Thanksgiving Is Indeed More Than Turkey For the University student the meaning of Thanksgiving extends beyond the symbolic sig. nifigance of turkey. For the average freshman it is his first trip home to see his parents, his first chance to tell them about college life. For the borderline freshman, it is a day of reckoning—his first face-to-face explanation of his first below grades. For the sophomore, Thanksgiving is the time for decision-making—when after the first blue book in his tough "major" course he decides to switch from chem eng to business.' And the career-minded coed pre-med ,major looks to home ec for satisfaction in view of her pros pects of getting pinned and her sudden desire to face the reality that medicine is just not practical for a woman.. The junior just goes home because he hasn't enough money to get to New York. He is al ready on the road to becoming a campus wheel —why it's amazing how many people he speaks to on the Mall from Sparks to the Corner Room. In fact, he's anxious to get back to resume his development as a spinning wheel. _ . Junior women are not disappointed in Thanks giving. For it is a time for mass pinning and when their already-ladened sweaters glisten with new jewelry the recess will not have been in vain. And of course the after effects are many discordant dining hall "Best Wishes" (and "Congratulations" for those who .pre ferred diamonds to pins). These are followed up by icy serenades which are usually postponed so long . that they are pervaded by another holiday spirit—Christmas, of course. The senior is indeed a strange one at Thanks giving. For like the freshman he may have to explain a below grade. but unlike the fresh man, it is not his first. He won't decide to change his major—whetla- World Affairs Confuse Man By J. M. ROBERTS AP News Analyst This is a season in both domestic and foreign affairs when a man has every right to be confused. A friend of mine has a sign under the glass on top of his deck which reads: "If you can keep a level head in all this confusion you just don't understand the situation." The difficulty, of course, lies not so much in the situations themselves as in the variety of official and semi-official opin ion expressed regarding them. Several courses are open to a man deluged with these opin ions. He can believe nothing he hears and only half of what he sees. He can find, in the end less variety of expressions. al most anything that he wants WAF Concert Set for Schwab The Women's Air Force band, consisting of women from all parts of the nation, will present a concert at Schwab auditorium at 8 p.m. Nov. 28. The American Legion and its auxiliary are sponsoring the con cert in cooperation with the Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps squadron as a benefit for the Legion's Youth Welfare Fund. Members of Angel Flight will act as hostesses and usher at the per formance. The band is a non-profit organ ization which performs at bene fits for the promotion of good will. There are eight Pennsylvania women in the band. Capt. Mary- Belle Nissly, director, is from Lancaster and Martha Jean Aw kerman, a former student of the University, is from Mount Union.

Ist. MI to believe. Or he can search for the motives of the pundits, political or otherwise, and try to refine a little horse sense out of a lot of hogwash, a sci entific problem with some of the aspects of trying to add ap ples and pears. For instance, one of the chief Allied reasons for entering the late lamented negotiations with Russia at Geneva was to• test Russian intentions. The tests revealed the intentions to be the same as usual—no agree ments except on terms which would aid Communist expan sion. Yet President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Secretary John F. Dulles and Premier Nikolai Bulganin are all saying, in ef fect, that Geneva was only an initial failure, and that some thing good will come out of it yet. The President and the Sec retary, of course, are required by their jobs to maintain an Campus Positions Dropped by Two Campus party's faculty advisor and vice clique chairman an nounced their resignations last week. Frank J. Sorauf, assistant pro fessor of political science, told members of the Senate subcom mittee on organization and char ters Thursday that he resigned as advisor because the party was not working with him. Harold Dean, senior in arts and letters from Uniontown, resigned as vice clique chairman because, he said, there is no group now on campus running the parties the way they should be run—" They are no longer voicing student opinion." Correction Tickets for the Players' pro duction of "Picnic" will go on sale at 1 p.m. Monday at the Heise Union desk. Tickets were not put on sale yesterday as was erroneously reported in Saturday's Collegian. