Sordid Vulture To Flap Soon
With one of the dirtiest wolf glints seen in these parts in some time, the fearsome Vulture is making a preliminary swoop today and tomorrow to carry off to his den a few choice candidates for Four Star Coeds.
Semiannually the Vulture picks out three toothsome numbers on the SC campus, displaying them amply on his own private front page for nobody but he and the whole world to see. He doesn't like to play favorites, so he holds up one of each: a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead. He only demands that they are girls. He’s particular about that.
The Vulture staff wants to talk privately to Shirley Wilmore, EVK; Louise McDaniel, ChiO; Sarah Best, Harris Plaza; Jo Innes, uillard hall; Pahline Pena, ADPi; Pat Haskell, Pi Phi; Lee Olden, AEPhi; Joan Foster, Tri-Delt; Betty Brown, DG; Nancy Sex-hour.

Lauer was officially discharged from the academy and the navy because he accumulated too many demerits. The academy said, however, that a majority of these demerits were charged against Lauer after authorities discovered his scalping connections.
The academy said Lauer obtained 400 tickets for the Navy-Penn game by taking over the applications of lower-classmen. It said the scheme was discovered when a Harry Rubin of Philadelphia, tried to get the tickets off the academy grounds on the night of Oct. 15.
Apprehended at the academy gate, the navy said, Rubin signed a statement which said that “a Ronald Bloomsburg of Philadelphia, asked him to come down here and pickup a bundle from midshipman Lauer.”

In clarifying the position of certain candidates for the senator-at-large positions who were not presented at the formal nominations assembly earlier this week, said that the names of these candidates are officially on the ballot rtnce they have fulfilled all technical requirements and did not have to be present.
The ballot to be used for the election of the senators-at-large is the single-transferable ballot and is being used for the first time on this campus under the Hare system of voting.
Dobkin stated “The ballot transfers in the voting according to whatever is the first effective choice on it.” Voters mark their ballots in order of preference for from one to nine candidates of the 16 listed.

Each eligible voter has one effective vote, and one person is elected by that vote instead of nine. This, according to proponents of the Hare system, will give a better cross-section vote for the senators.
If the voter gives more than one preference to a single candidate, the whole ballot will be disqualified. If the ballot is marked with other than the provided rubber stamp, it will also be thrown out.
Candidates are listed down the left side of the ballot in alphabetical order, and across the top are the numbers one through nine with squares beneath for marking of preferences.

Plans to add another women's event to the freshman-sophomore brawl tomorrow afternoon were announced by Tom Perry, brawl committee chairman yesterday.
The additional women's event will be either a football game or a relay race.
Meanwhile Bob Patten, acting president of the freshman class and leader of the freshman team in the traditional brawl, issued a statement {that tht freshmen wen going to
“wipe up" on the sophomores this year.
“The freshman team is terrific,” Patten said, “and we're going to give the sophs the biggest beating of their lives tomorrow.”
ASSC President Paul Wildman said that he was “extremely happy” to see the return of the traditional brawl among the lower classmen.
“I'm extremely happy to see this old Trojan tradition being revived,” Wildman stated, “and I hope that
there will be a large turnout of students to participate in and witness the event.”
The brawl is scheduled to start at 4:30 on the women's athletic field, and will consist of five events, two for women and three for men. All students are invited to attend by the sophomdre class council, which is sponsoring the affair.
A dance for all sophomores and freshmen will be held at 3:30 in tlie Student Union lounget featuring re-
corded music. Door prizes of Chesterfield cigarettes will be given and refreshments will be served, according to Bill Colt, sophomore class president.
Colt extended a special invitation to non org sophomores and freshmen to attend the dance and witness or participate in the brawl.
“These affairs are for all sophomores and all freshmen,” Colt said, “and students who haven’t signed up for brawl events as yet may do so prior to the brawl on the field.”

France Uniting As Defense, Speaker Says
“France is uniting more and mor« against foreign philosophies.’’ in the opinion of Dr. Alfred Stern, philosophy forum lecturer.
Speaking on “Jean Paul Sartre and French Existentialism” in the third of a series on existentialism, Dr. Stern stated that throughout the war French resistance toward Germany increased because of the existentialists viewpoint that one “exists only when happy.”
The French existentialist Jean Paul Sartre states that everybody is responsible for everything, and therefore, Frenchmen are responsible for the war because they could have evaded it by suicide or desertion according to Dr. Stern, pioneer • in pholosophical research. He traced this pholosopher’s work from his studies in Germany under Kierke-gard to his present expressions.
“His basic concept,” ' said Dr. Stern, “is that man’s existence precedes his essence. This introduces an atheistic viewpoint that there is no supreme-being to create essence.”
Following Sartre s philosophy, the speaker observed that “nothingness” is in a man’s heart and it is this quality that makes him want to become something. The Frenchman does not “dethrone knowledge.”, he simply states that “being is in itself, and being is what it is.”
“We ourselves chose our being despite the fact that we aren’t what we want to be,” is the belief of Sartre. "We have only liberty of choice, not the liberty of obtaining. Man cannot have character in reality; only in the eyes of others does he have character.”
Dr. Stern said that much of Sartre’s belief is “phychological m-f an tism.” It concerns itself witn why certain people are attracted by certain qualities.
Next week the philosophy forum will feature Dr. Wilbur Long, professor of philosophy, speaking on “The Heterodoxy of Bergren.”
