All-College Cabinet

All-College Cabinet has tabled
the proposed football half-holi

The proposal can be brought

fusing to return to communism
and 359 allies, including 23 Amer
icans,.. who turned down direct
repatriation. These prisoners, are
awaiting the. start• of explanations
by both sides aimed at persuading
them to change their minds.
Recently, after Indian troops
killed three prisoners and wound
ed ten in putting dizwn two riots,
South Korea's 'government sent a
note—relayed by the Bth Army—,
threatening armed action against
the - Indians.
The UN Command assured the
Indian custodial officers that neb
essary precautions 'have been
taken "to ensure no 'external
forces' enter the neutral zone."
The command also turned over
a statement to be read to the
prisoners saying the Allies "could
not condone" any mass breakouts.
The assurance and the warning
were contained in two letters
from Brig. Gen. A. L. Hamblen,
Allied repatriation commander, to
Lt. Gen. ,K. S. Thimayya, Indian
chairman of the Neutral Nations
Repatriation Commission.

the laugh-provoking lines of Mr. Her
bert nor the fine acting of Nancy
May was enough to counterbal
ance the obvious faults of the
production.
The most apparent shortcoming
of the show was the ignorance
of the actors to the words they
were to spout forth, but this sit
uation probably will be : overcome
by more practice with director
Robert' D. Reifsneider. Perhaps
with its next show it might be
a good 'idea for Players to hold
a few more rehearsals for it is

May Is Superb
Ken Williams Jr. and Homfard
Warren both unfortunately dis
play an inability to pick up their
cues. This. resulted in an immense
letdown in mood whenever the
two were on stage alone. Happily
though, there was always the
hope that Nancy May would tre
turn from the wings to again put
life into the production and save
the audience from uncomfortable
boredom.
Miss •May was superb in her
performance as- the chaste, can
did adventuress who amazes and
delights everyone. With a spark
ling demonstration of spirit and
vitality and by lending some of
her vivacity to the other charac
ters, she succeeded in uplifting
the whole vein of the play.
The most, comfortable moments
came when she and Howard War
ren appeared alone. Only then
did the small talk seem free and
easy.
Makeup, Wardrobe No Asiet
Although Warren, as the 'im
moral., middle-aged libertine, had
several faults, he, nevertheless
presented a picture of the utmost
amiability, and it is not at all
difficult to understand why Miss
May says she likes him.
His makeup and wardrobe es
pecially, certainly didn't treat
him as being anywhere near mid
dle-age, and his southern accent,
although in general handled very
well, occasionally drifted into
one with a 'Brooklynese' flavor. I
As the play progressed in time,
so did Warren in character, and
it' is a shame he has never before
appeared with Players. He seems

Lomplaint.. Sent to Prexy
By
Bellevue' Manager
A letter from Bennett E. *Tousley, vice preident and
general manager of the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel in Phila
delphia, criticizing the conduct of students in his hotel after
the Pennsylvania football game, was released yesterday from
tie President's office by Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of
student affairs.
"As far as I .am concerned," Tousley stated, "these ath
letic contests between Pennsylvania and Penn State ought
to be canceled if they are going to produce as an aftermath
such riotous scenes as were wit
nessed here last Saturday"
ApprOximately 1700 students
from the College stayed in the
Bellevue-Stratford.
Students Suspected of Attack
"The. evening was as bad as it
was in 1952, with total disregard
for hotel property and the safety
of the people patronizing the ho
tel, or for that matter, those on
the street," Tousley charged. "BOt
tles were thrown out . the windows
into the court, and unfortunately
on to Broad street, as well, several
of them • narrowly missing people.
Furniture was thrown out of the
windows, many of the - rooms
were left in a filthy condition,
and there was damage to furni
ture and equipment." •
Bell-hop Attacked .
Tousley said- he was not in a
position to say if the attackers of
David McKee, 30; Bellevue-Strat
ford bellhop, were students. "But
because of known actions of other
Penn State students, naturally it
is suspected- that those who at
tacked McKee were from .the Col
lege," he said.
McKee, who m Tousley de
scribed as "one of the nicest boys
we have here," was taken to Jef
ferson Hospital after being at
tacked eal•ly Sunday morning
while using a house telephone.
Tousley said doctors believe Mc-
Kee has a ruptured kidney and
liver.
The men who attacked McKee
were described as about 25 years
old., McKee told hotel authorities
he could identify his assailants if
he saw them'again.
