Americans and Communism

• .

The American people have been convinced beyond doubt that
they must oppose communism. Everyday, radio speeches and news• paper editorials demand that the spread of communism be stopped.
Our national leaders condemn it , and our legislators concern themselves primarily with the Marshall Plan. Yet few Americans could
g ive an acceptable definition of communism. We must oppose it , but
we don 't know why. The answer is simply this-— communism is unAmerican. A social and economic system of this type in the United
States would undermine the very principles upon which the country
was founded. However , the character of the American people is prob ably the greatest argument against the communistic theory. Nobody
can tell an American what he needs , and nobody can keep him from
trying to get ahead of the next fellow. Americans like to dream of
becoming millionaires, but communism doesn 't offer any "H oratio
Al ger " stories; there are no Henry Fords in Russia. Statistics show
that the standard of living in the U.S.S.R , is considerably lower than
that in the United States; progressive people need a personal incentive. The Russians , who regard communism with almost religious
fervor , will continue to spread their doctrines among the desperate
peoples of Europe , but never will American "individualism " give way
to these communistic ideas.

Fashion F lashe s ...

If you should see a bit of plaid or
ruffle sticking out from under some
girl's skirt , please don't approach her
and whisper that her slip is showing,
because she is fully aware of it . Who
wouldn't want new petticoats are bright plaids,
pretty pastels, or white cotton with
a wide ruffle.
These new garments are a definite
sign of spring — along with the soft
ground and the presence of green
grass. What looks sweeter than a
skirt with about five yards of material covering a brightly colored petticoat ? Girls will be anxious to have
the blustery March winds tug at
their skirts so that everyone will be

able to see her bright undergarment.
Incidentally, some clever company
has put out a pin that fastens at
your waist , and attached to this pin
is a chain which reaches to your
hem . With this you can pull your
hem line up a little. There now , who
can miss that flash of color ?
Just think girls, by having this petticoat you can lengthen a too-short
skirt or dress ' or brighten a dark
skirt. And most important , all the
other girls will wish that they had
such a clever idea.
So j ust step out one of these days
with your gap petticoat and remind
everybody that spring is ,just around
the corner!

"ONE MAN GREED"

was lead to the chair . Stanton quickly buckled the leather straps, and
enveloped the doomed man's head
with a metal cup.
With the rhythmic efficiency of a
well-trained acrobat , Stanton 'reached back, pulled a switch , and stood
there watching the frightened expression on the man's face . He expected the usual horrible tortured
expression as the current snuffed life
from his victim; but there was none.
There was no current! Three times
he pulled the switch , and th ree t imes
he pulled the emergency switch , all
to no avail . There appeared a few
blue sparks, but not the death dealing kind usually coming from the
generator.
Th e agitation in the spectators'
gallary was such that the state inspect or, who was out of the chamber,
came flying downstairs to investigate.
After returning the bewildered
prisoners to their cell blocks, a thorough investigation was conducted . It
was found that Stanton , in his haste
to execute three murderers and insure his chances for the Federal j ob,
had failed to pull the switch,releasing electricity from the main generator to the death chamber.
Stanton was informed that his
chances for the position were nil. He
was, however, retained as executioner for the local prison. What a sap
I must really be, he thought, as he
made preparations for the postponed
execution, which was scheduled for
tomorrow.
Harry Stanton 's seared and charred body was found tha,t night by the
prison watchman . His distorted and
greedy mind had been so upset that
he had grabbed the wrong switch and
electrocuted himself while examining
the generator for tomorrow's work.

