TUESDAY. OCTOBER 9.1956
Sorauf Says
‘State Trend
Aided by an alleged switchover to the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania, Joseph S.
Clark, Democratic nominee for state senator, will win during the November election, Dr.
Francis J. Sorauf, instructor in political science, predicts.
Sorauf said he thought the biggest single factor in a Clark victory would be what he
termed a “long-run change to the Democratic Party” in the state.

Clark Will Win;
Favors Democrats
By LARRY JACOBSON
(One of a series)
“For many years the state Re
publicans kept economics out of
the picture,” Sorauf said. Re
cently, he explained, the GOP has
let the economic factor into cam
iPaigns “and when it comes to
that, a big percentage of the
voters vote Democratic.!’
Classifies Voters
In Sorauf’s opinion, when the
time comes for the “haves” and
“have-nots” to divide, the great
majority of “haves” vote Repub
lican, and vice versa. Naturally,
he said, most people could be
classified as “have-nots.”
The prediction was made with
out equivocation.
Clark will beat Duff even if
Democratic presidential nominee
Adlai E. Steven
son doesn't car
ry Pennsylvania,
Sorauf said. But.
he added, a Clark
win would be
much easier if
S t e v enson car
ries the state,
although Clark
will probably get
more votes than
Stevenson in ei
ther case.
Sorauf said Clark’s prediction
win is congruous with the per
sonolities of the two candidates.
He described the Democratic
nominee as a man of “consider
able ability with real intelli
gence.” Then too, Sorauf said,
Clark’s record as mayor of Phila
delphia is “highly commend
able.”

“I do not mean to infer that
Duff is not an intelligent person,”
he said, “but to me, he (Duff) is
just another senator.” Sorauf
called Duff’s record “undistin
guished like a typical liberal
medium Republican.” He has
shown no leadership in sponsor
ing bills, Sorauf added.
Says Duff Indifferent
This indifferent attitude is dis
played in Duffs campaign this
year, Sorauf explained. Of course,
he said the GOP senator has
never been a hard campaigner,
and Duff probably did not want
to run again this year. “But since
Ike (President Dwight D. Eisen
hower) is running again. Duff
probably conceded to run once
more, he said.
Although Clark is conducting
a harder campaign and getting
more attention from the news
papers, Sorauf discounted two
campaign charges—one by Duff
campaign charges—one apiece by
Duff and Clark —as having no
substance.
Charges Are False
“Clark’s charges about Duffs
absenteeism in roll call votes is
a false issue,” the young instruc
tor explained. A roll call record
is not a good way of telling how
much a senator is interested in
his job, he said. '“Most senators
have better things to do with
their time, and may be in com
mittees or doing extra work,” he
said.
Many roll call votes are on
minor issues and the senator
knows this, he said. Thus, sena
tors don’t waste their time at
these sessions.
On the other hand, he coun
tered Duff’s charges that Clark
is a leftist. “Duff is making the
charge because Clark is interested
in the ADA (Americans for
Democratic Action),” Sorauf said.
The group may be slightly left
ist, he said, but basically it’s a
homing ground for New Deal and
Fair Deal Democrats.

MARKING ON THE CURVE...
AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
Twonkey Crimscott was a professor. Choate Sigafoos
was a sophomore. Twonkey Crimscott was keen, cold,
brilliant. Choate Sigafoos was loose, vague, adenoidat.
Twonkey Crimscott believed in diligence, discipline, and
marking on. the curve. Choate Sigafoos believed in elves.
Jayne Mansfield, and thirteen hours sleep each night.
Yet there came a time when Twonkey Crimscott
mentor, sage, and 3avant was thoroughly out-thought,
out-foxed, out-maneuvered, out-ployed, and out-witted
by Choate Sigafoos, 3ophomore. '
It happened one day when Choate was at the library
studying for one of Mr. Crim3cctt’s exams in sociology.
Mr. Crimscott’s exams were murder plain, flat murder.
They consisted of one hundred questions, each question
having fou r possible answers—A, B, C, and D. The trouble
was that the four choices were so subtly shaded, so in
tricately worded, that students more clever by far than
Choate Sigafoos were often set to gibbering.
So on this day Choate sat in the library poring over
his sociology text, his tiny brow furrowed with concen
tration, while all around him sat the other members of
the sociology class, every one studying like crazy. “What
a waste'." he thought. “All this youth, this verve, this
bounce, chained to musty books in a musty library! Wo
should be out singing and dancing and 3mooching-and
cutting didoes on the greensward!”
Then, suddenly, an absolute gasser of an idea hit
Choate. “Listen!” he shouted to his classmates. “Tomor
row when we take the exam, let’s all —every one of us
check Choice ‘A’ on every question every one of them.’*
“Huh?” said his classmates.
“Mr. Crimscott marks on the curve. If we all check
the same answers, then we all get the same score, and
everybody in the class gets a ‘CY*
“Hmm,” said his classmates.
“Let’s get out of here and have a ball !** said Choate.
So they all ran out and lit Philip Morrises and had
a ball, as, indeed, you will too when you light a Philip
Morris, for if there ever wa3 a cigarette to lift the spirit
and gladden the heart, it is today’s new Philip Morris
firm and pure and fragrant and filled with true, natural,
golden tobacco, lip end to tip end.
■.. We should be Out <5 iffC-%6 doJdMCtfJ
Well sir, the next morning the whole clast did what
Choate said and, sure enough, they all got “C’s,” and they
picked Choate up and carried him on their shoulders and
sang “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” and plied him with
sweetmeats and Philip Morris and _ girls and put on
buttons which said “I DOTE ON CHOATE."
But they were celebrating too soon. Because the next
time shrewd old Mr. Crimscott gave them a test, he gave
them only one question—to wit: write a 30,000 word
essay on “Crime Does Not Pay.”
“You and your ideas,” they 3aid to Choate and tore
off his epaulets and broke hi 3 sword and drummed him
out of the school. Today, a broken man, he earns a meager
living os a camshaft in Toledo.

At the top of the curve of tmoking pleasure, you’ll find today**
nett Philip Morris. So, confidently, toy the maker* of Philip
Morris, who bring you this column each week.
