Phone Problem Expansion of the dormitory telephone exchange has turned out to be a mixed blessing for men liv ing in the West Dorms (formerly Tri-Dorms), with the announcement that incoming and outgo ing calls, with certain exceptions, are discontinued after 10 p.m. Nittany Dorm and Pollock Circle residents are slated to feel the same limitations of a common necessity as soon as their phones are connected to the dormitory switchboards. Origin of the ruling was difficult to trace, but it was finally learned that it was instituted by the supervisor of utilities, with the concurrence, on a trial basis, of the dean of men. Neither the Council on Administration nor the Board of Trustees has any jurisdiction in the mat ter. according to the executive secretary to the president. The difficulty of hiring operators for the later hours was given as the principal reason for the curtailment of the service, although possible abuses by a few individuals, and the disturbing of men trying to study were offered as contributory fc’-tors. Dorm councils will soon be organized in each of the residential units affected. One of their first tasks might well be a consideration of the pros and cons of an extension of telephone service to some reasonable hour, such as midnight, and a forwarding of recommendations, through the resi dent counsellors, to the dean of men, for possible remedial action. The futility of individual action cannot be over stressed, nor can the frequently amazing success of recognized governing bodies. The Collegian editor will lend his vigorous support to such groups at '"mpting to solve their own legitimate grievances th’Tugh proper channels. A Different Picture What happened to Penn State against Syracuse'.’ Where was our pass defense? What’s the matter with our passing attack? These and many other Questions were hurled back and forth Friday night after the “Rosey Rosewell” broadcast of the Penn State-Syracuse game. Although the Lions batted down 19 out of 31 Syracuse passes, held the Orange on the 10-yard line for four downs, and outplayed the opposition at every turn, everyone who heard the radio ac count of the game pictured an altogether different story. On each of the 12 passes caught, the Syracuse end or back had to battle with a Penn State de fense man to gain possession of the ball, and it was a rare occasion when an Orange gridder was “in the open’’ to receive a Custis pass. The Atlantic announcer, a local product, natur ally extolled even the small gains of the home team while minimizing the gains of the visitors. Everyone who heard Friday night’s broadcast received the reports from someone seeing the game as an attempt bv “little David” Syracuse to valiantly battle the “Goliath” Penn State and not the story of two teams fighting for a victory. From now until the end of the season, each Penn State opponent will outdo itself to try to dethrone the Lions, since the team that performs this feat will be classed as a success no matter what its season’s record shows. Next Saturday the Nittany team will meet an other passing attack and this time you, instead of the Rosy Rosewell of the gridiron, will be the i’.'d a e of Penn State’s effectiveness against aerial warfare. the daily collegian Successor to THE FREE LANCE, est. 1877 I'ublislml Tuesday through Saturday mornings inclusive dur* fg i lk* College year by the -staff of The Paily Cnllcgiun of The ''nt’svlvania State College.

It is well that students have this opportunity to express their individual views, but they should understand also that the College officials must deal directly with student government couneils and look to these councils to serve as channels through which the representative majority opin ions of the students which they respectfully rep resent may be transmitted to the College officials. That procedure is not only the soundest way of canvassing majority student opinion, but also it is the most democratic way.
