THE ATHLETE ISN'T A GOON
After reading an Ql - fide in the current issue of Life magazine
entitled "SAD NEWS FROM THE CAMPUS NOBODY LOVES
THE FOOTBALL HERO NOW," this writer learned to appreciate
,Penn State all the, more. The article was rotten—true, but rotten.
But happily, it doesn't pertain to Penn State. " •
We're not going to get up on a pedestal and say that the article
is all wet—it isn't. And we're not going to say that all football
heroes should be glorified—they shouldn't, not all of them, at least.
The point we want to make is that this lack of hero-worship
ping has brought about a more serious threat than the loss of
praise for an individual athlete. What it has fatally brought with
it is a lack of school spirit. -
You say so what, you still go to the game and cheer, but as the
Life article pointed out, the game has become secondary to the
"open-air socializing (which is) a prelude to some serious indoor
partying later."
So what? Well, we go along with the partying end of the deal
just as much as anyone. But when it is carried to an extreme that
makes the athlete, the team, the school and, its supposedly high
spirit, secondary to some other spirits, then it's time for an over
haul job of the whole system.
"There are fashions in these things," says one Michigan faculty
member. "It is as unfashionable to glorify an athlete right now ,
as it is to be a member of the Teamsters Union. The football'player
is the figure of physical prowess, and 'intellectualism is in. fashion.
Attending games is still acceptable under the new standards . . .
But - any manifestation of !gung-ho' is frowned upon as being in
poor taste."
This downgrading trend has been created by the very group
that once did the most to maintain the football hero and the gung
ho school spirit—the undergraduates. The fashion says that when
the undergrad meets this athlete who fights for his school every fall
Saturday, he should find him a rough, uncouth fellow incapable
of discussing earth satellites or, for that matter, even the earth-
The three outstanding reasons given for the student change—
besides that its "just the thing to do"—are platooning, the returning
veteran and the bands. It is easy to see the lack of interest brought
about by platooning—very few fans can follow all the changes.
And it must be admitted that students attending college under the
G.I. bill just aren't the "gung-ho" kind. They have passed their
apathy clown to the following classes.
. Through this column so far, we have been hinting that it
could happen here—and maybe it is leaning a little to the left of
right, but we think that you realize we have some of the greatest__
guys on this campus on - our athletic teams.
Top-notch players and fellow students like Captain Joe Sabo],
Al Jacks, Ben Williams, Pete Shopa, Richie Lucas, Les Walters,
Bill Wehmer, Sammy Stellatella, Bud Kohlhaas, Steve Garban and
many others tlit you know and like personally.
And we don't think any of the unmarried ones mentioned above
have any trouble dating coeds on this campus like those stated in
.he -Life article. Northwestern's star guard Al Viola presented the
case for the athletes on the Northwestern campus:
"There are two kinds (of coeds)—those who say they're inter
ested in dating players and those who won't admit it. These girls
are from very fine families and they date us because we don't
take them to the Pump Room or the Palmer House. Maybe they're
slumming, but they love it. There are plenty of coeds who give it
that 'Look, there go the animals' routine. But the animals make out
all right."
There are many problems in the face of the revival of the
national gridiron hero and the ensuing revival of a national school
spirit. But as we stated in The second paragraph of this column,
this problem doesn't pertain to Perm State—and we're glad of it.
Keep up the spirit. We see you at Pitt.
