Students To Buy Artists Tickets November 30 Dr . : Betts Beads, Reading Project Aims To Correct Visual Faults; Other Education Clinics Will Coordinate To eliminate the serious handicaps in later life rooted in a child's early reading faults is the aim,of the read ing clinic recently established at the College under the direction of Dr. Emmett A. Betts, research piofeS&or in education. The clinic is designed to discover and correct the fault's in children's reading. Dr. Betts stated that between 8 and 25 per cent of the country's total school population has never learned to read properly, and so have been re tarded in promotion, called "dullards" and enter adult life under extremely serious disadvantages. He further' added'that about 80 . per cent of, these children 'who can't pass front one grade to'the next because of their luck of rfading ability are of average or distinctly superior intelli gence. "Half of the adult population do not enjoy reading probably because of their experiences in primary—and secondary schools. Yet, 80 to 90' per cent of study 'activities in high school involtie reading. These and other similar data should provide am ide evidence that all teachers should share the responsibility of improving the reading and study habits of the Children," Dr. Betts said..

However; I feel that the attitude a student has in his,last two years will represent the attitude he, will have after. gradating from college. If he is vitally interested in his work, he will not miss any oppor tunities. I do not believe that cuts should be a ddtermining factor in a final grade.

Alter For Lion's Score Light Lion Team Gives Worthy Exhibition In 1937 Finale Bob Higgins Will Name Game Captains In '3B By HERB CAHA:si They're still a great Huth foam! And Pitt proved that a superb big team can easily beat a great little team, when they pounced on Penn State Saturday, 28-7. It was an exhibition of football that Lion fans, who braved snow , ind cold, will not soon forget even though State was on the short end of the scoring. "Pitt has the greatest football team I've ever seen—and I've seen plenty," was the comment made by Coach Bob Higgins who, in spite of this expected defeat. can still boast of his most successful team in his eight years as Nittany mentor.

The only Nittuny score came in the third , period after Harry -Harrison nad punted i 7 yardS to Pitt's 21-yard sine, where the bull bounced against Dalle Teem Panther tackle, and the ever-alert, Alex Barantovich hopped on the pigskin. On a reverse from Windy Wear, Harrison was smeared for a seven yard loss. Wear picked up three of the lost seven on the next ,slay when he circled left end. 13=11 Then Windy gave Penn State en hosiasts another great thrill to add to his many gridiron feats. He faded back and let go an expected forward pass. It was perfectly placed in the end zone and Spike Alter, playing in nis hoine town, outraced two Panther defenders to snare the ',ass and rack up six points for State. Up off the bench hopped No. 37 and the extra point specialist, Ben Pol lock, raced on the field. Ile dill the expected, making his season's total eleven out of twelve tries.
