WD Dating Code
Working Smoothly
Although there hasn't been what could be
considered a normal weekend since the West
Dormitory code has been in effect, the code
appears to be working smoothly. The code was
approved Nov. 11 and, since it applies only to
weekends, went into effect Nov. 14, the time
of the junior class weekend which could hardly
be called normal.
According to Dean of Men Frank J. Simes,
there have been no complaints about the sys
tem.
When the Senate committee on student affairs
gave its approval of extended dating areas in
s-the West Dorms, the committee exhibited some
confidence in the West Dorm council executive
committee and the residents of the West Dorms
to govern themselves to a greater extent than
was permitted before.
No one will know how appropriate this
confidence is until the code has been in effect
for a period of time extending over more
than a week, but the students have had at
least some opportunity to demonstrate their
'ability to govern themselves.
The independent students of the West Dorm
area and other areas using West Dorm facilities
now have an opportunity to demonstrate their
ability to engage in responsible student govern
_meat.
`Beat Pitt Week'
Not Entire Loss
Hampered as it was by rainy weather through
out, "Beat Pitt Week" was not as successful
as it might, and should, have been. The gigantic
pep rally and bonfire which could really have
put the week "over the top" more or less fiz
zled out because of the relentless rain.
But because the week met with only par
tial success this year is no reason to put it
down as an entire loss. The week should be
made an annual affair and the Hat Societies
Council should begin planning events for it
as soon as school starts.
This year, more or less on the spur of the
moment, several good ideas were suggested. A
lack of time stopped some of them before they
could even be thoroughly looked into. Several
of the ideas were carried out, however.
"Beat Pitt" signs appeared. on practically.
every store window downtown, and the great
majority of them were left up by the coopera
tive merchants. "Beat Pitt" tags were sponsored
by a local merchant. "Blue and White Day"
met with some success.
The bonfire was lit, but the continuous
rain spoiled all chances for the huge pep
rally originally planned. The beating drum,
planned to keep the idea of the pep rally
before the students, did not appear because
the rain would have ruined it, and the Blue
Band, which was to take part in the rally,
cancelled its appearance. The brave 500 who
ventured, forth were enthusiastic, but couldn't
provide the noise and color that the antici
pated thousands could have displayed.
"Beat Pitt Week" has made a weak, but
valiant, beginning. Don't let the idea. die out
without another chance to prove its, worth.
Choir Rehearsals
Choirs have to practice on Sunday mornings
to get rid of that early morning frog that may
lodge in the throat from the night before. But
do they have to practice up until the last minute
before the Chapel service begins? We have an
excellent choir, but there should be a more
church-like atmosphere when Chapel goers ar
rive at Chapel on Sunday. It becomes rather
tiresome to hear a song sung time and time
again before service, and then to hear it sung
a few minutes later as part of the regular
Chapel program.
One suggestion, and there are probably many,
is to have the practice earlier in the morning,
immediately after Catholic Mass is o ve r at
10 a.m., and then not to open the doors until
the choir is off the stage.

Coal Scuttle Trophy
Promotes Rivalry
This year's Pitt-Penn State game will initiate
a new tradition at Penn State. A rotating trophy
in the form of a coal scuttle will be presented ,
each year to the winner of the classic battle
between the football teams of the two schools.
The trophy, set up for the first time this
year, will be jointly sponsored by the Inter
fraternity Councils of Pitt and Penn State.
Acting for the entire student body of each
school, both IFC's hope to promote the spirit
of cooperation with a symbol showing the
keen rivalry which exists between the two
schools.
This new custom will inaugurate a tradition
similar to the one existing between the Uni
versities of Michigan and Minnesota. The win
ner of their annual game is presented with foot
ball's famed "Little Brown Jug."
The scuttle, similar to the coal buckets found
in front of fire places, will be awarded annually
by the IFC's in the winning school. It will be
on display for the entire year at the winning
school. In the event of a State win, the bucket
will probably reside in a trophy case in Recre
ation Hall. A coal bucket was chosen to sym
bolize the soft coal school Pitt, and the hard
coal school, Penn State.
Small plaques listing the winner, the year.
and the score of the game will be added each
year. The bucket and its tradition will be in
augurated at a pre-Pitt game 'ceremony with
the presidents of both councils and the athletic
directors of the two schools.
The rivalry between the two schools dates
. back 52 years. It has always been character
ized by keen competition of the highest cali
ber. Let's hope the coal scuffle will come to
stand for clean rivalry and one more reason
for beating the University of Pittsbuigh.

