Block 'S' had first planned to originate its flashboard Kochman Sidelined For Season Roger Kochman, the most explosive Penn State halfback since th e days o f Lenny Moore, will have to wait an other year before making his bid for All-American honors. Team physician Alfred H. Griess announced yesterday, that Kochman will undergo a knee operction which will probably sideline him for the season. Kochman has a history of knee trouble dating back to the Holy Cross game last fall. He re-injured it this summer in a sandlot baseball game and the knee didn't stand up when prac tice started two weeks ago. Since then Kochman has been limited to jogging and light ex ercises. "We've observed him long enough to know his knee wouldn't go through the season," Griess said. "He just wasn't making any progress, and we were kidding ourselves," Dr. Griess added. - Kochman has agreed to go ahead with the operation but no date has been set. The news hit Lion coach Rip Engle pretty hard, even though he had a good idea it was com ing. "You get a back like that every ten years," Engle said, "and then here you sit." Kochman made a sensational debut as a sophomore last year. He didn't see much action until the West Virginia game when Dick Pae was forced out of the lineup with injuries. He racked up 111 yards against the Mounties in eight carries, in cluding a 52-yard touchdown run around end. The following week he elec trified the football world when het (Continued on page eleven) Give Much to Achieve Much—Walker Living in an atmosphere of scholarship demands that stu dents accept the accompany ing responsibilities.

Any member is entitled to buy two tickets. There will be a rehearsal for all members participating in the cheering at 10 a.m. Saturday at Beaver Stadium. A flashcard cheering section ihad been tried at the University lin previous years at Beaver Field, but the structure of the stands 'did not give the height needed for adequate viewing of the cards. However, the new Beaver Sta dium is expected to alleviate this problem. The Block 'S' pep rally tomor row night, will be preceded by a motorcade accompanied by a pep band, forming at 6 p.m.. in the HUB parking lot. Master and mistress of cere monies, Arthur Schneider and Sheila Cohen, will introduce Rip Engle, Lion football coach. Engle, in turn, will present out standing team members and de liver a short address to the spir ited team backers. The cheerleading squad will be on hand to lead freshmen and upperclassmen in a peppy warm up for Saturday's game, which some 20,000 fans are expected to attend. The next issue of the special Orientation Week series of The Daily Collegian will be pub- lished on Saturday. On Tues day the Collegian will begin regular daily publication. He said the students would find they had increased free dom—to study or not to study, to pass or not to pass. Most of all, he said, they will be free to determine a pattern for the rest of their lives. Dr. Walker reminded the stu dents that the adjustment they must make in the next few weeks may be the most difficult one they will ever make. He urged them to seek the aid of faculty members, admin istrative staff members, coun selors or student leaders with their problems.
