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.

resentatives to the Liberal Arts

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.

Tribunal Hears
Traffic, Dorm
Violation Cases
Four traffic violators and four
■violators of dormitory regula
tions appeared before Tribunal
last night.
The first action brought up a
delayed case. The offender had
ignored his first summons from
Tribunal, claiming he was inno
cent in an incident which in
volved the smearing of jelly on
walls, a door, and floors in the
West Dorms.
The sentence was a recom
mendation by the group that the
violator be placed on probation
with the Dean of Men’s office for
one semester. .Tribunal also rec
ommended tha t' no permanent
black mark be made on the man’s
record and that no letter be sent
to his parents concerning the mat
ter!
The other dormitory violation
involved ■ three West Dorm men.
This case had started out as teas
ing which got out of hand, ending
with water being splashed , and
poured around and the ‘ throw
ing of hard-boiled eggs.
. All three offenders admitted
their guilt and said they- would
assume the responsibility for any
damage they had done to the
