(Pro# Turns Thumbs Down
On Boola 800 la For Moola
By RONALD BONN
“The basic danger of college
football is that, as with competi
tive enterprise in business, once
yon become involved, you tend
to go deeper and deeper.”
So thinks Prof. Bernard W.
Wayne, whose opinions on grid
subjects hold special interest for
students of this college because
-the professor’s last teaching po
sition was with the University
of Chicago. That school has be T
come famous for the “all work
'and no players” policy of its
•chancellor, Dr. Robert Hutchins.
Economics Prof
While Professor Wayne, who
•has just been added to the
economics faculty here, holds no
for Hutchins’ uncompromis
r no-football stand, he is equal
opposed to the subsidization
practices of many schools. He
says, “I think intramural and in
ter-collegiate football are excel
lent for this or any other school.
,1 would, however, prefer to see
ithe decline of the sport at State
College, rather than have the
school adopt a paid-player poli
cy^”
Although the new professor has
[yet to see the Lions in action,
|,and has witnessed no intercol
legiate ball at Chicago, he is no
•stranger to the game. His ex
perience is an unusual story in
itself, for his last grid work was
with an amateur squad in Paris,
France, back in 1939, while at the
Sorbonne University. Asked if
the sport is popular there, he
answers in a slightly awed tone,
“Yes, but nothing like here?”
Student Altitude
Surprisingly enough, the stu
dent attitude towards football at
Chicago is one of complete in
difference. “They don’t even
think about it,” says Professor
Wayne; “they have too much
work to do.” /
The professor is well-posted on
Nittany football this year, for,
talkihg about it, he asks in
dignantly, “Why the devil don’t
we get some reserves?” He ex
presses high hopes for the Boston
College game tomorrow, which
will be the first he has seen.
Again, however, he. would rather
see us lose ball games than hire
teams. He deplores the current
collegiate tendency to lose sight
of the sport in the hunt for
glory.
Banned Football
Chancellor Hutchins banned
Chicago football because of an
often-expressed conviction that
the modern gridiron and the
classroom do not mix, and that
the former invariably' infringes
on the latter. Professor Wayne
takes a middle ground. Essen
tially his attitude is summed up
in Ins own sentence, “I like to
see you play football, ‘ but I
would also like to see you in
,the library.”

Traffic Rules
For Weekend
Outlined
Weekend traffic regulations for
State College were announced to
day.
Police Chief John R. Juba again
appealed to State College resi
dents to walk to the football game
at Beaver Field and park their
cars off the streets.
Parking facilities for several
thousand out-of-town cars have
been set up near the beef barns
on the campus, two blocks from
the field, and incoming traffic
will be directed to the area by
State Police assigned for- extra
duty because of the heavy volume
expected.
Countians have been urged to
take advantage of the campus
parking by both Chief Juba and
Campus Patrol Captain Philip
Mark. ,
No north-bound traffic on Bur
rowes street on the campus will
be allowed to keep one lane open
for emergency purposes. And left
turns onto the campus at College
and Burrowes are not permitted
during the rush periods.
Campus Political Campaign
(Continued, from page one)
percentage of students voting
usually is low. In the sophomore
class elections last year, when
about the same number was eligi
ble, less than 900 cast ballots.
In,the All-f College elections last
Spring, the resurgent Lion party
threw the then dominant State
party out of power in the upper
classes and the elective Cabinet
posts, giving the party five seats
on Cabinet. The presidents of
the sophomore and freshman
classes also will take seats on
Cabinet:
At the present time, Kenneth
Ralston, who was president of
the sophomore class last year, is
representing the current _ sopho
mores on Cabinet, while the
freshmen are not represented di
rectly.
. Both parties will hold meetings
Sunday, evening to prepare for
the Nov. 15 battle and to reorgan
ize their parties.
Undergraduates interested in
campus politics can. become mem
bers of either party by attending
clique meetings and receiving
clique cards, and by working
through various party commit
tees. Whether or not he is a mem
ber of a party, every student is
eligible to vote.
Parties on campus do no repre
sent any particular special inter
est group, but rather are formed
on lines which cross all group
interest boundaries. For the most
part, the two-party system has
prevailed at the College, with
most attempted third parties fall
ing through. Sometimes a third
party will rise to take the place
NOW!

Pep Rally
(Continued from page one)
coming Day festivities, next Fri
day, prior to the Nebraska football
game, a very unusual program is
being planned for the pep rally.
Next week as many outstanding
alumni as are available will be at
the rally, along with’ cheerlead
ers,- band members, and hat men,
combining to make the program
another' outstanding attraction for
the students.
Hank Glass,, who has attained
wide-spread 1 campus recognition
because of his outstanding stage
ability, will head the coming
week’s program. Now-engaged in
post graduate work, Glass has
been the mainstay of several
Players’ productions and for the

Green bow above a name card
is the distinguishing characteristic
of the new variety of creatures
which have descended upon the
Nittany habitat. Their official
name is “freshmen,” but because
of their gender, might better be
known as “fresh-women.”
Interesting things happen to
these characters. Witness the fol
lowing tale:
One green-bowed> female was
standing in the hallway of Car
negie Hall, after Froth’s candi
date meeting, when she was ap
proached by a male. Now all good
first semester girls know that
they aren’t permitted to speak to
boys. But, her dashing suitor was
speaking in a different language
when he said, “Well, , baby,
though you can’t talk, we can
converse.”
With this innocent statment he
grabbed her, and without further
preliminaries, kissed her. What
could she do? She smiled; she
couldn’t talk.
Ah, the language of love
doesn’t require mere words. Luc
