songs; Mr. George Barrere, flute, and
Mr. Arthur Whiting, harpsichord, arc
men of world-wide reputation.
College students will be admitted

PLAIN FACTS
Almost every year it has been necessary to preach honesty and square
dealing to the student body because
of cheating, stealing and loss of student self respect. The number of
cases involved varies. For the most
part the number is small, but not
small enough.
Within the last week Dr. Brubacher
had to give a warning to the entire
student Dody that cribbing in examinations would be punishable by expulsion. Within the same week a
package of U. S. mail was takon from
the mail box by someone other than
the owner. A bad start for a new
college year.
The News aims to give facts not
moral lessons. The above are facts
which must bo dealt with. Tho result
of the dealing will determino tho publishing of more facts of the same
kind. It is your publication. You
are responsible for what is printed
therein.
Fountain, Footlights and Senator
Feature in last meeting
Y. W. C. A. has gone in for stage
settings, and dramatic effect. Standing in the glare of the footlights, with
a fountain playing behind her, and
a blue spotlight directed at her face,
Priscilla Jones conducted a most
unique song-serviqe Tuesday afternoon, November 6. After one song
about "healing waters", Miss Jones
suggested that less appropriate subjects bo chosen.
Meanwhile the distracted leader of
the meeting, Miriam Snow, rushed
about trying to locate the speaker,
Senator Wisewall. He finally appeared, just as Miss Jones' arm was
getting lame, and gave a very timely
and interesting talk on political parties. Ho showed why they are necessary, and why levery voter should
affiliate with one or the other of the
great parties. His speech was greatly enjoyed, although it might not
have seemed so to an outsider, when
half the audience walked out at the
ringing of the 3:50 bell. Taken
from any angle, this Election Day
meeting wus an unusual one.

State College has a leading rival of
the great protean artist in Agnes

students are agreed that a comparable actress is yet to be found in
these parts.
It would not bo fair to attempt to
put in script an appreciation of Miss
Futtercr's tri-character impersonation
of Keith, Larry and Wanda of John
Galsworthy's drama. It was Miss Futtercr's first public appearance, so to
speak, in the student assembly and
that in itself created a condition adding to the unusualness of the acting.
Probably because the selection was
not particularly appropriate to the
audience, it is the opinion of many
that Miss Futterer might be more
pleasing in lighter drama.
