French Film Plays
At Local Theater
"The Baker’s Wife” is the sec
ond in a series of films being
sponsored by the International
Film Club at the - ” Oathaum Thea
ter today and tomorrow, accord
ing to Edward Abramson, assist
ant professor of sociology . and
head of the Film CHUb. The film
will be shown at regular prices
and times.
Ra-imu, star of picture, is
considered one of the world’s
greatest actors, said Abramson,
due to his ability to be a comedian
and yet give a serious touch to his
performances. Thp movie itself is
human and unpretentious, with
no attempt at sophistication.
The plot reveals all the preju
dice and pettiness of a small
French village. It centers ' around
a young wife who, tires of her
'baker-husband and runs off. with
a young shepherd.
Although in French, the Amer
ican audience* will have no trouble,
following tho story as it has Eng
lish titles by John Erskine.
“ ‘The Baker’s Wife’ is one of
the immortal pictures and is as
thoroughly enjoyable as it is well
done,” said Abramsop.
The Film Club is planning to
bring “The Well-Digger’s Daugh
ter” and “Children of Paradise”
to State College this summer.
Blue Band Gives
Outdoor Concert
Blue Band will give an out
door “pap” concert on-the front
canjpus at 3:30 p. m. Sunday. In
case of rain it will be held in
Schwab Auditorium.
The program will be a lighter
type than the indoor concert. Ac
cording to Director Hummel
Fishburn, 11 students will act as
guest conductors, each one con
ducting one number.
Among the selections that Mr.
Fishburn.' will direct is “Head
lines” by Colby. This piece has
long been a favor te of the Blue
Band.
He will also conduct several
numbers requested from the in
door concert, the “Red Cavalry
March” by Morton Gould and
“Forgy and Bess”. Selections by
George Gershwin. “At the Grem
lin Ball” by Hill was requested

Daily Collegian
The Daily Collegian wiHr pub
lish the last edition of the- se
mester Friday. All stories and
advertisements should be turned
in ‘at the Collegian office by 4
p.m. Thursday.
Students, particularly coeds,
should watch their pocketbooks
and other belongings when attend
ing classes, said Captain Philip
Mark, Campus Patrol chief, today.
Every year near the end of the
semester a number of cases of
petty thievery are reported. Six
such crimes were 'reported last
week.
Things are taken mostly from
the Home Be Building and Sparks,
presumably- because of the larger
number of coeds attending classes
there. Pocketbooks left in hanging
coats seem to be» the greatest' at
traction.
It is very difficult for the Cam
pus Patrol to do anything about
the situation, said Captain Mark.
Although patrolmen may be stand
ing in the hallways, thdy never
know whether it is the owner
claiming his belongings or some
petty thief.
Registration Still Possible
For Three Summer Sessions
Bolte Discusses
World Problems
“A Veteran Looks at Peace”
was the topic of AVC National
Chairman and Rhodes Scholar,
Charles G. Bolte, Monday night
at Schwab Auditorium.
Mr. Bolte began -by saying that
veterans still have problems and
that three real and persistant
ones are money, housing, and
jobs.
“AVC has had some success in
advancing a -program of satisfy
ing these wants,” he said.
Th e motto of the American
Veterans Committee, “Citizens
First, Veterans Second,” has been
accepted by the public he said.
The belief that veterans needed
special help has changed' and all
the veterans want are equal op
portunities.
“There never was any fear in
our minds that veterans would
come back as a solid' block,” he
said. “The danger of totalitarian
ism methods and the fear of a
demagogue lias decreased. .The
veterans have returned to their
own lives, jobs, and families, and
that is what they fought for.”-
Bolte said that, th e postwar
aims of the AVC are peace, jobs,
and freedom.
“It is tragic and almost unbe
lievaible that' two years after vic
tory, the first of these objectives
seems to be in. jeopardy,” he said.
Bolte commented that the
United Nations should have writ
ten into its charter.the power to
enforce by law the disarmament
of the individual nations; the in
ternational control of atomic en
ergy; and th e power to arrest,
try, and punish individuals con
spiring against peace.

College Considers
Store for Circle
A suggestion that a canteen be
established for the men of Pol
lock Circle is being carefully
studied, S. K. Hostatter, assistant
to the president in Charge of
Business and Finance, said today.
The proposal was made by a
committee appointed by Albert
Honig, president of Pollock Circle
Council, when the men voted to
cease their purchases from
Sally’s. The committee consists of
Bernard Miller, Robert Foor,
John Green, Bernard ■ Pollock,
and Harold Weldon.
Mr. Hostetter said that the col
lege is responsive to the need for
increased student service, but
added that the legality of the pro
posal must be studied further.
After that, he explained, the
proposal must be passed on to
the Board of Trustees upon
whose decision the establishment
of the canteen will depend.
If the project is given the go
ahead. signal by the Board of
Trustees it should be open for
business toy the fall semester, said
Honig,
