Seem., ai jf the football team is creating more woi k for student government these da;.' than all the oilier usual rontioversies which crop up. Rip Engle's charges are enjoying surprising success this season and ive are beginning to hear feverish talk around campus. This talk is not only going on around campus but in national football circles. The upshot of all this is that this week’s game with Syracuse has had attached to it con siderations which vary in' importance. Everyone agrees, however, that the game will be one of the more important ones of the year and student interest is building up to astonish ing heights. Of course, the talk includes half-holiday plans. A half-holiday was asked for by one or two student groups way back when the ill-fated Penn attempt was still red hot news. This shows the farsightedness of some students. Perhaps it shows that they had faith in the team all along. Whatever it shows it remains that the students have not had their fill of half-holiday tries. They may try again. However, there are a great number of ob- NSA Needs McCabe The National Student Association committee is without a leader. Lawrence McCabe, senior in political science from Unionlown, was appointed to the position of NSA coordinator. His appointment has yet to be approved by All-University. We feel that the appointment was made wise ly. McCabe should be a good man for the job. We hope that Cabinet will approve the appoint ment. McCabe has worked on the NSA committee since last year. He attended the National Con gress in Chicago this fall. In addition he has at tended several conferences and meetings on international and national affairs. Generally speaking McQabe is qualified for the job through experience and potential. We also believe that he has enough desire to work and interest to make him a success in the posi tion of NSA coordinator. It is extremely important that the NSA co ordinator be well qualified for the job. Accord ing to the NSA organization there are several things which the committee and the coordinator should do. We will mention the important duties of the coordinator according to the NSA pur poses and ideals. Pirst, he must be able to understand and judge Vacation Action Wanted TO THE EDITOR: With the veto of the Penn game half-holiday still fresh in mind we noted with a great deal of interest the fact that the administration has now seen fit to cut the al ready abbreviated Christmas vacation. Whether the move was designed to bolster the Univer sity's current drive to create an atmosphere of scholarship, or whether it was designed to give the University more time to compute Fall se mester averages as the University claims, is •questionable. However one thing is clear—that it was most certainly not conceived with the welfare of the student.'; in mind. Remembering the hulabaloo which the ad ministration created concerning the students’ welfare when it turned down the Penn half holiday because of dangerous traveling con ditions for students leaving for the Thanks giving recess, it now appears that the University has made an astonishingly rapid reversal of policy. -Perhaps those people who were so concerned with the welfare of the students when they turned down the Penn weekend would like to consider these points and then tell the students whether they are still concerned with their wel fare when that situation has reversed itself. 1. Tl;e most flagrant disregard of student wel fare involved in this decision is the matter of traveling. One of the reasons for cancelling the Penn game holiday was that it would necessi tate shortening the Thanksgiving holiday, and that would be hazardous to travel. We cannot imagine anything so hazardous as the traffic situation they have created with the timing of this Christmas vacation. The traffic congestion during the weekend of Dec. 22 will undoubtedly be serious with everyone hurrying to get home for the holidays. What shall the weather be like? ■Classes are scheduled to resume at 1 p.m. Jan. 2. This means that some students must start back on Jan. 1, the day of peak holiday travel.

For one thing" the first shipment of tickets from Syracuse— we suspect il was fairly small—was sold out be fore you could bat an eye.. More tickets were requested. If these are not gone then we’re sure they must be pretty well depleted "by this time. We hear there is little prospect of getting any more tickets. So no mattffl" how much en thusiasm is whipped up over the game most Penn Staters are going to have to let Mickey Bergstein tell them the Archbold Stadium story. If Penn State is to continue on their present upward trail in the football world obviously we are going to need much moral support at Syracuse - Saturday. The Blue Band will not make the trip so someone will have to make some noise. Another consideration we must make is the fact that Syracuse- is doing fairly well this year also. They also have their football aspirations. They will want to sell as many tickets to the home folk as they* possibly can. They are ap parently doing just this. So any half-holiday plans seem to be des tined to burial under “no tickets” problem. the many NSA Issues which come before the committee. Second, he must have an open mind in order to undertsand both sides of issues. It is fre quently the case that controversial issues come up before the committee. Thirdly, the coordinator should have a good working knowledge of the entire activity sys tem, educational system, and administrative sys tem so that he can distribute NSA information most effectively. Through an NSA information service the committee should be able to give ideas and suggestions to various phases of the University. Fourth, the NSA coordinator should be an idea man who can think up new suggestions as well as analyze and criticize them. And fifth, he should work closely with Cabi net so that it can benefit from NSA. As co ordinator, he should not necessarily advocate to Cabinet everything that NSA advocates. He should, with his broader knowledge of the field, be able to advise Cabinet of the pros and cons of different issues. He should act as a go-be tween for Cabinet and NSA. We feel that McCabe will be effective in carry ing out the duties of coordinator. We also feel that he will maximize the benefits Cabinet can receive from NSA. 2. What about the students who depend upon p:e-Ch;istmas employment for paying part of their education? The fact is that the University is completely eliminating any possibility of such employment. With classes ending at noon Satur day Dee. 22, and with the usual system of double cuts and pre-vacation bluebooks in force, stu dents who need and want to work before Christ mas, and this includes a large number of the student body, face the situation of either cutting classes and missing the exams or not earning the money. 