NO D--ICE
TOMORROW, Penn State’s ice hockey
team—the “iceless wondei ” —opens its sea
son on the Hershey arena, consideied the
liome rink, but more than 100 miles away
For over a month, Coach Arthur F Da
vis has been conditioning's squad on the
haidwood gymnasium flooi of Recieation
Hall. Stick handling,and puck maneuvei
mg have been attempted, but all without
ice
Hockey enthusiasts had organised .1
“make-shift” team last vear undismayed
Ly the lack of facilities. This year’s con
tinuation of such a team certainly indicates
an overflow of enthusiasm for the sport.
That ice skating, hockey in particular, is
an excellent and popular form of recieation
and "healthful exercise cannot be denied
Yet, ice skating, a traditional winter sport,
has suffered alpng with other winter sports
here because of the lack of facilities
If Penn State'is to profit by its arctic,
climate and the mid-winter sporting,exub--’
crance which goes with it, sonic provision
should be made for an ice skating rmk.
True enough, the duck pond is lust out
side-the borough limits and Whipple s Dam
is only 15,miles away But the duck pond,
fed by springs, seldom offers moi e than an
unsafe, thin, rough layei of ice, and Whip
pie’sJDam freezes in only the bi.ttei est win
tei weather.
■\s -yet, ice, hockey is not a fully-recng
nwed intercollegiate sport on this campus.
Some" approval is given, however, and this
vear’s squad received ,an appropriation of
Si 00.
But $lOO is hardly enough to finance
the team, without contemplating the elec
tion of a rink with anypart of that fund
If-an elaborate rink is out of the ques
tion, the proposal for a temporary arena lo
cated on some of the athletic space winch
lies dormant throughout the winter (such
as the football practice field, the soccer
field, Holmes field, or even the tennis
courts) might not entail 100 great an ex
penditure and would be worthy of consid
eration.
Fifty students who comprise the hockey
squad would hot be the only pei sons to use
the ice. The project certainly would be all-
College in its scope .1 E J Mcl.

IT IS DIFFICULT to understand how the

THERE ARE SOME PERSONS 111 town
and on the campus who will be interested
to know that the Student Housing Board
has settled approximately six cases “out,of

though the group js still waiting for a some

chief, function thus far has been to act as

Mad Russian vs. Madder General
That ardent defender of the New Deal, that mad
Russian liberal, our own downy-fcheeked, curl\-
honded Johnny Tioanovitch, is our heio of the,
week, foi it was none other than orn cute little
e'-ediloi who did the seemingly impossible lecently
he actually slumped that blatant, red-faced
i pactionary, General Hugh S Johnson
Johnny was eovenng the general’s speech m
Pittsburgh foi the Pioss’and as .Johnson giound
Ins axe on the New' Peal, deciying c?ntiali7atio»
of government as dictatoixhip, out Tolm binned up
inside as only our John can
Finally Johnson tuined the meeting into an open
foi urn, and that’s where he made his mistake For
young John jumped to his fpel and m about thntv
well-chosen woids challenged the general’s state
ments ami beliefs in such a way that the usually
over-voluble Johnson uneasily mumbled a few
words that no one in’the audience cleaily under
stood, then took time out for a drink of watei

Last week we chided Mi Kemp foi a statement

Says the lettei “Mr Kemp knew what he was
saying , Someone substituted an ‘E’ foi an
‘O’ and thus ‘pedmtnst’ lesulted instead ot
“podiatrist ’
“1 would suggest that the writei of Cnmpuseei

So, Mr Kemp, op b?iu\pd knee we humbly apol

We won’t bother blaming Fioth foi it this
