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.

more milk and 32 pounds more butterfat in a
year than spring-freshened cows, reports C. R.
Gearhart, extension dairy specialist of the Col
lege. Even though the feed bill is higher the
increased production results in $26 more net in
come per cow.

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.
