Players’ Good Record Is Sparked by “Picnic” When Players presented “Picnic” last Satur day night it closed what might be called its most successful run since the group has been working in the Old Temporary Union Building. The William Inge show was given Friday and Saturday nights tor live weeks, and nine of these performances were played for full houses after a good many people had been turned away. The seating capacity for "Picnic” was 140 so almost 1400 people saw the show. The type of play probably accounted for heightened student appeal, and the "sex" coupled with Players' clear interpretation and good crew work drew more people than any of the.six regular-run shows performed at the new location. Being on campus has caused a ratio change in the type of audience, according to research done by some dramatics graduate students. When the playhouse was located on Hamilton avenue, people living in town slightly outnumbered students. But since the fall of 1954, when the move was made, the ratio of students to towns people has been almost even. Plays are given in the arena style theater How to Fill New Sorority Suites A plan has not yet been devised by which to choose the sororities to occupy the eight suites in the four proposed new women’s dormi tories. but if the method suggested on Monday by the Dean of Women’s office is followed we can guarantee a lot of dissatisfaction among the- Greeks.. Miss Weston said a priority rating with the eight oldest chapters on the campus having first choice was suggested. This would be one of the most ridiculous ways to choose the sororities because the length of time a group has been on the campus is no indi cation that it deserves special privileges, hous ing or otherwise. Regardless of the date the sorority was found ed nationally or established on campus, they are all entitled to equal treatment by Panhellenic Council and by the University in all respects. If any specific group should be ‘selected’ to occupy the new suites, consideration might be given to the two sororities that the University has been unable to furnish suites. Due to no Traffic Rules To Continue - Capt. Philip A. Mark of the Campus Patrol yesterday asked students to remember that all traffic and parking regulations will continue through the “final examinations period even though classes end today. At past graduation periods, Capt. Mark said, many students thought that regulations ceased with the end of classes instead of continuing to the end of the semester. The semester ends at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 27. Any students caught with vio lations will be subject to fine. Those refusing to pay their fines will appear before Traffic Court, which resumes hearings on Feb. 13, according to Capt. Mark. Graduating seniors holding un paid fines will be subject to ac tion by the dean of men’s office. Cold Weather, Clouds Predicted for Today Partly cloudy and cold weather has been forecast for today, with light snow tonight and clearing tomorrow. .The maximum temperature will be 27 degrees, and the low 19 de grees, according to students in the department of meteorology. Yesterday’s high was 30 degrees, with a low of 24. Scrolls to Sell Cookies Cookies will be sold in the women’s dormitories by members of Scrolls, senior women’s hat society, from 10 to 11 p.m. start ing tomorrow. The cookies will sell for 39 and 49 cents a box. The money will be used for the Scrolls scholarship fund.

STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA to achieve intimacy, and it is because Players has not wanted to upset this feeling of close ness -that it has not expanded its sealing ca pacity. The type “of set determines the exact number of chairs, but seldom are there more than 160 or less than 120. Penn Siale Players began in 1920 when a small group of students and faculty members realized a need for an organization to sponsor legitimate plays. Before that the only drama was that found in the musical comedies, fan tasies, and farces of the Thespians. The group was founded to give students an opportunity to appear in dramatics and to fur nish entertainment in the community. With a crew of some 20 students, Players gave its first performance on Feb. 6, 1920—a production of three one-act plays in Schwab Auditorium. A lot of things combined to make the group's last show such-a success, but Picnic is by no means an isolated example of what it -can do. And if their past record is at all indicative of the future, we will always be justly proud of the Penn State Players. fault of their own they must now meet in in itiation rooms or in 'lounges. Since all the rest of the sororities seem not to deserve any special attention because of past inconvenience the. remaining six suites should be assigned arbitrarily. The specific system to be used is unimportant, just so impartiality is shown. Of course a group that did not care to move into one of the new buildings should be allowed to remain in its present location. To satisfy the Greeks should be the object of any method selected by the Dean of Women’s office. We hope they are satisfied. —Jackie Hudgins Gazette •..

Foreign Policy Associated Press News Analyst . Secretary of State Dulles’ formal reply to the,furore created by expressions attributed to him in a Life Magazine article emphasizes that American policy has been following a steady course laid down years ago, regardless of the difficulty of putting it into words. The policy has been developing, of course, as the nature of tho conflict with Russia has developed. At first the Truman administra tion relied heavily on America’s exclusive possession of the atomic bomb to deter any aggression which would cause the United States to fight. Then, as Russia shifted back and forth between a military and a political or economic infiltration policy; the Marshall plan and the North American Treaty Organiza tion were devised. Containment of Communist expansion in any form became the first objective, fol lowed by creation of a position of strength from which it was hoped East-West settlements could he negotiated eventually. The Korean War was fought to convince the Communists that ag gression could not be made to pay. Dulles extended the policy to include advance warning of points at which the United States would react to aggressive pressure. Such pressure was being brought, or was feared, at the points which he mentioned in the Life article as having three times brought the nation to the verge of war., He now emphasizes the “brought,” as against some interpretations of the statement as meaning the Uni ted States had "advanced” to the brink of war in some voluntary fashion. There can be only two broad meanings for the vast rearmament program followed by the United States the last seven years. The strength, accompanied by the known determination to use it if pushed too far, is either a deter rent, or it is useless. The determi nation must always be kept clear ly before all possible aggressors. The idea that rearmament rep resents an acceptance of the in evitability of war, or of an intent to enforce American ideas of world organization by war, is not even believed by the Communists who express it, , The furore has been created not by real attitudes, but by words, at a time when the United States is engaged in tense domestic politi cal activities, and by fear abroad that the critical interpretation might be the right one. Words about American foreign policy in these days can be dangerous if not very carefully put. Chess Club Cancels Meeting The Chess Club has canceled its regular weekly meeting sched uled for tonight.
