Casual uoservaUuns before, during and after
..mrciay's West Virginia football game, ,revealed
,iio interesting facets of Penn State spirit.
Well Done, Sophs
r iash-card rooting sophomores and their cheer
ier directors did a magnificent job with the
ovel and unfamiliar technique of forming letters
r.d designs with small pieces of colored card
ard. „
Noticing that the fad has spread to Georgia
oh and Southern Methodist, we glean a valu
■le tip from the Engineers. Although their first
„empt was a fiasco, they discovered that the
ist effective way to hold the cards is parallel
the slope of the stands, with the upper edge
t below the eyes.
About 99 and 44/100ths percent of the sophs
naved in the mature way we expected they
ould and should. But if the few childish ones
:st can’t resist the temptation to toss their cards
the winds, may we suggest they sit in another
!ion?
A Little Louder, Seniors
i s there something about the appellation
■ senior” that denotes apathy and lack of en
thusiasm? The sitting-on-hands lack of interns,
in cheering in the senior sections was disappoint
ing in contrast to the pep evinced by the sophs
ind juniors.
Being on the home stretch toward that coveted
leepskin doesn’t suddenly make vocal expres
:ons of loyalty undignified or inappropriate,
fter all, who should be expected to love the
d school better than one who has stuck out three
ars of its triumphs and defeats—its virtues and
faults?
\.side to cheerleaders. Perhaps by standing on
i ramps, like the West Virginians did, you
uld be seen more easily, and be better able to
id the rooting.
You might also stage your pep rallies where
■.nounced, and have someone around to turn on
le PA system. That way your original ideas could
■ appreciated more.

"Why, it's CHILD'S play!"
Corner Rumors
Saturday’s game should run a close second to Homecoming—
in the number of antics and returning alums. Congratulations to
the sophomores lor their flashboard routines—nice that these young
sters are learning to spell.
Frothy, mug and all, gave our boy the Lion, even with his new
suit, a fight for stellar position. A slightly forlorn West Virginia
Mountaineer played a “bit” part, Jim Dunaway, promotion man
ager for Froth, filled “Frothy’s” suit (and probably emptied his
mug). “Fuzzy” Lamade wore the latest thing in lion’s apparel—a
two-toned suit!
Some psychology graduates hopes to find jobs treating men
ial cases in clinics, but Albert “Duke” Cassidy, former psychology
student, beats all. He left several weeks ago for the Philippines to
take care of an island of nuts! Coconuts, that is.
-- Cassidy purchased the 9c _xre tract, just off the coast of Leyte,
during his service with the Army intelligence service in the last
war. For 600 pesos (about $300) he obtained the island, complete
with copra plantation, from an old Spanish couple.
James Milholland, acting president of the College, and Samuel
K. Hostetter, treasurer and assistant to the president in charge of
business and finance, were made Masons at sight recently in a cere
mony presided over by the Right Worshipful Grand Master George
H. Deike. Deike, of Pittsburgh, is a member of the Board of Trustees.

From State to Nuts
TO THE EDITOR: The All-College Cabinet is
at present conducting a formal investigation of
the existing conditions in the College dining com
mons. Reports on the committee’s formation and
progress nave been printed in Collegian during
the past week for the benefit of all those inter
ested. From Mr. Smith’s letter, I must presume
that he is either uninformed or wishes to take
the matter out of the hands of the student govern
ment body which represents him.
As All-College President, I should like to re
queue that Mr. smith, and any others feeling as he
does, will bear with us and give Cabinet an op
portunity to complete its investigation. When all
of the pertinent facts have been gathered and
weighed by Cabinet, I can assure you that appro
priate action will be taken. Let us strengthen our
student government by proving we can solve our
own problems in an adult and democratic manner.
