Klopp Named Miss Penn State
Galati Attacks Clark;
Quits 1 Of WD Jobs
Joseph Galati last night resigned as parliamentarian for -the
third and fourth floor council, Hamilton Hall, in protest against
John Clark's presidency of the group. Galati did not resign as West
Dorm Council parliafnentarian, a position he also holds. •
The move followed West Dorm Council's refusal •Monday night
to act on Galati's charges that recent AIM elections were unconsti
tutional. Galati had demanded
that the council set up an official
committee to investigate the elec
tions and report to the AIM Board
of Governors.'
• Galati said last night that he
would carry the election matter
to All-College Cabinet at its next
session. He said, "I have the evi
dence (of unconstitutionality) in
my possession."
Galati had been a candidate for
AIM president, but withdrew be
fore the election.
Durek Statement
West Dorm President Thomas
Durek last night said that Galati
was acting entirely as an indiVi
dual in the election dispute, and
that the cbuncil would stay out
of the matter entirely.
Galati based his resignation and
protest on his charge that Clark,
as floor president, was not hold
ing the constitutional number of
floor meetings monthly, and was
therefore holding his West Dorm
Council seat fraudulently under
the constitution.
Clark said last night he had
been unable to hold meetings
from Feb. 6 to April 6 because he
was away student teaching. Floor
meetings, he said, were held in his
absence.
"Furthermore, I believe that
Galati was not at the last three
floor meetings which I chaired.
If he was so interested in my
conduct of the meetings, why did
he not bring it up at a meeting?"
Denies Grounds
In a statement to the Daily
Collegian, • written after he had
received Galati's resignation,
Clark denied that there were
grounds for the parliamentarian's
protest. Referring to Galati's elec

Inkling To
Go On Sale
Tomorrow
Inkling, the first literary maga
zine of its kind, will go on sale
tomorrow, Samuel Vaughan, edi
tor, said yesterday.
Inkling has deviated from the
usual literary magazine format
by adding illustrations and photo
graphs to the fiction stories and
poems.
The magazine will contain fic
tion, poetry, photography, and
artwork. No such type of publi
cation has ever been produced
before on campus.
The success of the first issue
will depend on student and fac
ulty sales because of the limited
amount of advertising in the mag
azine. The circulation staff has
met with "much success" in sell
ing advance one-issue subscrip
tions to faculty m ember s,
Vaughan 'said. Financial backing
of student groups and various
donors has made publication of
the first issue possible.
The magazine includes make
up features such as brief sketches
and photos of the authors beside
each story and two illustrated
full-page poems by Anne Pinko
vitz and Thomas Hepler.
Milton Bernstein designed the
red; gray, and black cover of the
six-by-nine, 48-page magazine.
W. L. Werner, professor of Am
erican literature, and G. W. Hen
ninger, associate professor of
music are the "guest authors" of
the, feature columns on books and
music. Other features include an
article based on interviews with
two prominent lecturers who
have visited the campus and a
column entitled "An Inkling of
Greatness," which commends
persons who have not received
adequate recognition for service
to the College.

Sun Dancers
To Beg For
Clear Skies
Fair skies will shine for Thurs
day's carnival.
That is the prediction of par
ticipants in tonight's Sun Dance
ceremonies to be held on the
plaza of Old Main during the in
termission of the star-lite dance.
Associated Press backs up the
prediction with a forecast of fair
weather until Friday or Satur
day. The dance was begun last
year and brought clear skies for
the second attempt at the 1950
carnival. Rain spoiled the or
iginal date for the second time
in two years.
Authentic Sun Dance
This year Eugene Meyers, stu
dent of Indian lore, promises an
authentic sun dance to keep back
the rain clouds Thursday.
The dance will be based on an
original Plains Indians' sun dance
which served as a plea for good
weather throughout the summer.
Considered Sacred
It was considered sacred and
no wrong was to be done during
this period.
The dance was a gruesome ex
hibition, in which four slits were
cut in each dancer's back. Raw
hide thongs were passed through
the slits and used to suspend the
dancers in the air until the thongs
pulled through the flesh.
' The sun dance as performed on
campus has deleted ' -the thong
test, replacing it with a series
of story dances with each dancer
attempting, to place a skull on a
pole in front of a huge bonfire
before losing his strength.
Put Skull ori• Pole
The climax is reached when
a chief places his skull on the
pole and all dancers regain their
strength. Symbolically the chief
has passed his test and shown
the courage necessary to invoke
the pleasure of the gods and bring
clear skies for the carnival.
Ray Evert's orchestra will play
for the star-lite dance which will
be held from 8 to 11 p.m.

Russell was on the staff of the
U. S. delegation to the United
Nations conference in San Fran
cisco in 1945. In 1946 he attended
the United Nations Assembly in
London and in 1949 he served as
chairman of the National Confer
ence on American Foreign Policy.

lege and the University of Chi
cago as well as in Europe an
