ed Committee
Cobb said the responsibility
for this series has been taken
on by the Jazz Club education
committee because the music
department at the University
has shown “complete apathy to-

"Today we give our thanks, most of all for the
ideals of honor and faith we inherit from our
forefathers - for the decency of purpose, stead
fastness of resolve and strength of will, for the
courage and the humility, which they possessed
and which we must seek very day to emulate. As
we express our gratitude, we must never forget
that the highest appreciation is not to utter words
hut to live by them .. "
