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.

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,

tacular, their party makes the

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.
