FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1930
THE COLD FACTS
The fist days of this week have revealed a strange
attitude among Penn State students It has been an
apathetic one, more to he deplored than the most un
favorable criticism. Football, once the most popular
subject of undergraduate conversation, has Lecome a
closed book.
This attitude is not unjustified in the eyes of many.
Friday night saw what was probably the most rousing
football ially of late years To the last man, the stu
dents were behind the team Then, twenty-four hoots
later, the hopes for victory had been dashed miserably
to the ground. Many ardent looters behesed that the
team had let them down. Even the most loyal had
difficulty keeping back words of censure. Finally, the
realization, hard to accept at first, dawned that Penn
State was clearly out-classed by a better team. No
alibi could be offered, the cold facts were evident.
But cold facts, like a cold shower, are hard to take
without flinching. Students sought around for sonic
basis of criticism found none of consequence, lost inter
est. To many, the season Was ended.
We could at this time launch into a verbal frenzy
exhorting students to back the team to the death, lashing
tho team to unequalled deeds We refrain The cold
facts are still here; see attempt to answer them in
these few lines Football season is not over. Until its
conclusion any harmful criticism of the team and its
coaching should he withheld. We do not think that the
morale of the team is broken or that the students have
lost confidence The Bucknell game is the problem 'of
the moment
Without superfluous adjectives to embellish our
statement no believe that the uleven Penn State players
on the field at Lewisburg tomorrow will come through.
We admit frankly that ae were astonished by the
reaction to the communication appealing in the "Letter
Boy" of Tuesday's COLLEGIAN When sin published the
letter we were positive that every leader would grasp
its humor. We would have wagered a good bit that
no one would take it seriously Imagine our consterna
tion and the jolt to our faith in the faculty and student
senso of humor %then .v.e learned that many had taken
the letter seriously, actually believed that sentence
thought that "things were not 100 , : right about Penn
State" ,
BRING FORTH A CRITIC
At inegular intervals during the past trio years
the COLLEGIAN has published dramatic criticisms of
Players' productions. Last yeas they were discon
tinued as it ties felt that the criticism was not accepted
in the right spirit by those mentioned and that insuf
ficient inteiest was shown to meat a continuance of the
practice
This year, much to our suimise, has come a re
action. Several requests foi resiews have been received.
The subject has been 10/11.1 to such an extent that the
COLLEGIAN is glad to submit it for discussion. If there
is enough interest manifested the practice will be re
established.
Assuming that this will be forthcoming there is
another question to he considered. Who can be judged
a qualified critic , Lost year when a member of the
COLLEGIAN staff t4ote the reviews he was criticized se
verely and declared incompetent because he did not take
ir,to account certain obscure technicalities of reviewing
unearthed by someone Perhaps he did not recognize
these technicalities but neither did ninety-nine per cent
of the audience Naturally a student critic will not be
absolutely perfect in his criticism. The reviews are
more nearly news stories than bonafide criticisms.
The other alternative is a faculty critic. There are
several drawbacks to be considered in the adoption of
this source It is often rather difficult to confine a
faculty critic's efforts to the meagre apace available. If
he is given free rein, his work may be too voluminous
and lose Its effect when cut by the copy reader. Often
the faculty critic is inconvenienced by the requirements
of time.
Both student and faculty critics have their individ
ual faults. Yet, perhaps someone may be secured to
write the reviews if the criticisms are desired. Are

The Den, Yesterday
After reading yours of the other day, I man
forced to do a little thinking Although most of these
Penn Staters would not believe that, it's tine notwith
standing. I op coil with practically everything you
said, but felt that you note tuong on one funda
mental point.
Really, I don't believe that it's the trees that
ale responsib',e for oin football team's shoveing.
Rathm, it is all these darned salimall, around here.
As an example of v.hat a pernicoms influence they
ale, let me tell you a few stoi
One athlete was tellirg me the other clay that be
could not temember signals, because he hail his mem
ory cluttered up tiying to keep in mind NOVA path
to take to his eight o'clock class the ne. , t morning.
Then there's the case of the player who was so
mixed up in sidewalks that when he finally got to
New Beaver field pi setae ties nit,. It's things
like these that cause all the linable
So you see, Son, you can't blame it all on the
tees Now you might put those immature Bolshe
viks you spoke of to noik by having them bbno up
some of these walks.

TEE REIN - Di STArzl COLLEGIAN
Letter Box
The Penn State Collegian
I have no desire to enter in mat-
I tees that do not concern me, yet I
do rot think it , entirely inappropr,
late to say a word or two about such
1 things as involve the institution
which we wish to see improve
[ It is my opinion, and I belies eit
is shared by ninny of my fellow stu
!dents that the mounting of the lions
on the campus gate has not contub.
Med to the betterment of om cam
pus But what is more important,
the two little lions portray to those
who happen to notice them, the quai
-1 ity of 001 artistic appreciation.
Those bans are not worthy to em
body the noble spirit of Penn State
Nittany Lions, recumbent and
lie.ny, placed close to the ground,
would express strength and dignity
—anti that's what see want, lions that
.oulil reflect our common ideals.
As I look at them when I enter the
campus, I am depressed by the
thought that they will stand there,
Cm the years to conic, as a lasting
1 evidence of a wrong conception of
what is propel.
Sincerely yours,
i Patrodo, D. Cdtopoulos '3l
