STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA The dead girl’s brother, a com bat veteran and an ardent woods man, disappeared, shortly before the body was discovered. He is wanted by police for questioning. No charges have been made. Jean is believed to be in the woods on one of his frequent hunt ing trips. His father said he usual ly spent a lot of time in the woods hunting and trapping. Detectives continued their search through the 1900-acre wooded area but could find no trace of him. The girl’s brother is also being sought in connection with the burglary of an adding machine and a 500 foot length of electrical cord. The machine and cord, stol en from a nearby mining. firm, were found in the Christoff home with several other items now being checked by police. Jean is a former student at Carnegie In stitute of Technology in Pitts burgh. Complains of Health A post mortem indicated the girl had died of strangulation by her own hand. Detectives, how ever, will not list the cause of death until they can talk with Jean. Dr. Richard C. Greene, who performed the autopsy, said it was possible that the victim knot ted the belt herself. While at the College, Miss Christoff complained last month that she was not well and could not apply herself to her studies. She said she was going home to see what could be done about it. She went home Jan. 12 with de ferred grades, but never formally withdrew. She was assigned to student teach at Hallidaysburg this semester.

German Student Stresses Sports By HELEN LUYBEN If the world could learn to play together there’d he no excuse for war, and Harald Lichtendahl, ex change student from Duisburg, Germany, has set out to teach us to play. A member of the 1952 German Olympics hockey team and teach er of athletics, history and geog raphy in Duisburg, Litchtendahl should be well qualified for the job. Lichtendahl, a recreation major, is supplementing his training with courses in American history, poli tical science, and English compo sition. “We were sent here to study the American way of life and to learn of American culture,” he said. - Lichtendahl describes playing on an Olympics team as “thrilling” and “a chance for very good fel lowship among all the countries of the world.’’ He would like to see the world proclaim a univer sal, year-round Olympics celebra tion, if that would bring about the same spirit of cooperation. The German high school teach er, turned student, was chosen as one of 360 German students (from nearly 15,000 applicants) to come to the United States to study. . The exchange-students program is sponsored by the United States State Department, the G e r m a n government, and the National So cial Welfare Association, New York. “We were interviewed for hours,” he said. “I believe I was chosen because I would be .able to talk. to the young people of Germany. And I couldn’t believe I was coming to America—even when we were on the boat.” The boat was the new luxury liner, the United States, and “the four and a half days on the ocean were much too short,” according Nominations For Ag Title Due Today Today is the last time agricul ture seniors may be nominated for Mr., Miss, or Mrs. Agriculture.

He arrived in New York in August of last year and will return to Germany this sum mer. The 30-year-old student is a brother at Tau Kappa Epsilon fra ternity house, where his chief house duty is to train the pledges, he said. Litchtendahl, who just can’t seem to get away from teaching people to play, spent a great deal of time this fall in structing the Women’s Recreation Association field hockey club and, other women’s hockey teams at Bucknell and Loek Haven. Lichtendahl studied at the Uni versity of Berlin, University of Cologne, Sport Hochschule, Co logne, and the Academy of Ket twig, Ruhr.

The two one-act plays will be gin a five-weekend run at 8 p.m. Friday at Center Stage. Written in verse, the plays represent an other theatrical experiment for Flayers.

When he goes back to teach in Duisburg, his 5000 students will probably hear stor iesl of America and college kids at Penn State interspersed in struction in hockey, history and geography!;, Lichtendahl hopes for the event ual unification of east and west Germany but, he said, that would depend upon peace between the East and West powers—Russia and the United States. “The people of Germany .have confidence in the democratic form of government,” he said. “The country was dead at the end of the war. The West provided food and money to rebuild German in dustry.” Lichtendahl denied that Ger many wants to become a strong nationalist country again. Accord ing to him, “Eighty out of 100 school boys are afraid to go to war. They have seen that war is bad. Once you were held in high esteem if you were a soldier, but that is no longer the case.” , The unification of western, and possibly all of Europe into a Uni ted States of Europe is the hope of this German teacher. “The countries haven’t a chance for sur vival alone,” he said. “Unification will be difficult because of lan guage barriers and the traditional nationalism, which exists, but it is possible. It may not come for five years, or ten, or even dur ing our lifetime, but we can still work toward it.” The fate of this world is in the hands of its children. If children could be taught to “laugh and be merry, better the world with a song, like brothers akin, laugh till the game is played,” (from “Laugh and Be Merry,” by John Mase field), Harald Lichtendahl would be satisfied. night,” Yeaton said. In the 40- minute “Phoenix,” he found a happy medium. With International Theater month beginning March 1. “Aria da Capo” will prove an appropri ate curtain-raiser for the Fry pro duction. Written in 1920 when the ravages of World War I still scarred Europe, the play is a sim ple allegory directed against uni versal misunderstanding and war.
