BIGHACRES COLLEGIAN VOL. 111 NO. 3 PENN STATE NUMBER ONE Penn State, given a second chance when Kansas put a twelfth man on the field, sent Bob Camp bell crashing one yard for a two point conversion and a thrilling 15- 14 victory over the determined Jay hawks in the Orange Bowl. The touchdown that set up the dramatic finish came with fifteen seconds left in the game. Oddly enough, it came on a "busted" play. Quarterback Chuck Burkhart was to hand off the ball to Charlie Pitt man but a Kansas defender got in between Burkhart and Pittman. Burkhart kept the ball and edged across for the score. Burkhart then misfired on a pass to Campbell in the first gamble for two extra points. "I thought we were licked then," coach Paterno said. "Like everybody else, I thought it was over". But then came the penalty flag. When he saw the flag go down, Burkhart said, "I knew we would make it on the second try. I just knew it." Kansas coach, Pepper Rodgers, said he didn't realize the mistake until he saw the penalty flag fall. "It was my fault," Rodgers said. "When I put somebody in, it's my responsibility to get somebody out." Kansas scored in the first quar ter on a one-yard run by Mike Reev es. The Nittany Lions tied it up in the second quarter on a thirteen yard run by Charlie Pittman. The score remained deadlocked at 7-7 at half time. A 46 yard punt return by tailback Donnie Shanklin set up a fourth period touchdown that put Kansas continued on Page 4 Hazleton, Pennsylvania 18201 O.S.G.A. CONFERENCE CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS by Gerald Notaro, President S.G.A. The Organization of Student Gov ernment Associations is comprised of the 19 commonwealth branch cam puses of Penn State. It is the only voice of the 19 campuses at the Main campus. Great strides have been made this year in obtaining recognition for the Undergraduate Student Government at the Main campus. Two new committees were set up by O.S.G.A. The first, Race Re lations, wi II help the Negro and under privileged students applying to Penn State or any other college. The second committee, the Housing and Orientation Committee, deals with this two fold program: I. Should a student who has spent three terms in a dorm on a common wealth campus be forced to spend three terms in a dorm at the Main campus? 2. Should a student trans ferring from one campus to another be obliged to undergo orientation? A bill was passed providing working funds for the O.S.G.A. ex ecutive committee. Each campus will pay a fee of $lO and an addit ional dollar for every 50 students. These funds will cover the expen ses of committee members attending Regional S.G.A. meetings. WILL YOU TRANSFER TO A ROOM OR A LOUNGE? by Bonnie Bangor, Vice-President S.G.A. On November 16 the members of the Organization of Student Govern ment Association (0.5.G.A.) of the nineteen Commonwealth Campuses attended a conference at University Park. One of the major problems that was discussed was housing. Each Student Government was asked to poll the expectations of the stu dent body, not their desires. Housing is a very serious prob lem at main campus this year. A number of transfer students as well as new students were not accom modated with rooms in the dormi tory. Many of them set up their quarters in the lounge; and some of them had to settle for space in wash rooms, broom closets, laundry rooms, and other storage rooms. O.S.G.A. wants to do something a bout this dilemma. They are asking the student body to co-operate with this poll. The question is—Would you want to live in a dormitory, apartment, fraternity, or sorority? Keep this question in mind. There will soon be a poll taken in the S.U. B. JANUARY 24, 1969
