On To Pitt
Penn State’s football team will not be getting
any bowl bids in 1950, but the 18-14 victory
over Rutgers Saturday showed with little doubt
that bowl invitations and the accompanying
gridiron glory cannot be too far off.
A FOOTBALL PICTURE that was filled with
gloom and prophecies of disaster at the start of
the season has been turned into one of more
than moderate success by dint of some hard
work and careful planning by Coach Rip Engle
and his assistants, and by the fighting spirit of
as determined a group of men as has ever
donned the Blue and White. The task facing
Engle upon his arrival need not be enumerated
again. It suffices to say that it seemed insur
mountable.
Engle frankly confessed at the start of the
season that he would be content with two
victories. Those familiar with the football sit
uation at Penn State were doubtful that Engle
would be that successful. They were, how
ever, not counting on the coaching genius of a
man who by nature is a perfectionist and de
mands the same of his players.
Penn State has already won four of its eight
games and Rip Engle, “The Great White Father,”
has just about become “Mr. Penn State” in his
brief stay here. There is no doubt, we believe,
that with a victory over Pittsburgh this Satur
day, ol’ Rip could have the town.
On lo Pittsburgh!
College Conduct
D. A. DeMarino’s plea to All-College cabinet
which requested Penn State students to conduct
themselves as college students while in Pitts
burgh this weekend received unanimous sup
port.
THE ASSISTANT dean of men said he be
lieved if he could obtain support of campus
leaders his request would be more effective. The
dean of men’s office has received many com
plaints from hotels and other public places in
Pittsburgh protesting the behavior of Penn
State students. Some hotels became so disgusted
by actions of students the last few years, they
have banned Penn State students this weekend.
Complaints of misdemeanors bring unfavor
able publicity to the College. Remarks such
as "What kind of students go to that school?"
are detrimental to the College's reputation,
and make it more difficult for future students
to obtain lodging in Pittsburgh for football
weekends.
A good suggestion, we think, would be to at
tend the “Grand Finale” dance in the Schenley
hotel ballroom, Saturday night. It would be an
opportunity to meet your friends, help cement
relations with Pitt, and avoid recurrences of
misconduct.

No More Bottles
A Penn State coed narrowly missed serious
injury at the football game Saturday, when a
pop bottle tumbled from a grandstand ledge and
struck her foot. Fortunately, the sharp pain of
the blow was short-lived and no flesh wound
was inflicted.
HAD THIS BEEN a broken bottle, the student
might have suffered a far more serious injury.
As it was, the incident pointed up the danger
of permitting grandstand vendors to sell drinks
in glass bottles. Lack of concern for the public
on the part of the vendor and poor supervision
by officials in charge of Beaver field is apparent
Safety councils point out dangers of leaving
articles on floors of homes where three or four
persons reside. At Penn State, officials permit
bottles lo be strewn about grandstands where
twenty or twenty-five thousand spectators
gather.
Before another football game is played at
Beaver field, the administration should stipulate
in-contracts with refreshment vendors that glass
containers not be permitted in the stands.
Rousing Cheers
The most rousing cheers of the season were
heard at the Rutgers game Saturday, and what
®verthe reason—the many seniors seeing their
last Beaver field game as undergraduates or the
genuinely exciting suspense of the contest—it
certainly was a change from the dead cheering
of previous weekends.
THE CHEERLEADERS were also in their best
form. Admittedly, they weren’t perfect but were
improved over other Saturdays. They led the
cheers with spirit, and the crowd followed them
all the way.
An innovation which proved successful was
placing several cheerleaders in the stands.
This personal contact spurred the yelling.
And. judging by the crowd's reaction, the
new 'go-team-go" cheer appeared to be one
of the best new yells to be tried in a long
time*

‘Chest’ Drive Fallacies
Whether the Campus chest drive this year is considered a suc
cess or not depends largely on how one defines the term success.
THERE ARE certain fallacies in the chest set-up which, we
think, ought to be studied with
a view to correction in future
drives. Whether or not these fal
lacies lead us to differ with the
chest official’s definition of sue-1
cess is useless bickering and of
no real importance.
The important thing is—what's
going to happen now?
A lot of students refused to
contribute this year because they
felt no sympathy with this or that
particular charity included in the
list. Others refused because they
differed with the pro-rated per
centages of money to be allotted
to each charity out of the total
amount collected.
Therefore,- why not investigate
a system in which each student
could determine his own contri
bution to each charity?
CHEST OFFICIALS have told
us that the percentages allotted
this year were worked out mathe
matically on the basis of the
amount of money of these char
ities have collected in individual
drives conducted in other years.
Thus, if an individual feels that
too much is being given to one
charity, the chances are that
someone else thinks that charity
is .not getting enough and the
differences are evened out wh.en
the whole student body’s contri-

butions are totaled, the officials
say.
Well, in the first place, we see
I no, reason to conclude that stu
dents this year feel the same
about these charities as did stu
dents of other years.
Secondly, we feel that charity
giving is a personal matter be
tween a man, his conscience and
his pocketbook. It is unfair to
force a man to assume that oth
ers will “even out” his own esti
mate of the worthiness of these
charities. It is also bad business
technique to let an individual’s
entire contribution slip by, simp
ly because he takes exception to
any one of the charities.
We still think a campus chest
is an excellent idea. We just think
the set-up needs a little democra
tizing.