Penn State Beauties
TO THE EDITOR: We, the men from Penn
sylvania, of the Ist Platoon, Heavy Mortar
Company, know that centered on the campus
of the Nittany Lions are the beauties of the
collegiate world. Our brothers-in-arms. from
LSU (Louisiana State University) seem to doubt
our word.
Having been a student at Penn State before
coming to the aid of our country,. I have found
it necessary to defend the honor of our campus
and beauties by wagering next month's pay
that we not only have the most beautiful wo
men, but also have more of them than LSU.
A letter is on its way to LSU to defend
their honor. - In a few short weeks, many plea-'
sant hours will be spent pouring over the
beauty of the two campuses. The end result
will be a MISS FIRST PLATOON. After
nearly two consecutive months of being on
the line, it will; be a new inspiration to know
that each fire mission will be for the most
beautiful girl in the world and for all of the
women from Penn State and LSU that haven't
forgotten us over here.
We ask you, as editor of the Collegian, to
publish this letter and help us to defend the
honor and the most beautiful women of our
Penn State.

Interpreting the News
Dulles Could Help
Foreign Policy
Now that the appointment of JOhn Foster D'ulles as secretary of
state has been formally announced, he may be able to do something
about the twilight sleep into which American foreign relations have
fallen since mid summer.
It is a favorable coincidence that it comes while large numbers of
top level foreign diplomats, among whom Dulles is already gen
erally acquainted, are in New
York, his home town, for the UN
General Assembly.
Attitude Well Known
Although Dulles will not be ad
vising or making any sort of com
mitments, his relationship with
these men will enable him to ac
quaint them thoroughly with his
and the incoming President's ideas
about affairs in general, and so
help them know where they stand.
Dulles already has talked with
Foreign Secretaries Eden of Brit
ain and Schuman of France, and
it would seem natural that he
should want a number of others
to take home with them at Christ
mas advance word of the new ad
ministration's plans for approach
ing mutual problems
The Eisenhower-Dulles attitude
on 'most foreign problems is, of
course, fairly well known in gen
eral. But diplomats like to operate
on information direct from the
feedbox. The foreigners have be
come fairly familiar - with the wide
tolerances in America when it
comes to fitting campaign state
ments into post election practice.
. Must Back Eisenhower
Dulles will be operating• during
this period, too, in the knowledge
that America's allies received the
recent election returns with con
siderable reserve and some fear.
He will be wanting to let them

Hey, Coach!!
By J. M. ROBERTS JR.
Associated Press News Analyst
know as soon as possible that all
the shadows are not real ogres.
He definitely faces the pros
pect, however, not only now but
continuously, of making the Eisen
hower insistence on greater econ
omy in foreign aid, and his own
emphasis on a more equal division
of ' emphasis between Europe and
Asia, understandable as well as
workable. They may quite pos
sibly find themselves, in these
matters, in the same fix that
Franklin Roosevelt found himself
in after his first campaign prom
ises to balance the budget, and his
later inference that we would not
become involved in foreign wars.
. Dulles is a man who perhaps is
more respected than liked in in
ternational circles. For one thing,
he frequently puts his concept of
what is right ahead of the practi
cality and expediency with• which
diplomats are more familiar. The
British still feel that they were
more or less "evangelized" out of
position on important'points of
the Japanese Peace Treaty which
Dulles piloted over a tortuous
path 'to ratification. "Admire and
beware" is now their attitude
toward his persuasiveness.
'Come . to think of it, that pretty
well describes the impression
which most countries desire their
foreign ministers to leave abroad.