The bellhop at the hotel watched
Harry Stan ton with scanning eyes as
the big fellow impaled a large piece
of bacon from his breakfast plate.
"Aren 't y ou up kind of early this
morning?"¦ the bellhop asked meekly.
'
Harry Stanton could hardly believe his ears. It was quite obvious
tha t the lowly character didn 't know
who Mr . St anton w as, or what he
was doing up at this early hour.
Afte r all, it was in all the evening
and morning editions of the local
papers that he, the cold-blooded
St an t on , was to put three condemned men to death today.
Ignoring the stupidity of the hotel
employee, Stanton sleeted a sagging
slab of chocolate cake from the glass
counter . He was mindful of the extravagance of his purchase, but he
soothed his stingy soul with the reflection that it was not every day
that somebody handed him three
hundred dollars. Three hundred dollars for three measly minutes of
work, he thought, as he made his
way to the scene of today 's activity,
the grim state prison .
His heart sang within him as he
walked through the gates of the
prison . Let people call him a "sap"
and a cold-blooded man . Why should
he worry ? A hundred dollars is the
fee for pulling a switch which sends
several hundred thousand volts thru
the enemies of society. Three hundred dollars a push; Stanton could
not forbear from saying to himself.
Many people didn't think he was a
"sap." The state inspector of prisons
thought he was a pretty able executioner. Well , why shou ldn 't he be?
Hadn't he made good ? "You're darn
right I have," he said aloud in answer to this speculation . Fif ty-five

When Stanton entered the warden 's office prior to receiving last minute instructions, he was informed
that the time of execution had been

Harry Stanton was readying the
chair when the familiar strain of the
prison chaplain reached his ears :
"The Lord is My Shepherd; I shall

A little later the death march began . The chaplain first , reading from

Golden Eagles Come Through
In Late Spurt; Huskies
Finish in Eighth Place
Largely because of a garrison finish , Clarion State Teachers College
came through with the 1947-48 basketball title in the State Teachers
College Conference. In a close game
played February 27 against California, the Golden Eagles edged the Vulcans to sew up the championship.
Had California won that game, the
Vuleans would have been the crown
bearers with' the identical record.
Halley Willison and Hugh Willoughby, All-State men , led the Clarion
team this year in its quest for the
flag. The w e s t e r n Pennsylvania
school replaces Lock Haven, last
year's winner.
Huskies Eighth
The league was so well balanced
this year that the first ten teams
were all bunched within a game and
a half of first place.. The Huskies
finished in a tie for eighth position
with a seven and seven record .
Mansfield lost its chance for the
pennant by dropping two week-end
decisions to Millersville and Shippensburg. All the Mountaineers needed was one triumph in the two game
series, but both the Marauders and
Red Raiders soundly trounced Ted
Casey 's crew from up state .
Shippensburg led in total points
with 726. The Huskies ranked second
in this department . Most improved
team in the circuit during the second
half was East Stroudsburg, which
won three in a row after dropping
the first three.

the foul shooters. Slobozien missed
only two of his 11 attempts for a percentage of .818 while Andrews got 35
of 48 tries from the 15 foot mark for
.729.
Boyer and Kashner had the most
points in a single game, the former
getting 23 on two occasions—against
Eli2abethtown and Millersville. Kashner registered 22 against King's College .
The Husky team averaged 47.4
points per game during the season
while holding the opposition to 45.3,
a foul shooting mark of .607 was
probably the best recorded by a Maroon and Gold cage team.

\

A surprisingly large number of
track candidates reported to Coach
Wisher for the first practice sessions
this week. Among those who turned
out were two fleet stars, Curt Herb
and Bob Conrad , who will undoubtedly bolster the squad as it wades
through a formidable schedule that
gets underway April 10, only a few
weeks removed from now, believe it
or not . Herb and Conrad have been
training assiduously since the start
of last semester at least , so they
should be in better than average
shape.
One of the Husky opponents this
season will be the Lincoln University
team. Lincoln, it will be remembered,
is the school that provided such
sturd y opposition for the Husky soccer squad last fall, and they will in
all probability prove to be the most
difficult opponent for the Husky
truck team to overcome. Lincoln
comes here May 11 and should offer
an attraction well worth watching.
It is to be regretted that track and
field sports fail to obtain the publicity they deserve. They are, in our
humble estimation, as desirable a
spectator sport as anyone could wish
to see. An exciting neck and neck
figh t to the finish line is at least
equal in thrills and drama to a long
touchdown run in. a football contest.
And the participants usually have the
same fighting spirit and ability that
makes football and basketball outstanding.
Sometime in the near future we
will present a little of the history of
trnok and field and a fow facts and
figures concerning; record breaking

