Tonight Marks sth Arena Stage Year Tonight’s premiere performance of “The Great Big Doorstep” at Center Stage will mark the fifth anniversary of arena staging, or theater in-the-round, at Penn State. The campus Players group was one of the pioneers of arena staging in the East. Even now only two other eastern universities, Fordham and Juniata, have a regular sched ule of arena productions. The first theater-in-the-round production seen at Penn State was in the State College Hotel in 1946, when Players presented “Sky lark”. under the direction of Kelly Yeaton, still recogized as one of the authorities in the East on central staging. The present site of Center Stage, near the corner of Hamilton and Allen streets, was first used for a Players’ production in 1948, with Robert Reifsneider staging the comedy, “Out of the Frying Pan.” The policy of continuous Center Stage shows, two each semester with each running six weekends was begun at this time. In 1949 Center Stage was the site of the per formance of “This Side of Bedlam,” on original comedy written for central staging by Warren Smith, associate professor of drama. This was the only original play ever to be seen in Penn State’s theater-in-the-round. The College can well be proud of the accom plishments of its far-seeing and progressive drama division. . If you have never seen an arena produc tion, with the audience sitting on all four sides of the playing area, you'll have your chance again this school year. And the greater degree of intimacy, plus the still-novel method of presentation, will almost always afford you a night of pleasure. Negro Fighters An army survey team has recently returned from Korea • with enthusiastic reports on the Army’s non-segregated combat units. The Army has broken up all Negro units in the theater so that Negro Americans are fighting alongside white Americans. The experiment has worked so well that in the event of an all-out war all Negro units will ' be broken up and the men assigned to units as individuals. \ The ability of Negroes and whites to fight and die along side each other in Korea leads us to wonder why some people contend that they cannot live together in peace. The color of a man's skin should not pre vent cooperation, whether the scene be a bloody Korean ridge or an apartment house in Cicero. Results of Seminar Depend on Actions A Seminar on Human Relations closed" Wed nesday night and what it will amount to, other than a brief respite in the busy lives of the 28 participating United Steelworker directors, has yet to be seen. If these men fake away with them some of the principles and beliefs expounded during the. sessions with the hope of using them in their work as leaders in labor, the seminar has been infinitely successful. On the other hand, should these leaders leave' here remembering the words on civil rights, discrimination, and constructive guidance only as the beliefs of “preachers, sociologists, and teachers,” the seminar served only as a holiday. .In the words of Philip Murray, steelworkers’ president, the four days of talks could “serve as a kind of beacon light which will help attain these goals to which we all aspire.” Indeed Mr. Murray, they could. But whether they will or not cannot be answered soon since it would appear that equality of human rights is not to be had in these steel-producing United States overnight. Probably the one key factor in whether seminars of this type are to be successful is the attitude of the participants. Mr. Murray, are we all aspiring to attain these goals? The seminar alone will not serve as a beacon light but work of the men who were the seminar can be a beacon. Gazette...

Babysitters for October 2> —Bud Fenton Little Man On Campus "Guess we'll have the slickest backfield in the country, eh. Rip?** We have been writing, thinking, and talking quite a bit of late about the tempest in which this nation now finds itself as a result of the whipped-up hysteria and fear o.ver the shadow of communism. It has always been £asy to Jessups, the Adamics these men victims of this country’s frenzy to rid itself, of communist sub version. It has been easy, to think and write about these men, for we have never had. the. oppor tunity to meet them. They have been names in headlines, distant victims of our nation’s zeal. But what is the communist craze doing to the little guy, the kids we went to high school with, the guy down the street with the good-looking wife and the two cute boys? 1 We managed to get part of the answer to that question this past weekend when' we bumped into an old high school chum of ours. The experience leift us more ter rified than ever over the course this nation has been following. We had known him in high school as a good student, the kind of guy who was everybody’s friend, an editor of the school weekly, a solid liberal thinker, a good fygh school citizen. He came from a ’ good home, his widowed mother providing him with what might be considered an average home life. His high school record was good enough to earn him a four year full tuition scholarship at one of the country’s top univer w Max Hartswick's "Live Ammo" ■ "Hunting License " Sportsman's Shack JIiUCKi (Calder Alley) Want To Have A PEP RALLY in Your Own Room?

Why has an intelligent, sound-thinking young American found the answer to the world’s ills in communism? We think he has found the an swer in communism for the same reason millions of people the world over have been forced into the communist camp.
