A solution could be u weekly bulletin listing In advance "all"

Miss, u c t y Claire Schmid writes in
tne Octouer issue ol "Mademoiselle"
ol the una view of the luture taken
by the German students.
Alter Nujsisin teil, the typical
German youth, disheartened and
disillusioned, searched for something to ml its place. But, she adds,
coiiuiuuiis ueliiiS what ihey are today in Lit l'lii.iny, and the luturo being so uncertain so as to appear
enveloped in a log, have caused
them to revert to many of the Nazi
ideas.
In regard to World War II, Miss
Schmid reports that the German
youth feels no responsibility towards
the war met still looks upon various
nuLonulities with hatred. In addition, they object to the French
"parading al every opportunity."
In one sentence Miss Schmid reviews the present setup in Germany. "It all boils down to nil attempt lo spread democracy with an
occupation army, which is nol by

Mary's Angels lead the "A" League
while Van Derzee leads the "B"
League. KB and the Finks won in
their last outings to tighten up the

race for the leagues leadership.
Rain and mud made Wednesday's
,
. ,
_,
games close and slow-moving. The
opening kick-off accounted for the
flrst score, in the VanDerzee-SLS
game, as Moiiaruy grabbed the ball
near his own goal lino and when he
tried to evade the charging line of
SLS he stepped into his own end
zone where he was tagged for a
safety. VanDerzee pushed over a
second period score on a short pass,
Wiley to Morlarity, to go ahead of
SLS: 6-2.
KB Takes to the Air
After the VanDerzee touchdown
the game was almost a standstill
due to Uic slippery field and wet
ball. While VanDerzee and SLS
were battling in their close game
KB edged out the Ham and Eggers:
14-13. With Sy Fersh in the backfield KB took to the air time and
time again and scored its touchdowns on passes to Milk and Waxman. The extra points were added
on passes to Berger and Milk. The
Ham and Eggers struck back with
touchdowns by Ludlum and Duncombe. O'Brien made the first extra
point, but I lie Eggers failed to convert after their second TD and
that decided the outcome of the

Potter Club romped over KDR by
the tune of 32-0 on Tuesday. ScorIng 25 points in the first half, Potter ran into a re-juvenated opponent in the second half. This half
saw a tightly fought contest with
Potter scoring but once. This was
on a run by Carter for his second
TD of the game.
Warden also
crossed into pay-dirt twice and
Lansky scored the other TD.
Also on Tuesday the Angels nosed
out the Finks M-13. In a game that
saw the Pinks come back after
trailing 14-0 to make a gallant try

Potter Downs Scrubs
In Soccer Opener, 4-2
Competition in Intramural Soccer resumed this fall with Potter
defeating a stubborn Scrub team
4-2. The game was hotly contested from the opening whistle to the
final play.
Jim Warden started the fireworks
by scoring a goal early in the period. Throughout the rest of the first
period both teams displayed brilliant defensive play.
Midway in the secc.ui period, E
E P's offensive clicked again as
Jim Jlusto scored a goal from a
few yards out. Again the Scrubs
fought uphill and also scored at
close of the second period. Jim Marsiglio was awarded a penalty kick,
which turned into a well-executed
play with Nolan Powell doing the
scoring.
Second Half Tight
The final two periods saw both
teams display a tight defense with
the Scrubs dominating play in the
third period.
Plans for field events to be held
on Campus Day were completed on
Monday by the Rivalry Committee.

will be conducted.
In the men's categorie, football
passing for distance, a tug of war,
a relay, and high jumping will be
featured. Pat Dooley will take

In the women's events. A threelegged race, an old clothes race,
fifty yard dash, tug of war and a

last night's first practice session of
the '48-'49 season.
A tough twenty-one game schedule lies ahead of the "Peds" this
year, of which ten are scheduled
at home. The toughest games figure
to be with Hurtwick and Hamilton,
two schools that boast tall, experienced squads.
Coach Hathaway will be assisted
In coaching this year's squad by

they have been practicing for more
than a week In the Page Gym. Although Couch Hathaway has seen

