' Penn State's physical fitness program resembles
iy . -th which might haVe existed but merely was
tool to drop . the . freshman and jayvee athletic
trams and turn the money into a padlocked fund
which is gathering cobwebs instead of being used
to sponsor that talked-of and thought-of physichl
• fitness program. Nothing has been done.
• Last year student leaders made many •efforts
:to try to get a compulsory physical eduCatiOn
program for upperclassmen and possible lengthen
...of the hours for freshmen and sophomores. Now,
instead or having a single two-period, the - latter
two classes have what amounts to three one-half
)sour periods, an improvement, at least. But about
- 111 e request for more phys ed for upperclassmen,
)iOthing has been done.
It is only logical that a person
.who is greatly
experienced in matters of this sort would realize
the necessity for having such an extensive athletic
jirogram—one that would extend to every individ
ual.. But instead of getting busy and figuring a
, way to stretch present facilities the Phys Ed school
• 'fathers sit back and wait for a miracle to solve
• the problem, again nothing has been done.
. Penn State students should be grateful to Art
Davis coach of the hockey team whose efforts fin
!:illy 'got the College to flood the tennis courts so
iiiat Old Man Winter's freezing temperatures
could provide students with an ice skating rink
.ein campus—not two miles down the road. At ,first
vomeone decided that it would take too many men
io provide this needed means of exercise then
Davis and others yelped in behalf of the students
o that work on the ice rink has now started. •
'What all this downright laxity means is that
norne other. group or some other persons will see
the need and finally take some action on it.' If
Dean Schott won't see the.way clear to get male
students 'in shape then somebody else will. Some
ether group will probably sponsor an afternoon
bike and calisthentics program a couple of times
a week or maybe at night. This would beamove
in the right direction but would really be trying
to close the door after the. horse is stolen.. Action
should have been taken a long time ago so that
I)hys.ed classes for juniors and seniors could have
been scheduled' this semester.
Grippe, smallpox, and other diseases are around.
,Good diet, adequate sleep, and plenty of exercise
Lire necessary to effectively combat sickness—a
.s•ondition no one wants or can afford. Most of
the male students will be entering the armed serv
ices of the country on a snore active status' and
wilt have'to• undergo a stiff physical training

CLEVER COMMENTS

Dear Pop:
Please rush a century note—fees come clue next
Gee, isn't it funny? When I was a freshman, I
always buried the request for cash down in the
last paragraph—kinda eased into it: But when I
was a freshinan things were different up here in
the Valley..
This year I don't feel a bit ashamed about ask
ing for cash ,even though a lotta pebple are say
ing that we college kids are a bunch of draft dbd
gers. Reason I:feel kinda good about it all is be
cause my prof. told me the other day that, with
my technical background, I'll be a pretty import
ant man in the war effort when I graduate in May.
For awhile though, I was a little worried—you
khoW how I put on those extra pounds because I
never got any exercise? I don't have to worry
about that any more. Last Fall, the' college de
cided that
.because only a few fellows benefitted
by freshmen athletics, the five thousand dollars
spent every year for this purpose would be better
used if applied to a physical fitness program. One
of these days they might get started on it.
When I pay my fees next week, seven and a half
of your well earned bucks are going into the ath_
letic till. I'll get to see a couple of pretty good
basketball games and a few boxing and wrestling
matches, but the rest of the money is going to .
help defray the expenses of•my thinking of a cou
ple of hours of exercise in our modern gym every
day.
Dean Schott•and the rest of the Phys Ed school
faculty have been swell. Some of them now work
two or three hours a day conducting claSses. Even
.some of the upperclassmen in the Phys Ed school
. are doing the same thing.
Of course, there are a •few inconveniences.
Some of us have to dress in our rooms because
the locker space in Rec Hall is heing rationed,'
but none of the fellows mind it at all.
Really, Pop, it kinda makes you
,proud pf the
college, the way they seem to be:gding out of their
way to help•uS become ;more useful to our coun
try. .

Frothy In A Turmoil
Ti!i a saddayAor .Frothy and his staff of illit_
erates across the hall. Twice now the deadline for
the humor-mag's first edition of the semester has
been extended. . • • •
Froth staff members contend that the deadline
was extended because the 'big-wigs .of the staff
retired to the Rathske.llar to dope out an editorial
Others say,
,however, that the delay resulted
when an over zealous janitor,
.who, while clean
ing out the "hole," tossed all the back issues into
the wastepaper basket.

Putting It Off
Means Failure •
When a freshman class is large,
orientation helps the College . - to
keep track of new members and
gives the class unity as well as
acquaintance with the aChoOl.
When the class is small, the

for the coeds . and men within the
