Who's right?
The skeptics don't believe anytt
until they doubt it first and of
schools of thought don't believe
skeptics.
For that reason, Hillel Foundal
Newman Club and the Inter-Gi
will sponsor a series of three lectt
by three well-known speakers on
subject, "The Failure of Skepticis:
The series will begin at 8:15 r

oee Kateiao,
By BERYL SHOENFIELD
Writhing cobras, trained cheetahs
bringing down their quarry, the
frosted dome of Taj Mahal, and a
wedding fete which lasted three days
and three nights without intermis-
sion, are only samples of the kalei-
doscopic thrills witnessed by Frank
and John Craighead.
The Craigheads. working in the
School of Forestry for their Ph.D.'s
in game management, are distin-
guished on three accounts: they are
identical twins, have attained wrest-
ling fame at Penn State, and have
been publishing illustrated articles
on falconry and natural history in
such journals as "American Forests,"
"The National Geographic," and
"The Saturday Evening Post" since
they were juniors in high school.
They are authors of a book, too-
"Hawks In the Hand," published in
1939.
Wrote For 'Geographic'
Last year, deciding they had
"enough school for a while," the 24-
year-old twins went to India to write
an article, "Life With an Indian
Prince," which is to appear in an
early 1942 issue of "The National
Geographic."
For three months they were the
guests of Prince Dharmarkumarsin-
hji of Bhavnagar, self-styled "Bapa."
BApa, a naturalist, accompanied the
Craigheads on their excursions
throughout his state, showing them
native hunting techniques and pos-
ing enthusiastically for several of the
2,100 pictures and 4,000 feet of Ko-
dachrome movie film that the boys
shot.
"The thing that impressed us
most," said the globe-trotting twins,
"was the filth and poverty in India,
especially in the larger cities. It is
really beyond description; there's
nothing from an American's experi-I
ence comparable to it."
Begging A 'Racket'
Begging is a 'racket" in the land
of 25,000,000 mendicants, they said.
The streets are'filled with torturously
deformed specimens, malaria and
dysentery victims, and carious le-
pers-all vieing for alms. Even the
sacred cows, though often better fed
than the poor natives, are reduced to
subsisting on leaves and rubbish, in
the absence of greenstuff.
"The average Indian has no con-
ception of sanitation," the brothers
continued. "Lepers and disease-rid-
den citizens handle foodstuffs in an
open market just as accessible to !
insects and vermin.
"Human lives have almost no value.
You have to think less of them than
animals, or you'd go insane seeing
things that happen to them. Jungle,
