Penn State Will Adhere
To NCAA Rules—McCoy
Penn State will adhere closely to intercollegiate rules designed
to make football a game carried on for the benefit of the player,
according to Erijest B. McCoy, dean of the School of Physical Edu
cation and Athletics.
Speaking before a meeting of the College chapter of the Ameri-
Association of University Professors, McCoy praised the recent
actions of the National College
Athletic Association. eliminating
“two platoon” football and regu
lating television of games.
Dean McCoy sees “no reason
why this can’t be the finest
School of Physical Education in
the country.” “We will not toler
ate a reputation that we are the
dumping ground,” he said. “Our
standards will be held to the top.
We feel that all of our students
should have. a broad education.
We hope to be able to prepare
better teachers and attract to our
school some of the best students.”
Win Urge 'Out of Bounds'
After reviewing policies of re
cruiting players, finding secure
jobs for them, and player scholar-1
ship standards that have devel
oped in some colleges since the
war, the dean said:
“The urge to win has gotten
out of bounds as high up as presi
dents, alumni, fictitious alumni,
and newspapers. The tragedy,
gentlemen, is that we have for
gotten the kid who is the pawn
of all this.”
“I hope the tide has turned,”
McCoy went. on, “and that we
may again in a very short time
apply sanity. If administrations
don’t get within the rules, there
won’t be an intercollegiate pro
gram.”
Pollock Men
Dissatisfied
With Meals
...Continued student dissatisfac
tion with dining hall service in
the Nittany-Follock area was dis
cussed at a meeting of the Pol-i
lock Council Tuesday night.
It was cited that on last Thurs
day a soup-sandwich combination
was served. This was in direct
contradiction to a promise by
Bruce Robinson, food supervisor
for Nittany dining hall, that' he
would try to eliminate such a
combination on Mondays and
Thursdays. It was noted that he
said he would recommend to the
menu committee that this com
bination be dropped on these days
due to the many Monday and
Thursday 11 o’clock classes. At
noon on these days there is a
large influx of students into the
dining hall. When soup and sand
wiches are served, the line moves
slower than usual.
Immediate action was impos
sible because menus are made out
four weeks in advance, it was
pointed out. 1
. Food complaint forms were giv
en to Pollock dormitory presi
dents. These forms may be ob
tained by those wishing to file a
food complaint or suggestion. It
was pointed out that by filing
suggestions better menus could
be planned and fitted according
to student wishes.

ture. Sections will be held at

or Inn, will be guest speaker at

ditions at the resorts.

inar has been held here. No other
college offers a similar plan.

ald B. M. Stein, chairman, said

tant dean of the School of Home

Merinos, and 30 Shropshires will

Visualize Empty Stadiums
In illustrating the threat of
television, Dean McCoy drew a
parallel for his audience of pro
fessors. He asked them to visualize
the day when they prepare to
meet a class, but “no student
opens the doors of the classroom,
and the professor is forced to con
duct the session through a micro
phone.
“You may visualize that pos
sibility,” he-said, “just as we vis
ualize empty stadiums to support
an expensive program.”
Before McCoy spoke, the chap
ter elected Nicholas M. Brentin,
associate professor of romance
languages, chapter treasurer.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA '
Although many feel the appear
ance of the first robin is a sure
sign of . spring, the feathered fel
low may have been around all
winter.
Accordiig to Merrill Wood, asso
ciate professor of zoology, bird
watchers have seen robins in Cen
tre County nearly every week this
winter. i-.
Although seldom seen in colder
months, a few robins winter in
the northern states. On warm days
in late winter the birds’ noise
and activity deceive many people
into thinking they have seen a
true sign Of spring.
A singing bird is the best sign
of spring. Male robins sing only
on their breeding grounds, and
these singing birds are the ones
who will stay in the same vicinity
to build tlteir nests and rear then
young;
