Dance Concert
In order to provide some outstanding enter
tainment on the College campus, the School of
Physical Education and Athletics is sponsoring
a Modern Dance Concert in Schwab Auditorium
at 8:15 p.m., Monday. The concert will feature
the newly popular dance team of Mark Ryder
and Emily Frankel. It is hoped that faculty,
students, and townspeople will come away from
the concert with a greater appreciation and un
derstanding of modern dance.
FOR MANY YEARS the world has scoffed
and scorned this contemporary art form because
it has been little known and misunderstood.
College physical education departments have
hesitated to include it in their curriculum be
cause men who have taken dancing parts have
been ridiculed and called effeminate. Modern
dance today, however, is coming into its own,
as witnessed by the fact that business men have
promoted whole musical comedies such as
"Oklahoma," "Bloomer Girl,"• and "Finian's
Rainbow."
Notables in the field of modern dance have
been Isadore Duncan, Ruth St. Denis, and Ted
Shawn. After them came Martha Graham.
Hanya Holm, Doris Humphrey. and Charles
Weidman. Emily Frankel and Mark Ryder,
the artists appearing here on Monday. are
prodigies of Graham and Weidman. They are
now on a transcontinental tour, having re
ceived ,high praise for their recent New York
concerts.
Frankel and Ryder will be concerned with
communicating their ideas and feelings through
the medium of movement in a time-space struc
ture, the secret of the modern dan!e. It will be
worth everyone's time and money to attend the
concert Monday. Tickets are on sale at Student
Union for the minimum price of 75 cents in
order that as many people as possible may be
attracted to this artistic performance.
To Strengthen
Last week All-College Cabinet approved the
formation of an intercouncil committee. Com
posed of representatives from , the eight school
councils, the committee's first job will be the
coordination of school council elections.
AS POINTED out by Elliot Krane, chairman
of the schools coordination committee, the op
eration of school councils is bogged down by at
least two factors.
Elections of the eight schools are held at
various times throughout the college year.
•This situation has produced not only ineffici
ency in the election machinery but confusion
among students as well.
Another disadvantage has been the gradua
tion of council officers prior to the completion
of their terms of office. Offices thus vacated
sometimes have not been filled, and council
operations often Have come to a standstill.
SCHEDULING OF ALL school elections on
the same day or at approximately the same time
is the main objective of the new committee. Suc
cess by the intercouncil committee in• obtaining
this goal easily could mean the rejuvenation of
the now-tottering council-government system.

has vanished ever since Francis "Punchy" Rogel was a
freshman.
And it is now that something must be done if Penn Staters
impending coach is to be a man who'll attract top-flight ma
terial through his own actions and personality, and one who'll
gain the tireless cooperation of the alumni.
~For the College's new coach must be more than a coach.
He must be an ambassador and a figurative if not
, an actual
back-slapper and an extoller of Penn State and Penn State
football. He must become a strong f..ymbol of Nittany football,
capable of attracting guards and halfbacks who : transcend
the fans' expectations. He must be all this because football
has burgeoned out of the swaddling clothes of plain football
to a big business, with all the facets of keen competition
between schools for available talent.
If he is not to be this, then we shall have to revert to •
slating nine Bucknells to win games in 1955.
It follows as naturally as roast to entree that to capture
the best and proper coach for Penn State, the College must
lay on the line a larger salary than $6,000 to $B,OOO. This it
true especially if the prospect already possesses high coach
ing stature, as for example, Johnny Michelosen, professional
Pittsburgh Steeler skipper reportedly boosted for the College
job by Penn State alumni in Pittsburgh..
The best and proper coach for Penn State will demand
moe thran $6,000, and will no doubt possess certain key
assistants he'll want to bring along or recruit. That is a
knotty problem when assistant football coaches' are already
on hand, as at the College. But regardless of their qualifica
tions, it is axiomatic and understood by the coaching4rater
nity that the big-time coaches of real stature often like to
keep their lieutenants beside them when switching schools.
So to secure the best and proper coach, the College must
-condescend to dig down for the shekels and allow the coach`"
freeselection of assistants. Any head coach whom the College
would sign for $6,000 while stating irrevocably "Here are
your assistants" is not the best and proper coach for Penn
State.
To secure the best and proper coach, the College must
also offer him more bush-beating assistance than the attrac
tion of a beautiful campus and a promise of a job to the
Willie Throwers when they graduate from State. If is in this
field that Penn State action has been at a comparative stand
still for almost the entire period since a group of Penn State
freshmen—coached by Earl Bruce—gave California State
Teachers College its only spotless football record in history,
in 1946.
The College can undertake more extensive high school
bush-beating and still not fall red-faced before the scolding
eye of the NCAA Sanity Code That this is possible, is cer
tainly being demonstrated by other Comparable institutions,
and even more extensive and concrete bush-beating tactics
by now-hesitant Penn State shou3d certainly be in order .if
the NCAA were to broaden its definite on-paper 'limits to
subsidization and then really and truly crack down on offend
ers—something the NCAA does not now do so thoroughly.
More effective operations in enticing the right football
talent to come to Penn State is a must if Penn State is to
reverse its downhill coasting that is now evident and was
evident before Coacn Joe Bedenk succeeded Coach Bob Hig
-gins for a year. No doubt the bleak outlook in playermaterial
was a factor in Coach Bedenk's, and perhaps even Higgins'
decision to quit. •
Thus, thorough bush-beating is a must and a help in
securing the best and proper coach, and vice versa.
. We have pointed out' that .the best and proper coach for
Penn State is one wl.io will be an attraction for Pennsylvania
schoolboy talent and likable to the alumni, and one who will
be given a green-light in selection otassistants, and one who'll
be paid well. Chances are that the best and proper coach is
one who'll have to be sought by the College, rather than the
opposite.
Perhaps that man is Michelosen. Or perhaps he is Earle
Edwards, who was end coach here 13 years and who holds
one advantage over Michelosen in that he's a Penn State
grad—something to be reckOned with by past custom.
Switching to Michigan State after reportedly 'being
promised the top job here prior to Bedenk's being named
head coach, Edwards is now entrenched more than ever
the Spartan school He is reported as well-liked, respected
and well-wooed, especially since he has lately been mentioned
prominently in Penn State coaching scuttlebutt.
Edwards? Michelosen? Whoever is chosen must be a go
getter. Then too, College policy on bush-beating must be
re-vitalized. These two things—the proper" coach and re
vitalized bush-beating---should be the College's goals today.
Anything less, if it exists, is catastrophic to Penn State foot
ball and will in future years show itself . as plainly ae, a
dropped egg on a hash :plate

With The Staff
- One of the local "humor" magazine's beauti
ful coed Salesmen cornered a likely looking
prospect on the Mall Tuesday. •
"Buy a Most?" she asked. "Don't let the cover
fool you, though, it's really Froth."
The prospect put his money back in his
pocket.
"You shouldn't have told me. I was going to
buy a copy."
First the sign on Schwab said, "Father with
Life," instead of "Life with Father."
Now it says, "Girl Crazy."

Language experts were having a field day in
111 Carnegie - Hall expressing the rule against
use of tobadco in different tongues: Rauchen
Verboten, Ne Fumez Pas, Ne Mozese Pusiti, Ne
Mowe Kyypitb, Se Prohibe Fumar.
Then some innocent layman tacked two
words to the bottom of the list and ruined their
fun.
"No Smoking."

The biggest understatement of the year was
made in a recent AIM council meeting—"We are

There was a young man at Penn State.

He had plenty of cash,
He just-called them all six weeks too late
