PAGE EIGHT Faculty Luncheon Club Sorauf Speaks On McCarthy Senator Joseph McCarthy trades on the weakest of all political bases, fickle public favor, and when that deserts him, his decline will be as rapid as his rise, summarized Frank J. Sorauf, instructor in political science, at the Faculty Luncheon Club yesterday in the State College Hotel. Sorauf was speaking on McCarthy's, Wisconsin senator, political career—what made it, and what sustains it now. What makes McCarthy great is his power to capitalize on the feeling of the times, Sorauf said. McCarthy started his career this way when he was just out of the marines, ne explained. He used the war spirit which pre vailed to get elected, Sorauf said. Polls Less Votes in 1952 Memorial Day Observance Is Scheduled Memorial Day at the University will be observed Sunday with the raising of the flag in front of Old Main and the placing of wreaths by student leaders_ The program will begin at 7 a.m. when students from the Re serve Officers Training Corps will raise the flag to half mast.

By MARNIE SCHENCK r In the 1952 elections "after he discovered Communists," McCar thy polled less votes than other Republicans, on the slate. This does not show too much, how -1 ever, Sorauf said, as Thomas Fairchild was better known to the I people of Wisconsin than any of the other Democrats running. McCarthy capitalizes also on Wisconsin political tradition, Sor auf stated. Wisconsin has long been the home of politicians with flamboyant and dynamic person alities. They trade on their• names and the general feeling of isola tion in Wisconsin. Sorauf thinks that he has taken the worst part of R o b e r t LaFollette's politics, without taking the good. As for national politics, Sorauf said, McCarthy has risen because of the want by some for isolation, the insecurity in the world, and the suspicion that the "ship of state" is floundering. Sorauf said he feels that ex-president Harry S. Truman failed to channel these fears, not that he was the cause of McCarthy's rise but that he might, have relieved thZ reasons why McCarthy rose. Politician's Climb Is Slow Sorauf pointed out that politi cians who last are those with or ganizations behind them. The climb is slow, and the care for making friends is great. McCar thy, he said, has climbed without care for organization or caution. He exerts no real influence in the party policies. For instance, the University of Wisconson still al lows Communists to attend school and even permits a Communist student organization, Sorauf said. McCarthy is a displaced person; he is the rallying point for politi cal extremists, Sorauf said. Mc- Carthy fluctuates greatly though. A little known fact about McCar thy is that he was a rabid Demo crat in the 30s, Sarauf stated. There have been McCarthys be fore, Sorauf said. For instance, Huey Long.

STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA CLASSIFIEDS FOE SALE FOR RENT students and ROOM & BOARD Sophomores To Honor Ten Frosh Ten freshman men are being honored by the sophomore class as their project for this year, Hugh Cline, class president, an nounced yesterday. The men include Robert Ben nett, Forrest Crawford, Frank Ely, Robert Gellman, William Johnson, Steven Jordan, Samuel Kahn, James Musser, David Scott, and Robert Segal. These • freshmen were selected by a sophomore committee, head ed by Rudolph Lutter. The com mittee contacted all groups to which a freshman man could be long. The active freshmen sug gested by these groups we r e judged by a point system, similar to the one used by men's hat so cieties. The freshmen were judged on extra-curricular activities an d sports participation. Scholastic average was a minor point in the selection. Shingles, certificates of honor, will be given to these ten fresh men next fall. The committee which chose these men has also suggested they be given points toward membership in a hat so ciety in their junior year. Hugh Cline will present the names of the men to All-University cabinet Thursday.. The committee feels this has been a worthy project. Although Cwens honors freshman women, outstanding freshman men have gone unrecognized for years. "I hope sophomore classes or a com mittee selected by cabinet will continue this project on in the future," Cline said. The sophomore committee that selected the men will remain ac tive until the honors are awarded.

Explosive Analyzer _ puter to analyze the structure of HMX, the most , powerful organic explosive known. - An article appeared in the May 24 issue of Life magazine on X-RAC, invented, by Ray Pepinsky, research professor of physics. Pepinsky's X-RAC, which computes the exact atomic com position of an unknown compound, has reduced the drudgery usually associated with such research so there is no computational difficulty. About 20 people from outside the country are working at the University with X-RAC. Three people from Massachusetts Institute of Technology were at the University last week to use the computer. Work is done on bio-chemicals of medical importance. Chemi cal analysis and explanations of physical properties of compounds, which formerly would take scientists years to solve, are accom plished in a matter of seconds by X-RAC.
