PAGE TWO Others Say... Spirit Can't Be Forced SCHOOL SPIRIT is not the thing many in dignant scholars try to make it. There are some who believe that to entreat, to scold or to shame the members of an apathetic stu dent body will produce the desired changes/ To scold some one into cheering for his team at an athletic event is not unlike threatening an citizen into becoming a more patriotic one. In either- case, any new en thusiasm will be forced and unnatural, and will not last. Just as patriotism is built on a love for the institutions, the people and the mores of one's country, so must school spirit be the natural expression of a feeling of affec tion for one's school, its traditions and stand ards. • > Especially in athletic contests must there be i bond of identity with one’s fellow students which creates a spontaneous surge of “to getherness” in pulling for the team that is carrying on its shoulders the tradition and prestige of the school. —The Daily Utah Chronicle * * * Men Reign Supreme STAUNCH DEFENDERS of masculine su premacy were heartened everywhere last week. There still remains one area where the meeker sex stands supreme .compared to the coed. The area is in the sidewalk in front of Liz Waters where the boys from Frankenburger dorm delivered a smashing victory for cam pus men. For the fourth straight yepr, coeds from unit 4 were licked in a hopscotch con test. If a man no longer commands the home, if he gets worse grade-points than the gals, if- he is baffled and beaten by the vicious Wisconsin ratio, he can find one small consolation: . In the field of hopscotch, men still reign victorious. —The Daily Cardinal, Wisconsin ... Campus Chest Merits WHEN ANY charity organization asks for a contribution of money, it only succeeds in pushing the money into the darkest corner of the pocketbook or billfold. This is particularly true when a person has been asked by about five charity organizations to contribute money. In fact, many people will walk.on the other side of the street to avoid giving.- A person can give only so much, and that is all. This problem was taken to the convention in California for the presidents of all uni versities. All universities experience the same problem. The consensus was that there should be but one major drive during the entire school year. It would run only one week. At that time the total contributions would be divid ed up among the charity organizations . . ." —The Utah Daily Chronicle iatlg Collegian Successor to THE FREE LANCE, est. 1887 Published Tuesday through Saturday mornings in* elusive during the College year by the staff of The Daily Collegian of The Pennsylvania State College.

I I FRANCOISK ROSAY in "BACK STREETS OF PARIS" THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA HAVE YOU SIGNED the tribute letter to Leo Houck? You haven’t . . .you’d better “hurry right on down to” one of the signing stations—Graham’s A. C., Cathaum Theater, Corner Room, ’or Student Union—and sign your name to this worthy epistle. Tomorrow is the last day that you’ll be able to sign this letter which, it. is hoped, will speed Leo’s convalescence period in his Lancaster home. "WHY SIQN IT?” some may ask, "I don’t even know- him." But no true Penn Stater would utter any such thoughts, for Leo, or Fred as he.is more commonly known io his associates (he calls all his aquainlances Fred himself) for 27 years has been as much Penn Slate tradition as the Lion Shrine, Old Main and the Corner Room. ' He counts those 27 years of collegiate coaching “just about' the most Wonderful years a man could have in his lifetime.” In turn the Lion coaching staff has been proud to have a man of his character and stature working with them. HOUCK WENT through more than 200 professional boxing bouts without being knocked out, but this summer, while on cam pus for a week-long boxing clinic was suddenly stricken by acute Rushed immediately to his home, the “good old doctor” was admitted to St. Joseph’s hospital. f NOW WHILE HE eagerly looks for the upswing to take him back to the Vale of Old Mount Nittany, one of -the College’s most familiar figures will be missing from Rec Hall, Graham’s as well as other haunts of long standing. Reminiscing at Lancaster, Houck looks back on his professional career and also his stay at the College. He .began his professional career as a boy of 14. It was. a fast four-round affair with the decision ... a draw. FROM THAT POINT on he waged many a battle including a six-round no-decision fray with Gene Tunney. He put the world's' best in -their place. He' oulboxed the sluggerp and out punched the boxers. One of his opponents once said that he had the flutter of a butterfly and ihe sfing of a bumble-bee. His record as tutor of collegiate boxers has been equally- im pressive. In the 26 years since the Intercollegiate Boxing Associa tion of America has been in existence, Houck has developed seven team champions and 48 individual title winners. His record has always been among the best. No school has been able to match -his list of individual champions. During his 20-year tour in the punch-for-pay field he was acclaimed champion of Europe and Cuba but never was rec ognized in the United State despite decisions over middleweight champions of his era. _ . ■ _ Champion of the United States or not, he has more than once been declared “all-time champion of Penn State,” and he had never hoped for any higher acclaim. Don’t forget him, sign that letter to.day Pitt has a new fight song—but they don’t know it!' Working over the traditional University of Pittsburgh fight song, “Hail To Pitt,” Blue Band alto saxman Harry “Hub” Endres has composed “Hell To Pitt,” to be used for the first time at to night’s pep rally. . Musician' Endres is a native of Pittsburgh and—of all things— his mother attends night school at Pitt. The author came up with this song after the band members took up another parody of his for the Temple game while, enroute to Philadelphia last’ Friday. On the return trip, a fellow bands man suggested the Pitt sequel. Students are urged to learn the new words and to take this copy with them to tonight’s rally. The parody: (To be sung to the tune of "Hail To Pill") Hell to Pitt, hell to Pitt, is 1 our battle cry. Hell to Pitt, hell to Pitt, we will shout it to the sky. The Lion will twitch his mighty tail, and poor Pitt’s Panther will grow pale, , Then State will sweep on down the field ‘til victory is nigh. Hell to Pitt, hell to Pitt, men of Blue and White, Let’s hit ’em hard, team, rock ’em and sock ’em, stick right in. and fight. We’ll back you tho’ the game is tight.