Maxim Newmark.
The Commuters' Club president raced madly down the.hall
in lower Draper to see if any
work-iivlng - students had signed .the committee list for the
Soc-hop. She blinked here eyes
and was amazed to find the
lists, particularly that of cleanup committee, complete;. She
.."wondered and still the wonder
grew" for the clean-up committee is the lowest, most unsophisticated, unpleasant task at State College. Then she realized
that this was the work of the
same pencil-happy student who
had signed up his unknowing
friends, Herman Schmbe, and
Herbert Cream for WAA lifesaving. He also had signed
George Washington Warzello
and Roscoe Van Boulder (dam,

Margaret Webster, Shakespeare's
greatest asset since the quill pen,
has turned traveling salesman by
bringing "Hamlet" and "Macbeth"
to campus stages across the nation
and Canada. As a result of this
lour, students who wouldn't otherwise sec products of the legitimate
theater will have an opportunity
n-t oulv to do so, but to help back
stage In setting up the prepared
se . and doing general jobs to help
produce the show. Expanding the
theater has been an idea of Miss
Webster's for the past ten years.
Her
experience
In
producing
"Twelfth Nltrht" for Maurice Evans
and Helen H a y s , brought her top
honors, and since thai time, diffusion of the theater has been one of
her prime Interests.
Interested in finding the public
reaction to \yr Idea of a tour by
bus to collides of flic land, she sent
out over five hundred notices of
her plan and was overwhelmed with
favorable replies.

the audiences' imagination will provide the aura of Dunsinane and

In tlie three centuries since the
Immortal Bard created his works,
no one has brought such a vibrant
quality of living reality into them
as has Miss Webster. In cutting
"Hamlet" to two and one-half hours,
she mourned every cut word. The
finished production is as complete
as Lime and facilities allow and will
provide tile best entertainment for
the greatest number of people.
Perhaps it is the spirit of her
mother, the late Dame May Whiffy, who shouted "I cannot make
two armies from eight people—I
must, fare "lie more!", that makes
Miss Webster what she is. Perhaps
It is the atmosphere in which site

49 Conference
Governor Thomas E. Dewey, for
trie second time in a State College
NEWS straw vote, was given preference in the Presidential Poll.
Governor Dewey's margin of victory over his chief opponent, Presioent Harry S. Truman, was in a ratio of almost 3:2 of the total vote,
which included 816 students, or
62.7% ol the Student Body, 21.9%
of whom are eligible voters. This
figure is more than double the 10.3 %
wno were qualified to vote in 1944.
Unlike the 1944 race, however,
this election was not close to the
point of being decided by only a
lew votes. The actual figures were:
Dewey, 396; Thomas, 71; Truman,
279; Wallace, 62; and Thurmond,
(by writt-in), 2. These figures indicate ;hat 48.5% of the student
body or 45.2% of the voters rae in
lavor of Dewey, while 34.2% of the
termer group or 33.5% of the voters
are hopeful for Truman.
Republican Traditionally
The vote this year is in keeping
with the tradition that State College
is Republican in its politics. Significant, however, is the fact that Mr.
Norman Thomas this year polled
8.7% of the total vote, or 13.4%
of those of the qualified voters. In
1944 Mr. Thomas could garner only
3 votes out of the 793 which were
cast.
Only once in the twenty-four
years that the poll has been conducted at State has a Democratic
candidate for President been chosen by the Student Body. This was
in 1936 when the Association chose
tlie late Franklin D. Roosevelt by
a very narrow margin, tout he went
on to win at the national polls by
an unprecedentedly large majority.
The Republicans returned to favor
in Students Polls, however, in 1940
and 1944 by narrow majorities each
time.
It is evident that straw polls at
State have very little bearing on
the national elections, however, and
by all indications this year a Truman victory would be predicted,
since polls in previous years have
acted almost invariably as negative indicators.
