If you should happen to be in Philadelphia's Penn-Sher
wood Hotel Saturday you'll have a chance to see a telecast of
the Penn State - West Virginia football game.
If you're on the University Park campus at that time,
you won't be able to see it.

circuit by the Penn State Club of
Philadelphia. The telecast, how
ever, has been branded "unauth
'orized" by Ernest J. McCoy, dean
of the College of Physical Edu
cation and Athletics and direc
tor of athletics.
McCoy said yesterday that
the Philadelphia alumni club
did not clear the telecast with
the University, rendering it
"unauthorized as far as Penn
State is concerned."
McCoy said the club is prob

probably cleared its legality with
the National Collegiate Athletic
Association.
He stated that the West Virginia
and Syracuse games would not be
carried over network television
or over the University closed cir
cuit cable.
"Any telecast would be car
ried by our national sponsor,
CBS," he said, "and at the pres
ent moment we have received
no indication that the games
will be televised."
McCoy pointed out that local
televising of the game would be
unfeasible because of problems
that would be encountered by
television equipment on Beaver
Field.
He added that any possibility
of televising the Syracuse game
is extremely remote at the present
time.

(The figures for this semester
are incomplete since an unknown
number of freshmen in the com
mon year program will probably
enroll in these two majors. How
ever, if the trend continues as it
has for the past five years they
will still show a marked decrease.)
Although the college con

—going from 2508 five years
ago to 2677 this year—it ac
cepted less freshmen this year
than in 1954.
That year the college admitted
831 students—this year it took 50
less. However, part of this dif
ference may have been made up
by transfers from other campuses

Dennis said the college had
added a Department of Nuclear
Engineering which was presently
operating almost exclusively at
the master's level.
He added that one department
had almost "petered out." The
Department of Sanitary Engin

rolled, all in their senior year.
According to Dennis, the col

increase in enrollment. He - esti
