Friday, November 18, 1960 Sno-Ball Starts Rolling The committee for the annual fall prom, the Sno-Ball, met re cently to begin plans for the De cember 9 dance. Joe Sostarich and Bob Vincent are Chairman and Vice-chairman respectively. They formed several sub-committees including enter tainment (Mike Mulligan, Jim ftei chard, and John Chriest), ticket and favor (Pat Nardueci, Marilyn Sponsler, Sharon Haise, and Bob Arkangel), and decoration (John Tinsley and Gary Agnew). TO CUT OR NOT TO CUT (Continued from Page 1) scholastic attainment and should make this fact known to the stu dent at once. A student whose ir regularity in attendance causes him, in the judgment of the in structor, to become deficient scho lastically may run the risk of re ceiving a failing mark or receiving a lower grade than he might have secured had he been in regular attendance. Instructors should provide, with in reason, opportunity to make up work for students who miss class for regularly scheduled, Univer sity-approved curricular and extra curricular activities (such as field trips, debate trips, choir tours, and athletic contests). However, if such scheduled trips are considered by the instructor to be hurting the student’s scholastic performance, he should present such evidence for necessary action to the head of the department in which the course is offered and to the dean of the col lege in which the student is en rolled. You are reminded that those students who are doing well on our campus are permitted, with the consent of the instructor being visited, to sit in or audit courses other than those for which they are officially enrolled.

Needless to say, the modem American’s reflections do not normally run along such idealistic lines. Thanksgiving is but another date night for over-zealous steadies, a chance to televise a Game of the Week, and an oppor tunity to contract cancer from contaminated cranberries. The newspapers and television newscasts will be filled with pleas antries about how the new Presi dent-elect and family enjoyed the holiday. Undoubtedly a Turkey- Tide message will drip as honey from his lips into our homes and hearts ... so to speak. All hail, Cometh 1 ENGLE'S LANCERS (Continued from Page 3) The closing game of the season pits State against arch-rival Pitts burgh, in their annual battle of Pennsylvania’s supremacy. Note that every year State seems bowl bound, Pitt has played the role of spoiler, and vice-versa. We hope that State continues to follow tra dition and smashes Johnny Mia losen’s squad by a large margin. And as that great philosopher, Zelda Schwartz, once said: “To win, or not to win, whether ’tis nobler, oh the hell with it, Fight On State.” And then there was a baby stork who asked his mother where he came from. “See you’re getting quite chummy with your Profs.” “Yes. Familiarity sometimes breeds exempts.” l * * * * said the Lynn: Oh, Bill, je t’adore. Bill: Shut it yourself. You opened it! THE NITTANY CUB Turkey the Great * * * * * * * * November 9, 1960 at Port Behrend. Although the weather proved unsuitable for the occasion, a relatively large local crowd gathered to witness the christening by Miss Constance Gibson and the ship’s first plunge into the murky depths.
