Pitt Conduct- (Continued from page one) About noon they were loaded into burlap bags and taken to the Tuck Shop, a cafeteria in the base ment of the Pitt Cathedral where they were put on exhibition. "When they let us out of the bags it looked as if the whole Pitt student body was after us," Fleming said, "so we had to get out of there fast." He said they ran into the street where two members of the Pi Kappa Alpha house at Pitt were waiting with cars to rescue them. "They drove me to my girl's house where I was staying for the weekend and drove Tony to his home a block away," he said. The hoax caused quite a sen sation. Fleming said he walked intoa newsstand where he saw a lady reading an account of the cap ture in the Pittsburgh Press. She turned to him and asked what he thought Pitt students would do with the two renegades. "I don't know," Fleming re plied, "but I hear they're really a ,couple of tough characters." Fleming also said that the pre game pep rally was one of the largest he had ever seen. It had been rumored that the two "cap tives" might be turned loose at that time. But they weren't. Two captives were let out of the bag in the stadium before the game. How ever, the two weren't Fldming or Lusanti. They were two pledges from the Pitt PiKA house, who stood in while the Penn State pair enjoyed themselves. • • Fra rn teohes— (Continued from page one) The president believed that pledging without a 1.0 average was in direct violation of the code and was detrimental to the fraternity system, Smith said. Theta Xi and Phi Kappa were fined $25 each for failing to turn in pledge cards and a $2.00 fee to IFC for one of their pledges. The IFC rushing and pledging code states "No rushee shall be recognized as pledged by the IFC until an official acceptance card and the $2.00 pledge fee is re ceived." Smith said that these two cases were discovered during a check of fraternity rushing and pledging practices now being conducted by the IFC Rushing Chairman John Russell. Smith said he wished to stress to fraternities that they must turn in acceptance cards and pledge fees for each man as he is pledged. He said that adherence to this rule will p - ..ev:2nt ruoccurrences of fines such as were imposed on Theta Xi and Phi Kappa. String Band Is Organized By 3 Students "Oh, 'Dem Golden Slippers." Strains of the familiar Mum mers' Day string band tune may soon be filtering through the cam pus. Organization of a string band has been begun by Richard Hat ton, third semester physics ma jor; Wayne Wise, second semester industrial arts major; and John Light, third semester arts and let ters major. Hatton, who plays the banjo and has had six years experience in Philadelphia string banns; Wise, who plays the guitar; and Light, wno plays the saxophone, decided they would like to organize a smug Dana composed of frater nity men. So last week they vis ited fraternities trying to recruit men to play in the band. They expected a fair number of men to be interested, but they never expected to get the names of approximately 70 , men who wish to be in the string band. The band will be composed of I fraternity men who play all types of instruments from the banjo to the bass fiddle, saxophone, clari net, and accordion. Wise said the men are organ izing to have fun by playing in the band, but after Thanksgiving when they formulate their plans, they hope to give enjoyment to the other University students by playing at special events. Chest Rally-- (Continued from page one) receive chest funds. Smith and John Robinson, sol icitations chairman, will speak briefly to the grOup. Solicitors will begin Dec. 1 to visit their prospective donors in dividually. Every student in the University should be called on at some time during the three-day campaign, Smith said. • Solicitors will turn money in to the Student Union desk in Old .Main from 7 p.m. to midnight Dec. 1 and all day Dec. 2 and 3, Smith said. The names of groups contribut ing the most money will be an nounced Dec. 4, John Brunner, tabulations chairman, said. oking-CancerTie • uestioned By TED SERRILL Although a definite relation ship between the heavy smok ing of cigarettes and lung cancer has been established, it is possibly due to the ner vous disposition of the smoker rather than any dangerous factor in the smoke, Dr. Clifford 0. Jen sen, professor of phytochemistry, said last week. Speaking before the T_Aiebig Chemical Society, Dr. Jensen said a statistical study of 187,000 men by Doctors E. Cuyler Hammond and Daniel Horn of the American Cancer Society proved there is a parallel relationship between heavy smoking of cigarettes and lung cancer. But, he said, the report, which came out last June, does not prove that there is a definite cause and effect relationship between smok ing and cancer.

