College Community Chest?
Last Friday morning a collection was taken in
assembly. It was not the first this year. On the
contrary, it came close on the heels of several others.
Various other means were used at State last week
to collect money. March of Dimes boxes were
placed throughout the school. The "Second Floor
of Draper Drive" came and went. A dance was
held Friday afternoon. All this in the name of
charity.
It is easily seen that these causes are worthy ones.
T h a t fact needs no proof. It is also realized by the
discerning observer that the method of collecting
money now used not only contains much unnecessary
duplication of effort, but is also particularly inefficient.
-The CriticThe first plays of the second
semester did not raise the standard
cf the last term. There are many
improvements in the actual stage
production that are worthy of mention.
The set for Miss Real's rather
heavy, morbid drama was an asset
to the building of the mood. For
once the lighting coordinated with
the action. Sound effects gave a
weird, mystic touch to the play. The
clock with its uneven pendulum
played one of the leading roles, and
its acting compared favorably with
that of the other characters.
We feel that top honors should go
to Vince Miller for his negation of
his own personality. This is the
best of Mr. Miller's roles to date.
We believe that a proof of good acting is a complete submersion of an
individual to the requirements of his
role. Mr. Miller is maturing in his
ability. Joe Trumbull should be commended for the fine makeup work
on Mr. Miller.
We wish that Mr. Kiley had studied the manner and actions of a
doctor before attempting an interpretation. His portrayal was too
stagey.
Mr. Soderlind lent a touch of
melodrama near the end of the play.
With more experience, he will become a polished actor.
Mr. Seifert was well cast for the
part of Death's secretary and successor. His was the missed opportunity of stepping up the tempo
enough to keep the play from lagging. His stentorian tone became
pain-ful-ly e-nun-ci-a-to-ry.
Miss Real's direction was excellent, although the final speeches
were definitely oratorical.
Miss Coarsey's offering for the
evening challenges definition. Were
it produced on Campus Day, it
would undoubtedly take first prize.
It offered an excellent opportunity
for State students to play themselves, and met popular approval on
thi., ground. The confirmed bachelor, although subtly humorous in
well-delivered innunendoes, slowed
up what should have been a fastmoving comedy. His sense of pause
was good, but should not have caused him to retard the action.
Miss Keeler's aim may not be so
good, but her indignation proved the
high point in the play. Mr. George
saved his part from no mention in
this column, by his pantomime. The
actors cannot be blamed too much
for the faults of the "play."
We refer our readers to Miss
Hutchins' article on distortion in
art in the second Issue of the Statesman, as an introduction to the noted artist, Grant Wood, who will appear at State next week. It is seldom that we are privileged to see
and hear the artistes celebres. Mr.
Wood has interpreted his native
Iowan countryside in art that is becoming increasingly familiar to the
layman and is d finitely influencing
the modern schuol of American art.
Such an opportunity should not
be missed. These famous people add
as much to our college education as
the courses in the curriculum.
Talking about artistes, did you
know that Al Kavelin is a graduate
of the Royal Verdi Conservatory of
Music in Milan, Italy? Disdaining
a career in the classics, he has become a favorite sweet "swinger."
Betty Baker, a Myskania member of
the class of '39. reports that Kavelin is "good stuff" and produces extremely danceable music.

