Harry Wismer will interview members of the team on his "Sports Ten" radio program at 9:05 tonight. The nationally 'broadcast program will be carried o v WMAJ. Penn State's national collegiate gymnastics championship team will oppose the Swedish stars Sat urday, Jan. 16, in Recreation Hall. This will be the first of five meets in which the foreign gym nasts will compete in this country. Linden is Swedish Coach Erik Linden, coach of the Swed ish team, will also send his ath letes into competition against the University of Minnesota, the Uni versity of Illinois, the Midwest Gymnastics Association, and Flor ida State University. The remain der of the 34 stops on the itinerary will consist of gymnastic exhi bitions rather than actual dual meet competition. Gene Wettstone, Nittany coach and U.S. Olympic coach in 1948,, drew up the schedule. There are 16 members in the Swedish group which will tour 18 states. Thirteen members of this group are gymnasts. Eight gymnasts from Sweden's 1952 Olympic team will make the trip. Linden, who coached several Swedish Olympic gym teams, has tour e d England, Scandanavia, Westren Europe, Italy, and Rus sia with gymnastic squads. Began Practice in October In addition to the eight Olym pians on the team there are five stars who were selected from test competition and an inter national meet with Denmark. The Swedes defeated Denmark, and according to 011 e Areborn, chief instructor at the Swedish Gym nastic Federation in Stockholm, Sweden, have be e n practicing since October for their tour of this country. Tickets are now on sale at the Athletic Association Office in Old Main and at Keeler's and Gra ham's in town. Prices range from $1 for balcony seats to 50 cents for bleacher seats. Money ob tained from ticket sales will be turned over to the Swedes to help defray their expenses. The Swedish team has received financial support from various sources in Sweden, Areborn said. The squad will tour the nation by bus. Members of the team helped raise funds before leaving home, but the financial problem is still of primary importance. Swedish Team To Get LaVies, Lion Replicas Members of the Swedish na tional gymnastic team w ill be presented with small replicas of the Penn State Nittany Lion and copies of the 1953 LaVie as sou venirs of their stay at the Uni versity Jan. 15-17, David A. - rnold, A 11- College secretary-treasurer, has announced. Each of the 16 members of the Swedish team, which will com pete with the University gymnasts Jan. 16 in Recreation Hall, will receive a Lion statue and a copy of LaVie at the meet in behalf of the University student body, Arnold said. Statues to Cost $l2B . Funds for purchase of the Lion statues, which will cost $l2B, will be taken from student funds, Ar nold Said. Although the expendi ture would normally require ap proval by All-College Cabinet af ter two meetings, Arnold said he felt confident cabinet members would support the project when the recommendation is presented to them. More than half the cabinet mem bers have been contacted and have agreed to support the recom mendation, Arnold said last night. Cabinet was unable to meet this week because of renovations in the meeting room, 201 Old Main. Arnold said lack of time made it necessary for the All-College Cab inet executive board (Arnold and All-College President Richard Lemyre) to assume responsibility for the expenditure. Reception Plans Plans for the reception of the Swedes, as announced b 3 David Jones, chairman of the cabinet committee set up to welcome them, begin with a reception when the foreign team arrives Jan. 15 at Beta Theta Pi fraternity, where they will stay for the week end.

The exciting Left Bank s p ark les diamond-like in its process of aWakening." This is how Ruth C. Silva, as sistant professor of political sci ence, described the fascinating French city as she saw it from the Sacre Coeur on the top of Mont Marte, the highest point in Paris. Professor Silva spent 13 days of her Christmas vacation in Paris. At this time of year it is not the tourist city of the summer; it is the city of the real Frenchman, she said. They are not viewing Americans as tourists, and conse quently, treat them more cor dially. Plane Complications The trip was taken by plane from New York. At the time, Paris ground men at the airport were on strike so the plane landed first in Ireland and was grounded for a day and a half. It then went on to Brussels, and from there she went to Paris by train be cause of the complication. Thus, an 18 hour trip was ex tended to cover two days. Profes sor Silva's trip to Paris last year was also complicated by a strike. Everyone, ju s t everyone, that goes to Paris is supposed to have tea on the three levels of the Eif fel Tower, each of which is a restaurant, so Miss Silva followed suit. One can get a good view of the city from the top level of the tower. She ate Christmas dinner in the Cafe de la Paix in Opera Square. Food in France is "elegant," but expenc•:ve, Miss Silva said. In the Latin Quarter there is a THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Student Quarter. There, in a 15th Century Wine Cellar Miss Silva and her companions met some American students. The place in old, old Paris was a dungeon and one of the acts in the present day night club there is a guillotine stunt. A member of the audience volunteers to .be beheaded—quite expectedly, it was one of the American students who volun teered. The Bastille Quarter The Bastille Quarter, the rough est section of the city,' compared to San Francisco's China Town when it was notorious, said Pro fessor Silva. Miss Silva also visited the Folies-Bergere, an Egyptian night club, the Lido, and the Casino de Paris. The people in Paris dress much like those in New York. The low incomes are very much out of proportion with the high food and clothing prices. The French should be admired for