Beaver Avenue 25, 1959 used Is Rebel zo Raids By JIM MORAN of Philadelphia's beatniks this and apt. Frank Rizzo risked his (intellec 'ng a series of raids on Philadelphia olds of the avant-garde. a week ago when a group of 35 "beats" were assembled in The Humor esque Coffeeshop, a Philly beat grotto. They were a pretty sus picious looking bunch, with their leotards, beards and turtle-neck sweaters. And they were engaged in the shadiest of activities chess-playing, book-reading, es presso drinking, talking, and there was even the audacious listening to classical music being played over a very sinister-looking hi-fi set. One beatnik occasionally would rush outside and shout something at the night sky, and that was when Rizzo's Raiders Went into action. Storming the Humoresque, they rounded up all 35 and hustled them off to the police station where they were finger-printed, photographed and fined $lO each for disturbing the peace. The beatniks didn't dig this, to say the least, And many of Philadelphia's, populace didn't dig it either. Let ters poured in to the newspapers denouncing Rizzo's antics. One letterwriter, named Les Conform, wondered if the police were going to raid the Art Museum next. The Dajly News pointed out that there were many noisy bars that should be raided instead of the coffeehouses. Things were relatively quiet until last Tuesday night when Rizzo struck again. Backed up by 12 men and a de tective, he visited the Artist's Hut, where he checked the ages of all assembled Bohemians, in an effort to find curfew violators.' When the owner of the Artist's Hut complained, Rizzo said, "I'm going to come in every night and bring the fire and health inspec tors with me." He then went to the Proscenium Coffeehouse and to the Experi mental Theater, where he found a curfew violator. The last ob jective of Rizzo's Raiders was the Gilded Cage, where he repeated his previous action. He then called it a night. The beats were far from beaten, however, as Melvin Mikis. owner of the Humor esque. filed suit against Him in U.S. District Court for $25,- 000 damages. A Humoresque beatnik also sued for $15,000 reputation damages. Rizzo shot back with his an nouncement that he would bring two city departments and one state agency into the story to check for health and fire hazards and to seek out possible dope peddlers. It seemed however, that the local gentry favored the beatniks, as evidence'd by the 16 letters in Thursday's Evening Bulletin, 14 of which denounced Rizzo's raids. Some were shocked, some dis gusted and, as one put it: "I just chuckled in my beard." - Three hours of manual labor daily was required of students of the University one hundred years ago.

PENNSYLVANIA Chaplain Studies In Free Time Relates Stories Of War Years Story By LIANNE CORDERO Photos By MARTY SCHERR Dr. Luther H. Harshbarger, University- Chaplain, often spends "the best hours of the day—midnight to 3 a.m." at a cluttered 20-foot-long desk. Although his teenage son, Scott, reports that Harshbarger's favorite pasttime is "bossing," much of what free time he has is devoted to study and writing. One wall of the chaplain's private study is covered by a floor-to•ceiling bookcase mostly filled with volumes of history and theology ' , my current major interest." Harshbarger explained. "In the attic:" he. added, "are two crates filled with German books. One of these days I'd like to make a study of German literature." Harshbarger, who understands both German and French, first went to Europe two years after graduating from Yale Divinity School in 1942. There he served for five years as a member of an international team for the Young Men's Chris tian Association whose job was to bring "spiritual and cultural relief" to inmates of enemy pris oner-of-war camps. In the living room Harshbarger pointed out a small oil painting. "This was given me by a pris oner whom I had provided with paints and brushes. Later I was able to arrange an art show for him which critics praised highly. He had never had time to paint before he *as captured." The ship which carried Harsh barger to Europe was torpedoed off the coast of Ireland. "I was never so scared in my life," Harshbarger said. But luckily, the ship which was filed with wheat, stayed afloat for 16 hours until it was towed into port at Liverpool, Eng. After the war Harshbarger's family joined him in Germany. It has been 10 years since the chaplain joined the University staff. Mrs. Harshbarger, who teaches third grade in a State College elementary school, plays an active part in community drives' and projects. The oldest son, Scott, bears a husky resemblance to his father and is a star quarterback of the football team. Scott, a State Col lege High School senior, is presi dent of the student body. Neither Scott nor his brother, Don, a ninth grader, is plan ning a career in the ministry. Harshbarger, who was ordained by the Church of the Brethern, believes that the boys should "make their own decisions regarding both religion and careers.' Harshbarger calls Don "a theorist." Don's particular inter est is the theatre, although the 12 athletic letters hung on the wall in the boys' room have been won by both Don and Scott.
