Kasperian Shines
As Lions Top Vii &M
Penn State halfback Dave Kasperian rejoined his starting
team cohorts against William & Mary for the first time in thei
fourth quarter_ Saturday with the Lions trailing, 13-7. Whenj
the Anal:gun sounded, Penn State won, 21-13; and Kasperian
was credited with igniting the spark that placed the Nittanies
in the winners' circle.
Running with the determina
tion of a stampeding bull, the 25-
year-old ex-serviceman led the
Lions on a 56-yard scoring thrust
that regained the lead for Coach
Rip Engle's contingent for the'
second and last time of the day.
With the Lions starting their
drive on their own 44 after the
William & Mary kickoff, Engle
substituted Kasperian for starter
Bruce Gilmore. From then on it
was his ballgame.
Aided by excellent blocking.
Kasperian - carried the ball
eight times for 36 yards before
fullback Emil (Babe) Caprara
finally tallied the tying marker
from three yards out at 3:50.
Caprara also booted the con
version—his second of the day
—for the winning point. But
it was Kasperian who fold the
tale.

Accreditation Report
Purposes Praised
By Middle States
Lawrence E„ Dennis, vice president for academic affairs,
said the Middle States Accreditation Team in 1955 hailed the
University as having "one of the finest of statements on pur
poses and objectives for the guidance of an institution."
The statement of purpose, Dennis said in an article for
the October Aliimni News, was adopted by the University
Senate in preparation for the
visit of the Middle States team.
The visitors, Dennis, said, were
"particularly gratified" to note
the stress placed on the Univer
sity's services to the state:
•"The maintenance of an in-;
structional program that provides
educational opportunities, profes-'
I sional and non-professional, at all
levels of higher and adult educa
tion, wherever need for such op-
Iportunities within the state exists.
•"Graduate instruction.
•"Emphasis on research.
•"Dissemination through var
ious media of the knowledge the
University acquires and discov
ers."
The team had other praise for
the University, Dennis said. He
said it praised the leadership and
the program of the Graduate
School.
The Division of Intermediate
Registration—now part of the Di
vision of Counseling—and the ex
panded student counseling pro
gram were commended, Dennis
said.
He said the team also praised
the quality of many academic
departments, the condition of the
physical plant, high morale
among the members of the fac
ulty and staff, future planning,
academic freedom, tenure, secur
ity benefits, students government
and financial operations.
In its report, Dennis said, the
team "emphasized the importance
of General Extension and urged
greater support and greater auto
nomy" for the centers.
It also urged, Dennis said, a
"continuation of the University's,
policy of - exercising its role as the Du Pont Man to Speak
