On Boxing Prospects TO THE EDITOR: In (George Bairey’s editorial in Friday’s Collegian), “Intercollegiate Boxing Is on Its Last Legs,”'he advocates that boxing is a dead sport and that the time has come to take drastic measures. He offered two possible solutions: , 1. Drop it, since we do not profit financially from it. 2. Produce a winning team by changing the coaching staff or the material. The. main objective of any collegiate sport is not to profit financially from the gate receipts, but to teach leadership and sportsmanship to the - individual ... . , Mr. Bairey’s second answer is completely ab surd. In the record books, we have only seven wins in the last five seasons. But . . . m that time we have produced two national champions, five national runners-up, nine eastern cham pions, and seven eastern runners-up. Three oi those years we have had the outstanding boxer of the tournament. . . , In five seasons (Eddie) Sulkowski has slowly" been acquiring new material . . . The team this year was composed largely of in experienced sophomores. Each man fought sev eral national and eastern champions. Inexperi enced Don Demay, a sophomore, faced two eastern champs and one national champ this year. Frank Breidor, another sophomore, lost a close decision in the nationals to Gordon Glad son, three-time national champ... . Larry Form cola, with one fight under his belt, lost a split decision to Harry Harris, four-time Pacific Coast intercollegiate champion. Joe Humphreys, who came out for boxing one week before the nationals, lost to Bob Meath of Wisconsin. Meath was the eventual champion and voted the out standing boxer of the tournament. ' In the class of 1957. Sulkowski has coming (a number of outstanding prospects). . . . This year State's varsity fought Syracuse (Eastern Collegiate champions for six years) to a 4-4 draw. Earlier in the day. State's freshmen defeated the Syracuse freshmen. 4Vz to 3 /4. This showing proves that Penn State is about to reap in the future the fistic laurels for which the University and the coaching staff have so patiently and skillfully prepared. —Chuck Taggart Gazette. •.

Business Mgr. TO THE EDITOR: In the campus-wide contro versy over the merits of Lion's Paw, one thing is rather ironic. The old Paw for a long time prior' to the last election had groomed its can didate for All-University President. But some thing went wrong this year, and its personal selection did not get the nomination. At that time. Lion's Paw literally "dragged through the gutter" and sought to beat the winning candi date in every conceivable manner. When this failed, State Party was contacted by a representative of Lion’s Paw and in a mid night meeting was pressured to knife in the back the State Party’s nominee for All-Univer sity President by substituting the “more popular one.” This failed when our candidate refused to buckle under the nightly pressure he was sub jected to. He did not resign, and the “Clean-up Campus Politics” meeting (arranged for by Lion’s Paw and its stooges to nominate the groomed candidate and smear Liah Party’s choice while he and others were out of town) collapsed. Today, however, the very man whom Lion’s Paw tried so hard to beat is a member of this “esteemed and honorable” organization. Why did the Paw want him? Obviously to influence the vast amount of political appointments made by the All-University President, without which Lion’s Paw has no power. They didn’t want the man, but they had to tap the office. It is indeed ironic to see that no matter which party wins the election, it is really only Lion's Paw that wins. The students never have a chance, only they don't know it. —John K. Lyon Vice-Clique Chairman State Party On Campus Patrol TO THE EDITOR: . . . One of the areas where great improvement is needed is the problem of the Campus Patrol. Since these “champions of the right” are paid by student funds, I . . . think we are receiving a very poor return for our money. In . . . two years . . I have observed nothing but gross incompetance and actual ig norance on the part of the campus “cops.” As a driver of a. car on campus, I have seen them cause more traffic jams than they have helped alleviate; anyone who has attended a big dance at Rec Hall will remember with a shud der the handling of traffic before and after the dance. And now lo add insult to injury, we read in the Daily Collegian (May 21) where the blunder ing campus cops will be responsible for enforc ing a rule to stop "lovemaking" on campus, and they are, as usual, doing a wonderful job of it. A person now only has to drive into any parking lot on campus, and before he even has a chance to turn off his engine, he finds a flashlight beamed at himself and his date with ... a leer ing campus cop on the other end. After the flashlight, a verbal lecture ensues which makes us wonder how the lecturer ever passed third grade. Surely this whole situation is a blot on Penn State no matter how you view it. Certainly some action must be possible to eliminate most of the present patrol and replace them with men of at least average mentality, and common sense. *' Editorials represent the viewpoint of the writers, not necessarily the policy of the paper.

Opposition demands have ranged from call ing for complete dissolving of it to merely reorganizing and explain ing it to the public. But Lion’s Paw does not need verbal attacks and junior espion age opponents. What it needs is a little maternal guidance and psy chological study. Every human has three common drives, usually over-emphasized during the college career because in these four years the drives are for the first time free from par ental and hometown supervision. The first of these desires is rec ognition. Ordinarily, being elected president of something or other should be a grand ' tion. But who hasn’t experienc ed that feeling of greediness where a high honor is nothing but a stepping stone to a higher honor? And the more honors one re ceives, the more one feels himself capable of dictat- ing, or advocat ing what further honors he is en- titled to. Such a process could go on indefinitely and it is fortunate that Lion’s Paw is the highest “honor” students can accomplish here. Security is the second drive prevailing in most of us. Wo men feel secure when they are in their homes, men feel secure when their cars are filled with'- gasoline and their wives and children are safely installed be neath their roof. But security goes farther than that. We all need to know that we are safe in our friendships, that our associates respect us and look up to us, that our opinions are val ued and sought after. This phase of security is espe cially needed in college. It is here that we are testing our own opin ions and faiths and often our only testing control is the faith en dowed in us by our classmates. If that faith is slow in coming, then for our own self respect, we must either force it or invent it. Unfortunately, authority has be come a symbol of security to Lion’s Paw. Why the members feel they should be invested with ultimate student authority prob ably goes back a long way into each of their childhoods. Maybe mom slapped one of the little fel low’s hands one day for talking back to dad and the ..whole inci- dent resulted in an obscession for authority and prestige. Maybe the little fellow silently vowed that someday he’d go to Penn- State and join Lion’s Paw and wear the keystone and sit in homage .-on Old Main’s spire. , _ .. The third dominant. drive in most of us is a desire, and often an obscession, for new adven ture. Presidencies become ,old stijff and chairmanships become tasks for the peons after three years of campus leadership,'and all that is left for the aspiring leader is a leap out of "all this" into the exclusive association that sits in common bond.- of advisory council and the. "ideas" behind the whole works. Again I say it's fortunate that there is no place after Lion's Paw that the extremely ambitious young gentleman can leap io.; ; And thus students shouldn’t'take Lion’s Paw too seriously. The members take themselves serious ly enough to do for all of us. We “outsiders” should stop wasting so much time screaming “reform” at the members, and try on them perhaps a little mental therapy, a kind word every here and there, maybe a little personal and indi vidual encouragement so that the little fellows won’t feel so com pelled to prove to us how all-wise and capable they are. Ytzzj McClain And if this should fail . . . we still have our psych clinic. One last word. Ever notice the most effective treatment a mother can use on her shrieking child when he stands pounding the bars of" his playpen? She ignores him. She knows he’ll run out of breath eventually. So be it. Council Shingles Student council presidents may pick up shingles for members of their councils tomorrow at the Student Union desk in Old Main.
