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. Owen E. Landon Business Mgr. Marv Krasnansky THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA 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. Gazette....

It says, “It is not the function of a teach er in a democracy to indoctrinate his students with ready-made conclusions on controversial sub 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 er positions while working at the College. He may ask his superiors to waive or reduce the four-month requirement. - -TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1950 By Bibler lorisminded scien rrow big an' tall!" with light snow, thick dust, a bit terly cold wind piercing . heavy layers of clothing, numb hands and faces.
