PENNSYLVANIA Weekend Crowd Sets New Mark The 31st annual Homecoming Day produced not only the larg est crowd ever to witness an athletic contest in Central Penn sylvania but also the largest num ber of alumni ever to return to the College at one time in the history of Penn State. Lured largely by Michigan State’s national gridiron power clashing with the Nittany Lions, 30,684 spectators overflowed Bea ver Field in the greatest crowd ever in State College as well as the entire state of Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburgh and Phila delphia. Prior to Saturday’s Michigan State-Penn State clash the largest crowd to attend a game on Bea ver Field was the 24,579 that watched the same teams play to a 14-14. tie in 1948. Ridge Riley, executive secre tary of the Alumni Association, in claiming the largest return by alumni, estimated at least 6000 alumni were.here over the week end. Although only 800 ate at the Alumni Association luncheon Sat urday noon and only 1202 regis tered in Recreation Hall, Riley said those figures did not give a true report since as many as 5,000 tickets for the game were ordered through the mail by alumni. PSCAto Hold Ist Coffee-orum Subjects of national and inter national interest will be the top ics discussed by two Penn State Christian Association groups at their meetings today. Dr. Neil Riemer, associate pro fessor of political science, will lead a discussion, “Who’s Who in the 1952 Presidential Race” at the first iPSCA Coffee-orum of this year.

Donald Snyder will be in charge of the meeting, which is open to all students on campus. Old Grads Enjoy Game, 'Cold 7 to Cheerleaders Among the cheering thousands watching the Penn State —Michi- gan State game in the stands Sat urday were ten former lettermen athletes of Penn State. The ten old-timers were com fortably settled on the shady side of the stadium, section F, Row L. Eight of them took off at the half to stroll the paper-littered path around the .field and talk with other alumni; The two former stars who re mained in their seats during half time were W. R. Motz, class of ’93, and Arthur S. Schoffstall, ’OO. Mr. Motz. was very pleased at being the oldest letterman present, and was “enjoying the game highly.” It was the first game on campus he had seen since his graduation. Mr. Schoffstall is now general manager of Huntingdon, W.Va., Nickel Company. Letterman Alumni View Campus, Life, And Football “Where did all those buildings come from?” was the question bewildered alumni asked this weekend. The'consensus on the game was that we put up a good fight against heavy odds. A 1 Karaska, a .Tau Sigma Phi of ’3l, commented “the good Lord was not on our side.”. H. H. Ehrin as, a Lambda Chi. Alpha of ’23 said the game was . good t “but State has lost the old spirit.” Charles Ziegler, a Delta Tau Del ta. of ’46 thought that the better team won but “State put up a creditable show.” “Enlarging the stadium is the best thing that has happened to State,” was the comment of Mrs. J. C. Neff, class of ’29. She added that she thought the increase in coed enrollment is good for the College. Howard Hench and Rob Rekkoph agreed that more coeds were a good deal for male Penn Staters, but that students seem younger now. C. K. Wingeard, a Sigma Alpha Epsilon of ’23, thought that “stu dents' have a better chance for education now.” Robert Jones,, a Phi Kappa Sigma of ’42 thought the college had changed a lot, “but it’s getting better all the time.” Lawrence Machmer, claps of ’2O, said that “everything is too nice for students.” He added that the college was going to extremes. Karl Thomson, class of ‘ ’49, thought that the college was con structing too many buildings. Joanne Dunlap, a tri Delt of ’5l, said that the whole place seemed quieter although there was still the same general at mosphere. Federal Job Applications Required Now George N. Leetch, director of the College Placement Service, announced-that seniors who want to-be. eligible for jobs with the federal government upon gradu ation in January or June must send in applications now. Applications for junior agricul tural assistant must be in today and for junior management as sistant or junior professional as sistant by Nov. 13. Applications can be picked Up at the College Placement Service, 112 Old Main. There are openings for students in agricultural economics, agron omy, animal husbandry, botany, entomology, forestry, home eco nomics, horticulture, plant path ology, poultry husbandry, soil science, statistics, and zoology as junior agricultural 1 assistants. Sal aries start at $3lOO a year. Students in social science, pub lic or business administration may apply for jobs as junior manage ment assistants at $3lOO to $3825 a year. Appointments for jobs under the Foreign Affairs Intern Program are made on the basis of these applications. Civil service examinations will be given Dec. 8 in State College. Schoffstall was more interested in watching the-half-time procedures than in answering questions. He did remark that the game was “very fine” and added that “Penn State had come a long way since 1900.” / - These two alumni athletes had as much pep and interest in the game as any of the sunburned students on the opposite side of the stadium. The girl cheer-leaders made little or no impression on Mr. Schoffstall. There were too many “other interesting things for him to watch” than cheerleaders. Mr. Motz’s reaction to the coed cheerleaders was also rather dis appointing, but typical of a true sports fan. He frankly admitted that he was too busy watching the teams even to notice the girls. Chest Begins Drive Saturday for $12,000 Penn State’s second annual Campus Chest drive will begin Saturday and run for a two week period, William Klisanin, drive chairman, said yesterday. This year’s goal' will .be $12,000. The Campus Chest is Penn State’s attempt t,o solve the problem of repeated charity drives. It-carries as its motto “Give once, serve all.” By contributing to the drive, students may benefit nine chari ties at one time, Organizations which will re ceive funds from this year’s drive an 3 the percentage of the income they will receive are Penn State Christian Association, 46 percent; World Student Servi.ce Fund, 12 percent; Scholargram program, 8 percent;'Leo Houck Cancer Fund, Women’s Student Government Association Christmas party, March of Dimes, Heart Fund, and Salvation Army, six percent each; and State College Community Fund, one percent. .Operating ex penses will consume three, per cent of the drive’s income. Students will be solicited at their residences, Klisanin said. Personal pledges or cash will be accepted. Those who wish to pledge to the .drive can, have the amount added to their second semester fees. Klisanin said no definite amount would be solicited from each student. Last year each stu dent was asked to give $2 to the drive. • - - - Those in charge of solicitations are John Allison, fraternities; Donald Beal, town men; John Laubach and Joseph Haines, campus men; Joan Yerger and Virginia Opoczenski, campus women; and Patricia Jones, town women.

The concentrated Campus Chest drive proposes to eliminate .these nu merous campaigns by having only one drive each year.
