Pitt Conduct
Praised by
Kenworthy
Student behavior in Pittsburgh
the weekend of the Penn State-
University of Pittsburgh game was
lauded yesterday by Whiner E.
Kenworthy, director of student
affairs.
Kenworthy said there have
been no unfavorable reports from
Pittsburgh businesses, city offi
cials, or individuals concerning
the conduct of the students. The
University officials are pleased
nothing happened to harm the
reputation of the institution, he
said.
It is time for compliments, he
explained, because sufficient time
has elapsed to assume nothing
happened of serious enough na
ture to bring to the attention of
the University. All officials of the
University appreciate the help of
everyone who contributed in mak
ing the weekend a credit to the
institution and to the fine per
formance of the football team,
he added.
He pointed out, however, that
not just the administration should
be proud of the conduct. The vic
tory, he said, can be enjoyed by
students and alumni.
The reason conduct was better
in Pittsburgh than Philadelphia,
Kenworthy said, was because
everyone realized the school’s
reputation was hurt the weekend
of the Penn State-Penn game. As
a result, he said, those concerned
discovered they were hurting none
but themselves.
As an outcome of the Philadel
phia weekend, University officials
received many complaints on con
duct. Six cases are still pending
action by University judicial
agencies.

Steidel's Letter
Urges Change
In Town Name
Edward Steidel, dean emeritus
of the Mineral Industries school,
urged yesterday that the name
of the borough be changed to
avoid confusion, in a letter to the
editor of the Centre.Daily Times.
Steidel suggested that the. bor
ough be incorporated with the
nearby community of Lemorit,
and be called Lemont. The name
of Mont Nittany was suggested
as a second choice. “Now every
time we step outside of town,”
Steidel wrote, “someone asks how
you can have a university in a
town called State College.”
Steidel urged the name be
changed before the' University’s
100th anniversary in 1955.
A poll conducted in October by
the Times indicated that most res
idents were not in favor of chang
ing the borough name.
Over 58 per cent of borough
residents quizzed were against
changing the name of State Col
lege. Slightly more than 28 per
cent were in favor of a change.
Steidel’s letter refuted. the ar
gument offered:at that time that
the name go "unchanged because
of sentimental reasons.
“I, too, am a stickler for tradi
tion,” he wrote, “but not at the
expense of necessary progress.”

will not use blustering and domineering meth

deter a Russian atomic attack.
Asserting he spqke with the knowledge and
support of President Dwight D. Eisenhower
Dulles took the position that arrogant attempts
at coercion would weaken the free world in the
face of the Soviet danger.
It was the closest the Eisenhower administra

with McCarthy. In a speech last Tuesday, the
Wisconsin Republican senator accused the Ei
senhower administration of batting zero in some
respects, and criticized some foreign policies as
too soft. . -

In Scheduling
By ROGER BEIDLER
Musical programs were pre
ferred by the majority of 525
students interviewed in a re
cent survey conducted by ra
dio station WDFM. The poll
was taken to find programs
that appealed most to student lis
teners.
The survey was conducted four
weeks ago by members of the
station’s staff. It was taken from
a cross section of independent
and fraternity men and women,
of students enrolled in various
curriculums and students living
on and off campus. Fifty-three
per cent of those interviewed were
men while the remaining 47 per
cent were coeds.

piled by Charles Folkers, station
business manager, revealed that
music was the most popular type
of preferred program with 70 per
cent of the students interviewed.

sports, news, forums, etc., ran a
distant second to music, polling
19 per cent of the votes while
drama was desired most by II
per cent.

vote of 43 per cent, proved the
favorite class of music with the
students while classical presenta
tions were favored by 22 per cent.

in line with 14 per cent prefering
them and the semi-classics fol
