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

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

University, is from Mount Union.

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

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."

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?

Bulganin, on the other hand,

Molotov's lessons and the need

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

will recognize the whoopla for
what it is.

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.

asked where - I was froin. I told
him 'Associated Press.' Didn't

' 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

underestimate the power of The
