'Joey' Pions
Make Little
Progress
Plans for Project Joey,' a
plan to hold a Christmas party
for 40 orphans in the Nittany
area, made little progress at
last night's Nittany Council
meeting.
In the only motion passed at
the meeting, it was decided that
the individual hall linits would
donate money only to finance a
party which each unit will hold
for two orphans.
The money to finance the bring
ing of the orphans and a gala
patty for all the orphans in the
area's Nittany Union Building,
a maximum of $450, will come
from the Council's $2320 carry
over for next year.
Previously all the money for
the project was to -have come
from donations from each Nit
tany hall unit, but many units
opposed this because of the un
used $2320.
The party will be held Sunday
Dec. 13, but so far no definite
plans have been set as to which
orphanage to invite, or exactly
what will be done to entertain
them when they arrive.
Units 28, 36, and 39 have con
sented to decorate the NUB for
the parts.
flans have also been completed
for a Nittiny area Judicial Board
of Review, to be known as JBR.
Selected to participate on the
Board were Samuel Freeman,
Christopher Brown, Robert Slat

buck, and Charles Funk The
chair man h, George McComb.
The committee will meet every
Sunday and handle judicial mat
leis in the area.

Arnold Moss, one of Ameri

tors, will take the leading male
roles in both plays, Moss has
had a varied and colorful career.
He has worked as a manager
and director as well as an ac
tor. He has appeared on the
stage, radio and television, and
has presented narrations with
leading symphonies.
, Both plays to be given here are
: comedies. "Measure for Measure"
is a story on the use and abuse of
power in high places and it en
hances the foibles of human na
ture. "The Tempest" tells of ene
mies reunited on a magic island
and combines enchantment with
humor.
The Shakespeare Festival Play
ers are a company of American
actors. They present the plays in
a novel manner, using few props
and no elaborate costumes.
Moss, who planned the staging,
feels that the simple and uncom
plicated technique leaves more
room for the audience to partici
pate by using their imaginations.
By illuminating the dialogue and
the movements of the actors, the
plot is easy for the theater-goers
to follow.

Hail to the Real Lion,
May He Rest in Peace
By JIM MORAN
CENTRAL PARK, N.Y.
Remember the letter to the
editor and the ensuing story
disclosing that Penn State
owned a real lion?
I Well, he's dead.
John Galm, director of the Cen
tral Park Zoo, told the Daily Col
legian that the lion presented to
the University in 1943 by a net
work radio program, had to be
destroyed. Cause: rickets.
Galm said he had no avail
able records on the lion, but
he remembers him well. "We
had to destroy the little fel
low in 1947," he said, "because
his legs were crooked and he
walked with a limp, since his
front legs were shorter than his
hind ones. We had several com

Forum for Broadcasters
No nation can afford to have its communications facilities
controlled by people who do not have the time to think nor
the wisdom to see the abso
planning, Robert D. Swezey,
general manager of WDSU Broad
casting Corporation, New Orleans,
La., said Sunday.
Keynoting the opening session
of the University's Communica
tions Forum for Broadcasters.
Swezey said one of the matters of
concern to broadcasting is that
the public is not really getting the
information it needs to fully ap
preciate the significance of cur
rent happenings.
The topic of the forum, spon
sored by the School of Journal
ism and the Center for Countin
uing Liberal Education, is "Broad
casting: The Challenge of Re
sponsibility." The forum will con
rtinue through this evening.
The broadcaster today is lim
ited in scone and program se
lection by the economic link be
tween the industry and adver
tising, Swezey said. "Too often
the broadcaster is required to
think largely in commercial
terms in order to survive," he
said.
The primary responsibility of
broadcasting today is its obliga
tion to defend freedom of cneech
on the air, Swezey said. This is
allied with the responsibility of
the industry to encourage intel
lectual leadership in order to sti
mulate the "apparent listlessness
of the people on crucial matters."
Swezey said he believes that the
people are confused and that there
IS a real need for leadership

plaints from visitors that he
didn't look too good."
Galm said the lion, or leo par
dis, his scientific name, was a
runt and never developed fully.
The lion was given to the Uni
versity by "Vox Pop," a wartime
radio program starring Warren
Hull and Parks Johnson.
The 6-week old cub was on
campus for one week, under the
care of a University veterinar
ian. Keeping the lion here was
impractical, so it was sent back
to the Central Park Zoo.
The cub had a taste of national
fame when he was photographed
nestled in he paws of the Nittany
Lion statue near Beaver Field.
The picture was transmitted
coast-to-coast by The Associated
Press.
Galm explained that rickets
stems from a lack of calcium in
an animal's early diet
ute necessity for thoughtful
executive vice president and
spiritual, social and political.'
Americans, he said, have not lost
any of the stamina or basic ideals
which have been part of our heri
tage.
"Editorial activity is the force
which can raise the prestige and
Istatus of broadcasting. It becomes
a force to be reckoned with; a
personality with views and opin
ions. If properly conducted, edi
torializing becomes one of the
most constructive and gratifying
services a station can render."