The Associated Press boys have come out with their 1947-48 All-State
Teachers College basketball five. Charlie Boyer, of the Huskies, was named
on the second team and Bobby Andrews was given honorable mention.
Boyer, who led the Huskies in scoring with 224 points, was in there trying
all year though some fans expected him to go on a mad scoring spree every
game, which is almost impossible. In our esti ma tion , he turned in a fine

the individual scoring total for the Huskies with 181 points and he
showed the best marksmanship from the field goal area in games played
at home.
According to the press clippings, Eddie Jones deserved some recognition, Boyer Attempting Side Sh ot
but he was not given so much as honorable mention . Opposing teams said
that Jones was a pest to their offensive plans . True , he didn 't have his eye
during the latter part of the season when his field goal output fell way
below normal, but he certainly showed well from a defensive standpoint.
Jones and Elmer Kreiser were the tall boys who took care of much of the
rebound work.
Four sophomores and a junior comprise the first team. Joe Harrington , of Mansfield, who almost came to this school along with Ray Kodish
v
in the fall of '46, was named at the one forward post along: with Halley
Willison, 21-year old six footer from Clarion State. At center was the .
towering Jeb Stewart, of Shippensburg, 6 foot, 7 inch giant from Chambersburg. Stewart made a very poor showing in both games against
the Huskies, but his play was somewhat better in clashes with other
foes.
Mike Pecuich , Millersville, and Lew Osherow, West Chester, were given
the guard slots. Both of these lads appeared here, but neither was particularly outstanding. Pecuich had a very poor night, and Osherow was
mediocre . In addition to Boyer , the second team included Bob Phillips,
Slippery Rock; Cy Bemosky, East Stroudsburg, who set Centennial Gym
afire when he was here with the Big Red; the clever George Mitro , of
Lock Haven; and Matt Hamilton, of California .
Honorable mention was given to the following players in addition to
Andrews: Clarke Deppen , Kutztown ; Goeltz, Slippery Bock ; Lamie,
California; Lloyd, Edinboro; Jackie McClellan , Shippensburg; Pete Monska, West Chester; Armand Shaner, Lock Haven ; Chet Wasilewski,
Mansfield; John Wenglasz, Millersville; and Hugh WUIoughby, Clarion.
It hardly seems possible that the writers could overlook this Jackie
McClellan, of the Shippensburg team , who amazed fans when the Red Raiders appeared here. He not only scored 22 points, making four consecutive
shots, but he was a ball of fire with the fast break and played fine defensive ^ — — ^ — —

Every • week last year, a nationwide poll of best-selling records was
made by the "Billb oar d ," a famous
magazine of the entertainment world.
The results were tabula ted and were
thus: the top singer in the nation
was Pennsylvania's own Perry Como,
the ex-barber from Canonsburg ; the
leading dance and in the country belonged to Vaughn Monroe, that handsome singing maestro . None of the
above selections came as a surprise
to this writer—Coin\> is 'bou t "out
of this world," and the organization
Vaughn Monroe leads is in a class
all of its own .
Incidentally, Perry has some brand
new waxes on the market — namely
"Body and Soul," "I' m Always Chasing Rainbows." Vaughn has come up
with some solid numbers in his new
album entitled "Down Memory Lane"
—on sale at record dealers everywhere.
Off the Record
Frankie Carle (incidentally, he will
appear at the West Side Ballroom in

possible in his band appearances . . .

as May, when he'll play the Capitol
Theater in New York . . Spike J ones'
most recent additions to his crew include three live pigs, a 7 foot 7 giant

land . . . Beryl Davis is the featured

Tunes of the Week,
"Ballerina" is still the best seller
with the most popular cut by Vaughn
Monroe . . . "Two Loves Have I" by.
Perry Como . . . Art Lund's "I Still
Get Jealous" , , , Francis Craig's
"Near You" and "Beg Your Pardon"
. . . Tony Pastor's "Gonn a Get a
Girl" . . . Russ Morgan 's "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover" . . .
and a very up and coming press by
Mellow Mel Torme entitled "Night
and Day."

