Short Ye Slate
Cheering sections at Penn State have been
noticeably weak for years, but cheering struck
a new low at the Lehigh-Penn State football game
last weekend. 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

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

Now It Can Be Toldi
One of the College's ed profs journeyed to New
York one day last year to attend one of the teach
ers' conventions in session there. While . in the
city ye learned gentleman bought a new car and
stored it in a garage for the duration of th€ con
vention. .
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. But can you imagine the langUage
the dismayed fellow must have used when he.
discovered he had purchased a ROUND TRIP
ticket to New York! •
