Task for 'Rip'
Charles “Rip” Engle returns to the campus
today and brings with him the winged-T and
a new era in Penn State football.
COACH ENGLE faces a gigantic task. He
takes over a squad depleted by graduation
losses. Gone are 19 out of the first 22 men of the
1949 squad. Gone are 9 of the 11 starters from
the same team. Gone are Rogel, Hicks, Norton,
the Drazenoviches, etc., et al.
The guide of Penn Stale's future football
fortunes will have to start from the ground up.
And the going will not be easy, for with a
rugged schedule and a green squad it is not
likely that the 1950 Lions will break even on
the gridiron this Fall.
In selecting Engle to lead the Lions back on
the trail that leads to Cotton Bowl invitations,
the Athletic Advisory Board made a wise,
choice. The Board picked a man with vast'
football experience, an excellent record, and
vision. That Engle was chosen as one of the
coaches for the Northern all-stars in the North-
South game this past season, that his Brown
teams won 15 and lost 3 in the past two years,
and that he was one of the founders of the
winged-T bears testimony to this.
ENGLE IS A MASTER football strategian,
one of a band of men who have taken the game
out of the horse and buggy era and made it a
science. He is also a realist.
"There's plenty of material in this State,"
Engle told reporters over the past weekend,
"and I'm going out to get it."
In addition, Engle acknowledged that football
games are harder to win now because the game
has become highly competitive, schools outdo
ing each other in the search for talent.
But it is possible to work within the limits of
academic standards and the tenets of the NCAA
sanity code and produce a winner.
THERE IS NO REASON why Penn State can
not have a winning football team. The alumni
and the students are behind Coach Engle. Now,
let’s get the job. started.
Anti-Cynics
The campus YWCA, sponsored by the Penn
State Christian Association, will conclude the
celebration of YWCA week today.
APPROXIMATELY 2600 YWCA groups
throughout the country used personal respon
sibility as the focal point on their nation-wide
observance.
That a belter world begins with the indi
vidual is a fundamental principle in a demo
cracy. In his home, his work, and his com
munity one finds his first' opportunity and
his first responsibility as a human being and
as a citizen.
If each person accepts this responsibility it
follows that the nation and the world, which are
composed of individuals, cannot escape improve
ment.
THEREFORE it is a credit to the three million
YWCA members in this country, that they are
endeavoring to , show the importance of per
sonal responsibility in an era symbolized by
cynicism, confusion, and a futile what-can-I-do
attitude.

More Athletic Facilities
TO THE EDITOR: Students! This letter is an open
invitation for your views upon a very sore spot here in the
College that seems to have been overlooked during the recent
excitement over a new College president, campus politics,
and football coach. It is something that has affected every
body for the past few years, and that is: What about the
present gym and its facilities that
the College proudly presents to
the people of this state?
Here we are, a student body of
10,000 trying to use a gym that
was designed for half that num
ber —and the College has expec
tations of soon reaching the 15,-
000 mark. No wonder if you want
to get a seat for a basketball
game or a wrestling match, you
have to go two hours early. And
what happens to the people that
can’t go early?
Or have any of you fellows ever
tried to go out for a sport? Did
you have room enough to move
around in there, and were you
able to get a locker? They call
it “Recreation Hall” in the Col
lege Bulletin, but what does it
offer in the line of recreation?
Granted that you have a few
handball courts there, but try
and get one to use sometime. And
too, they have some intramural
sports, and dances, but how much
room is there? So how about it
students—what do you think?
This past year each student has
contributed $lB for athletic fees —
and what has happened to it? The
subject of additional facilities, and
even a new gym, has been brought
up yearly to the College Budget
Committee—with no results!
What do you think?

with Messrs. Baum and Van
Haelewynwho cite the need for
a field house to increase the
College's athletic facilities; our
position on this has been told
before, and still holds. A Col
lege committee has reportedly
been working toward that goal
for a few years, and we think a
field house deserves much more
student concern than has been
evident in our tenure on capi
pus.
Just for the record, though.
Just for the record, though, we
should clarify the above letter
by citing the recent state appro
priation for,a Rec Hall wing,'to
include bowling, handball and
squash facilities, while adding
much new locker space. This
will help, but it won't assuage
the inadequacy of Rec Hall
seating capacity.
1 Further: $l5 of each student's
yearly. $lB athletic fee goes to
ward underwriting a 16-sport
varsity athletic program and is
therefore not available for
buildings, according to Harold

ager of athletics. The other
three bucks, alas, do not stay on
campus. Uncle Sam gobbles
them as a federal tax on amuse
ment tickets.

Senate Report on Latch
TO THE EDITOR: Collegian has variously
reported that the College Senate, at its last
meeting, “did not oppose,” “raised no objection
to, and “gave consent to” the action of the
Executive Committee on the Board of Trus
tees in refusing to renew Dr. Lee Lorch’s con
tract.
A great deal is implied in these accounts of
the "Senate meeting from a relatively simple
sequence of events. Following the customary
order of business, Mr. A. O. Morse read a care
fully prepared statement regarding the circum
stances which preceded the decision in Dr.
Lorch’s case. Mr. Morse then asked for com
ments, whereupon Dr. Lorch spoke briefly.
There was no further discussion and a motion
to adjourn was adopted.
It is quite true that the Senate did not dis
approve the administration’s action. It is equ
ally true that it did not approve the action. In
brief, no action at all was asked for or taken. It
seemed to us that the purpose of Mr. Morse’s
statement was to acquaint the members of the
Senate with the administration’s point of view
as a matter of information. It is unlikely that
Senate action was anticipated since neither the
rules nor customary practice'give it the author
ity to sit as a judicial body respecting the wis
dom of retaining or releasing particular faculty
members. ■
As members of the College Senate, we are
sufficiently concerned with Collegian’s mis
representation of the Senate’s position and func
tion m this affair to call your attention to the
matter.
