What had formerly been a few low noises and spasmodic outbursts settled down to a funeral dirge. Disorganized, 'half-hearted cheers greeted the Nittany Lion football team as they pushed the Lehigh Engineers from one goal post to another. Granted, the game was won in the opening sec onds; granted, after the first period, everyone iniew the outcome. But, it cannot be taken for granted that Penn State cheering should con tinually sound like a cross between a calliope and Conshohocken Prep cheering section. . The. fault may lie in the disorganization of 'the cheering section; it may be the lack of initia tive and unity on the part of the cheerleaders. ..It may be a combination of both. Whatever it is, the cheerleaders should take definite action in investigating the lack of the college "rah-rah .9pirit." There is nothing mire dispiriting to a football team than a poor cheering section, and nothing better than a solid, unified body of students'who ).:now how to give the "Short Yell, State . . . • ._ Short Yell, State." Ibis Is No Apple Polishing ' The Education School Council took / the first step last week toward fostering student-faculty relations by announcing plans for, an Education School jamboree. Perin State students have few activities where they may meet their professors on a social basis. `the classroom,' supplemented by such a social function as this, will provide a better under )atanding and deeper interest in College studies. Where before students have thought only of professors as a medium_through which they have acquired a better knowledge in their field of tudy, they will also discover the advantage in acquiring personal friendships with their pro :fessors. "Polish the apple" is a taunt hurled frequently at students seeking faculty advice. This taunt Will fade and become obscure if other school councils were to sponsor similar social projects. Professors easily recognize the professional "apple polisher." and treat him as such. When professors and students share the same experiences and congregate at similar social• functions, they will become more understanding n d considerate of each other. • We Still Eat And Sleep Three years ago, a Student Housing Board was established to consider student housing probletns. This year the board is non-existent. The problems still remain. In fact, since the . :;_ncrease in food prices and, in some cases, in crease in rent have caused non-fraternity men to pinch their pocket books, the need for a Student Housing Board is more apparent. Surveys and investigations of rooming and eat ing conditions of independent students would encourage and aid the general living standard of ;the average Penn State student. Whether the average Penn State student cares about his living Conditions has not been ascertained. However, the last Student Housing Board did not think so. We think differently, and the establishment of nother Student Housing Board, which would conscientiously perform its tasks, would definitely better the housing conditions for the Penn State •". • " Downtown Office 11P-121 Sohth Frazier St Phone 4:372 Heftert j.

So when the doings were over he hops a train and returns to the Nittany valley—minus the car. Of Course, being the highly intelligent and educated scholar that . he was, he soon became aware that he had forgotten his new auto and after hasty deliberation he hied himself over to Lewistown to catch the next train to N. Y, In due time he arrived in the city and got hig car out of hock.
