PA System: Big Help on Saturdays
Editorials have been written, pep talks have
been given and opinions have been voiced on
school spirit since Penn State's upset win over
Ohio State.
These all had some significance and opened
the hearts of many students, but there is one
adjunct which would increase student spirit one
step further—to a higher, more recognized level.
That is, the installation of a public address sys
tem at Beaver Field.
Last fall, included in the Lion party platform,
was an attempt to work toward getting a loud
speaker to describe football plays at Beaver
Field games. Nothing more was heard of this
good suggestion, but something should be done
soon.
The crowd will cheer after a long run, an off
balance catch, a first down, and a touchdown,
but most ot the time a play ends in a pile-up
and spectators can’t always tell who’s on the
bottom with the ball or who brought the runner
down.
The numbers of each player are listed in the
scorebook. but not everyone buys one, and for
those who do. it’s distracting and often disgust
ing to have to keep looking for a player’s num
ber after every play in order to know who did
what.
Sure, students cheer after a rival player, who
ran about 30 to 40 yards, is brought down by
one of our tackles. But it’s quite obvious that
many more students would really let out with
a yell if a public address system blared. “The
stop was made by .. . or “Smith was brought
down on Penn Stale’s 5-yard line by . . .”
From the small percentage of students polled
on this issue, everyone expressed an opinion in
favor of a PA system, and I'm sure many more

"Residence Hells," or "number please," are
the most common expressions of dormitory
operators. These are fine, but we find that they
are not always so polite.
Although we realize that they handle a great
many calls each day and that such constantly
pressing work can become very trying, we
would suggest that it would not be more diffi
cult for operators to be always polite. It takes
no more time or effort to be polite than it does
to be rude. In fact, it is more efficient to be
polite since people making calls will be more
cooperative.
Other complaints which are commonly heard
against dormitory operators are that they fre
quently ring wrong numbers, or that they do
not ring the required number at all Many stu
dents have complained that they are cut off
while talking on the phone. Perhaps these mis
takes would not be criticized if they were made

students and faculty would have done the same.
One junior said he’d rather listen to the game
at home because half the time he didn’t know
what was going on at the game.
A sophomore girl said that by the time she
finds the number of the player who caught the
pass, the next play is over and she misses it.
One fellow said that he couldn’t afford a pro
gram and no one around him had one, so he
only knew what was going on when the boys
sitting around him knew.
Another senior said he thought a PA system
would make the players feel better because
they’d receive credit when they tackled or
blocked an opponent.
With a PA system more students would be
attracted to watching the game; more students
would get to know our team, and mainly, more
students would cheer because they’d know what
was going on.
The scores of other games throughout the
nation are announced over a PA system because
many of us are interested in knowing them.
But we are even more interested in knowing
what’s happening on Beaver Field and nothing
is being done about it.
A PA system would enable us to recognize and
give credit to the players at the time they do
something that should be recognized.
After we’ve read an account of a game in the
newspaper we can say that a certain player
played an exceptional defensive game, but that
certain player doesn’t hear this, and he'd ap
preciate it more if his feat was expressed in
satisfying cheers when he performed it.
Installation of a PA system has been discussed
for years and it’s time some definite action was
taken toward it.
only infrequently. This, however, does not seem
to be the case. We have had several bad ex
periences with the operators and have' been told
of many more.
The most frequent charge against the oper
ators is that they do not ring numbers when
asked to. We have, upon more than one occasion,
called a student in the dorms several times
within a half hour and received no answer, only
to discover the next day that the person was in
his room the entire time. This has happened
in the middle of a weekday when the phones
are not usually busy. Could it be that operators
are careless? We think they are sometimes, and
more than is necessary.
We hope that in the future the operators will
be more courteous and put a little more effort
into their work so that unnecessary mistakes
will not occur.
Tuesday and I think both political viewpoints
are necessary if the paper is to -live up to its
slogan, “For* a Better Penn State.”

Britain and France have now taken the ball completely
away from the United States and the United Nations in the
Middle East.
From protesting Israel’s invasion of Egypt, Washington
has turned to protesting the actions of her chief allies.
There is a serious split.
There is no reason to believe
that American representations
will be successful
France and Britain, with France
in the lead, have wanted immedi
ate and forceful intervention : at
Suez ever since Egypt’s decree
nationalizing the canal.
The United States held out for
negotiations and for a lime won
its point. War was delayed.
Then Israel invaded Egypt, bol
stered by French arms in quanti
ties which American authorities
believed far exceeded those they
had approved when the United
States refused shipments herself.
The United States and Soviet
Russia, the former having long
attempted neutrality and the lat
ter on the side of the Arabs, cried
“stop,” and appealed to the Unit
ed Nations in the hope of bringing
to bear an overwhelming public
opinion, plus the threat of sanc
tions.
Britain and France also cried
"stop," with a proviso that, if
their wishes were not heeded. -
they would occupy the canal,
zone by force—which was just
what they had been wanting to
do all the time. Later it was
announced that the two coun
tries would move "token" forces
into the zone even if the fight
ing stopped.
There was no immediate indi
cation that the British arid French
had consulted or even notified the
United States. '
The Anglo-French decision im
mediately obviated the effect of
anything the United Nations
might have done.
If the British-French ultimatum
worked, they would have accom
plished the objective toward
which the United States was
heading through established
channels. . The American effort
was to induce Israel to reconsider.
By tagging Israel as the aggres
sor. and reiterating her pledge .to
the victims of aggression,
the United States had faced the
possibility of giving Egypt some
sort of aid in a war. This is a
potentiality dangerous domestic
political issue. What effect, if any
it may have on. the Eisenhower
administration’s fortunes in next
week’s elections cannot be fore
seen.
If Israel did not stop, the
British were in position’ to exer
cise their treaty right to return

to the canal zone in case Egypt
were attacked.
France and Britain were in po
sition to put armed force into the
immediate background of their
negotiations with Egypt over Suez.
The same applied to France's
argument with Egypt over the
latter’s support for the - Algerian
rebels.
The position of Britain and
France, that they are defending
the canal while stopping a pros
pective war, is an extremely dan
gerous one. Egypt’s attitude will
be an extremely important one.
If she resists the French and
British, the whole Middle East
may blow, clear down lo the
Arabian oil wells.
