Block 'S' to Make
First Appearance
At Saturday's Game
The Block 'S' Club will make its first public appearance
as a flash card cheering section at Saturday's football game
with Boston University and will sponsor the first pep rally
of the season at 6:45 p.m. tomorrow on Old, Main lawn.
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

Give Much to Achieve Much—Walker
Living in an atmosphere of
scholarship demands that stu

Eric A. Walker told 6000 new
students Monday.
Dr. Walker spoke at the con

tivities.
He told the students that they

free to make a great many
decisions and that "learning to live
successfully with this sort of adult
responsibility is one of the major
lessons your university experience
will teach you,"
Walker added that students
should feel responsibility to their
parents and Pennsylvania tax
payers who provide a portion of
their tuition.
"To achieve much, you must
give much," Walker said.

ing decic3ed to begin earlier.
Some 700 seats in senior sec
tions EF and EG at Beaver Sta.
dium have been reserved for
operation of the flashcard show
by virtue of a senior class refer
endum held last year. At pres••
eat, over 500 seats have been

Students interested in joining
Block 'S' can purchase a member
ship at the table set up by the club
next to the main desk in the
Hetzel Union building. Club rep
resentatives will also be soliciting
new members in the dining halls.
Price of membership for the en
tire football season is 75 cents and
sales will continue until the quota
is reached, Betty Segal, president
of Bolck 'S,' said. 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. Walker

15,500 Students Expected
To Enroll in Fall Classes
A record number of about 15,500 students is expected to take part in the rigors of the

Today's figures alone should top the 4500 mark as freshmen and upperclassmen alike
pass under the tent entrance to Recreation Hall and set up the final form to their fall
semester schedules.
Scheduling for many of this year's freshmen will be quite different, however, from
