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

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.
