Letters to
the Editor
Dear Woody,
•In retaliation to the Collegian’s
attack, the townspeople’s attack,
and the attacks by the officials of
the college, I would like to bring
out a few points that have not
been considered by the majority
of the criticizers.
My purpose is not to defend the
drunkenness and riotousness of
the past Saturday night for we all
know that it was against the poli
cies of the Pennsylvania State
College that make it respected by
all who are familiar with the
school. My purpose is instead to
ask why it was not prevented. The
administration expected something
of the sort to happen, admits it,
but they did nothing to prevent
the occurence. The question will
now arise, “What cpuld they have
done?”
The answer is very easy and
several points can be enumer
ated:
1. Notification—The fraternities
could have been notified of the
conditions at a date further re
moved from the time that they
would have to vacate. All the fra
ternities should have been con
tacted by ONE man who was
aware of all the facts and could
have delivered them first hand
rather than going first to the ad
visors and then letting them take
the. material back to the fraterni
ties, with some points not wholly
understood even by themselves.
2, Moving —The College could
have attempted to make some sort
of an arrangement for helping the
fellows to move from the fraterni
ties.' Taxo . service, everyone
knows, is almost impossible and
the’hauling service just as bad.
Surely the College .could have
.made arrangements for the stiu
; dents to have their trunks , and
.luggage transported by college
trti'cks. The students .would tie
.willing,to pay for the service if
,it were offered to them.
3. Eating— Today, : 19 fraterni-'
ties will be eating their last meal
in their fraternity houses and
everyone knows what this is go
• ing to mean to the less than ade
quate facilities downtown. Still
the College hasn’t announced any
■plan for using the part of the old
'Sandwich Shop that the Curtiss
'Wright-'girls are not using. Nor
has there been any announcement
'about expanding the service that
the Home Economics cafeteria has
been rendering. Nothing has been
'done!
■ 4. Rooming—And how about
rooming facilities? Yes, we’ve al
ready been told there are plenty
of rooms, but try to 'find them!
Again, today the fraternities are
moving out and when does the
first list of available rooms be
come a reality today! This
doesn’t leave much time. Thanks,
Chamber of Commerce, it is too
bad you weren’t able to go to
work sooner. "Many of the home
and apartment owners have been
telling the students that their
rooms are only for married cou
ples. To this the big boys say,
"You can’t blame them, they have
a right to take whom they want
to.” Sure, we agree with you, but
remember what you told us?
C’est la guerre, we must do many
things we don’t like to do!
This could go on and on by men
tioning the trouble the Advanced
ROTC boys are having finding
rooms for two weeks and wonder
ing what clothes they should keep
up here, whether they will need
blankets or not, and many other
problems.

In Point Scoring
Lions Place Six Men
In Charmed Circle
Six regulars on ithe 1942-43 edi
tion of the Nittany Lion basket
ball team succeeded in scoring
over 100 points throughout the
season just concluded.
Star Lion center,' Dave Horn
stein led the Blue and White cag
ers with a total of 139 points. Horn.!
stein was recently named on the
first team of the Associated Press’
All-Pennsylvania basketball team.
Larry Gent, playing at the for
ward position, finished second to
Hornstein by only one point, hand
ing in a total of 138 points. Larry
Gent scored 59 field goals, highest
on the team.
Co-captain Herk Baltimore, by
scoring 16 points in the final
Georgetown game, pulled into the
third position only one point be
hind Gent with a 137 total.
Whitey Von Nieda, forward,
came in fourth with a total of 130
points for the season, followed by
freshman star Jack Biery with 118.
Johnny Egli was the sixth to make
the charmed circle with a total of
110 points scored.
By having six men -over the 100
mark, the Lions proved that they
were one of the best-balanced
teams in the East. Not many teams
can boast a starting five with point
totals over the century-mark.

Penn State’s record for the sea
son .shows 15 wins, against four
chalked up in the lost column.
Only teams to come out on the
top side of the Lions were NYU,
Pittsburgh, West Virginia, and
Georgetown. Of these four the
Lions were victorious in return
games with all except NYU, who
played only one game with the
Lions.
The Pehn State cagers scored a
total of 810 points for the 19-game
season which stacks up favorably
with the -597 points scored by all
opponents. Lions’ average per
game was 42.6 to that of 31.4 for
the opponents.
