Religious'
By BETTIE LOUX
The conflict between two active
"religions" was fought out in the
heart of a passionate human being
last night as the Penn State Play
ers brought Bernard Shaw's brisk
comedy- "Major Barbara" to Cen
ter Stage to stay, unfortunately,
for six weekends only.
Under the guiding hand of Di
rector Walter H. Walters, a gen
erally strong cast including many
experienced Players and a very
[ promising newcomer in the title
role has done an above-average
job with a remarkable, but diffi
cult, social comedy.
"Major Barbara," - its theses
pointed up by satire that had a
packed audience in stitches, at
tacks the fallacy of preaching to,
or t' helping the poor simply be
cause they • are poor.
The only chance for individual
salvation lies in the cleansing of
society as a whole, it says, rather
than by bribing conversions out of
the poor with crusts of bread.
Barbara, an officer in the Sal
vation Army, is the daughter of
millionaire Andrew Undershaft,
chief partner in a vast munitions
works. He has been separated
from his wife Lady Britomart for
years, during which time he has
not seen his children, •but as the

Clash *ri, Shaw PI
BARBARA (no longer a Major) Undershaft, portrayed by April
Heinsohn, listens seriously to her millionaire father, Andrew Un
dershaft, played by Richard Anderson, as he argues for a "money
and guns''' . philosophy in the final scene of George Bernard Shaw's
"Major Barbara," which began its run at Center Stage last night.
Watching Barbara attentively is her love, Adolphus Cusins, played
by Myron Cole, known throughout the play affectionately as
"Dolly." "Dolly," a poet , and professor of Greek, follows Barbara
and her philosophies during the play.
FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
Coach Elmer Gross cleared the bench last night as the
Lions opened their basketball season with a 56-43 win over
Alfred University.
The Lions had just too much height for their opponents
as Sledzik and Arnelle controlled both backboards. Time
and again the Saxons would
bring the
. ball up court only to
lose it after a shot.
Roberts Paces Alfred
Jesse Arnelle was the games'
high scorer with a total of 18
points. He made seven out of 14
shots at the basket for a percen
tage of 50. The second leading
scorer for the Lions was Captain
Herm Sledzik. On some very fine
shooting and rebounding, the 6-4
senior was able to score 16 points.
His total was also a good 50 per
cent—five out of 10 shots.
The Lions' will play their sec
ond game tonight against the
Presidents from Washington and
Jefferson. Starting time is 8 p.m.
and a preliminary game at 6 p.m.
between the Frosh and the JV's.
The W&J team has all of their
starting five back from last
year's team which last year
scored an upset victory over the
Lions in the last few minutes of
play.
For the Saxons, it was their
little forward Bud Roberts who
led the scoring column. His 16
points were mostly made on drive
ins and sets.
Lions Pull Away
The Lions got off to a slow start
and were only able to connect on
20 per cent of their shots in the
first quarter. Sinking basket for
basket both teams kept even with
each other and at the end of the
quarter the Saxons were leading,
12-11.
The game picked up tempo in
the second quarter. Between Ar
nelle, Sherry, and Sledzik the
Lions slowly began to pull ahead.
Again it was the excellent defen
sive work on the part of the Lions
that kept the Saxons from scor
ing.
Just as the buzzer for the end
of the half sounded, Arnelle on a
jump shot, dropped the ball
through the hoop to give the Lions
a 30-20 lead. -
