PACE TWO
Bulging Rec
,Indoor sports season is here, and those at
tractive Penn State sports double and triple
headers in Rec Hall will begin soon. All indi
cations point to a Rec Hall bulging with seniors,
juniors, sophomores and freshmen when the
boxing, wrestling, basketball and gym teams
combine to stage those traditionally big shows.
Accentuate the sophs and frosh, for many
newcomers to the College campus demon
strated at Wednesday night's basketball game
that they'll be out for future Hee Hall sports
attractions.
An estimated 4,400 fans turned out to see
State thump Susquehanna. With' the spirit
and interest displayed Wednesday night by
students new to the campus, what's going to
happen this year when all the sports-minded
students try to see a boxing-basketball double
header, or boxing-wrestling twin bill in Rec
The answer is simple: some student fans
wip be turned away.
CFATAINLY A majority of the nearly 11,000
stifdents on campus will want to
,attend these
attractive Rec Hall events. Nittany instances in
the past have demonstrated that placing the
number of sports-minded and attendance-mind
ed Lion fans at one-half the student , body is
being conservative. Rec Hall officially holds
only 5,500, which Is a portent of many mass
mad-dashes to secure seats this year.
These masa - dashes to Rec Hall were con
fUsiOn-packed last year and the year before
that. They'll be even more to this year, prin.
because of the novelty of a Penn State
sPorti double-bill to so many new students
'on campus. •
flee Hall was. built 21 years ago. Today the
College enrollment is triple what it was then.
All of which points up one reason why the Col
lege needs a giant field house for both partici
ridtibn and spectator sports.
Dreamland
A wayward traveler, lost in the Nittany-
Pollock area, might think he was in a dream
land. The spirit of 'Christmas has so captured
the hearts of the men that, they have turned
into artists and have decorated the windows of
their dorms.
All the color and wonder of Christmas are .
depicted on the windows. Everything from'
snow and pine trees, to Santa Claus may be
seen. This sight clearly shows how deeply,
the spirit of• the Yule is imbedded in the
}maxi of American youth. Eitspite their blue
books and studying. they still have time to
enjoy the pleasantries of the Holiday.
Many of the displays also illustrate the au
thors have not forgotten the real reason of our
celebration, and picture scenes of Bethlehem.
In this manner the birth of our Saviour is
shown.

The Gripes of Roth
There's a new little handkerchief out which bids fair to revolu
tionize modern life
Like other great developments in the history of civilization,
fire, the wheel, etc., it's nothing complicated and spectacular.. No
!electronic tubes, vacuum chambers, mechanical "brains," and What.
'not are attached. In fact the whole thing is nothing more than
,an
ordinary white breast pocket handkerchief with an octagonal red
blob in the center. •
IN APPEARANCE it resembles hothing mote than a minitituke
Japanese battle flag. This little square of linen is designed to wih a
far greater victory than a military battle; however. It's man's wea
pon in the Battle of the SexeS.
Dubbed the "kisskercliief" by its distributors, Itisskerchief,
Inc., it's the perfect little item for a man with a jealous gal in his
. life. Purpose of the technicolored nose-wiper is to remove tell tale
lipstick smears implanted on male kisserk by less poseishre, but
certainly riot less ardent, young ladies.
Undoubtedly it's a "must" in the wardkobe of all big campus
K-men (Kiss-men to the uninitiated).
When the Kisskerchief 14 thrust into a jacket pocket, only the
white shows, so it look's like any ordinary handkerchief with a
hand rolled edge. But when the unwary young man is lured into a
dark corner by a predatory coed and there decked out in Christmasy
tints of Coty's Passion No. 5, only 25 cents at your nearest taproofh
or saloon, this handy little doodad becomes a lifesaver in a wolf's
clothing.
HE MERELY UNFURLS the kisskerchief, daubs at the face
paint, and Banzai!, all traces of incriminating evidence are efaced,
at least in theory. Nor can the Romeo's "steady" find clues as to. his
philandering by looking at his handkerchief. It's all as simple asr
that.
Lipstick is Just another element of modern life which is almost
too much for a man, anyhow. Science invented 'it, advertising sold
it, and the men were left to hold the bag.
The altruistic marketers of kisskerchief, having no interest
in profit, developed the idea of solving the vexing problem merely
to ease the stronger sex out of a dilema already complicated by
atom bombs, supersonic planes, and uplift brassieres. As they put
it, with so little chance to relax his harried nerves, there is always
the risk of man falling into a plunging neckline and being lost
forever.
The makers have likened it to, the eraser on a pencil, It destroy
all mistakes of moment's delight—even those he intended to make.
Mr. John Kohler, president of the firm, really, has somethin
here. There hasn't been anything new in either kisses or handker
chiefs for hundreds of years. While he hasn't improved the' forme .
the latter is something else.
IN ADDITION to its practical use, kisskerchiefs may very wet
in the future, be the gauge by which a man's popularity is measure
The more used in a week, the more . . . 1 1 1.
Now that someone has finally solved one of the many' prob.
lems in the love life of our civiliied Western society, I'm just
waiting for the lipstick makers to throw the whole prOjecpn th'e
ashcan.
It probably won't be long until cosmetic manufacturers, unwill
ing to let well enough alone, will greet milady with lip paint in ,
tints of green, yellow, and •purple.

Sadly Lacking
TO THE EDITOR: When we stare at that
country club called the Pennsylvania State
College, we are forced to face the quality of
her activities. And the biggest mishmash is
our lack' of an undergraduate literary maga
zine. Here we are a state university. of 10,000
undergraduates, with hundreds enrolled in lit
erature and the humanities, and we • cannot
find the originality, the will, and , the mentality
to write / creatively.
And while we scoff at the size of the smaller
colleges, they are turning out publications whose
standards are surpassed only by Ivy League
universities. When are ymi L.A. students going
to 'rise out of the mediocrity of numbers? Or
will you continue to miss one of the purposes
of a university?,_ •
Boxing ,or . Slugging
TO THE EDITOR: In regard to your paper'g
accountu of a recent night's boxing Matches, I
have two complaints. The first is about the
4riecittal amounts of space. Of course, a . TKO ,
deserves more space than a decision victory,
but the space allotted to decision fights should
nbt ;vary by So much as two paragraphs to
two lines as they did.
The second concerns gross inaccuracy : in
the accounts. My roommate's victory, while
having several exciting highlights, was heralded
by this simple clause:
... while Cooper outslugged Ronald
Eagle in a 135-pound independent
match.
The brevity of this account does not annoy
me nearly so much' as the word •"euislugged."
SlUgging, I realize * is the keynote of the major
ity of these bouts—all the more reason why.
.boxing should be recognized as such. If your
reporter thinks that "outslugged" is a synonym
for "outjabbed" or "outboxed," you'd

Men on what bouts should be given prpsnin
