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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Gruenther himself, only the
day before, had suggested that
the air forces assigned to NATO
should be unified, instead of
standing behind individual fron

least a mutual air warning sys
