Starring James Mason and di rected by the well known British director, Carlo Reed, the film has received favorable criticism from Theater Arts, Time, and Variety.

"The film, a macabre thriller pitched to a key of high tension and low lighting, describes the last days in the life of a political fugitive from justice," is the The ater Arts synopsis. Time recommends "Odd Man Out" as "a brilliant, uneven, alle gorical melodrama," and Variety as "art with a capital A." Dr. George J. Szasz, head of the International Film Club, considers the film one of the best treat ments of humanity and urges stu dents to take advantage of its twp day showing.

Ebert, superinten dent of grounds and buildings, said yesterday. Lack of sufficient rainfall in the past 30 days has caused the mountain streams and wells, on which the community is entirely dependent for water, to be lower than at any time in the past 30 years, he reported. Conservation of water has been asked of both students and bor ough citizens, he said, but thus far cooperation has been lacking. The crises is not serious enough, he added, to interrupt classes. Ebert pointed out that many towns and cities of the state, in cluding Centre county communi ties, are experiencing decreases in the amount of available water. Precipitation so far this month has been only .13 inches. Normally the rainfall for the entire month of October is 2.94 inches, it was explained. Tribunal Rejects Blue Key Tapping The tapping of 24 junior men by Blue Key October 15 was in validated by a decision of Tri bunal in a joint meeting with the Hat Society Council Sunday, Allan Hack, Tribunal chairman, announced. Tribunal was asked to partici pate in the meeting and render a decision because the Hat So ciety Council is a new organiza tion and its constitution has not yet been submitted to the Stu dent Welfare Committee, Law rence Foster, Council president, said. Tribunal found that the tap ping procedure was conducted without a quorum as provided by the Blue Key constitution, which requires two-thirds of the active membership, and defines mem bers past their junior year as in active. Tribunal suggested that before Blue Key proceeds with future tapping, its constitution be re vised to clarify the status of ac tive membership. In fairness to the men tapped October 15, the Hat Society Council suggested that they be first to be considered in future tapping.
