CORE Launches .
Three-Fold Attack
CORE decided on a three-prong
ed attack at the meeting Wednes
day night in continuing the fight
to halt discrimination in State
College barber shops.
Three prominent State College
men will be contacted to act as
mediators with town barbers and
to learn their reaction to the num
ber of CORE pledges received.
CORE obtained $1824 in the re
cent fund-raising campaign.
Possible Legal Action
New developments are being
investigated to determine whether
legal action can be instigated be
cause of the discrimination • in
State College barber shops..
If the mediators are unable to
bring about a change in the policy
of discrimination by town shops, a
committee was appointed to be
gin work for the establishment of
a modern non-discriminatory bar
ber shop in State College. The
committee is studying possible
sites, equipment, and personnel.
Contact Owners
The Rev. Harry M. Buck, presi
dent of the State College Minister
ium; Guy G. Mills, executi ✓e
secretary of the Commerce Club;
and Dr. William G. Mather, presi
dent of the Council of Churches,
will be asked by CORE to speak
to the shop owners.
'The $1824 raised by CORE
would be turned over to any pro
prietor who agrees to the prin
ciple of non-discrimination.
Should more than one owner ac
cept the principle, the pledges
would be divided according to the
barbers preferred by the pur
chasers of CORE tickets, it was
pointed out by CORE leaders.
At the meeting representatives
of town and campus organizations
voted to contact College authori
ties concerning reported discrim
ination written into the national
constitution of an honorary pro
fessional society which has a
chapter at the College.

Classics Give Thornhill Edge
Over Other Band Leaders
Claude Thornhill, whose orches
tra will play for the traditional
Senior Ball at Rec Hall on Friday,
May 21, has an advantage over
many band leaders in being able
to combine a classical background
with the current trend of popular
music.
Claude received his basic train
ing in music at Cincinnati's Con
servatory of Music and at the Cur
tis Institute. From there he went
into the practical field as pianist
and arranger. He worked for such
musical greats as Bing Crosby,
Benny Godman, Charlie Spivak
and the late Glenn Miller. Maxine
Sullivan will long be in his debt
for his arrangement of "Loch Lo-
ing journalism men, representing
newspapers from all parts of the
state.
Reuben H. Markham of the
Christian Science Monitor will
speak on "World Communism
Against America" at the annual
dinner Saturday evening. Mr.
Markham is intimately acquaint

now behind the iron curtain. Be

fame.
Thornhill's orchestra is com
prised mainly of musicians who
served under him in the Navy
and who have been carefully
selected as to their merits as in
dividual artists. The particular
quality of the orchestra is due to
an uncommon arrangement of the
reed and brass section. Thornhill
uses four trumpets, two trom
bones, five men doubling on sax
and clarinet and two French
horns, an innovation to the dance
world.
Admission to Senior Ball is $4
per couple and dancing will be
held from 9 p.m. to 1 p.m. The
dance will be semi-formal and a

Thunderstorm Floods
Dorm 4/ With
Mud, Water
Torrents of water spelled havoc
to Nittany Dormitory 41, head
quarters of the Ovaltine Club,
Wednesday night. The west wing
of the dormitory was• completely
inundated with 3 inches of water
and mud.
"I was studying in my room
when I heard a commotion from
down the hall," Robert Harrison,
president of the club, said. "I
opened my door and in comes at
least 3 inches of water and mud.
Someone had opened the outer
door, allowing the water to come
in. A bunch of fellows, clad only
in undershorts or dungarees,
were waving mops and brooms.
Men on each side of the hallway
tried frantically to barricade
their doorways, but the water
kept rolling in."
Bill Gross, superintendent of
men's dormitories, was called
and brought additional brooms,
mops, and some shovels. He was
unable to •get in because the
water was two feet deep outside
the door and if it "had been
opened, water would have flowed
in.
It took two men side-by-side
with heavy mops to push all the
water out of the hallway. Rooms
4,5, 6,7, 8, and 9 were the hard
est hit. It will probably take jan
itors several days to clean up the
mess,
