State College Choral Society under
the direction of Dr. T. Frederick H.
C a n d 1 y n, assistant professor of
music, in its annual winter concert
next Friday night in Chancellor's
hall at 8:30 o'clock.
Toscha Seidel, world famed violinist, will be the assisting artist, according to an announcement by
Muriel Goldberg, '38, president of
Music council.
Mr. Seidel was born in Odessa,
Russia, and displayed musical genius
from an early age. His first teacher
was Max Fiedelman, a pupil of
Leopold Auer. Later Seidel attended Sternches Conservatorium in Berlin, and, following this, studied under Auer himself.
The violinist made his debut in
Oslo, Norway, at the age of fourteen.
His fame spread over Europe and ne
toured the Continent for three years
before coming to America. Seidel's
American debut was made in Carnegie hall, New York, and here he
exceeded even the triumphs of his
European successes. Annual transcontinental tours then followed, and
then he started a world tour, including England, France, Australia, New
Zealand. Hawaii, and Central America in his journey. This was a brilliant success, and was succeeded by
another tour of Europe.

Rah, Rah-?
The sophomores have recently voiced a
desire to establish "hazing" rules for freshmen, and their wishes have been granted.
The sophomore class believes that State college is not collegiate enough, that it should
have more of the college spirit behind it.
Since this objective cannot be accomplished
by informal skirmishes the class has decided to legalize some of their ideas for rivalry, class spirit, and college spirit. The plan
which will go into effect with the class of
1942 is for the freshmen to wear caps of
their class color from September until
Christmas vacation.
The NEWS hereby extends to its readers
the opportunity to voice opinions on this
topic. Do you believe that State college
lacks fire, pep, and collegiate escapades?
Or are you one of those who believes that
State college, as a teacher training institution, should be ultra-conservative in its serious task ? Or do you believe in both, with
a middle path? If so, what is the middle
path and can it be accomplished?
If you have an idea or prejudice or ideal
regarding State as a "rah-rah" college,
write your views in a letter to us. The next
issue of the Ni:ws will contain some of these
letters. Sign your name to all communications. Anonymity will be preserved upon
request.
