PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion inspiring Professors Just why do students cut classes? Is it because all class cutte.'s are lazy? Several college newspaper editors have been ponder ing the class cut question recently. Their consensus: many students are lazy but some cuts are attributed to dull, uninspiring uninteresting lectures. ‘‘Students will attend classes that are interesting and infonnative,” says the Oklahoma State Daily Collegian. This may not be the main reason, but a dull professor ceitainly won’t be encouraging to class attendance. Kac'n year the University’s new freshman class has been admitted with stricter standards than the one before it. Theoretically, these students being more intelligent are more eager to learn. However, are they being encouraged? Is the quality of teaching also increasing to keep pace with the student? Several speakers at Thursday night’s Faculty-Trustee symposium apparently did ont think so. Trustee H. Thomas Hallowell Jr. suggested that we might not need more teachers, but more teaching. He said the present faculty must give their all in time and talent to stimulate the high quality student. Prof. Bruce Sutherland said: "If we demand more from the students, we must give them more.” The stress is for excellence. We agree . . . excellence among students AND excellence among the faculty. A Flash For The Future Penn State needs a football flashcard system If the Student Government Association follows the recommendation of the Student Encampment School Spirit Workshop and appropriates the necessary money, we w’ill have one A system of this sort has been needed for a long time—both to help improve school spirit at football games and to pul Penn State on an equal plane with other schools of comparable size in the nation. An attempt to set up a flash card system was made in the fall of 1957, but because of the shape of Beaver Field and the location of the card section, the plan was not feasible, However, with the opening of the new, larger field and with the expected increase in enrollment, the time and the facilities will be right. We want to see our football team compared favorably to Illinois, Michigan State, UCLA and Southern California. Why shouldn’t the accompanying fanfare compare as well? A Welcome to the. Bands A hearty welcome to the participants in the Band Day festivities—a colorful event on the University calendar. With hundreds of high school students journeying to the campus both to see our team play and participate in the half-time performance, let us hope that the students will show them as much, if not more, spirit as was shown at the opening game of the season. Penn State has had a winning team so far and winning teams need all the support they can get to send them on to further victories. It is up to the students to give the team the support it so readily deserves. Let’s keep up the good spirit by joining in with the cheerleaders, giving due attention to the Band Day per formance and cheering the Lions on to their third victory.

Little Man on Campus by Dick Bibler MS. MBA m Letters Dark Problem: Frosh Makes Light of Coed TO THE EDITOR: While reading the Daily Collegian this morning (Friday), I could not help notic ing the letter entitled “Lack of Light Causes Fright.” As a mat ter of fact I noticed it to the ex tent that while laughing I choked on.a Wheaty. Reading this letter brings sev> eral questions to mint!-. 1. When and at what hour of the night is Penn State desolate? 2. What is the young lady in question doing up at that hour? 3. Where on the main area of campus, barring Hort Woods, are there no street lights? 4. What is an unescorted coed doing in such an area? Judging by some of the com ments heard this morning, there are places about campus where there are 100 many lights at night. Naturally, there are people, with a student body our size. However, there are points well taken by the young lady, who no doubt lives in fear of dark places and goes quickly from place to place like a startled fawn. So, for her benefit here are a few suggestions: 1. Travel in large groups. The convoy system defeated the Ü boat; it may work for you 2. Buy a pocket siren. These are also handy for football games, 3. Practice screaming. High A will carry at least two miles. 4. Carry a billy or torch. Pref erably a truckers’ torch, large size. 5. Try looking like a “defense less little flower.” Someone may pity you. 6. Learn judo. If you bilge out of State, you can always join the Marines. 7.

Lawrence Smith, '63 Senior Suggests Parking Solution TO THE EDITOR: A ready solu tion to the parking mess is avail able. It has finally been decided that the Jordan Fertility Plots are not a sacred cow, and they are being graded. As I understand, the present plans call for making the area into a girls’ athletic field. Thera is no such unbroken area devoted solely to men’s athletics, although the men’s program seems to be more comprehensive. Since there are plans for an addition _to the Hetzel Union Building, the girls will need a new athletic field. But when Bea ver Field was scheduled for a move, it was on the order of a mile down the road. Since parking affects more peo ple, why not locate the girls' ath leic field in a less choice area? Let them engage in a hip-slim ming exercise commonly known as walking in order to get there, as the men have been doing for quite some time. Attire Criticized TO THE EDITOR: Last night (Sunday) I attended the Tossy Spivakovsky concert at Schwab Auditorium. The evening was most enjoy able but during the intermission two stage hands in the most in formal attire projected them selves upon the stage and pro ceeded to move the piano to a more suitable position. Details like this should be more thoughtfully programmed so that Penn State University may show the utmost respect for its guest artists and the necessary thought fulness that any appreciative • Letter cut —Rae Hoopes, —Mark Levine, '6O
