AGE FOUR Editorial Opinion That Delightful Spirit! A funny thing happened to us on the way to writing a "rah rah" editorial yesterday. We found out we really were "rah rahing." The touchstone which brought out this burst of spirit was an editorial in "The Indiana Daily Student" from the University of Indiana. It was caustically entitled "Good Old Loyal Students." At Indiana, you see, the students (good old loyal and unloyal alike) don't get free admission to their games. They have to purchase tickets—and for four games, plus some winter sports events the price , is $l5. The editors of our journalistic compatriot likened the student attitude towards team support to the weather: "Everyone complains about it but nobody does anything about it." The Indiana cheerleaders go on to say, "While the weather and I.U. football are open to criticism, only I.U. football can be readily improved." Despite the Miama game, we here at State harbor few worries about the success of our team this season, and the national sports writers are optimistic too. And football fever was infecting the returning student body even as six of our players lay in Centre County Hos pital with the virus last month. So take your free, remodeled matric card in hand this afternoon, and though it probably isn't necessary to say it ... support those Lions ... they don't need it, but Penn State Spirit is a delightful commodity! Midnight Oil The Inter-College Council Board last week undertook to extend the weekend hours at Pattee Library—an ob jective made necessary by the four term plan's accelerated atmosphere The council is requesting the library remain open until 10 p.m. on Saturday and that it open at 1 p.m. on Sunday It is necessary that these extra hours of available re search time be provided simply because the term shortens the weeks of concentrated study. Earlier this fall, this need was recognized when the library opened its doors for an extra hour on week nights. We urge that Mr. McComb and his staff again act in sympathy with this student request and realize the im portance of making library hours fit the new accent on efficiency and concentration that our academic schedule has fostered.

PENNSYLVANIA Letters Soph Voices Small Plea: Only 36 Hours TO THE EDITOR: One of the main topics around our cam pus today seems to be the elimination of our usual Thanksgiving recess. Certainly, the one day sched uled for our "vacation" does not permit sufficient time for students to travel home, visit with , family and friends, enjoy a good meal, and return in time for classes. More so than on the semes ter basis is the need fora full weekend, since the new plan makes it virtually impossible for a student to escape for a weekend. Since there are three extra days in this term, why won't the administration allow us halt of them for a much needed Vacation before finals? I believe it is the adnlin istration's goal to bring to as .nany students as possible a good college education—there fore, enrollment will be con stantly increased from now on. The administration may not tael obligated to keep up the student morale since there are so many more "clamoring" to be admitted. However, it is my opinion that this negligence and lack of psychology will backfire eventually and students will no longer be so impatient to be admitted as an object on an assembly line in a huge fac tory. Remember many of us have younger sisters, brothers, and friends and if we grow to dislike Penn State for its factory-like methods we will gladly spread its fame! - --Barbara Baran '64 Cwens, gym suit return, 9 to 12 noon, - HUB ballroom Education Council, Freshman dates Meeting, 9:15 p.m.. 212 HUB Forensic Council, 7 p.ni., HUB assembly hall ISA, 3 p.m., 205 lIUB La Critique, Literary and Research staffs, 8:30 p.m., 215 HUB Las Vegas Nite Girls. 6:15 p.m., 215, 211 HUB News and Views. 10 a.m., HUB Slavic Club Meetng, 7 p.m., The Slavic - • - Center (Myra Dock Howie( URA. 9:3041. a.m., HUB card room West Point Cadet Dance, 9 p.m., HUB ballroom Went Point Cadet Lunch, 10 p.m., HUB ballroom Delphi Hat Society, 8::30 p.m., HUD Folklore SOciety, 6 :30 p.m., HUB ball- room Creek Week Chairmen, :30 p.m., 21( }IUB ICCR. 9 mm., 218 HUB Mount Nittany Stamp, 2-5 p.m., 217, 218 HUB Newman Club, 7-8:30 p.m., 212 HUB Sophomore Advisory Board, 1:80-3 p.m., 203 11UI Speech and Hearing, 3-5 p.m., Main Lining , ' HUB Snedenborginn, 10 eimi.-12 noon, 212, 2I Mitt United Student Fellowship, 5-7 p.m., Faith Church Alpha Phi Omega Pledges. 3 11. 111 . 212, 213 HUB Bible Fellowship, 12:16.1:30 p.m., 212 111.111; 7:10 11. m., 214 HUB Bridge ('lub, 6:30 p.m., HUB card ronm Figure Skating Club, 4 p.m., HUB ground floor Fund Institute, 7 p.m., HUB assembly hall ISA, 7 p.m., 203 HUB La Critique, 11:30 p.m., 215, 216' HUB Las Vegas Nite. 6:45 p.m., 215, 216 RUB Men's Resident Councils, 9:15 p.m., 2i13 HUB Science Fiction Society, T p.m., 217, 213 HUD WDFM Schedule SATURDAY 6 :00 5:30 6. q :00 12 : 10 Gazette lEZEE TOMORROW MONDAY Brotheri, 7 D.lll 5 :00 5 .05 6 ,5 v 7:00 9:110 1 .1111 2:00 News Saturday at State Weatberaeope Open House Offbeat King's Corner Sign-off SUNDAY Chapel Service Chamber M us ic.