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA er he has run through all the "majors" the University offers or he is in the senior slump (a rut) he just doesn't want to make a switch. And he is not looking forward to settling down. In many cases seniors have already done this by their fourth year. Those who haven't are more than likely convinced they like the independence of being independent or at 'least the economy of being stag. Indeed, the meaning of Thanksgiving does extend beyond the symbolic signifigance of turkey. Lion Unites Men Lait Monday night, 52 fraternities set out to guard the Nittany Lion Shrine on an all-night, all-week basis. The - purpose, of course, was to guard the shrine from being painted by ram bunctious Pitt students. At 7 Saturday morning, the last of the fra ternities went off duly. Not one fraternity had failed to show up. Spirit and enthusiasm were high during the entire week. More than just saving the Lion from being painted, , the joint action by Interfraternity Council and some volunteer independent groups instiled badly needed school interest into fra ternities and independents. True, whether or not the Lion was painted is of little consequence. The fraternities and independents showed that there is still en thusiasm left on a campus supposedly devoid of anything resembling • student interest. This is of consequence. The University needs more groups possessing "that old college spirit" such as IFC and the independents showed during the past week. How about it? outwardly hopeful attitude, else they would be trying to quit something they cannot quit. Bulganin, on the other hand, is.making a concrete appeal to a specific' audience with- his posture befoie the pacifist gov ernment and people of India as a firm believer in ultimate peace. The. British are being more ' realistic. Both during and since the Foreign . Ministers conference, word ,from them has indicated an acceptance of Molotov's lessons and the need for facing squarely a tough sit uation. The same contrast is dis played by , political approaches to international problems on the home front. Party spokes men inject their own colored interpretations as the cam paigns move into gear. It's al ways that way. It's- only to be hoped that America's Allies will recognize the whoopla for what it is. Bermuda Trip Again Offered University students will have the opportunity to visit Bermuda from Marcn. 2 to April 2, during Easter vacation, at reduced rates again this year. Sponsored through the State College Travel Bureau, the trip will cost approximately $l9O for women and $155 for men. This includes air transporta tion, living quarters, meals, and tips. A $3O deposit is due by Dec. 10. Women interested in. the trip should contact Joyce. Koch, 228 McElwain, or Jane Colelesser, ext. 2259. Men should contact Sheldon Chaiken or Arnold Hoffman, Beta Sigma Rho.

Photo Editor On Assignmet We dropped backstage at the jazz concert Friday night and-found Stan Kenton sitting by himself in a corner, resting between numbers. Actually, it wasn't • back§tage as such, but the wrestling practice area in Rec Hall. The practice mats were littered with bar-bells, and workmen were lying around, waiting to' take the bleachers down after the concert. "Mind if I talk with you for a minute, Stan?" I- asked. , "Of course not," he' said, sliding over so I could sit down on the bench. I asked him the usual questions about jazz, what -he thought of college crowds, his, past and• fu ture engagements, and anything else I could think of. "You knoW." he said, "col lege students are really begin= rang to take a more apprecia live attitude toward jam Take that crowd out there- tonight. No stomping.. yelling, Or any-' thing like that. They understand and appreciate what we're try ing to do." "And you know," he continued, "it's the same way in colleges all Over the country—and we've played a lot of them. Last night we were at Muhlenburg, but the crowd, of course, didn't compare with this one tonight." (I told •him that few basketball games packed Rec Hall like his concert.) t Just then a man interrupted us and said he was ready for the radio interview.l tagged along to the place wheie it was being taped and asked the man with the microphone where he was from. "WKVA," he said. "Where?" I' asked. "What," he quickly replied, "haven't you ever heard it? Lewistown. It's , only 30 miles over the mountain. 1000 watts too. Here, here's my card." He handed• me a. little card which read,' "WKVA, Best Bet on Every Set." I thanked him, but said I un fortunately could only get one station. WMAJ at that. • • • We overheard two coeds talk ing on the Mall yesterday and the conversation went something like this: "Guess what we did in Zoo Mass today—dissected a frog." "Really?" "Yeah. he tried to fight back but we gored him to death.". BEST - TRY - OF-THEMEEK DEPT: The guys who tried to tear down the goalposts after the Pitt game. What an effort that was. Not only are the Beaver Field goalposts made of steel but they're sunk in concrete. Pitt fans (and I got the decided impression that most of them weren't Pitt students) jumped and kicked and pulled at them and even used rope but the goal posts are still there. Our Man Rohrbaugh bib this one: "I got ba tha crowd and triad to taiga a picture of the TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1955 By Bibler By RON WALKE fights going on near the . goal posts.-Some guy who , was about to reel over came up to in. and asked where - I was froin. I told him 'Associated Press.' Didn't know whether to say 'Pitt' _ 'Penn State'. Either way I would've had. it:" ' Later in the night we stopped at the Town House and found this sign staring us in the ..face: "If you're under 21 read this (an item appearing on the front ,page of last Wednesday's Collegian about town police having checked name cards 'at the Town House fol lowed)." As we've always- said, never underestimate the power of The Daily Collegian.
