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.

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.

■Mr. Dulles' Statement
It's Hard to Explain
US. 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.
