Penn State has practically nothing. • . At about this same time last yea . r, Cabinet tried to get a recreation room and came within hair's breadth of being successful. Equipment for ping pong, pool and other games was •pur chased and made ready for installation in 301 Old Main. Then the department of grounds and buildings took away permission for use of the .room .and gave it to 'the statistical division. . That action. killed, for the. tithe . being, all chances of getting a room. It is' still necessary for the average man, wanting to play a game of ping.pong, to go to Rec Hall. and trade his towel ticket (if he has one) for paddles, net; and ball. It is easier for women. They're lucky enough to be able to just wall: into White Hall and -start playing. Those are the conditions today, but they shouldn't remain that way for long. The journal ism and music departments, and the student pub liCations will soon be moved froth Old Main to Carnegie Hall. Some of the rooms they now occupy shOUld be made over into rooms for re creation. Is that too much to ask? • fig 0044 r oliege Unit► In the same manner that football captain, H. Leonard Krouse used his torch 13 ignite the pep rally bonfire Thursday night, so did President galph D. Hetzel's inspiring remarks touch off with pqual spontanaity a bright spark of spirit and unity within the 5,000 Penn State men and wo men gathered there. • Must we limit the opportunity of gaining such student unity to pep rallies? Or_ would it be pos sible at the beginning of each semester,.or at least when College starts •in the fall, to have the Presi dent of the College address the entire student body and thus set the tone of campus life for the coming year? This practice of holding an opening convocation at which the College year is officially ushered in by the President hasn't been practiced for ,sev eral years, probably because of the difficulty of assembling in one place the ever growing student body. Despite the inconvenience of holding such a gathering, wouldn't it be worth while to re establish this tradition even if it meant using New Beaver Field as the site fox• this All-College mass meeting? Particularly in these times of rapidly changing circumstances, it seems to us•that the opportunity for all Penn State students to meet 'together to Chear their "Prexy" set forth goals and purposes for the coming year, would make for a more uni fied College family.

Bravely he thrust himself between the howling mob and its quarry but brawn was of no avail. He had one Chance leff--but time was fleeting.
