Those in favor of releasing the
figures said that the women's
organizations should follow the
precedent set by All-College and
national elections. They also felt,
as a rule,.that women who think.
they are mature enough to run
for office should be able to ac
cept defeat without hurt feelings.
A typical, answer was that of

STATE COLLEGE, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER .1, 1951
RObert Vogeler, American businessman whose background never
foreshadowed the role he would play in the game of international
politics, - will open the 1951-52 Community Forum program at 8
tonight in Schwab Auditorium.
A limited number of tickets are still availdble at the Student
Union desk in Old Main -for $1.50, according to Dr. Gerald B. Stein,
ticket chairman. All season
tickets must be • exchanged for
reserved seats at Student Union.
An executive . of the. Interna
tional Telephone and Telegraph
Co., Vogeler was serving as its
European representative in 'Aus
tria, Hungary and Czechoslova
kia when he was arrested in No
vember -1949 and charged with
"espionage, sabot a'g e and con
spiracy against th e Hungarian
government."
After • Vogeler "confessed" he
was sentenced to 15' years of sol
itary confinement. For 17 months
his wife. Lucile worked unceas
ingly to free her husband. Her
perserverance aroused the sym
pathy of -both the press and pub

Prolonged negotiations between

governments fin all y produced
terms 'of mutUal agreement
whereby he could be released.

their "votes published?".
The opinion .of Avis Hummel
was- that it is `.`sheer curiosity" to
want to know the exact returns.
"The important thing," she said,
"is to know the winner.—not the
order in which the losers rank."
The typical male viewpoint
was expiessed by Don Roberts, a
sophomore, who said , that the
voters had a -right \ to , know by
what margin a candidate has won.
Adele • Gillisiaie, senior, shared
his
..thoughts, -saying .that the or
ganizations are "democratic—not
fraternal."
Ken MeusS'ner, hoviever, says
"Keep it the ,way it is—as. long as
you have an honest committee

Irvin' Hohenstein, Eugene :Krise

Chest Fund
Collections
Called 'Poor'
"Collections for the Campus
Chest to date are poor," Murray
Goldman, solicitation chairman
for the drive, said yesterday.. He
did not release any figures on the
progress of the drive.
Goldman said that many solidi
tors have failed to turn in their
first reports on solicitations and
because of this he cannot tell
whether the drive is progressing
well or not. '
He said that all solicitors must
turn in their initial reports to the
Penn State Christian Association,
304 Old Main, by 4 p.m. today.
This is the only way anyone will
be able to tell how the drive is,
going, he added.
Of the 350 students soliciting
for the drive, .only a small per
centage have turned in reports,
to date. Goldman said he could
not tell whether this was due to
lack of student or solicitor in
terest, or both.
He urged those solicitors who
have not received any pledges
yet to report the fact to the
PSCA office by means of a blank
report envelope.
"We must re-emphasize that
this is the only drive for student
