PAGE EIGHT Hundreds Help Movie Proied, Says Abramson "Cooperation of hundreds of people in one way or another ac f!ounts for the success of the Inter mtional Film Club," declares Ed ward Abramson, sociology instruc tor. The International Film Club does not have a formal organiza tion, but is just a group of people who are interested in bringing the best movies of many countries to the campus, according to Mr. Abramson. The movies are shown in 121 Sparks at 7 and 9 p.m. on alternate Tuesdays. Mr. Abramson believes that these movies have a definite edu cational element, as each film is chosen because it represents a landmark in the development of art in the country that produced it. But, aside from the educational value, these movies also serve as a community function, "a place for people to come- together and share common experiences." With a definite interest in the project being shown by students, faculty, and townspeople, the soci ology instructor reports that the club now has 'approximately 250 members. These members have contributed $1 to the organization, and in return are entitled to a seat in the front center reserve section for the movies. Admission to non members is free. Since the cost of the movies, about $35 per picture, is covered entirely by contributions, Mr. Abramson urges anyone wishing to back the club to make donations to him. This project has been dis cussed for several years in State College, but it was not until Mr. Abramson and Linvill F. Watson, also of the sociology department, started working on it together that it actually came into being. Since then, Professor Henry Geist and George Szasz of the chemistry de partment hafe also taken an active part in the club. Professor Geist is the group's treasurer. For the next two movies, May 16 andlMay 31, Mr. Abramson and his colleagues will choose from "Citizen Kane," "Grande Illusion." (French), "Pearls of the . Crown" (a comedy produced by Sasha Guitry), or "Chepayev" (Russian). To date, outstanding pictures of Russia, France, and Switzerland have been shown. Before each movie, members will receive a postcard announcing it, which may be used for a ticket to the reserved section, and'a gen eral announcement will be made through the Centre Daily Times, the Collegian, and the College Faculty Bulletin. Because the group has learned that most of the best movies are available in 16mm size, 'they hope to make the •club a permanent Penn State institution. Mr. Abram son belieVes that they have already helped to stimulate a movement in the direction of getting better movie projector equipment for the College. Dance Climaxes OH Dancing and games will climax the Open House party at the Nit tany Co-op Annex, 8 p.m., to morrow, according to Ann Haz zard, social chairman. "As the Co-op i s new this year, the house will be open for in spection so that students and friends can see what it is like;" the chairman continued. The party will include the Nit tany and Allen Co-ops as well as the Nittany Annex, it was added. Bridge Parity 'Receipts A check for $33.25, total re ceipts of Pan-Hellenic Council's benefit bridge party, has been turned over to the Red Cross by lone Trovaioli, chairman of the party. All expenses of the bridge were paid by Pan-Hellenic Coun cil.

Students Rockview Penitentiary will be visited by a group of men stud ents of the College tomorrow af ternoon, James Smith, PSCA sec retary, announced yesterday. Freshmen Men's Council under Peter Horen is sponsoring the trip. "Dr. William Claudy, superin tendent of the Penitentiary has expressed his desire to be host to an interested group of students who would like to see a modern penal institution which is trying to rehabilitate hundreds of men for active and useful citizenship after their terms have expired," stated Smith. At the present time there are 900 men at Rockview. Any men interested in visiting he Penitentiary should be at the Corner Room bus depot . at 2 p. m. for transportation. The group will• return at 5:30 p. m. Round trip costs will be 45 cents. Because Rockview is a men's penal institution, regulations pro hibit women visitors, hitcomb- (Continued from page seven) have ammunition, a r tillery, planes, and many other types of military equipment hidden in the mountains," pointed out Whit comb. Following the lecture, Whit comb discuSsed a number of points about Germany with a Collegian reporter. When asked where he expects the Allied invasion to take place, Whitcomb said. "I don't believe anyone knows the answer to that question except . a few high Allied officials." "The German people think that the Allies will land about 12 large invasion groups on the continent ranging from Norway down to Spain. They expect the Allies to hold at least six of these beach heads. Then the Nazis will throw everything they have at the in vading forces—eventually driving them into the sea," explained Whitcomb. "Dr. Goebbels has made the German people believe that a Nazi retreat in the East was nec essary because of the pending Allied attack from the West," an swered Whitcomb in reply to an inquiry concerning the Russian front. "The German soldier is very business-like in his ways," de clared the correspondent. "Dur ing the early phases of the French battle Nazi armored divisions drove up to.a small French town. The officers filled their vehicles with gasoline and then paid for what they used." "The soldiers bought candy and cake, played with- the town chil dren, and petted the dogs. They acted pleasant and respectable in every sense. Then there was some shooting in the town. Angered by the uprising, the Nazis burned the town to the ground," said Whit comb. "American prisoners of war are receiving the same treatment that German prisoners in the United States are getting," pointed out Whitcomb when asked about prisoners of war. Whitcomb based his talk on the information he gathered as a cor respondent in occupied France, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Germany -since the start of the War.
