Robert St. John - (Continued from page one) “From the Land of Silent People,” “It’s Always Tomorrow,” “The Si lent People Speak,” and “Shalom Means Peace.” St. John’s fifth book, written last summer abroad, received oilers for filming from Hollywood and arrangements were made for translation into three foreign languages. The sub ject was kept a close secret by both the author and the publish er. He served with the U.S. Navy during World War I, worked on numerous newspapers in' Hart ford, Oak Park, 111., Chicago, Cam den and on the Philadelphia Rec ord. From 1931 to 1933, St. John was city editor for the Associated Press in New York and then from 1933 to 1939 turned to farming and free lance writing. • Later he returned to the Asso rted Press as Balkan correspond ent and then became a news com mentator for the National Broad casting Co., first in London, then in Washington and New York. St. John was one of the first correspondents to make broad casts from Paris after the libera tion. In recent years he has divided his time almost equally between gathering stories abroad and presenting lectures through out America. Since the ’2o’s St. John has been dealing constantly with violence in one form or another. He not only was on the scene of two world wars but has covered num erous minor international mis understandings, revolutions and bits of armed hostility. He still carries a Nazi bullet in his right leg, a memento of the Greek cam paign. His lecture replaces a talk that was to have been given by Sena tor Styles Bridges of New Hamp shire. Bridges canceled his talk because of illness and lias not been able to re-schedule a date. THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Frazier St. and Beaver Ave. MORNING WORSHIP 10:45 “What God'Used a Murderer!” Rev.

PENNSYLVANIA Robert Gabriel By JANET ROSEN will be restricted to saying, “Hello.” They.will also be expected to know all the traditions, cheers, songs and buildirig names. Walk ing on the grass or senior walk is verboten. But, the picture ' isn’t quite so black as the freshmen bow ties; customs will be removed for All-College dances.,, Gabriel is not studying, this problem frpm:a theoretical stand point; ho underwent all.the rigors of customs in 1944. “I thought cus toms were a lot of fun. They help ed me to' appreciate college;” said Bob. Therefore it isn’t the freshmen he’s worried about, but as Bob says, “The biggest problem will be satisfying the upper classmen with the manner, m which cus- toms are presented and carried out. The student body as a . whole should realize that customs are an integral part of college life. The College Administration and the Dean of Men support this belief by upholding Tribunal’s decisions on violations of these regulations. Customs'Affect Spirit “I think customs will have an energetic effect on Freshmen spir it. Also, having a president will probably raise the Penn State spirit to a neyv high.” • Enthusiastically expressing his opinions of the salutary effect of having a president, he said, "A president will help the workings of student government because the policies of the Administration pertaining to student problems will be more clear-cut. Thus, All- College Cabinet will be able tp work more intelligently in solv ing these problems.” Gabriel holds his seat on Cabi net as president of the Education Student Council. His collegiate activities have not been confined to this realm. He was the State party candidate for All-College president in 1949, an assistant football manager, a member of IFC, and the purchasing agent for the Student BX. Honorarifes are also included in Gabriel’s activities. These are: Skull and Bones, secretary; Blue Key, secretary; Lion’s Paw; Hat Societies Council, vice president. This outstanding senior comes to State. College from Philadel phia. He is a member of Pi Kappa Phi. So Pretty ■ *lPf This Spring!