PERITIViIIiO4IA Debate Team Places3d,4th In 2 Meets The Penn State men's debate team placed fourth in a debate representing 43 colleges at the University of Vermont and third in a tournament at Muhlenberg College in competition with 19 other teams last weekend. In th e Vermont tournament, Benjamin Sixiclair, seventh semes ter prelaw major, and Sidney Goldblatt, seventh semester pre medical major, debating the af; firmative of the topic "Resolved: That the United States Should Recognize Communist Chin a" scored three wins , and two losses. Edward Klevans, third semester electrical-engineering major, and David Meckler, seventh semester premedical major, taking the neg ative side won four debates and lost one. Dartmouth College was the win ner of the tournament. At the Muhlenberg tournament, John Boyd, seventh semester edu cational major, and Ernest Fa mous, seventh semester arts and letters major, defeated four col leges debating the affirmative of the topic. On the negative side, Mark Wiener, seventh semester arts and letters major, and Jona than Plaut, third semester indus trial engineering major, scored two wins and two losses. The tournament was won - by Georgetown University. Wiener will appear on Edward R. Murrow's television program from 10 to 10:30 tonight in a panel discussion with members from Princeton and Temple Uni versity debate teams. Prof Discusses— (Continued from page one) charitable in death," he said, "but when it comes to Vishinsky one finds it difficult. "It was Vishinsky, as Stalin's legal hatchetman, who conducted the notorious grand inquisition that led to thy execution of the old Bolsheviks. It was Vishinsky who subverted Latvia in 1940 and Rumania in 1946. And it was Vishinsky in 1954 who daily pros ecuted the United States and the United Nations," Dr. Aspaturian said. harmful to human beings in either tobacco or its smoke. Statistics released by Ham mond and Horn show that there is a high death rate from lung cancer among men of 50 to 69 years who smoke a pack, or more of cigarettes per day. They found that 94.1 per 100,000 men in this age group died within a year of their questioning. Compared with this only 31 men per 10.0,000 died who smoked less than one pack a day, 8.4 died per 100,000 who smoked cigars or pipes, and 9.1 per 100,000 died who never smoked, Dr. Jensen • If, as these statistics show, Dr. Jensen said, only the heavy smok ing of cigarettes will produce lung cancer among all varieties of to bacco smoking, such cancer prob ably is due to something outside the tobacco itself. Some believe that Cigarette paper might be the cause of lung cancer. It seems strange that such paper might be behind lung can- Faculty Publish University faculty members are the authors of eight re cently published books, ranging in subject from Pennsylvania German grammar to deductive logic to the famous editor of a famous newspaper. Some of the books are in use as textbooks. One, is a novel about German prisoners of war, Dr. John A. Mourant/Profesgor of philosophy, has edited "Read ings in Philosophy of Religion," a collection of 55 essays on ma jor theological questions. The essays come under' -. the headings of God, faith, mysticism, evil, and eschatology. Besides a general introduction there are notes on the individual essays and their authors. The book is being used at the University. "Elementary Deductive Logic" is the title of a textbook recently published by Dr. Henry W. John stone; assistant professor of phil osophy. The author omits the fields of inductive logic and semantics, be lieving most texts of elementary logic are too long, and limits him self to orderly presentation of de ductive logic. "The Case for Poetry" has been published by Dr. Frederick Gwynn and Dr. Arthur 0. Lewis, associate professors of English lit erature, and Dr. Ralph Condee, assistant professor of English lit erature. The volume is being used on campus as a text. About 200 poems ranging from Anon and Chaucer to Dylan Thomas and Yeats are presented with explanatory footnotes. Many of the poenis are accompanied by two or three, conflicting . interpre tations eithers by prominent crit ics or by the editors. Dr. Albert F. Buffington, pro fessor of German, has written. "A Pennsylvania German Grammar" in collaboration with Dr. Preston A. Barba of Muhlenberg College. Published by Schlechter's of Al lentown, this first Pennsylvania German grammar since 1889, deals with Germanic origins, spelling, and prounciation problems, in ad dition to lesson outlines, maps, and -word lists. The book was designed for both class and lay use. Dr. Hubert Steiner, professor of German, continued his task of editing the works of Hugo - von cer, Dr. Jensen said, as it is made of pure flax and is treated only with calcium carbonate. One scientific team has found, the chemical benzpyrene, which induces cancer in mice, in cigar ette paper. It is doubtful that hu mans get enough of this chemical to inflict lung cancer, he said. • There remains the possibility, which Dr. Jensen favors, that heavy smokers get lutg cancer because of some inherent factor in their makeup that produces it, rather than anything in the smoke of the tobacco or paper. Of all these reports, including one that reported the forming of skin cancers on mice who were subjected to concentrated tars from cigarette-smoking machines, Dr. Jensen considers the Ham mand-Horn study the most im portant. It at least proves conclusively that there is some kind of a defi nite connection between heavy cigarette smoking by men over 50 and lung cancer, he said. _ TIMDAY,, KICYMMETZ 1154 Members Eight Books Hofmannsthal with two more vol umes this year.
