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.

TO THE EDITOR: From time to time the Col
iegian prints letters irom individual students who
have complaints and suggestions which relate to
matters within the managerial jurisdiction of Col
lege officials.
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.
Inedible, He Says
TO THE EDITOR: To make it short and sweet,
ping pong balls we cannot eat. Take out the PUB
and give us more grub.
TO THE EDITOR: My curiosity has been
aroused! X have encountered a problem which
needs an answer for my peace of mind. Despite
many sleepless nights, applied calculos, and Econ.
14, the solution has still eluded me.
Now my problem, Mr. Anthony is this—How
can the Teachers’ Colleges give more food with
greater variety and service at $6.50 a week than
the Nittany dining hall does at $12.50?
