PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Parties for Indies Town Independent Men should have full support in Its efforts to allow coeds to attend parties held in indepen dent housing units. These houses, although not officially organized, should be recognized on the same basis as fraternities. If they comply with Senate regulations for proper chaperoning, there is no reason why parties should be banned from these units. TIM is taking a promising step this year which hasn't been evident in this organization in the past. It has too often sat back with a you-come-to-us attitude. One of the reasons this issue was introduced was a leconimendation fraternity parties be closed to non-fra ternity members. Should this recommendation be adopted it would cut one facet of entertainment for independent students who visit fraternity parties. The responsibility of finding something to do would rest with the independent students themselves. Permission to hold such parties has merit in itself. However, a ruling restricting fraternity parties would almost necessitate it. Spirit Behind the Team Another pep rally will be staged this evening to send the Nittany Lions off to their fifth straight victory. The spirit this fall has been wonderful and no doubt has played a great part in our past victories. It is indicative of a student body which is behind the team at all times. Spirit should be maintained and with a winning rec ord behind us, should increase day by day. It takes very little time to cheer the team on and every student should make it a point to attend the rally. Other Views Educational TV Flops A 15-week experiment in education television in a junior college on Long island, New York, has ended in adverse opin ions as to its value. The experiment involved 546 second-year students of a two year technical college. Majority faculty opinion was that educa tional TV placed too many demands on the students, was too costly and was at a sacrifice of close student-teacher relation ships. Most of the students were dissatisfied. The course taught was called*Living Together and involved typical problems encountered by college graduates. A non television course on the same subject was offered other students. Non-television students achieved higher grades in the course than television students. It was concluded that educational TV at present is not worth the cost or the effort in a single college but that superior, cost-saving instruction might be obtained if several colleges pooled their resources and offered all or part of certain basic courses by television. This is, of course, just one instance in the general approach to TV teaching that undobtedly will occur during the coming years. Some high schools may acclimate students in TV teach ing and when they get to college, TV classrooms may seem nor mal to them. With the pressure of oncoming students on the school sys tem and the financing problems of all schools, It is inevitable that cost-cutting procedures will be sought. inside Washington Newspaper Week Is History Week By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON (P)—Na tional Newspaper Week be gan yesterday, and it's too bad it can't be National His tory Week, too. For better or for worse, un consciously or maybe even self-consciously, we reporters in time become historians. Anyone living 100 years from now who wants to understand this curious age might well skip some speeches by our statesmen and read the stories papers are carrying about the inquiry into television quiz shows. Understanding us should be simpler if the historian of 2059 realizes that we can make a complete production out of a simple question of right or wrong. One value in reading histort• is to discover for ourselves how —West Palm Beach, Fla., Post much we change and yet how much we remain the same. During this last session of Congress there were cries of what some congressmen were getting away with. Well, the Alexandria, Va., Gazette, published across the Potomac River from the capi tal, runs a column, "News of Olden Days." Here's a report from 1859: "We have recently seen a list of articles furnished the last House of Representatives, under the head of 'contingent expenses,' which discloses not only a very curious taste among our honorable lawmakers, but also shows where a great deal of the money goes." "There are 4,500 pen-knives furnished to the members dur ing the sesssion, all paid for at the public's expense. There are 234 members in all which makes about 20 pen-knives to each member," it continued. "Next year, at this rate of THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.

We are grateful for the tremen dous response shown by the stu dent body prior and following our victory over Army. It was truly inspirational. I'm sure that everyone is aware of the unfortunate incident that occuried when the students turned out at Rec Hall to greet the team upon its arrival from the airport. The disappointment of the crowd in that the team was not able to acknowledge their pres ence was equally felt by the play ers and coaches. No where - on any college or uni versity campus is the Penn State students' loyalty and confidence in their team overshadowed. In behalf of the coaches and team, I wish to extend our hum blest gratitude.

Congressmen are still shock ed when a president is at tacked on the floor, just as they were in 1859: "In the House of Representatives on Tuesday whilst, Mr. Burroughs was de nouncing Presidents Pierce and Buchanan for their course on the Kansas question. Mr. Smith of Virginia called him to or der. "It was disgraceful, he said, in a gentleman denouncing, on this floor, a co-ordinate branch of the government. Cries of `No, no.'

Many graduates of Penn State will be returning to renew old ac- quaintances and to see .o u r mighty eleven "Lions" beat Boston University. These re turning alumni will also visit many of their o 1 d favorite places and among these are the fraternity houses. The fraternities, as in the past, are building lawn dis plays for the returning alumni, These displays are enjoyed by all alumni, students, the ad ministration, and residents of State College. Building a lawn display costs money and requires consider able time of the members of fraternities, but I know that the men's sacrifice is appreci ated by many people who see the displays.

Last year, some fraternity displays were burned before the people had a chance to see them. In fact, the balcony of one fraternity was burned as a result of such acts. This, to me, does not reflect the character of a mature college student. I would dislike very much seeing this happen again this year. Remember, that which we shall sow we shall also reap. Let's see no student or group getting into trouble. Hope all of you enjoy your weekend. Make the alumni feel at home, for they are Penn State. —Gary L.
