Campus Scenes Down South Students at the Pottsville and conies a member on the basis of Ogontz Campuses are also having a high average in his major sub parking problems. Those in Potts- jeet, not on how much he can. ville are reminded not to park drink. their cars in a restricted zone in front of St. John’s Church. At ugontz a protest rally of some one hundred students was held to em phasize the need for a new park ing lot. A large Spanish 1 class at Pottsville prophesies a success ful year for their new Spanish Club. The Student Council at Pottsville sponsored inexpensive bus trips to the Main Campus for football games. Our Student Council might want to consider this plan for next year. The stu dents here should be thankful that they don’t have to polish brass for R.O.T.C. Ogontz and Pottsville students are indeed not as lucky as we. Hey gang, one of out of every three members of the New Kens ington Campus student body is also a member of the newspaper staff. The Student Government there has inaugurated a suggestion box. How about it, Mike? At New Kensington, where the ratio of students wishing to obtain a park ing place is 9 to 1, the local police force has been handing out tickets to students using two hour park ing zones for all day parking. Stu dents there are also trying to form a dance band. Cool! It appears that Behrend is one of the few campuses lacking an honor society. Each curriculum generally has its own honor society, or fraternity. The student be- Engle's Lancers by DON DETISCH The charges of Rip Engle have again exhibited the brand of foot ball that is indicative of a great team. The Lions, at present, have a 4-3 record, but we are confident of at least one more victory, if not two. The Lions, to be trite, clawed the Boston University Ter riers by a score of 20 to 0; Eddie Caye, “Bud” Torris and Jim Kerr shared touchdown honors. A home coming crowd of 30,000 watched the Blue and White go under by a 21 to 8 count to Missouri. The men of Engle proved to be in consistent in their ground game, which aided Missouri’s cause. Half back Ken: was the difference in State’s victory over the cadets of Army. Kerr drove, plunged, and ran his way for 3 touchdowns pro viding the needed stimulus for the Lion’s 27 to 16 win. October 15 found th Lions playing powerhouse Syracuse at Archbold Stadium. THE NITTANY CUB At New Kensington, the furnace blew up in N. E. 803 Lab. No one could breathe, so the students took a cigarette break. Students planning to attend the Penn State University of McKees port Campus in the fall of 1961 will find a third building added to the campus. The new addition will be the Student Union Building. Dr. Walter A. Kearney has an nounced that the new date for breaking ground will be January or February of 1961. It shall have several small rooms for meetings, in addition to a large activity room for dancing, etc. The building will be approximately the same size as the main building and will be paid for from regular student fees; no additional costs will be placed on the students of the campus although the building will cost over $150,000. A “Thank God Finals Are Over” party will be held January 28 at the Ogontz Campus. Let’s hope the No-Doze doesn’t wear off. A Senate Organization has been formed by the faculty and admin istration of the McKeesport Campus. This Senate, patterned on the University Park Senate, is designed to set policy on matters that pertain to the academic and administrative decisions of the campus. The McKeesport Senate works within the framework of the University Park Senate. State did not concede until the final whistle: Syracuse 21, Penn State 15. The morale of the team, shaken by its loss to Syracuse, seems to have carried over to the Illinois, game where State was again de feated by a Score of 10 to 8. West Virginia discovered that the Blue and White had recovered from their wounds and were shellacked by a 34-13 count. Next, the veil of old Mt. Nittany shrouded itself around the Terrapins of the south who were submerged 28 to 9. The Lions have been hampered by many injuries especially that of Roger Kockman, junior half back. Kockman, one of the out standing halfbacks in State’s his tory, has been sidelined with a knee injury. Also with the loss of Richie Lucas, All-American quarterback, via the graduation route, Engle is confronted with a situation in the pass-flinging de partment. Galen Hall and Dick Hoak alternate at the post, but neither has shown outstanding Allen Burns, the popular history instructor of last year, writes that he is in New York getting his Doctorate at Columbia Uni versity and is keeping in touch, through the Cub, with the activi ties and people of Behrend. C'esf La Vie By GENE NUTTER Bad habits often are blamed for crimes of which they are innocent. The nicotine slave thinks to him self: “If only I didn’t smoke, think of the extra time I’d have.” And on other occasions he moans over the money he’d save in a year if only he didn’t spend that daily cash for cigarettes or cigars. The rare bird who eventually forsakes tobacco discovers to his sorrow that (1) he has no extra time or (2) he saves no extra money. True, he may have cured his morning hack but he learns, alas, -that the time and money angle was pure fable. Perhaps we should examine all our habits for a truer apprais al of their worth or drawbacks. Smoking, for instance, may be fine and dandy for persons who don’t get smoker’s cough or tarred mo lars. Maybe it’s better to have idle hands lighting fags than to have them table drumming, palms rub- bing or with fingers a-twiddling. It seems that if homo sapiens doesn’t practice one bad habit he’ll take up another. One choice is rarely worse than another. Ach! ability running or passing. Last Saturday found State beat ing host Holy Cross. The Crusaders exhibited great prowess on their home field and proved a formidable opponent for Engle’s Lancers.