Each year, year in and year out,
the U . S. Patent Office is swamped
with applications for patents on devices that run the gamut of human
ingenuity. Some are genuine contributions to the welfare of mankind,
others qualify their inventor for a
one-way trip to the looney bin . But
to get to the point , a patent was recently granted for a process that will
cause cigarettes to give out with
colored smoke. The cigarette of tomorrow, in other words, will sport
more color than a college freshman
dressed for a dance.
When this weed hits the market,
you'll be able to match your smoke
with your moods, your complexion,
or what have you ? Yours will be the
privilege of walking down the street,
with clouds of red smoke billowing
forth from your person, or, if it be
St. Patrick's Day, you may choose
Kelley green . Think of the psychological effect it will have on the spirit
of the occasion . A brand that would

yield alternate puffs of Maroon and
Gold would be right in the groove
for Homecoming Day.
The rathskellers will look like settings for a dress rehearsal of a Wagnerian opera, or else like pay day in
Gehenna , with the boss himself passing out the checks. The added effect
of clanking chains would doubtless
drive the most calloused sinner into
deep meditation upon the ethics of
moral conduct . Poker sessions and
bridge clubs will probably look like
subsidiaries of a chemical corporation and find themselves at variance
with city zoning regulations; the result , no card playing within city limits. This coloring process could well
be the precipitating factor in a maj or social upheaval .
Just how available this process will
be remains to be seen . In the meantime, as a mid-semester though t, why
doesn't someone invent a vest pocket
size true-false indicator ? It would
be decidedly more practical 'than a
pack of purple cigarettes.

of their sons . He pleaded for greater
understanding of other people as a
basis for establishing a world order
of peace and harmony, and he urged
the United States to assume a role
of positive action in 1 a world that is
desperately in need of such leadership.
Mr . Ramsey was introduced by E.
A. Reams of the faculty entertainment committee, while Howard F.
Fenstemaker, Sr., presided over brief
devotional exercises preceding the
address . Edward Kleyps , Nanticoke,
presented a recital of organ melodies
prior to the devotional exercise.

pointed out that Russia feels that the
United States will not use the atomic
bomb against her unless the United
States is attacked, and t he Kremlin
does not plan to place itself in the
role of the aggressor.
He spoke at length upon social and
economic conditions in Russia and
European countries behind the socalled "Iron Curtain", and he illustrated his conclusions with a number
of graphic stories and anecdotes to
show the dire need and tragic circumstances of a continent shattered
and broken by war. Black market
operations and economic manipulations were described in realistic detail.
Asking the question, "What shall
we do with Germany?", Mr . Ramsey
discussed in a significantly distinct
fashion the elements of discord between the occupying powers in the
prostrate Reich . He showed that the
Russians do not want a united Germany but rather a Communist satellite, while England would like to
withdraw from Germany if the United States would take over, The United States control commission is so
hamstrung with varying lines of control that General Lucius Clay is
powerless to act to bring about some
semblance of progress,
Mr . Ramsey spoke at length about
the internal difficulties faced by the
English government and stated that
he had a hunch that Winston Churchill, whom he called the greatest
statesman in English history, would
be called upon to save England in her
presen t financial and ecoomlc crisis.
He presented a graphic picture of
living conditions under the strict system of rationing imposed upon the
British people by His Majesty 's Govern ment,
. Concluding his address with a
birds-eye view of other European nations and their difficulties, Mr. Ramsey said that there would never be
world peace until fathers are willing
to sacrifice their prejudices instead
