Let's Have the Queen Meet the Alums There will be no ceremony before or at half time of the Penn State-Navy game tomorrow to present this year's homecoming queen to the football audience. -. According to Hummel Fishburn, head of the department of music education, no program in volving the homecoming queen or her attend ants, which he believed would be worthy of the homecoming audience, could be devised. Fishburn, who along with Blue Band direc tor James Dunlop plans the routines used by the Blue Band, pointed out that there is no tradition at the University suggesting that the homecoming queen should be presented at a football game. The homecoming queen whose contest is sponsored by Thespians, is traditionally pre sented at the Thespian Show, just as the junior prom queen is traditionally presented at the junior prom. It has not been traditional at Penn State to present the homecoming queen at a football game, even though this is the case at many other schools. Fishburn said the Thespian committee which gave him a plan for presenting the queen dur ing the halftime program also suggested a theme around which a routine might be built. However, he said he could not evolve a routine within the framework of the suggestion which Show 'Em How to Yell The Nittany Lions retur'n home to Beaver Field tomorrow. It will be their first appear artre there for three long weeks, after playing at West Point and Richmond. Their following at West Point was large, but had not the spirit to match its size. Their fol lowing at Richmond was small, but enormous in spirit. This, perhaps, can be rather simply explained. At West Point they lost. At Rich mond they won. But tomorrow at Beaver Field, win or lose, their support should be slightly on the tre mendous side, for several good reasons. They will be playing one of the East's top grid pow ers, and they will be playing before a tra ditionally enthusiastic homecoming crowd. That the alums will display great spirit is an indisputable fact. That the spirit of the stu dents will match this is a fact which remains to be seen. But it certainly should match it. The amount of noise drawn from the number of Penn State students present at Richmond was truly amazing. Spirit was at an unprece dented peak. And it should be carried over to the homecoming game. Competition between student, alumni, and Navy rooters will be keen tomorrow. It would be rather embarrassing if the student section, easily the largest organized group, should be outdone. We know we have a team of which we can be proud. After tomorrow, everyone else around should also be aware of the fact, Let's show 'em! —AI Klimcke Courtesy of the Road The State College area will be flooded with motorists this weekend. Parking spaces will be a premium in town and on campus, especially on Saturday, when perhaps the largest crowd in history will fill Beaver Field for the Homecoming game. Therefore, it would be courteous if students, particularly fraternity men and those living downtown, would make arrangements for off street parking spots and walk to the game so the guests and alumni may drive without dif ficulty.

PENNSYLVANIA he felt would please the homecoming audience. In the past, he said, the queen has not often been presented at a football game. However, she was two years ago. Fishburn said this fact made it even - more difficult to devise an origi nal routine which would not repeat the one used then. He said it would be undesirable to repeat that routine so soon, since the makeup of the homecoming audience does not vary much from year to year. Fishburn said the routine which the Blue Band will use tomorrow was suggested by the Alumni Association, which requested a centen nial theme. This too, he said, made it difficult to fit in the queen. In the past, he said the Blue Band and he have been criticized severely for allowing women to take part in the halftime programs. He said he could give no reason for such criti cism. However, the presenting of the homecoming queen at a football game would certainly not violate any Penn State tradition, and might add a little color to the afternoon. For this reason the plan should be kept in mind for future ceremonies, planning for which should be begun sufficiently prior to the week end to allow time to prepare a suitable program. —AI Klimcke Safety Valve ... Hits Identification Plan TO THE EDITOR: A hint to the Athletic As sociation: along with the existing requirements, why not compel the students to display a birth certificate, a notarized document stating where they live in Pennsylvania, a bursar's receipt, and an I LIKE IKE button before allowing them to enter Beaver Field. This should eliminate most of the student body. Then the Athletic Association could sell these seats to outsiders and realize a tremendous profit for the Univer sity. First it was assigned seating, now it's se curity checks. No