Laughton erjoys reading Mark Twain, James Thurber, and Thomas Wolfe. The English-born actor is famous for his rendition of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. He first recited ft in a movie, “Ruggles of Red Gap,” and he es timates he has recited the speech about 2000 times since then. “When I arrive at a college town,” Laughton once remarked, “I talk with a lot of professors But mostly with boys and girls who are busv getting their educa- Tickels for Thursday's Com munity Forum program.

Beaver - Ph. 7661 U.S. Probes Discussed By Lelyveld By LEN GOODMAN Searching for and establishing the relevancies between our re ligious and moral heritage and our modem life will expose Mc- Carthyism as the insidious move ment it is, declared Arthur J. Lelyveld, rabbi and national di rector of the 200 Hillel Founda tions, Sunday afternoon at the local foundation. Illustrating his talk with teach ings gleaned from the Jewish Talmud, the exegetical commen taries, Lelyveld maintained that if the heritage is forsaken, factors of enrichment of our society are also lost. By exposing the “nightmare quality” of the investigations at which 1 the committee is at once prosecutor, judge, and jury, we will at the same time expose the inherent disregard for due pro cess in the investigations, and the lack of faith in democratic ideals of committee-members, he said. The Talmud, for instance, main tains a deep respect for due pro cess throughout, and places the individual under an “obligation to search for the whole truth, and to avoid half truths,” he added. And, too, the teachings warn one to be on guard against situ ations that shame one’s neighbor. Thus, the heritage does have di rect relevance to contemporary events, he said. Another characteristic of Mc- Carthyism is the actual inherent stupidity in the movement, he added. It would seem that its adherents understood better what it opposed than what it advocated, he said, for the movement seems to be a “tilting at symbols for advantages to the tilter.” The term “McCarthyism” is al so being used as a term of whip ping by the Soviets, Lelyveld de clared, to’ obscure the evils of the Russian system. Draft Examination Set for Thursday A total of 342 students will take the Selective Service College Qualification Test from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursday in 121 Sparks. Dr. Hugh M.

Tailors Counselors Oust Collegian Reporter A Daily Collegian reporter was asked to leave a meeting of the Association of Fraternity Counselors last night at Chi Phi fraternity. The group was scheduled to hear a panel discussion on the <lub ject, “Informal Initiation Practices,” led by Clarence I. Noll, Robert E. Emmers, and William S. Dye 111. This was the first time the Daily Collegian sent a reporter to cover a meeting of this group. Several counselors stated they understood the meeting would be an informal discussion and they would feel freer to discuss the subject if their remarks were not quoted in the press. After a short discus sion the reporter was asked to leave. After the meeting Nicholas M. Brentin, president of the group, disclosed that several areas of fraternity pledge training had been discussed. Hell week or help week was the chief subject discussed, Bren tin said, The group reached the conclusion that hell weeks are here to stay but they generally felt that hell week activities have improved during the last few years. Several members offered con crete suggestions for improving hell week, Brentin said. Chief among these was to set aside regular study and sleeping hours while these hell weeks are in progress, and also to allow extra study time to pledges who have blue books during the hell week, he said. Another suggestion offered, Brentin said, was to keep hell week activities inside fraternity houses. This suggestion has been largely followed the last few years, Brentin stated.