Weather Symphonic Notebook Sig o-oft Letters Thanksgiving In December Gets Cold Shoulder From Jr. TO THE EDITOR: What exact ly do Mr. Read and the com mittee consider sufficiently cogent reasons for the 3-day break? The desire of a student to be with his family apparent ly is not adequate to influence this stalwart group. Neither is the thought that the faculty, too, might enjoy a holiday entirely free from the thought of preparing for class next day. But then, ono wonders, why. not cut out the vacation alto gether? That way we could start celebrating Mr. Read's "Thanksgiving - In - Decem ber" a day earlier. Of course, it might incon venience a few faculty mem bers; but as long as the 15,000 or so students who are paying them to teach are here, they might as well get their money's worth. And the intellectual stimula tion of attending classes would be a help to ignoring inef ficient thoughts of home and family ably assisted, natural ly, by the Special Dinner in the homey dining hall, complete World Roundup East Germans Attack Refugees Fleeing to West BERLIN (in—Ea s t Ger man police laid burst after burst of gunfire into the American sector yesterday when nine truck-borne ref ugees broke through the Communist fence. None of the U.S. military and West Berlin police who rushed to the wooded scene was hurt in the hour of shoot ing. They did not return the fire. Western police said it was one of the gravest of the al most daily incidents yet re ported along the 100-mile wire and concrete wall circling West Berlin. Some 250 shots were fired, one policeman estimated. Doz ens of fresh bullet holes later were counted at eye - level height in trees 30 or 40 yards from the fence. The nine scared refugees, ages 19 to 23, all former com muters to West Berlin, rammed their truck into the double line of barbed wire where the East German border cuts across the Machnowerstrasse in suburban Zehlendorf. State Department Denies Rumor WASHINGTON (AP) The State Department denied yes terday that Secretary of State Dean Rusk made any commit ment for the United States to consider a Polish plan for a demilitarized zone in Central Europe. In fact, press officer Lincoln White said at his news con ference, Rusk did not talk about the proposal at all when he met Tuesday with Polish For eign Minister Adam Rapacki. There had been a published report that Rusk told Rapacki the plan would be studied. Truman to Visit Kennedy WASHINGTON (AP)—Presi dent and Mrs. Kennedy will entertain former President and Mrs. Harry S. Truman on an overnight visit at the White House Nov. 1. The Trumans will stay overnight in the executive mansion. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 14, 1961 with all the mass-produced trimmings. But what of those guardians of the checkbook, the parents of our pupils? How will they feel when the prodigal does not return for the annual fami ly conclave? The Jones' son next door, who attends college elsewhere, is home. But not their Johnny —he goes to efficient four-term Penn State. Of course, Johnny might come home anyway . . . Then everything would be warm and cozy; that is, if the folks can forget that he should-not, after all, be missing those classes. But the ruling explicitly states that any changes in the calendar have to be in the direction of accepted policy, which apparently, Thanksgiv ing isn't. So tack up ribands and glad artificial flowers on the bullet in board, garland your dining hall drumstick with sprigs of merrie parsley (Weis' —29 c bunch) and don't forget your sociology. —Kurt Simons '63 U.S. Sells Yugoslavia 135 Planes WASHINGTON (AP) The State Department said yesterday the United States has sold 135 FB6D Saber jet fighters to Yugoslavia to help that Communist coun try stay free of Moscow's domination. The deal with Yugoslavia for the U.S.surplus, obsoles cent all-weather interceptor planes is by far the largest U.S. arms transaction with Bel grade since President Tito halted American military aid to Yugoslavia in 1957. The State Department said Yugoslavia paid hard cash— not credit—for the planes in a business transaction which did not involve American foreign aid. While details of the payment were not spelled out, the deal was described as a dollar transaction, meaning the United States will in some fashion receive U.S.dollars . Hoffa Challenges Communist Tag WASHINGTON (/11 James R. Hoffa yest'rday challenged the Communist-dominated tag which Senate investigators at tached to some of his labor union allies. Hoffa, president of the Team sters Union, defended the mu tual assistance pacts his organ ization has made with Harry Bridges' West Coast Longshore men's Union and with the Mine, Mill and Smelter Work ers' Union. "I don't know whether they are Communist dominated or not," Hoffa told the Senate In ternal Security subcommittee. "There will be no pact be tween the Teamsters Union and any organization so convicted," he added.
