DAD'S DAy-
more than a game
SCHEDULE MAKERS thoughtfully tie
in a football contest with the celebiation ol
Day s Day each year This yeai is no ex
ception and tomorrow is that day
Yel, just how many undergi aduales con
sider Dad’s Day anything hilt a football
r liue, it does offer, as do most athletic
contests, an opportunity to mciease that
"companionship” and that “my pal” enthu
siasm so important to father-son and fa
ther-daughter i elationships
Just as true, Qoach Bob Higgins tomor
row will send a great eleven—potentially
the strongest m a decade —onto the field
to do battle with our Bucknell foe
After the dust has settled Dad will'still
be theie, regardless of victory or defeat
And so it goes with the real game—life
Though you may wade thiough hell or high
water, the odds are top heavy in favor, of
Dad being on hand when the ,dust has set
tled.
Dad’s Day is more than a mere gridiron
battle —it’s the lecogmtion day of Dad’s un
selfish and tireless efforts to provide futuic
Amenca with educated students
REENFORCEMENT
ENCOURAGING NOTE has been struck
by Student Tribunal, supieme judicial bodv
under the new student goveinment m its
pledge to “clamp down now” on vandals
who instigate such bi unless student upris
ings as occuried last week
And Tribunal is not alone units stand
The Administration, while not openly
taking steps to punish offenders, has indi
cated its reenforcement to any measures
taken by the judicial group. •
All of which action may result in a fee
ble cry fiom a few scatteied skeptics such
as
is it just to penalize one, two, five or
ten students, when at least a hundied par
ticipated directly in tlie riotous demonstra
tion ?
To this, the Collegian has but one i etort:
Perhaps il isn’t just to penalize five for
the .damage caused’ by a hundred, bul cer
tainly it is more just than to penalize six
thousand.
Such is the case when damage is done
to College, Borough, oi puvate propeity.
The penalty is inflicted upon 1 the entire stu
dent body—a penalty bi ought about by the
damage caused by only a few
PERSONAL INJUSTICE
THERE’S A PLACE for such vandals
whose underhand tactics damaged the au
tomobile of G. Warren Elliott, chaii man of
Student Tribunal, as it stood m its frater
nity parking lot Wednesday night
While the action in itself is a criminal
offense, it is an overt act detrimental to
the name of the student body and to the
name of the College. It is, to put it mildly,
a “practical joke” so low thtat the Colle
gian is unable to forecast an outcome, with
out sizzling in disgust.
If the vandals insist on doing personal in
justice to Mr. Elliott, the Collegian defies
them to come out and openly face Elliott,
the most enthusiastic and efficient Student
Tribunal’ chairman this College has ever
seen He is doing a difficult task well.

We Women
WOMEN, TOO, have an import
ant pait to plav in discouraging
the lecent outbreak of pajama pa*
indes which has caused consider-,
able damage to college and towji
piopcity in the past and Is likely
to cause still moie <
Coeds certainly do not discour
age these rioteip when they laugh
and cha’t out of dormitory win
dows They do not help the situa
tion by giving out names and souv
imrs, by singing and joking with
the offendeis > *
We all admit that occasional
serenades and pajama pai ades are
fun, but too many become tire
some Noi have the demonstrations
iii the past few weeks been limited
to singing and parading
As long as they me encouiaged
bv the women, the men will con
tinue to parade and damage piop
uty nnd the Penn State name So
let’s show u little college spmt bv
gnoi mg these outbursts instead of
joining them ,
THE FIRST DANCE of the
season in White Hall has been the
subject of much eontioveisy, with
seveial women’s gioups demanding
the pnvilege
To us, theie is no doubt as to
who should hold White Hall’s fiist
lance 5 The building was pnmai
ily designed for women’s recrea
tion—therefoie why should WRA
lot have the fiist dance 9
If WRA will have its dance
ally enough so that the othei oi
,ani7ations do not hove to post
pone thens until late in the se
mestei, there* is no reason why
this dance should ifot be made
ti aditiona!
'Why not be leasonable about
White Hall and give WRA unchal
enged light to be the first dance,
lot only this year but every year 9
Council Votes No
On Meter Survey
>-Deciding against conduction of
a survey on the parking metei
question, borough council voted
Tuesday night to invite any gioup
which had complaints or sugges
tions about the meteis to present
them befoie council at some future
meeting
Since the machines are now bor
ough pioperty, the, council’s op
inion was that any movement to
altei the present system must have
the suppoit of a stiong group
which is willing to agitate foi a
change
A suggestion that the meteis be
spread around town with alternate
free and pay spaces, instead of
concentrated in a few blocks as
Ihey now are was lejected by
Council It was pointed out that
this would piobably create trouble
with merchants
According to a survey of the
spread of meters throughout Penn
sylvania, State College is decidely
not, overcrowded with ’ the park
ing machines in comparison with
towns of similar size
