PAGE FOUR Ediforial Opinion For the Sake of Money Money is in the wind again, but, oddly enough, this time the issue centers around NOT utilizing the University factory to its fullest. This sudden reversal in the efficiency "party line" oc curred when the Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday printed a story saying that athletic officials from Army and Penn State decided to schedule the '62 and '63 matches of their teams in the city of Brotherly Love. Penn State Athletic Director Ernest B. McCoy said yesterday that he and Colonel'Emory S. Adams, Jr., Ath letic Director at West Point, had discussed the issue but had taken no official action. "This matter is still in the embryonic stage," McCoy That '63 match was to be held in our new multi-million dollar Beaver Stadium, which holds a piddling 46,000 com pared to Philadelphia Stadium's 102,000. And although plans are only made for the next two games we fear the beckoning receipts will keep the game in Philadelphia in years to come. Of more immediate consideration is the question of student admission to what would have been a home game. Will students be permitted to enter the field by virture of the fact that they are Penn Staters or will admission be charged? And, of course, in an effort to fill Municipal Stadium which holds 102.000 comfortably, will the students be granted a most "unpractical" and utterly "sentimental" holiday from the carefully allocated and prodigiously guarded hours of the four-term plan? Under the semester plan students were able to wrest such a half-holiday (although they made 'it up on a free study day) from the University Senate. There doesn't seem to be any doUbt that the merchants and innkeepers of Philadelphia would enjoy the patron age of those who follow the West Pointers and Nittany Lions—always a good drawing card. Or that the adminis tration would be so presumptuous as to keep the students from spending their money in Philadelphia on a weekend. The move evidently has to be worked out by Phila delphia officials and then rubber-stamped by the Senate Committee on Athletics and by Prexy. We wonder if the students would stand a better chance of having a recess from classes for an Army-Penn State game in Philadelphia than they do for the Pitt game on Thanksgiving weekend this year. Be it sentimental and impractical, the old Penn State- Pitt rivalry, is not being shown such magnanimous con sideration. Sports for the sake of money is the key in the Army weekend. This is apparently more important than tradition for the sake of tradition, or recess for the sake of studying— even if they are vociferous student demands.

The Ultimate in Education Penn State can seize the initiative' and single-hand edly start a revolution in education throughout the nation and possibly the world. But, it will take daring far beyond that demonstrated in the development of the four term system. It will take greater imagination than that showed by the new "tight squeeze" monetary policy, and more initiative than our "lob byists" demonstrated during last year's budget time This new plan which I will propose is true- ly revolution ary, but certain ly within the potential of a flexible u n versity like Penn State. It has built in ad- vantages for ad ministrators, professors and possibly st u- I call this proposal the 12 term plan. It wouldn't waste one minute of this valuable physical plant's time, with the exception of a few well scattered holidays which will be used for "ad justment". There would be two shif ts— a night shift and a day shift, and each would be divided into six terms making 12 terms in all. The day shift would run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and the night shift would cover the other 12 hours. Students on the day shift could use the resi- Letters 'Unoriginality' Of LP Spirit Noted by Jr. TO THE EDITOR; When walk ing through campus last week, one once again saw the herald of Lion's Paw crying out with tremulous voice, "Look! We do exist after all! We are a meaningful organiza tion dedicated Tor a Better Penn State' . . ." The herald was, of course, the black "Beat PSU, Go Ar my" exhortation painted on the very conspicious Mall bulletin board not by Army but by . . . Guess who? Indeed, the voice of Lion's Paw does quake—with the cer tainty that once again Lion's Paw has outdone itself. Now, I suppose one wouldn't really mind the attempt of Lion's Paw to arouse school spirit, if it hadn't made the same apparent attempt last year by painting the Lion orange, two nights before the Syracuse game. I mean this repititious un originality is getting monoto nous.

Classes would run continuous ly day and night, day after day and night after night through the weekends. The Thanksgiving Vacations would be further reduced io one half day and one half night. Christmas, Easter, July 4th, Memorial Day will be marked by a 24 hour holiday. New Year's day could be used for comprehensive ex aminations to test students on their knowledge of University rules, regulations and basic policy. February 29, which appears once every four years will be used for special one-credit, all day courses. The obvious monetary sav ings due to the increased use of all University facilities would be a boon to University financers. Room and board fees would double and since it ap pears as if cleaning women are already being abolished, the added use of the rooms under the 12 term plan would n't necessitate the hiring of extra help. However, the University wouldn't be able to capitalize on tuition, since extra pro fessors and Dean's would have to be employed. But, ambitious professors could earn extra money by teaching around the clock. MYERS Energetic students, under the 12 term plan could complete their entire education in a year and a half, if they sched uled classes 24-hours a day through the year. The admin istration should encourage that type of devotion to work. But, for the less active stu dents requiring some sleep and World Allied Plans For Berlin Hit Snag WASHINGTON VP) Plans for Western talks to develop a common negoti ating position on Berlin proceeded in some disarray yesterday with the outcome in doubt. The State Department said the talks would be held In Washington and that Llewel lyn Thompson, the U.S. am bassador to Russia, would de lay his return to Moscow in or der to sit in. Thompson, who has been here a week for consultation, was originally scheduled to re turn to the Soviet capital in time to hear Premier Khrush chev's policy speech at the Communist part y congress, opening today. Press officer Lincoln White announced that the United States, Britain, France and West Germany have "decided to continue the Western consul tations on Berlin" that have been held regularly "with such augmentation of the ambassa dorial group as is deemed de sirable by each foreign office." Railroads Told To Desegregate WASHINGTON (Al Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy said last night three major rail roads have ordered racial de segregation of all their facili ties in the South. The railroads are the Illinois Central, Southern, and Louis ville & Nashville. A statement from Kennedy confirmed a news conference announcement by the Rev. Mar tin Luther King, Negro leader from Atlanta who held confer ences with both President Ken nedy and the attorney general. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 17, 1961 by foe' myers a yearly vacation, the new reg ulations will permit students to take one term a year vaca tion. The innovation of this plan will necessitate much stricter regulations than those experi enced during the "era of Wes ton", since students will have little time to think of any thing but their studies. To en force these new strict rules, junior and senior residents will make military-like in spections of all rooms each hour. Because of the sharply in creased concentration on stud ies football players won't be able to miss too many classes, and all post-season Bowl pos sibilities except for the Liberty Bowl should be excluded by the Senate in a statement of "basic policy". The doubling of enrollment will cause a corresponding in crease in business in State Col lege, which is expected to be sufficient to prevent the bor ough from being officially de clared a depressed area. The intensified parking prob lem that will result from a double enrollment will work hardship on University plan ners. However, now that th e Army-Penn State game has been shifted to Philadelphia, only four more home games need be shifted to surrounding cities and towns before Beaver Stadium could be turned into a giant parking lot. Once ROTC instructors can solve the problem of teaching their pupils how to drill in the dark, the 12 term plan will itself be out of the dark, and it should draw the admiration of time and motion men from all corners of the world. Roundup JFK Greets Finnish Chief In Washington WASHINGTON (IP) President Kennedy confer red yesterday with Presi dent Urho Kekkonen of Fin land, a country that has maintained strong Western ties despite the influence of its powerful neighbor, the Soviet Union.
