Pine Chaiice Time magazine tomorrow will con duct its National Collegiate Presidential Primary—Choice ’6B at nearly 1,500 of the nation's colleges and universities. Time expects to poll two million stu dents. The results of the mock primary will be closely watched by all of the candidates. College students—if it is true., that they and their mentors are the most enlightened members of our society—are expected to base their presidential selec tions on the issues and .the issues alone. The two overriding issues are the direction of U.S. foreign policy, especial ly with regard to Vietnam and the crisis in our cities. It might be helpful to review the various candidates' and psuedo-candi dates’ present positions on these vital issues. Both Senators Eugene J. McCarthy and Robert F. Kennedy favor de-escala tion of the war in Vietnam, including complete cessation' of the bombing of North and South Vietnam and the' grad ual shift of the major responsibility for the war to the South Vietnamese. Both are convinced that the solution to the Vietnam problem must inevitably be political, not military, and therefore favor the formation of a coalition gove ernment in South Vietnam, whether Generals Thieu and Ky like it or not. Again, both Kennedy and McCarthy support a revolution in American social legislation to treat the poverty and de spair which underlies the unrest in the cities. In a speech April 11, McCarthy came out in favor c a "guaranteed mini mum income." T?.-» newly passed open housing bill is meaningless, he believes and we concur, if the Negroes it affects can't even pay the rent for the hovels they now live in. ■ Kennedy has proposed that if pri vate industry will not provide the mean ingful work which keeps potential riot ers off the streets, then the government shouid. ■' If we may believe The New Repub lic, legislation making the government the ‘‘employer of the last resort” would be especially welcome ip places like Bolivar County, Miss., where 73 per cent of adult Negro men are unem ployed. Most college students are expected to vote for either Kennedy or McCarthy. McCarthy is reportedly in the lead on most campuses. At Stanford, a student newspaper poll gave the Minnesota Sen ator an overwhelming 59 to 13 per cent < Editorial Opinion Hubert H. Humphrey is not on the Time ballot because it was printed be fore LBJ withdrew from the race. We doubt that,this will make much differ ence, since most students- fi'.v c-i eacß.oh to a Humphrey candidacy has been a fit of laughter. Students with Republican loyalties must choose tomorrow among a Jess daz zling array of candidates. The only; announced candidate, per renial loser Richard Nixon, inspires little enthusiasm even among his campaign or ganizers, His status with'foreign states men is best illustrated by the results of his recent European tour, when most leaders simply refused to see him. His rather nebulous stand on Vietnam em phasizes the word “win,” apparently at all costs. Nixon’s response to the riois has been a call for "law and order." He is a staunch supporter of anti-riot legisla tion and is in favor of substantial reduc tion in welfare legislation. The only other Republican candi date is Nelson Rockefeller. No one is sure exactly where he stands either on the war, urban unrest or even his candi dacy. He is generally considered, how ever, to be a moderate on both issues. On the far-right we have former second rate actor and sportscaster Ron ald Reagan and former truck driver George C. Wallace. Wallace has summed up his Viet nam policy by urging the government .o “bomb the hell out of ’em.” Reagan is of a similar opinion. Both have proposed that LBJ consider more seriously the use of nuclear bombs to'“win the war.” Wallace blames the Negro problem on "iniegraiionisfs and psuedo-iniellec luals." He, along with Reagan, subscribes io Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's shoot em-up philosophy. Reagan, at least, rec ognizes that the ghettos do present a problem but suggests that money for slum rehabilitation come not from "big government," but from the "private sec tor." Reagan, because of his appealing personality and youthful flair, is expect ed to attract a large student vote in to morrow’s election. We endorse no candidate. We only urge that the student body take full ad vantage of this rare''opportunity- to ex press its opinion bn the merits .of the various presidential aspirants, and thus make its presence felt on the national political scene. — M.

