Snow Show The snow and water which paralyzed most of this part of the United States proved at least one thing—this country is not the technical giant it was- once thought to be. MANY STUDENTS found themselves in the bizarre position of being marooned in some of the largest metropolises. About all they could do to help out was grab the coal shovel and start swinging. The more sedentary propped themselves in easy chairs and developed a shifty-eyed blind ness watching television cowboys. But even the eyes flickering because of real or video varieties of snow could not have been as frustrated as those of the formerly smug technicians who helplessly watched mother na ture boss streetcars, busses, and even snow plows and tow trucks right off the streets. Tremendous power and telephone companies in water-logged places like Altoona were sitting arohnd viewing the sparkling trees which look like somebody poured glass tubes around the branches. Like the rest of us they could admire the beauty of ice-bound trees, but for combat ting it, in the first few days at least, they were, excuse the expression, snowed under. ALONG WITH mountain-battling snow shov elers, transportation companies and snowbound students, their essential solution was to sit and wait for mother nature to solve her own prob lems. ' . , . Kids and snow shoe salesmen loved it while the rest of ns worried about bus schedules and the Pitt game. It would still be interesting to know what three feet of snow would do to our running attack. With high boots and shovels back in style, we can count one sure advantage for the winter of T 950. Nobody can talk to us about “old fash ioned* winters. • Fali-fresbened cows average 848 pounds more milk and 32 pounds more butterfat in a year than spring-freshened cows, reports C. R.

Landon Business Mgr. —Herbert Stein * » THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLECTS, PENNSYLVANIA Class Dilemma Many regularly scheduled class periods just before Thanksgiving vacation were so poorly attended that instructors called off the sessions after taking roll. Students who remained on campus until the official holiday quitting time were, rewarded only with credit for attendance. IT IS NOT our concern that some students cut these pre-vacation classes. But it is unfor tunate that students who remained to the end were turned away without any of the instruc tion which apparently they had anticipated. A simple administrative policy would do much to solve this vacation-lime dilemma. The administration should make it clear that a class is a class regardless of whether it falls immediately before Christmas vacation or in the middle of February; that the instructor will leach; and that attendance will be re corded in the usual fashion. In .this way, students can be assured that, when they abide by College calendar dates for vacations, class sessions actually will be con ducted up to the official deadline. Gazette • •.
