PAGE TWO Composers of Thespian Seek Second. Consecutive Hit By JAKE HIGHTON “A really great score com posed by Frank Lewis and David Weiner”—that was a reviewer’s opinion of ‘Some Punkins,” first show written 'last spring by Thes pians’ student musical comedy team. Tomorrow night at Schwab Auditorium this Weiner-Lewis duo will have their latest pro duction, “Bottoms, Up,” open a three-night run. Although writers are often un able to follow up an initial suc cess with another, it is highly possible that this Penn State musical combination which turned out fine tunes in their first show like “Boaring Twenties” and “True As Ever Any Sweetheart,” may have come up with another hit. As to the lives and activities of Dave Weiner and Frank Lewis,- about the only difference between them is that Dave writes words and Frank music. Both men are seventh semester seniors in Commerce and Finance. Both are Phi Sigma, Delta frater nity brothers, both members of Skull and Bones, of course both are Thespians, and they live with in a few blocks of each other in the Wynnefield section of Phila delphia. . , This closeness of association and interest helped them this summer to work late at night— after daytime jobs—to write their second musical comedy effort, ‘‘Bottoms Up.” This musical comedy revue will probably be the only show produced by Thespians this year which is entirely student writ LA Council to Support Promotion Agency Plan At the Liberal Arts Student Council meeting held Monday night, the council voted unanimously to support the recommendation of the All-College Cabinet committee to establish a central promotion agency on campus. Edward Shanken, president of the council, will propose to cab inet an amendment to the CPA recommendation, made by the council. The amendment states that a trial period be set up, not to exceed two semesters, at the end of which the agency will be investigated to see that there are no infringements being made on outside organizations. CPA Pros and Cons After discussion on the pros and cons of such an agency the council members said that such an organization might well be, used to liven up promotion and to give students primarily inter ested in promotion work an op portunity for expression. At the same time some members felt that such an agency would tend to usurp promotion groups of other campus organizations. In voting'to support the CPA recommendation, the council moved to stress the cabinet ap proval clause of the recommen dation stating that only cabinet committees could use CPA ser vices. Other organizations served would be at the discretion of CPA and would have to be cab inet approved.

West Dorm Thefts Cause $5O Loss For News Agency See Editorial Page 4 Theft of small change amount ing to almost $5O from the Stu dent News Agency in the West Dorms was reported yesterday by Burton Johns, student mana ger. The thefts- started Oct. 8, Johns said, and have been continuing at the rate of from $6 to $7 a day. Although minor sums have been missing from the agency’s other newspaper stands, Johns re ported, almost all of the missing funds have been traced to the West Dorms. Under the arrangements used by the SNA, students may pick up the papers-and pay for-them. The agency does not have an employee attending the papers. Not more than two or three people are involved in the thiev ery, Johns said. He reported, however, that last week’s loss put the agency in the red for the week. The agency employs about 15 students. The agency is operating as a service to students, Johns said, but if the thefts continue, it will be forced to close. In addition to the stand in the West Dorms, the agency operates newsstands in the Nittany-Pol lock dining halls, the TUB, and Simmons, McElwain, and Ath erton Halls.

'. ; ' Churchill Is Topic Of Debaters By BETTIE LOUX Winston Churchill was called the “greatest living citizen of the free world,” a “party politician,” and a “master of the art of war” last night as Penn State and Ox ford University students battled through the annual international debate. Brilliant digs and repartee, for which traveling British debaters are becoming known, were neatly interspersed with arguments for and agairfst the question, Re solved: That the return of Mr. Churchill as prime minister would be highly regrettable. Richard Oxford’s affir mative speaker, opposed Church ill’s return not only because of the man himself, but because it would mean the end of the Labor government’s work. The facts that production in England is now 40 percent higher than before the war, that there is no unemploy ment, and that Britain gave the Iranian problem to the UN for arbitration, Taveme said, are il lustrations of the Labor govern ment’s achievements. No Longer 'Torch' David Lewis, Penn State’s negative speaker, compared the austerity of 121 Sparks with the life of the English, who now eat “fish and chips” under the Labor government. This was later con tradicted by Clair George, Penn State,- who said they have been eating them “for a century.” Contending that the Labor Par ty is no longer the “torch in the it was in 1945, Lewis denied that the Conservatives are against all that Labor does. This, he said, is not “me-tooism” —it is honesty. The conservative program would include the denationaliza tion of iron and steel, an excess profits tax and. extension of the public health program, he said. Answering Lewis’ accusation that Attlee suffered from lumba go, George mentioned Churchill’s poor hearing. “If I were Stalin,” he said, “I’d rather talk to a man with lumbago than one that couldn’t hear.” Lose Principles George contended that the Con servative Party has lost its prin ciples, as evidenced by its ad vocation of an excess profits tax. Churchill, he said, is not a “mas ter of diplomacy,” and the return of the Conservative Party would be a threat to the peace of the world. Social reforms enacted by the Conservatives before 1945 , were cited by lanky Oxfordian William Rees-Mogg, who mentioned the tearing down of slums and distri bution of free milk.