J BERRY’S WORLD " I'd like to five off-campus with you, Harold, but if we got caught, i could be barred from the cafeteria!" Letters to the Editor 'Pseudo-Liberals l Are To Blame TO THE EDITOR: The column' Friday about our presi dent was truly revealing., I agree that the last five years will rank among the foulest in American history. How ever, the trouble was brought about by the pseudo-liberals the likes of Sehlesinger, Fulbright, Toynbee, John and Robert Kennedy. These pseudo-liberals are the cause of all our troubles. How discouraging to hear these pseudo-liberals find a scapegoat in one of their own, President Johnson. Our in volvement in Vietnam was started by youT hero John Kennedy. The riots in the cities have been provoked by the pseudo-liberals. Don't poke fun at the president's family. At least it is preferable, to the "Kennedy Show" of five years ago. It had made a mockery of the office of the president. Every time Kennedy combed his hair history was made. I can’t stand Johnson, but the more I hear his own kind find a scapegoat in him the more I feel sorry for him. He is being sacrificed so that the pseudo-liberals can pull off the biggest hoax against western civilization, not to receive the full blame for the state of the world. Khruschev said they would bury us. However, it will not be necessary as you pseudo-liberals are burying us in foreign wars, taxes, inflation, bureaucracy, and civil war. Donald Campbell '7l Next President is Watching You TO THE EDITOR: CHOICE 68, the National Student Pri mary is being conducted tomorrow on this campus and on campuses around the country.

By ALAN iiLUTSKIN Collegian Drama Critic Despite the horrendous acoustics of Schwab Auditorium, the 30 to 40 per cent of the audience that could not see the stage, and temperatures that had the old and young alike converting their playbills into make shift fans, “The Lion In Winter” provided an enjoyable evening of theatre last Saturday. Jamfes Goldman’s comedy depicting the predicament of Henry 11, King of England, who must choose one of his three sons to succeed him as monarch, was laced with some very witty dialogue that created just the right atmo sphere for the playwright? to sneak in his > timeless social 1 commentary. , The majority ( of his philoso- ‘ phical interjec- l tions were verb alized by Mar- ' garet Phillips as ; Eleanor, In her; overpowering in terpretation of the disenfran-1' chised queen,!. Miss Phillips managed to & craftily incorpor- ci nrcifiM ate moving re- sluismn flections on the nature of peace and love with enough satirical commentary to sustain the overriding theme of innate hilarity. In addition to her subtle functioning as the author’s mouthhpiece, it soon became evident that the capacity audience that had come to see Walter Slezak was revelling in the inspiring performance rendered by Mar garet Phillips. Became More Powerful At the outset, Slezak sounded more like a lecherous old middle class businessman than the King of England. As the play progressed, however, he became more power ful and seemed to project the feeling that each time that he stepped onto the stage he was creating the role for the first time. This became most evident in his more serious Published, Tuesday through Saturday during the Fall, Winter and Spring Terms, and Thursday during the Summer Term, by students of The Pennsylvania State University.

NEXT DEPARTURE : July 2,1968 moments, but unfortunately, he also project ed the feeling that his interpretation was not adding very much to the indigenously hu morous dialogue. In profound contrast to Slezak’s rendi tion of comedy, Peter Howard, as John, frolicked about the boards, exploring his characterization of the spoiled brat with, enough finesse to keep the house in hysterics without becoming ludicrous by overplaying. In a much smaller role that lacked the distinction of a comedy, James Storm as Philip, King of France was second only to Miss Phillips as the outstanding ele ment of this production. Storm distinguished himself by exhibiting that characteristic so rarely found, in non-billed names in road companies polish. Manipulates Character He succeeded in manipulating his char acter by underplaying when necessary, making use of anti-text interpretations, and had fewer lines than any other character in the play, but by his final exit you knew more about Philip’s innermost motivations than all of the others combined. Less successful in their efforts Saturday evening were Elizabeth Farley, Alexander Courtney, and Daniel Landis, As Alais, Miss Farley paraphrased her entire performance when she commented, “And I’m the only pawn,” As Richard,. Courtney stomped around the stage, attempting to smash the audience over the head with every word, and exceeded his lack •of body and voice control only by proving that he possessed absolutely no feeling for the role. As Geof frey, Landis, was not as superfluously incap able, but merely existed as a nonentity. Had the Ingredients In essence. The Overland Stage Com pany’s production-of “The Lion In Winter” was no masterpiece, but it provided the ele ments that,the average ticket purchaser is seeking: a big name lead, an evening of professional theatre and the humor that we all appreciate after a long, hard week. Those who were fortunate enough to be present in Schwab on Saturday received all that and something more they experienced a captivating performance by an eloquent leading lady.