3. Since Dec. 22 is a Saturday and most stu dents will not reach their homes until late Saturday night, the only day left in which to do the traditional Christmas shopping is Mon day, Dec. 24. Even a University official would have to admit that Christmas shopping the day before Christmas is no* a very profitable ven ture or a pleasant wav of spending one’s time. Of course, this will put the State College mer chants in a favorable position. It is disheartening that All-University Cabi net, The Daily Collegian, the various student councils, and even worse, the students they represent, sit lethargically by and watch this threat to student welfare. It is time they stopped worrying primarily about student courts and scholarship for a few minutes and consider this infringement on the real “student welfare” be fore it is too late. And ive don’t think they should stop until they have gotten satisfactory and positive re sults. This requires action not glib tongues. We are looking to All-University Cabinet and The Daily Coliegian for this action.’ Much was made of the University’s speedy registration machinery. It seems that in the past such computation of averages was done speedily and efficiently in comparison to the number of enrolled students. Why not now?

On Other Campuses Football Seating Syracuse University has a football seating plan for mar ried students" which the campus newspaper wants to make available to everyone. Upon payment of the price of one ticket and the presentation of the student ticket, a person is given two seats in the student section or somewhere else in the stadium. : The campus newspaper pointed out that under this system stu dents would be able to sit with friends and dates without paying the price of two tickets. Under the present arrangement at Syracuse (and at Penn State) a student is given a free ticket to eaclfhome game which entitles him to sit with other University students..lf he wants to sit with someone else he must buy two tickets. Our present seating plan is a good one and has the cooperation of the student body. Section hop ping, so much in evidence last year, has not been at all notice able under this year’s system. If the proposed Syracuse plan was included in our system it would be an even better one. The Daily Pennsylvanian came up with an idea to relieve the parking problem that is affecting campuses across the nation—build a multi-level garage either above or below the ground. In our case this would be bet ter than constructing parking lots on the fringe of the campus since students and faculty would be able to park closer to center cam pus and their classes. Syracuse, the first school in the East' to start placard cheering, now uses a six-colored placard precision section which follows cheers and accompanies the marching band’s half-time pro gram. As an incentive to’ get vol unteers and improve precision, a trophy is offered at the end of the season to the best- nTale and coed sections. The University of Illinois is go ing one step further with its tele vised programs, making it possi ble for TV viewers to study at home. Courses in elementary Spanish and German and United States history will be telecast in 30-minute sessions over a local station. Student viewers will follow a prepared outline and turn in writ ten assignments. Any high school graduate within range of the sta tion may enroll and receive col lege credit. Enrollment and ex aminations will be handled by mail. Beware of Overwork Students must be careful not lo become addicted to overwork. It’s difficult to say whether this is a problem of any great propor- TUESDAY. OCTOfeER 30. 1956 O' A by evie onsa tion on this campus or not, but Dr. Hugo Biancani, a Frenchman who has been named director of a new organization, The Institute for the Study and Prevention of Overwork, says that overwork is the “disease of our century.” “Overwork is worse than can cer, because by the very nature of things it hits the leaders of our society.” Dr. Biancani says it’s not just too much work that causes the kind of exhaustion he is trying to cure. Also involved are the kind of.w’ork, the individual’s at titude toward it, and the whole environment in which he lives. Moral of this little story is slow down and take it easy—we’re not even halfway through the fall se mester. VA Representative Will Visit Campus A representative of the Vet erans Administration will visit campus tomorrow to assist vet erans in applying for any benefits currently being administered. The representative will be here between 9:45 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. in 6 Old Main. These visits are expected to be continued on the last Wednesday of each month. Veterans may obtain informa tion on such benefits as school ing, job training, medical and den tal care, hospitalization, and dis ability compensation for service incurred disease or injury. Young GOP to Conduct Door-to-Door Campaign The Young Republican Club will meet at 7 tonight at its head quarters on 119 S. Pugh street. They will conduct 'a door-to door literature campaign in State College. Final campaign plans will also be discussed.
