t'AGE FOUR Editorial Opinion A Future for Suggestions It is only a minor point that next fall’s sport schedule will contain a map showing the location of the different athletic fields. But it may be a good sign for the future. The iccommendation to include the maps was made eai her this month by the School Spirit Workshop at Student Encampment It is interesting to note that the idea had been dis cussed in the past, but was not acted upon until now. This is the hope for the future. Students are closest to many of the University's problems; their solutions and ideas should be considered. Many groups will have a chance to accept the recom mendations passed at encampment. SGA will consider changes in the reorganization plan and the creation of a group to run pep rallies and a flashcard section. The Alumni Association will consider answers to its recruit ment problem and fund drives. It was a small start made Friday by the Athletic Advisory Board, but a good one. If other administrative groups will follow this lead it could mean the start of a pci iod when student government and student encamp ment members can see more concrete results. Worthy Projects The Senate Committee on Student Affairs has struck upon two worthy projects reviewing the hordes of organizations on campus and compiling a list of rules, regulations and “how-to’s" concerning meeting places. Without mentioning names, it appears there are some organizations on campus with virtually no purpose; or, if they have a purpose, it isn’t being fulfilled. The mere announcement of this survey should serve as a warning to these inactive groups to shape up or ship out. The committee also should consider publishing the results of its findings and giving brief criticisms concern ing operation to all organizations. With the second project, the committee will solve a headache of every new president or chairman of campus organizations. Publication of the rules, regulations and capacities of various available meeting places would clear up misunder standings which sometimes cause ill will among adminis trative members.

CHE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Letters Froth Editors Froth Over Frothy Ouster TO THE EDITOR; We find it dif ficult to understand the reason ing of Dean McCoy and the Ath letic Advisory Board in barring Frothy from Beaver Field foot ball games. “Frothy was not connected with athletics,” McCoy says—not con nected with athletics any more than school spmt, or the Nittany Lion, or the cheerleaders, or the Blue Band aie connected with athletics. We thought all along that foot ball was for the students, and that school spirit was one thing that made a great football team. Now, with Penn Slate supposed to be a coming football power, with a new stadium rising to the east of campus, the actions of the Athletic Board seem intend ed to stamp out any school spirit, any student participation, any thing but cold hard professional football. I,ast year all banners were banned fiom the football field. Now the administration has tak en away the cheerleaders’ cannon. The Nittany Lion can no more act out halftime skits designed to promote student spirit and to entertain spectators—because he is no longer allowed to have props, because partner Frothy is not on the field, because our ath letic officials seem to object even to his jumping up and down. Since we were freshmen, and for a number of years before that, the interplay between Frothy and the Nittany Lion have been one of the high points of pre game and halftime activity. Jack Behler, now in his third year as the Nittany Lion, says, r ‘Frothy is a tremendous help to me. What can I do without him but stand around on the field looking like a tradition?” We think the students like to sec Frothy on the field with the Lion; we think the play between the two is a big spirit-builder. But, McCoy objects, Frotliv has “caused tiouble in the past.” Not since we’ve been around—and, we doubt, before that. Some parts of the administra tion seem to like to do things first and make up reasons for their actions afterward. May wa point out that Steve Buck, this year's Frothy, has not served as Frothy before, is no trouble maker and never has been, and has done an excellent job at the pep rallies. Frothy will still be at the pep rallies—until somebody also de cides to step in and purify the pep rallies of non-athletic elements, like students and,other offensive minorities. We hope Frothy will be ap pearing on the football fields too, but we can’t do anything about that. That’s up to Dean McCoy and the administration. —Alan Elms, James Winpenny, Editors of Froth Coed Misses Frothy Antics TO THE EDITOR: T thought some thing was missing at the football game Saturday. I looked and looked. The Lion was lonely. The cheerleaders seemed to gesture with less en thusiasm. It was almost more fun to watch the football game. Then I read in the Collegian yesterday that Ernest B. McCoy, dean of the College of Physical Education, had banned Frothy from the football field. Didn’t belong there, he said, What does McCoy expect peo ple who don’t understand foot ball to do at the game? The Lion can’t do it all. I predict that McCoy will soon remove the Lion and the cheer leaders and order vendors to stop selling mixer. Yours for a joyless football season at a bitter Penn State. —Janet Durstine, '6l Applications for Delphi Tapping cards for Delphi, jun ior men’s hat society, must ba returned to the dean of men’s of fice by Friday.

Many of the students who visited Europe this summer had begun to examine their lives. Instead of complaining about the lack of hot water and hamburgers, maybe they spent part of the vacation compar ing European values to their own. Maybe they decided that Americans really do spend too much time worrying about dol lar bills and diet pills. To others, Europe taught tol erance. There they found it easier to discard unfounded prejudices and stereotypes to appreciate the culture and ideas of foreign peoples. Before we left America, many of us were warned that one of the first questions peo ple would ask us might be about segregation.
