June Enlistees May
Get Choice of Service
Students not deferred for continued college work will probably
have ample opportunity in June to enlist in the service of their
choice, Major Gen. Lewis •B. Hershey, director of selective service,
said yesterday,
The draft director made the announcement after explaining that
selective service plans no special provisions to give students 30 days
after their academic year. ends to,
choose their service.
Under the 1951 am - endments to
the selective service law, General
Hershey explained, a student in a
full-time course called for, induc
tion is eligible for at least a• class
1-S deferment until the end of the
academic year. A student, how
ever, can receive only one such
deferment, he said.
Hershey explained that a stu
dent holding a 1-S deferment will
have his classification reopened
by his local board to determine •if
he qualifies for any classification
other than 1-A.
If placed in 1-A, the student has
the right to enlist in the service of
his choice and this right, General
Hershey explained, continues
until he is ordered for induction.
General Hershey recalled that
the Army, Navy and Air Force
agreed in July 1950 not to accept
any man for enlistment after 'he
has been notified to report for his
preinduction physical examina
tion. The order was removed by
the Department of Defense in
June 1951, General 'Hershey ex
plained. and will probably re
main off the books for next sum
mer.

Schlesinger Speaks
ARTHUR SCHLESINGER, JR., noted historian and author,
speaking on the topic, "Can We Work with Soclalisrn to Beat
Communism," before a near-capacity audience in Schwab Audi
torium last night. Schlesinger's talk was the third in this season's
Community Forum series.
Art Ed Prof to
In First of LA
Dr. Viktor Lowenfeld, professor of art education at the College,
will open the Liberal Arts lecture series at 8 tonight in 121 Sparks
by discussing the subject "On Creative Types: Visual and -Non-
Visual Art Experiences."
Slides will be used by Lowenfeld throughout the talk to illus
trate the different arts he will
discuss.
Lowenfeld said that people see
a great deal of art by which they
are puzzled. He will attempt to
show from what psychological
sources art grows and will an
alyze the roots from which .mod
ern art expression grows.
Studied in Vienna
The art of blind people will
also be brought out by Lowen
feld. He says that the art of the
blind shows non-visual art in its
purest form. He will also take up
the art of primitives and ancient
times.
Born in Lins, Austria, Lowen
feld is a graduate of the College
of Applied Arts in Vienna, the
Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna,
and the University of Vienna. He
also taught in Vienna prior to
coming to this country in 1938.
During World War 11, Lowen
feld was a special consultant for
the visual aids program of the
U.S. Navy and designed special
tests for the U.S. Air Force.
Listed in 'Who's Who'
Lowenfeld has. served as the
head of the art department at
Hampton Institute,' Hampton, Va.,
and conducted research at Per
kins Institution for the Blind at
Watertown, Mass. He also served
as consult ant psychologist at
Lochland Institute, Geneva, N.Y.
He was 'appointed to the Penn
State faculty in 1946. •
He is listed in "Who's Who in
the Western Hemisphere" and
Who's Who in American Edu
cation."
Four years ago Lowenfeld's
book, "Creative and Men t al
Growth," was published in this
country. It is used as a text in
160' universities and colleges in
this country and in six foreign
colleges. A greatly expanded re
vision of this book will appear
in March. Swedish and French
translations are now being made.
All lectures in the series are
open to the public.

Hat Council
Recommends
Druids Revision
A proposal calling for Druids,
sophomore hat society, "to enact
a new constitution" embodying
three specific recommendations
was unanimously approved by
Hat Society Council last night.
The three recommendations ap
proved were:
"1. a review of the basis of
membership in the society with
a view toward broadening the
basis of membership to include
I activities other than athletics.
"2. alteration of the constitu
tion so that it adheres to accepted
constitutional form.
"3. elimination of the 'black
ball' system of electing mem
bers."
The recommendation was mov
ed by James Wharton, Parmi
Nous president, who said that= `the
job could be 'done in three dr four
meetings."
Marvin Krasnansky, Hat' So
ciety Council president, stressed
that the action was only a recom
mendation. He pointed out that
the council had only the power
to recommend in such cases, with
the hope that a member society
will heed the advice.
The council also discussed the
method of Druids' tapping.
Milton Bernstein, Skull a n d
Bones president favored-the idea
of having an arbitrary tapping
period, which would occur once
or twice a year. Druids' consti
tution now reads that the society
may tap any time during the year.
The idea \to recommend a limited
tapping period was dropped, how
ever, when strong opposition was
raised by other council members.

Forum Hears
Historian
In Schwab
By BETTIE LOUX
America- should choose her al
lies on the basis of their beliefs
in individual rights and liberty
rather than economic structure, as
the main issue in the world today
is democracy versus tyranny, Ar
thur Schlesinger Jr. told a near
capacity Community Forum au
dience last night.
The slight, spectacled Harvard
professor answered his topic, "Can
We Work with Socialism to Beat
Communism?" with the opinion
that the people on America's side
must believe in the freedom of
the individual. The American
people should not expect more
than this, he said, or fears of
American imperialism may arise.
"We can't expect to refashion
the world in our image," he said,
as this country's economic struc
ture is "not necessarily infallible."
Socialist Combat Reds
If socialism chooses democracy
over tyranny it is on the side of
the free countries, he pointed out,
in spite of conflicting economic
ideas.
Schlesinger pointed out that
communism is being kept down in
Europe somewhat by the influ
ence of the socialist party. Where
the socialists are in control of the
working class, he said, the com
munists can't infiltrate.
Great Britain, a socialist coun
try until the last election, has
been America's most powerful al
ly, he maintained, and it would
have been fantastic for this coun
try to have rejected Britain purely
because of economic reasons. In
connection with this he men
tioned a recent speech by Harold
E. Stassen, president of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, who de
clared that aid to nationalized
countries should be dropped.
Communism a 'Parley'
Schlesinger differentiated be
tween • a negative alliance, such
as that America had with Russia
during World War II by necessity,
and a positive alliance where
work would be toward a common
objective. He said that whether
a positive alliance with Socialist
countries is possible depends on
whether Socialism tends toward
capitalism or communism.
Schlesinger said that commun
ism seems like a "mocking par
ody" of Socialism to most liberals,
and that present Socialists have
abandoned classical socialism.
They believe in increasing, but
