Rare Sight
The few hundred Penn Staters who returned
to Pittsburgh this past weekend were treated
to a rare sight that of a Penn State football
team beating Pittsburgh.
TKE SAME Penn Staters also viewed the
closing of a football season that saw the football
fortunes of the Nittany Lions take a welcome
and none too soon improvement.
Rip. Engle has produced a winning football
team, and, what is more important, a growing,
expanding system. It is a system that combines
good coaching, good material; and effective
.bushbeating.
Thai Engle has produced a ieam with a sea
son marl: of five wins, three losses, and a tie
from the wreckage of the past is evidence that
Penn State football is in good hands. At this
time, however, w v i!e talk of the future is in
order, let us not forget as willing and rugged
a band of Nittany gridders as has ever donned
the B’ue and White.
Let it not be forgotten that while the task
faeing'Engle at the start of the season was stu
pendous in scope, the task facing the individual
players was none the less huge. Each man found
it necessary to adjust all his football knowledge
and skill to a new way of doing things.
“This has been the finest bunch of boys I have
ever worked with.” Engle said recently—and
with justification. Each man labored long and
bard on the practice field and then gave his all
cn the gridiron each Saturday. It has been a
long and grueling season for all concerned, but
not a season without its compensations.
FOR THE SUCCESS which has come to Penn
State this year on the gridi"on, all Penn Staters
owe a vote of thanks to Rip Engle, his assistants,
and the team.
Cut Red Tape
The plan being used for first phase registra
tion this semester certainly has its merits, in
that it gives advisers the necessary time to do
their work and allows students lee-way by elim
inating classes. However,, we would like to sug
gest that uniform prec'dvre be followed to a
greater degree in the future.
Or.H FLAW in the alphabetical pre-registra
tion plan is that it produces difficulty in de
partments where it is necessary for seniors to
pre-register first because of class priorities. Pos
sibly the best solution would be to start pre
registration with seniors and end it with fresh
men, in order to provide for priorities, and then
also to use an alphabetical listing with the four
class groups.
Any procedure which will make the red tape
machinery less painful certainly will be wel
comed by the students.

Snowball Fights
Newfallen snow provides a .picturesque set
ting on the campus and also serves as a ferm
of entertainment as the major ingredient going
into a good snowball battle. Although snow
ball battles are a legitimate means of amuse
ment, we would suggest that care and discretion
be exercised.
A CASE IN POINT in which care was not
exercised resulted in a cut neck for a Penn
State coed. A snowball, apparently thrown in
tentionally at the window behind which she was
sitting, shattered the glass and a sliver cut her
neck. Fortunately, she was .not injured seriously,
but tragedy could have resulted.
Other cases of windows’ being broken by
snowballs have been reported recently, as well
as the story of two waste basketsful of snow
balls being thrown through one window in a
women’s dorm.
Plenty of fun can be had with snowballs
without aiming at windows and risking injury
to innocent bystanders.

nected with his subject. It says,
“It is not the function of a teach

jects. He is expected to train stu
dents to think for themselves.”
Under the policy, teachers agree
to abide by College regulations
and to perform reasonable duties
assigned.
The policy requires a four
month notification of resignation.
A teacher is free to consider oth
