Notarize Oaths
Without Fee,
Pechan Asks
HARRISBURG, Feb. B—(AP)--
Notaries public were asked today
by the Pennsylvania American
Legion to put their official stamps
on the state's new loyalty oath
papers without charge.
State .Sen. Albert R. Pechan
(R-Armstrong), chairman of the
Legion's legislative committee as
well as sponsor of the 1951 law,
said he was asking local Legion
posts to obtain promises that fees
will not be charged.
More than a quarter of a mil
lion state and local employes
must sign the oath that they are
not members of a subversive or
ganization. The oath will be ad
ministered between March 1 and
April 1.
"It is my firm belief and con
viction that civic-minded officers
will be only too happy to notar
ize the oaths free of charge,"
Pechan said in a statement. "This
will relieve persons taking the
oaths from paying the notary
fee. "

Adds Sentence
Murray Goldman and Richard
Mills were named co-chairmen of
the Senior Ball committee. Melvin
Glass, William Raymond, and Vir
ginia Laudano were appointed
committee members.
Before presenting his proposal
to cabinet on the amendment to
the All-College constitution, Da
vid Olmsted, senior class presi
dent, added another sentence to
the previously released , text of
the amendment.
The amendment now read s:
"Any proposal to change student
fees must be read and discussed
at two cabinet meetings and the
final vote taken after the second
reading. A two-thirds majority
shall be required to pass the pro
posal.
"If, however, a petition signed
by ten per cent of the student
body is submitted to an officer
of cabinet within one week after
the first reading, a statistical poll,
conducted by the elections com
mittee and supervised by the Psy
chology department, must be
taken within 30 days and the re
sults presented to cabinet , for con
sideration before ;thefinal vote
is taken on the change in student
fees." •
Political Football
The sentence pertaining to the
two-thirds majority was the ad
dition made by Olmsted.
The proposal drew instant fire
from Clair George, president of
the Board of Dramatics and For
ensics, who called it a "political
football" designed to gain sup
port for the State party.
Cabinet also heard a Crusade
for Freedom report by Thomas
Jurchak, secretary-treasurer,
Jurchak also read a letter from
the mother of the late Donald
Maclntyre, who was killed in an
automobile accident before his
graduation last spring. Mrs. Mac-
Intyre expressed appreciation for
the award which had been sent
to her for her son's meritorious
work in student government while
at the College. The award had
been presented by last year's
cabinet.
British to
Slides of
Campus scenes, familiar to all here at the College, will be ob

England, using the beauties of
Pennsylvania as his subject.

in the field of adult workers' edu

Slap-Happy
Competition
Hits Harvard
It was flappers ,in the 19205, but
it's slappers now. At least it's
the newest—and oddest—colleg
late competition at Harvard since
the goldfish swallowing contests.
Two sophomores at that college
have just completed a non-stop
slapping session in which they
slapped each other every ten sec
onds for 48 hours and ten sec
onds, according to a United Press
report.
The final score—a stinging vic
tory—broke a Russian record of
17,280 slaps by one, and• won for
the two $l2B - from fellow Stu-
I dents who stood by through the
two days to clock them and cheer
them on. As the 17 . ,2815t slap
landed on the red-eyed and red
faced victors over communism
ending their marathon, the men
flopped, exhausted, into bed.
The slappers had sat opposite
each other resting aching arms
on pillows, and stroked away at
360 slaps an hour. Eating bana
nas, drinking orange juice and
black coffee between slaps, they
had managed to keep awa k e,
while hot jazz records blared in
their room.
Seconds massaged their tired
necks and fed the m, cheering
them on to a crimson Harvard
victory over Stalin's Reds.
The men had' faced up to the
rivalry after hearing that two
unidentified Russians had estab
lished a slapping record of 17,280
slaps in 48 hours.

To Hold
'Shindig'
As a result of the success of
last fall's Players Woikshop, the
dramatics group. will hold a
"shindig" at 7:30 p.m. Monday in
10 Sparks to organize a second
five-week workshop series for the
spring semester.
Designed to enable interested
students, faculty and townspeople
to learn more about the technical
and business side of theatrical
productions, the workshop meet
ings will start early next week.
Seven groups will meet for one
hour each week on different
nights, enabling people to join
more than one group. Classes will
be conducted in advertiiing,cos

lights and technical work, 'which
includes paint. and construction.
After an overall picture of dra
matics work- is drawn by officers
and senior crew managers of
Players, the shindig will be brok
en down into small groups where
managers will go into more detail
about each phase of the work.
Workshop activities will be dif
ferent this semester in that stu
dents will work on a hypothetical
play, rather than studying theory
only. For the first five-week ses
sion members will work on the
technical problems - of "The Ad
mirable Crichton." Another play
will be 'chosen for the second
session.
Players are undertaking a long
range plan that will eventually
mean that students will have ,to
attend the workshop in order to
work on Center Stage and Schwab
Auditorium productions, accord
ing to John Price, vice-president.