wonder school spirit is dying at Beaver Field. • —Alastair Rutherford EDITOR'S ROTE: The purpose of the identi fication requirements is to eliminate those who have bought their tickets from student "scalpers." This will protect students from having outsiders occupy their seats. Spelling Lesson for Cats TO THE EDITOR: In the Wednesday issue of The Daily Collegian in an article about the history of the lion symbol at Penn State, it was stated that the animal known as the "mountain lion" which once roamed the hills of Centre County was "Felix Cougar." As an amateur naturalist this rankled me somewhat, since the correct latin name for this particular cat is "Felis cougar." The genus name is latin for "cat," and the species name "cougar" is American Irldian in origin, and is always written with a small letter, never capitalized Let's Go State TO THE EDITOR: This weekend thousands of graduates of our University will be pouring into town to renew old acquaintances and watch our football team on Beaver Field. We hope to show these old timers that Penn State spirit is higher than ever. Tonight we are having a bonfire pep rally behind the Nittany Dorms. It should be the big gest and best rally in one hundred years. We'll see you at 8 tonight. —The Cheerleading Squad University Hospital Diane Bachrach, Stephen Behman, Camelia Blount, Ronald Brasher, George Bryan, George Christianson, Ches terfield Cotton, Richard DeLuca, James Donahue, William Hansen, Donald Green, Thomas Hollenbach, Gene Jalnd!, Robert McCash, Charles Muse, Joan Schaffer, Richard Sey ler.

Brazilian Little Man on Cam "Watch out for that wise•guy trombone player when you're twirling over on th' right flank." E==r= Air Force Propo s al Good—Unrealistic By J. M. ROBERTS JR. Associated Press News Analyst Field Marshal Montgomery, suggesting merger of the Free World's air forces under one command, is in the position of being unrealistic while stil Air forces are so pertinent render of direct control woul sovereignty and might endan This applies not only to tac tical air power which may be strictly defensive, to which Montgomery was not referring, but to strategic forces which were his principal considera tion. For one of the chief uses of strategic force is to slow down and interfere with attacks which the defensive forces must stop. Even the commanding nation, which Montgomery recognized should be the United States be cause of her superior strategic air strength, would be handicapped on defense by its obligations to its Allies. If attacked, alone, such a nation would have to consider such obligations along with the need for immediate retaliation, whereas the United States is now prepared, on her own, with con stantly alerted forces, to launch strategic—that means atomic—at tacks without considering even momentarily an y thin g except stopping the attacker. This point can be emphasised by reference to the different situations affecting American strategic bombers located in England and those located at home. Those located at home could move, would move, im mediately. As for those in Bri tain, a decision would have to be made whether their use would be worth the attack on that country w h ic h it would bring on. Such decisions would involve other governments as well as any joint military com mand such as the United States now heads in NATO. The same considerations and the same unreality apply to Montgomery's suggestion for com plete unification of air, naval and land farces of the Free World alliance. Unified forces, even a unified strategic air force, undoubtedly would be more powerful and a greater deterrent to war than what is available now. But no na tion has been able to work it out even for its own forces. The United States tried, but had to compromise with a joint super structure of civilian control through a joint chiefs of staff organization, without actual mer- FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14. 1955 being right. to a nation's. defense that sur e d seriously undercut national ger security. ger of the services through offi cers trained; as Montgomery sug gests, for joint command. These 'are practical draw backs, not criticism of Mont gomery for the suggestions. He was obviously speaking of something that his NATO su perior, General Gruenther, and the British government, for which he works. consider an ideal. else, he would not have spoken. Gruenther himself, only the day before, had suggested that the air forces assigned to NATO should be unified, instead of standing behind individual fron tiers awaiting a call. Defense Sec retary Charles E. Wilson said, at least a mutual air warning sys tem should be developed. Dairy Team Fourth In Intercollegiate Judging Contest The Penn. State dairy judging team finished fourth in a field of 16 teams at the International Inter-collegiate Dairy Cattle Judging Contest in Chicago this week.
