Toronto — (U.P.)— Students dressed as ghosts and carrying lighted candles burned an effigy of U.S. Sen. Joseph McCarthy on a scaffold after a Halloween campus parade at the University of Toronto.
Toronto Students Burn' McCarthy
The students punctuated the ceremony by firing off telegrams to Sen. McCarthy, President Eisenhower and the U.S. embsy in Ottawa scoring the Wisconsin Republican "not as the man, but as the symbol of times which has robbed the vitality of North American democracy."
Williams' Play Opens Nov. 5
The messages were signed by "the students of Victoria college." The demonstration apparently was inspired by heated arguments on Sen. McCarthy which have flared across the campus and in the undergraduate publication, The Varsity.
"The Glass Menagerie," the play which first won recognition for playwright Tennessee Williams, will open in Fraser theater at 8 p.m. Thursday.
Four persons are cast in the production, the first University Theatre offering of the year.
Frances Feist, a former instructor in speech and drama, plays a jaded Southern belle deserted by her husband. Robert Londerholm, second year law, is cast as the son who recalls the action of the play. Nancy Reich, college freshman, plays the crippled Laura, a girl too painfully shy for the coarse world. Bruce Robb, special student in business, is the gentleman caller.
The play is directed by Dr. John Newfield, professor of drama. The setting is designed by Dan Palmquist, instructor of speech and technical director. Original music from the Broadway production will be used.
Indian Troops Kill Chinese Prisoner
Pamunjom, Korea —(UP)— Indian guards shot and killed a Chinese prisoner today when he rushed at troops lining up Chinese anti-Communists for a neutral nation commission investigating prison camp murders
Sour Owl Sales Gain Momentum
A two-day drive to sell the Sour Owl, campus humor magazine, began at 8 a.m. today as salesmen began work at the Information booth and outside the Hawk's Nest.
Tom Stewart, journalism senior and Owl editor, said nearly 1.000 magazines—about half of those printed—were distributed yesterday to 37 organized houses.
Stewart said today he had already heard from salesmen at some of the houses. "Most of them are getting rid of their stock without any trouble," he said, "but a few of them report that many prospective buyers don't know who publishes the Owl."
"Usually there is a statement printed inside the cover," he said, "which says the Sour Owl is the official campus humor magazine, and is published by Sigma Delta Chi, national professional journalism fraternity. We did not think it necessary to include the statement anymore, because in its 35 years history the Owl has become pretty well known."
The Owl's table of contents includes an article on the hazards of blind dating, written by Letty Lemon, journalism junior; a research piece on the art of the striptease by Jerry Knudson, journalism senior, and satirical poetry, lampooning cartooning, and numerous shorts, squibs, pictures and stolen jokes.
The magazine, liberally supplied with brickbats and bouquets, comments in the earthy "tree" room and pool hall language of the Mount Oread inhabitants on such matters of current and vital interest as Campus Politics, the Kinsey Report and Campus Cops. It is prefaced by a provocative "letter from the editor" written by Stewart.

LAUGHS FOR SALE-Don Hager, engineering freshman, sold over 30 copies of the Sour Owl, campus humor magazine, in the first five minutes after he opened the information booth today. The magazine will be on sale today and Tuesday.
Chinese prisoners being returned to communism claimed the dead prisoner was attempting to ask for immediate repatriation to Red China and fleeing from special United Nations "Agents" when he rushed the Indian guards.
Brig. Gcn. B, M. Kaul, Indian chief-of-staff, who witnessed the shooting denied the Communists' statements. A total of 18 Chinese and three North Koreans were returned at their own request to communism today.
The guards were lining up anti-Commist prisoners for an "identification" parade before two repatriated Communists who claimed they had witnessed an alleged murder while they weg prisoners.
The Indian command has announced that four prisoners have been killed by fellow inmates in the anti-Communist compounds.
The neutral investigation board began immediate questioning of 23 Chinese identified by the "witnesses" as having taken part in the alleged killing or having been witnesses.
The "explanation" program for unrepatriated prisoners was held up for 24 hours by a Communist demand today that they be allowed to broadcast messages to prisoners before they were interviewed.
Communist interviews with 500 North Koreans were cancelled today, but the United Nations command said the 500 anti-Communist Koreans will face the Reds tomorrow.
The United Nations has not decided when to start counter-brainwashing the 22 unrepatriated Americans but probably will wait at least another week.
So far only one U. S. soldier delivered to the Indian camp with the label of "pro-Communist" on him has asked for direct repatriation.
He was Cpl. Edward S. Dickenson, who told allied newsmen he believed many of his stay-back friends would return home if explanations were properly handled.
The Chinese have told the Yanks they can go to any Communist country or any security station in the Reds to bring their families to them from The U.S., at no expense.
The Communists even have suggested that families of the 22 Americans may come to South Korea before the explanations end in December. If they do, the Communists will grant them political asylum in North Korea.
This report, fantastic as it might sound, comes from the belief among some Chinese political officers and the American stay-backs that the U.S. Army will bring the families to Korea to see their sons, informants said.
Such a plan has been proposed in the United States, but the Army emphatically turned it down.
Chinese Reds told the Americans they must denounce their religious beliefs to be true Communists.