Last Monday, the marks for the three upper classes
were released. There is always something strange and
tense about the day when the marks come out, although there is no real reason for any commotion to
be caused. Most students have a very good idea of
what they are going to get. To those people to whom
it really should matter—those students who are flunking a subject, it makes no difference at all, for they
have long since been told of their failure.
We have it, though, every year—a day of intense
excitement, a day marked by pledges running back
and forth between group house and college building
with the mail, a day of excited groups of students,
all asking or answering the query, "What did you
get?", a day of general commotion.
The most intense effect of this day is not an outward one, however. Its greatest impression is made
on the people receiving the marks.
Students
Each and every individual opens his
Anticipate
envelope, takes out the familiar yellow
Grades
cards, and although he knows well
what is on each, looks eagerly at them.
There may be a surprise in one of the grades, but
usually everything is as it has been anticipated.
Unless he is one of that handful of people whose
every grade is an "A," the student is overwhelmed
with a wry sort of remorse and disgust. He looks
at his "C plusses" and thinks sadly of how pathetically little additional work would have been needed
to convert them into "B's"—one less lecture cut,
one special topic done more thoroughly, one more
hour of study on the right subject, one afternoon in the library instead of in the Commons.
Everyone decides that it is so easy to get better
marks, that it takes such a small quantity of additional work that it is foolish not to do it.
Everyone decides something else, too. Almost
everybody in the school decides that next semester is
going to be different. Of course, no
Aim For
one is going to forsake any extraSacrificclcss curricular activities, or miss any social
Improvement life, or not play any bridge games, but
just a little less time wasted will suffice to get better marks. Everyone decides to do just
a little better.
Making the decision is about all that anyone ev3r
does. The next clay, the Commons is just as full as it
ever was; the usual students are in the library; around
the school as much time as ever is being wasted.
It is surprising how soon the disappointment
caused by a set of mediocre marks ran disappear.
It is surprising how little stick-to-itiveness the college
as a whole has.
When grades were issued Monday, it is doubtful if
more than three or four people were satisfied with
the marks that they had received. It
Perseverance is even more doubtful if more than
three or four people are doing anything
Negative
about it now, or will be doing anyQuantity
thing two weeks from now. The amazing lack of perseverance displayed here should be
noticed and should be commented on.
Perhaps we should not be too severe in our
criticism, however, of these people who cannot seem
to get started. Next semester, maybe things will be
different. Perhaps someone will decide that he is
capable of getting better marks, and will really do
something to get them. Perhaps someone will resolve
to study harder, and will really study.
It Is not too likely, but it might happen. Some
day, someone might stick to it. Not this semester,
but maybe the next. Energy might somehow overcome
sloth.
We remain to be convinced.

Today's experiment is tin experiment in the date
of publication. Tomorrow morning, upon entering
the auditorium of Page Hall for the weekly Friday
forenoon get-together, State students will be handed
still another questionnaire this time to determine
whether this experiment shall become a permanent
feature. The questionnaire will give student readers
an opportunity to show their preference as to which
day of the week the State College NKWS shall be
issued.
Today's experiment has convinced the staff that
the Thursday date is preferable from the point of
view of more adequate news coverage. In addition,
the earlier edition offers more advance notice of
the highlights of the weekend social affairs. However, the choice of the student body as indicated by
the tabulation of the questionnaires, will determine
the final decision.

It would seem that the time has come for State to
organize a college "Community Chest." It has
become desirable to substitute for these varied and
repeated collections throughout the year one concerted, intensive campaign to collect money to
establish a Charity Fund from which donations can
be made to organizations outside the school as their
need is brought to our attention.
The benefits of such a system are obvious. A
greater sum of money can be collected by one intensive drive early in October than by a large number of small campaigns throughout the year. Students will not be annoyed all year by repeated
requests to contribute to one thing or another.
Duplication of effort will be eliminated. Most important, students, since they will be appealed to
only once instead of meeting constant requests for
aid, will contribute more.
The Community Chest idea has proven itself
successful throughout the nation.
Is there any
reason why it cannot work at State?

Attention Men—Typical State Co-ed Proves Existent;

In the first place, only 128 of the
fairer sex admitted they were a
typical State College girl, but 155
of them emphatically denied the
description. Her existence was even
doubted by many of the girls answering the questionnaire in assembly. As one girl stated it, "What

According to statistics (for which
we gratefully acknowledge our indebtedness to Messrs. Bob Patton
and Will Weyant), the typical State
College co-ed stands 5'4'/j", tips the
scales at 124 lbs, and wears size 14
clothes. Her medium coloring is set
off by deep brown eyes and brown
curly locks. Sounds quite alright,
don't you think?
With all this talk going around
about being individualistic, we wondered about invidualism at State. It
seems that 155 of the femmes would
prefer to be included in this category
while 113 of them wouldn't. A happy medium is sought by 35 of our
colleagues.
