We Goofed, Confused Players and Thespians About the worst mistake any one can make on this campus is to confuse Thespians with the Penn State Players, and vice versa. But this newspaper made that mistake yesterday. "The Boy Friend," opening May 7 at Schwab Auditorium, is being produced by Players as their ma jor musical production of the year, not by Thespians. Queen, He-Man to Need Skill LLACK partners may be among the original finalists. Women in the Queen of Hearts contest will use their skills in bowling, basketball and swim ming.

Morality and national self in terest are at last on the same side, he told a near capacity audience in Schwab Audtiorium. "Moral ity had been subordinated to pow er in the past," he said, "but now nations are forced to be moral." Nuclear weapons have changed the world drastically, Pauling said. Our greatest enemy is no longer the U.S.S.R., he said, nor are we theirs; war is our common enemy and we must unite to win the battle. "It is hard to imagine what nuclear weapons are like," he said. Next year the United States could be a radioactive waste. During the last war about one person was killed by every ton of TNT, and explosives had to hit 5-10 spare will be worth ,three points. In the basketball competition, each entrant will have 12 foul shots with two points for each basket. The swimming segment of the competition will be a 25- yard freestyle and backstroke.

No point distribution has been announced for the men's events, however it will be similar to the women's scoring. The eight high ' est men in the three events will qualify themselves and their part ners in the finals. —Collegian 'Motor' by Marty Scharr DR.

Pauling said there is more to consider than the tremendous blast and fire from a bomb. Among the horrors caused by radioactive fallout are death from radiation sickness and gross phys ical or mental defects in newborn children. He added that there is no doubt that even a small amount of radiation can cause cancer or leukemia.

Cabinet will meet again Tuesday to swear in its successor—SGA Assembly as its final matter of business. The recommendation for revis ing the ROTC program will be made by John Bott, chairman of a Cabinet committee which has been studying ROTC since the end of last year. The study was a continuation of one made during the 1957-58 school year. After the latter was completed, Cabinet engaged in several meetings of hot debate before defeating a recommenda tion to make ROTC completely voluntary. Although the new plan sug gests one year of compulsory ROTC, the committee report is pointed toward eventually making it completely volun tary. The report contains one recom mendation that the University "give serious consideration in the future to the feasibility of mak ing the entire ROTC program voluntary " In addition to requesting the one-year compulsory program and consideration of a completely voluntary program in the future, the report recommends: •That the present advanced / ROTC program be expanded to 'include the sophomore year; and that the Army and Air Force ex pand their summer programs to include most of the required tech nical training and drill. •That the University support and encourage all efforts of the Army and Air Force to establish scholarship programs similar to that of the Navy. ®That special skills of military instructors be used to develop elective courses and extra-cur ricular activities which would promote the objectives of the roil (Continued on page four) By 808 FRANKLIN Collegian Editor First of a Series emergency illnesses use the dk pensary which is open only dur ing the daytime.
