College To Celebrate
World Student Day
With. Campusßally
In 1938 when the Nazi marched
into Czechoslovakia, the Czech
university students laid down
their . books, exchanging them for
guns. The Nazi blitzkreig had
come too fast for the Czech
army to mobilize, so the students
fought as well as they could from
schools and universities all over
the country. On November 17, the
Nazi retaliated by a massacre of
students at the Charles University
in Prague, killing 156 students
and sending over 12,000 to concen
tration camps inside German^.
On November 17, 1942, the first
celebration of International Stu
dents was held in commemoration
of the massacre at Prague. Inter
national Student’s Conferences
were held at London until Czecho
slovakia was liberated. The move
ment caught on in the United
States and has spread to almost
all American colleges and univer
sities.
This year, International Stu
dent’s, Day will be celebrated at
the College. A rally sponsored by

Players Apply Polish
To Poor Coward Script
By MARTIN LENNIG
Guest Critic
A Noel Coward drawing room
farce requires polish and finessp
in the extreme to be effective. A
Coward script has laughs but
cannot stand alone without good
production. Mere voicing of dia
logue is not sufficient to hold
an audience. In the case of
“Blithe Sprit” which was pre
sented for the second time by the
Penn State Players last Friday
and Saturday evenings, the plot
was not only improbably ridicu
lous, but what there was of it
was stretched thin.
The production of lust weekend
may best.’ bo commented on by
going pack to its source and say-

excellently delivered by Joseph
Vispi amid crashing china, fly
ing pillows and falling pictures
The Players gave an exceptionally
well rendered, fast moving pro
duction.
The set was unusually well,
made up. The lighting which
called for quite a bit of tricky
handling was executed without a
noticeable flaw. The “special ef
fects” such as table tapping and
vase- smashing were mystifyingly
well done.