their ap pearance with these adverse con ditions, she said. Only perfume, champagne, and meat cuts are cheap compared with American standards. French Have Color TV Very surprisingly, the French have color television. The sets are very expensive. Thus, on the ave nues where electrical stores are located, crowds of Frenchmen fill the streets. Relatively few TV antennae are seen on the homes of the city as compared with the United• States. The floor shows in Paris are fre quently take-offs from the Ameri can way of living. The Yankee is portrayed as a gum-chewing crea ture, combining traits of every European type, IFC Names 6 Chairmen Of Projects Six men were named to com mittee chairmanships at last niglit's meeting of the Interfrat ernity Council including John Carpenter of Sigma Alpha Epsi lon, head of Greek Week, and Harry Sawyer of Phi Sigma Kap pa, head of the selections corn ' mittee for the awarding of the outstanding fraternity • cup. Other appointments, announced by IFC president Thomas Schott, were Alan Schneirov of Phi Epsi lon Pi as chairman of Greek Week work projects, Richard Dolan of Kappa Delta Rho as head of the fraternity safety committee, Ar thur Anderson of Tau Kappa Ep silon in charge of - the IFC publi city brochure, and Diehl McKalip of Sigma Phi Sigma as head of IFC publications. 0. Edward Pollock, assistant to the dean of men in charge of frat ernity affairs, repeated his request that delinquent houses :urn in their reports on membership and where they obtained their Christ mas evergreens. He said 11 of the latter are still out, and he will release the results as soon as they are received. All but four of the membership forms are in, he reported. He named the groups who have not returned their rosters as Alpha Epsilon Pi, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, and Phi Sigma Delta. Pollock informed the IFC there would be no fraternity-dormitory exchanges at the beginning of second semester so that dorm res idents could move into fraterni ties. University officials reported that' because of the small num ber of changes in the dorms it was unnecessary. Schott said the IFC executive committee would meet today with the intention of setting a date when formal fraternity pledging of rushees may begin. He said he thought it would be about the second week of February. Information Lacking On Weston's Condition No information was avail able at the University yester day as to the condition of Pearl 0. Weston, dean of women, who is a patient at Mercy Hos pital, Pittsburgh. Dean Weston is recovering from a surgical operation. She was•admitted to the hospital last Thursday. • to Paris Most Parisian newspapers are of the sensational type. On the front pages of most are a few international news stories and lots of gossip and scandal scoops, Miss Silva said. The papers are smaller than the newspapers in this coun-. try. Usually they average six to 12 pages. .4.N 1;t •„. • ~._,..„.„.,..,„ .... „,,.... ~.. .....

The mural, which .will be painted in shades of brown, traces the development of Judaism from Adam to contemporary man. Chilean Art Student Paints HiHet Murals Brotherhood at Penn State is being extended beyond theory this week as a Chilean art student, Roman Catholic by faith, draws murals of Judaic principles and development in the Hillel Founda tion. Maria Antonieta Terrazas, resident of Santiago, Chile, has been working since September on a thesis mural which symbolically traces Judaism from the first man, Adam, to the present day Jew and contemporary vision of a new Jerusalem. Five Feet Tall Mrs. Terrazas, a tiny dark haired woman not more than five feet tall, began her art education doctoral work at the University this fall, after receiving a masters degree in fine arts at the Ohio State University in 1951. A na tive of South America, she chose the mural thesis as a work which would be least handicapped by any demand for oral concept. The first paper sketches of the mural were preceded by two months research on the history and interpretation of :rudaism. Her study was through the Bible, books, Rabbi Benjamin Kahn, and her professor Viktor Lowenfeld. Her extensive research not only made possible her illustrative conception of Judaism, but as Mrs. Terrazas said, "cleared up many misconceptions I had of that faith." She added with a smile, "It's not often that a Catholic puts his hand in another religion." At present the mural is in a charcoal drawing stage. Drawn on a wall 48 feet long, the figures of the work are over six feet high. Free Lecture Christian Science Lecturer: Subject: Place: 110 Electrical Engineering Bldg. Time: Tuesday, Januray 12, , 1954 By PEGGY McCLAIN The picture-story reads from left to right along the wall. It begins with the first man Adam, surrounded by representatives of the four succeeding races. Hover ing over the group is a symbol of Hillel, ancient Jewish .rabbi, pointing to a cluster of contem porary internationally pertinent objects . . the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, and most domi nant of all, the United Nations Building. In explanation of this presenta tion, Mrs. Terrazas said she tried to trace the primitive origin of the races through Adam, to the modern union of nations through the UN. Beside the rabbi Hi/lel stands another figure, representative of the Gentile who asked "to learn the law while standing on one foot." It was here, Mrs. Terrazas explained, that Hillel told the Gentile the Golden Rule, freely translated "Love thy neighbor as thyself." The prophet Isaiah is also shown in the mural. •He stands near the Gentile, in surveyance of a group of symbols of Judaic prin ciples . . . peace, symbolized by a child, a lion, and a lamb sitting (Continued on page eight) ... .............................. ••• ••••• • •••• •• • •••••v •••• • • •••• ..... •• • • RICHARD KNOX LEE, C.S.B. of London, England.
