Saylor; associate professor of economics. Saylor computes foot ball ratings for a hobby. The former U.S. Coast Guards man, who perfected his system while serving in the South Pa cific during World War 11, has been computing high school rat ings in Pennsylvania and New Jersey for years. This is his first published effort in the college field. Prof. R. B. Saylor Says State best in East "I've tested my college ratings for two years," Saylor says, "and now am satisfied the results are sound." Saylor nominated Georgia Tech for the top spot in America's 1952 gridiron sweepstakes. He credited ' the Engineers with the tougher schedule as he rated them over unbeaten Michigan State in his national ratings. Trailing Georgia Tech and Michigan State in the standings are UCLA, Notre Dame, Okla homa, and Southern California in that order. Penn State is rated 13th in the nation.

Bea'er avenue from Pugh street to Atherton street, effective Jan. 14, accord ing to a recent decision of State College Borough Council.

Students Good-Natured Remodeling Of Library Has Started Most students• ambling into the Pattee Library yesterday paused before the door leading to the open shelf reserve room and the newspaper file room when they noticed the corridor had vanished. The corridor walls separating the two rooms we r e knocked down during the Christmas va cation as the first step toward remodeling that part of the first floor, according to Ralph W. Mc- Comb, head , librarian. However, the workmen were unable to fin ish in time, and the large two-in one room is now open only tem porarily for the convenience of students during exams.

The room will serve as an anteroom for two large reading rooms when the new $1,400,000 wing is opened in the fall. Mc- Comb hopes that later the room will be further converted to a "browsing room," an informal, recreational reading room.
