PAGE TWO Mr. Waring, Trustee The surprise appointment of Fred Waring to the Board of Trustees by Governor Duff was well re ceived by both students and some administrative officials at the College. It has been expressed by student government leaders and in the Daily Collegian that many of the present members of the Board are too far removed, both in age and distance, from the present trend of campus life to fully appreciate the problems which confront the undergradu uates. While no one expects Waring to establish resi dence in State College, his recent visit to the cam pus indicates that his interest in Penn State has not waned. While here, he had the initiative to mention the need for a new auditorium over a nation-wide hook-up, and to talk to students about other campus needs. The appointment of Waring may indicate a fu ture trend in the selection of Trustees. Perhaps the governor believes there is a need for younger, more progressive Board members. The rapid expansion of the College in recent years would bear this out far while the College is getting older in years it is getting younger in its ideas. We can't help but feeling that the co-op issue Wouldn’t have suffered such an initial blow if tWaring and others like him were deciding its ffls. Letters Bemoans the Missing Band TO THE EDITOR: Enclosed (seven column pic ture of band) is one of the many items from the Miami, Fla., newspapers publicizing the University of Kansas band which made the trip to the Orange Bowl through state subscription. It's too bad they had to make excuses on the radio for our band when actually it was the financial situation which stood in the way. We should all take our hats off to Kansas for their spirit in raising, through state-wide subscrip tion. $lB,OOO to send their 120-piece band which was beneficial in establishing good-will far be yond the cost. Someday we’ll come from behind the old moun tain and see how the rest of the country lives. —S.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA One Man's Mea 4 by Bra French “Whew!” said Phineas T. Glockenspiel. “What a town that Dal las is!” “You had a good time at the Cotton Bowl game then, Phineas?” we asked Collegian’s feline authority on football weekends. “Well, to be truthful, I didn’t see much of the game. We went to a New Year’s Eve party out in Highland Park and never arrived at the stadium until the end of the first half. From where we sat we couldn’t see any difference be tween the great Doak Walker and n ur own Elwood Petchel and SMTJ can keep their Johnso n and Fol som as long as we have Frannie Rogel, Larry Cooney, and Chuck Drazenovidh. And did you see the , . work of the Seven Mountains and their replacements—the Nittany foothills!” “I take it then that you’re satisfied with a tie," we remarked. "Never satisfied." Phlneas replied, "but Bob Higgins' beys made us proud to be from Penn State when they roared back after spotting the Mustangs two touchdowns. “Now that football is over for another nine months or so, the only question remaining is what happens to the $66,000 or so from the proceeds of the game. 1 hope that the Athletic Association uses it to help some of the other sports as well as football. Not enough em phasis is placed on the so-called “minor" sports such as basketball, boxing, wrestling, etc. Those athletes work just as hard for their alma mater as the pigskin luggers and get much leas in return. Even the “S” on their varsity sweaters is smaller. “There’s much talk around campus of different organizations giv ing scholarships to the football team but what about the other sports. Who talks about giving aid to members of the cross-country team for instance? And don’t forget, they’re National champs! To our way of thinking, there’s nothing wrong with helping members of the football team through school. Students who work on publications or in politics receive a little money so why not the athletes? But let’s spread it around to all who spend their free time training for a College tcstn "And while we're on the subject, let's not limit an athlete to one sport. In the off-seasons, footballers should be able to take part in boxing, basketball, or any other sport if they choose. Let's not build up a great football team at the expense of Penn State athletics as a whole." —LGF “Have you heard of this 'blanket permission’ ruling that the coeds are trying to have put into effect?” we asked Glockenspiel. “Yes, I have,” he replied. "At first I thought the girls were trying to get permission to carry blankets on campus but now I see that 1 was wrong. Under the proposed plan, parents of the girls would notify the Dean of Women’s office at the beginning of the year that their daughter has their permission to leave campus at any time without a special letter from home. A postcard would be sent to the parents each time the girl signs out. “It sounds like a good idea but like all progressive ideas brought up by the girls, it will die a lingering and unpublicized death. The coeds, themselves, are afraid to speak out in favor of it because there are too many ways the D of W’s office can retaliate. Sure, the girls make their own rules through the WSGA Senate but I just wonder how many rules they have passed that weren’t first approved by the D of W.” "Phineas. I thought you had learned that you can't buck City Hall,” we scolded. The feline authority crawled bade in his hole and began nibbling at his bitter catnip. ISOLATION WARD? It was the first period of the big game on the West Coast and Southern Cal had just kicked an extra point to make the score 10-7, favor of Notre Dame. The three patients in the men’s ward at the infirmary settled back on their beds and turned the radio volume up again to catch the kick-off details. But at that moment the nurse entered the room, admonished them for breaking regulations and took their portable radio away from them. That, on top of their ailments, isn’t exactly conducive to rapid recovery. SOMEONE'S OFF THE BEAM Gerry Karver, Penn State’s stellar mile runner, wore the colors of the College in the Sugar Bowl track tournament January 1. Curt Stone ran for Shanahan A. C. of Philadelphia. What stand has the College taken now regarding participation in events from which Negroes are barred? Didn’t the boxing team turn down a Sugar Bowl offer for that reason? Weren’t the only terms under which the football squad accepted the Cotton Bowl invitation tohse which allowed Hoggard and Triplett to play. Didn’t Penn State cancel an engagement with Miami U. last year for the furtherance of these lofty ideals? Penn State, after adopting the finer view of the situation, now is obligated to maintain its stand. Sure, we wanted Karver to compete in the fast company of his calibre. We wanted him to get the national spotlight. But, isn’t Penn State definitely opposed to discrimination in athletics? What about it, Senate Committee on Eligibility? And what is the Athletic Advisory Board going to do about it? CHINESE STYLE NEXT. PERHAPS The Post Office department is considering a suggestion to change the method of addressing envelopes to speed sorting and delivery by post office personnel. If adopted, the regulation would require letter writers to place the town and state on the first line, the street address next, and the name of the addressee on the last line—or completely inverted from the present style.

