Morning Raids
Lasses totaling between $3OO
and $4OO were reported early
Monday morning by residents of
three fraternity houses on N.
Burrowes road when a bold thief
calmly roamed the houses pick
ing wallets from dresser tops.
The houses, Alpha Zeta, Sigma
Nu, and Phi Delta Theta, all use
the plan of sleeping in which all
sleep in one room With clothes
and belongings left in the indi
vidual study rooms.
Nineteen wallets, some con
taining checks, were lifted from
the dressers. In all cases, wallets
left in clothes or inside dresser
drawers were not molested.
' A person claiming he had an
Urgent message for Robert Foster
was encountered by several stu
dents at the hduses strolling
through the upstairs rooms about
3 'a.m. Monday morning. A later
check with Foster• revealed that
the message was probably a farce
used by the thief as an excuse for
roaming through ,the houses.

description, Campus Patrol office
said. Both Campus Patrol and
State Police are investigating the

Value of Women's Freedom
Using a new technique in intercollegiate debating, slide projec
tions to illustrate the presentation of the affirmative, two College
male debaters and tiro spirited coeds from Mt. Mercy College battled
to a standstill in 121 Sparks last Friday on the question "Resolved:
that the emancipation of women has done more harin than good."
Uninformed of this novel procedure until after their arrival in
State College, Margaret McGill and Jenine Coleman proved capable
of meeting the challenge. David Schmuckler, who kept the audience
on the edge of their chairs with his clever presentation of th affirma
tive constructive speech while, pointing out the slides, was Very
capably countered by Miss Coleman who presented the negative.
Schmuckler, with the use of
slides, showed the men's version
of the American ,woman from the
nineteenth century until the pres

Vanderbilt dressed in clothing
typical of her day, and continu

and up to the young lady of 1949,
Schmuckler had to agree that he
was in favor of feminine emanci

Women Workers Increase
Since the emancipation of wom

The affirmative declared that
Women, especially in the higher
