Spring Practice
Should Be Dropped
Apparently frightened over the possibility
of the basketball scandal spreading to football,
and financially hard-pressed by the costs of
big-time football, colleges throughout the na
tion seem about ready to make a move toward
the de-emphasization of the gridiron game.
Early last summer, Penn State took the lead
in the current move toward de-emphasis when
the Athletic Advisory Board proposed 1) that
the colleges abandon spring football practice
and 2) that the rules be altered to outlaw the
platoon system.
Since then—and somewhat to the surprise of
the AA board—both proposals have been sup
ported by an unusually large number of colleges
throughout the nation.
Just this week, Yale, once one of
,the top
football powers in 'the nation and still a high
ranking school athletically, announced its in
tention of dropping spring football practice.
Yale has literally taken the bull by the horns.
On the other hand, Penn State has announced
its opposition - to spring practice, but has not
taken any action on it other than to make , its
proposals to the National Collegiate Athletic
Association and the Eastern College Athletic
Association. The position of the board has been
that Penn State would be placed at a disadvan
tage were it to drop spring practice and' its
opponents would not.
This, of course, is taking the practical point
of view. We like to suppose, however,
,that the
AA board has taken its action not for practical
reasons alone; that the AA board's action was
also based on the belief that . Penn State and its
athletes are being hurt by the continuance of
_spring practice.
Spring practice is imposing a burden on both
the College and the athlete. The College has to
meet the additional costs of spring practice,
while the athlete must pat in almost two addi
tional months of football practice. Anyone who
has ever played football knows the tremendous
burden placed on the academic .life of the
player. This burden could be lightened by
eliminating the spring practice session.
If spring practice is hurting Penn State
and its athletes, then this phase of big-time
football should be abandoned regardless of
the action taken by other , colleges.

Build Polio Fund
By Campus Chest
Just one of the nine* organizations which,
benefits. from. the Campus Chest is the March
of Dimes. When you contribute to the Chest,
six 'per cent is turned over to the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis to help that
organization in , its fight against polio the
crippler and killer.
There were 33,351 polio cases in the United
States last year and 42,366 the year before.
There are still some 45,000 people in need of „
treatment from the ravages left by polio.
But polio treatment is expensive. It cost the
March of Dimes $7OOO to put 13-year-old Jimmy
Lynch of St. Louis back on his feet. More than
$20,000 has been spent to try to - get Mrs. Phil,
Boden of Horse Cave, Kentucky, out of the iron
lung she has been in, for more than five years.
One hundred and fifty dimes pay for one day
of physical therapy. Fifteen thousand dimes
can buy an iron lung, while 150,000 Wines buy
an electron microscope.
Polio isn't particular as to' its victims. If it
hasn't struck somebody you know, it could and
without warning. But you can be prepared for
this killer—by contributing to the Campus
Chest now.

FUNDAMENTAL„" ISSUES
Korean Truce
Poses Problems
What is the UN looking for in the Korean truce? It cannot
be (security from future attack, because that is impossible in these
days of blitz warfare and \ sudden aggression. It cannot be the pre
vention of World War 111 because that too is impossible to secure
absolutely. It cannot be'territory, because the UN charter by impli
cation forbids land-grabbing.
The question of peace or war
in Korea needs to be answered
soon. Quibbling over certain
items on the truce agenda is
producing:
1. Some soldiers who are con
fused.
2. Some soldiers who are dis
gusted.
3. Some soldiers who are
dead.
• • After months of discussion, the
buffer zone question finally was
admitted to the conference. More
time elapsed during which there
were walkouts and the inevitable
return by the Chinese and North
Korean negotiators. To day it
seems the buffer questionls well
on its way to being settled.
How much or how well the UN
negotiators can explain why so
much time was spent on so ques
tionable an item as a buffer zone
hasn't been called for. Yet, his
tory shows buffer areas to be

worthless as a means of halting
aggression.
To sift the contradictory facts
both sides issue on the truce
talks 16 get something concrete
becomes almost futile. There are
two versions, two conflicting
communiques, two reports load
ed with name-calling and dis
belief of the other side's inten
tions to call a truce. This creates
the confused, disgusted, an d
dead soldier.
While is true that the agenda
being used to.make some headway
in.the Korean truce talks sounds
good, there is one item that sug
gests the impossible. This item
is the guarantee that both sides
will not :bring up reinforcements
during armistice talks. It further
asks for the policing of both areas
to see that no reinforcements are
made. This part of the agenda
alone can cause several more