Editors Mai I cal I Thanks, Ladies TO THE EDITOR: We are happy to find that there are six coeds on this campus who have our interests at heart. Considering that a majority of the men are ▼eta with several years of military discipline under their belts, a statement of ten o'clock per missions is a joke. If only a letter from mother could have kept us out of the guardhouse for coming in live minutes latel Besides what can a clean-cut, red-blooded American boy do in this burg after ten o'clock? And may we compare the new Nittany Dorms with the new Women’s Dorms under construction. Double rooms in W.D. will be 12x17 feet while our boudoirs are 10x12 feet. Even single rooms will be larger than our double rooms. Compared with your small double dressers with 8 large drawers and four small ones, we have a large single dresser with four large drawers and two small drawers: one dresser for two men. And is comparing night table and telephone to double bunks and bare floors rubbing it in? Are lovely open dust-catching closets comparable to sliding door wardrobes? Need we continue? From six man who never had it so good, Howard W. Eckert, Walter P. Lehnert, Kenneth Saff, Jack Frassinelli, Daniel Baker, Quy W. Dennision P.S. And we have no view! Where Was the Blue Band? TO THE EDITOR: Where was the Penn State Blue Band on New Year’s Day? Certainly not in Dallas, Texas, where it should have been! The College made about $75,000 from the Cotton Bowl game and yet couldn’t afford to spend part of that and send the Blue Band to Dallas. Instead, State pays a Texas High School band to play. If the football squad receives a bowl bid next year, I hope the College feels it can spend a little of the money earned this year on the men who give their time and spirit to play for the scheduled football games, and send the Band as well as the squad. The South will talk about the mighty Penn State football team, but there would be a lot more “noise” if it could have seen and heard our Band in action. Why didn’t the Blue Band go to Dallas??? —Margaret Leister • The Blue Band didn't go to Dallas because of a decision by Mr. S. K. Hostetter, assistant to the president in charge of business and finance, and Mr. Harold R. Gilbert, graduate manager of athletics. U was felt that, since athletics have been a drain on the general fund for many years, the money received from the Cotton Bowl would help the deficit. The While Oak High School Band, which rep resented Penn State at the Cotton Bowl, volun teered its services and received no pay from the College. Observers claim that this band far out shone the SMU band. Evidently the College officials believed that the estimated $lB,OOO needed to send the Blue Band to Dallas could be put to better use in the athletic program. Whether the money is put to good use remains to be seen. From the Forgotten Men TO THE EDITOR: The forgotten men of “Mud Row” Nittany Dorms plead once again for better conditions. The piling up of insult upon injury has became just a little bit more than this person can bear. I bring before the public eye just two of the most recent gripes from the list of hundreds that We have to bear. 1. A recant noo n meal of no meal: a dry, half cooked potato with no gravy: carroli: tome beat up celery, and the usual .bread, milk and dessert made someone fat, but it certainly surely wasn't the poor souls who had to eat it. 2. It has been the routine for our landlords to open their hearts and give us one clean sheet a week. That was until yesterday, when for no good reason, the higher few decided that we will have to use our already dirty sheet for another week. I ask you, is such an action for the benefit of our health, or is it to save some Christmas pan money from the laundry bill? I rest my case. Glad to Hear It TO THE EDITOR: Last Sunday at noon, there was a welcome home rally for the football team in front of the Corner Room. It was one of the largest rallies that I’ve seen this semester. There were a few students, and about 2,000 townspeople there. The town band that was there played the College and everyone from a six-month-old child to a man well over eighty cheered as the three buses rolled in. It was something that I wished every student could have seen. It was one of the 100-few times that the people in town showed the students that they were behind them, and supporting them. It was a wonderful gesture on the part of everyone to come out and give the team the welcome home they deserved. I'm sure that everyone who want ed to be there t 0 halo in the cheering will be happy to know that the team WAS received in style. —Chuck Weiss • The students at Central State Teachers College in Stevens Point, Wis., recently organized a student co-op cafeteria on campus. • The U. of Wisconsin established a consumer co op grocery store on their campus last year.
