Worried Engle Watches
Lions Crush Navy, 41-7
By. JOHN MORRIS
Sports Editor
FOr three weeks before Sat
urday's season opener 'against
Navy in Beaver Stadium, Penn
State football Coach Rip Engle
had 'been pointing, out poten—
tial weaknesses : of. this year's
Lion grid squad.
.As:, opening, day neared, Engle
had more and more trouble find
ing_ things to' worry about._ But
just I r twO days before the game
he could still list pass defense, an
inexperienced second unit and the
weather as factors in Penn State's
showing.
• "Our pass defense has been
poor; we have an ,inexperienced
second unit line and we could be
In trouble if the weather is hot,"
the silver-haired coach said.
But still, if things worked• out
right, 'Engle thought his Lions
would win. Apparently things
' worked out just fine. • '
STATE ' PUT on a tremendous
offerisive and defensive show in
demolishing Navy, 41-7, before
41,220, fans. The Middies were
never in the game as State's big,
strong and fast first unit_got the
Nittanies off to a quick 20-0 lead.
'. Navy had been widely touted
as; one of the, two top teams in
the
; East and Saturday's game
was supposed to be a hard-fought
opening round in the -battle for
the right to claim' the Lambert
Trophy in December.
It appears 'that the Nittanies

fTins is the first of a series of
ive prtides on the 1962 Student
Encampm,ent w hi c h recently
closed 'at Mont Alto. Below is,
an - account of the Judicial
Workshrrp recommendations.)
. .
The Judicial Workshop recom
mended' that the Undergraduate
Student) Government establish a
clommittee to• insure "sufficient
stiicient Participation" on the Sen
ate Committee on Student Affairs.
The committee was 'recently re-.
organ;izect, excluding all students
and administrators from • voting.
Onlyt, faculty Members now vote
on the committee.
ANOTHER JUDICIAL proposal
which expresses a desire for more
student .responsibility is that an
additional student member be al
lowed to vote on the Senate Sub-
Cocoraitiee on Discipline. -
The: proposal on the student
affairs committee stemmed from
the workshop's concern "that stu-
have - become rather •attached to
said trophy,. symbolic of Eastern
superiority, and have decided to
keep -it for another year. This
would constitute an almost' un
heard of event. It is nearly tra
ditional that no team can win the
Lambert Trophy two years -in a
row.
But perhaps the Lions don't
know. that a team cant win two
years in a row. Or maybe they
weren't listening when somebody
told them. They aren't very good
listeners.
THEY DIDN'T listen to Navy
coach Wayne Hardin when he
predicted that the Middie defense
would slow State's Offense enough
to allow his boys from Crabtown
to win.
From the co*ing whistle, the
Lion's simply ran s. over t through
and around the Middies for what
Engle called "oar best opener
ever."
In fact, there were' several
superlatives flying around the
scene._ of urday afternoon's
murder.
Engle no only - compared this
win with the opening game Vic
tories over Illinois in .1954 and
Missouri in' 1959, -but he alsil
called this year's first unit "the
finest I've ever had." '
THOSE • FIRST• eleven Lions
earned theif coach's lofty praise.
Led• by All-American 'candidates
Roger Kochman, Dave Robinson
and Chuck Sieminski, the Lions
clearly outclassed anything Navy
could throw on the field.
But -as outstanding as Koch

dents are not well enough in
formed of that committee's ac
tivities nor well represented on it.
The second recommendation
stated that , "students are not ex
ercising sufficient responsibility in
the handling- of cases :involving
major offenses." At present one
voting student sits on. the sub-
Committee. . • _
In discussing the rights of the
accused at student, tribunal hear
ings. the workshop decided stu
dents not only had to be in
formed of their rights, but that
such information was i necessary
for limitation of tribunal powers.
It therefore recommended that
each accused student be given a
i
list of his' rights, anc • that the
Senate's Uniform Code i f
Judicial
Policy be explained include
more rights for the accused.
,
Another , guarantee iof fairer
student judicial hearingt propoied
by' the workshop is that a lyn
thesized, historical account vi
judicial precedents be compiled.

The 19-year-old coed died at

after falling five stories from the
sun deck of East Halls D.
CENTRE COUNTY Coroner
W. Robert Neff of Howard said
last night an autopsy leveale4
that death was due to Triultiple
fractures at the bast:. of the skull!.
Miss Kaplan also sustained a
broken right leg and other minor
injuries as a result of the fall. .
TrOoper Michael A. Mutch, who
directed i the State Police investi
gation; said last night the inves
tigation disclosed that the death
was a suicide. •
He said that Miss Kaplan ap
parently wept from her third floor
room-to the sun deck and then
climbed , over the wire enclosure
surrounding the sun deck..

Rain Seen for Today
Mostly cloudy skies and some
what cooler Weather Ls indicated
for today, tonight and tomorrow.
Showers are likely today and pos
sibly early tonight.
Thursday should be partly
cloudy and mild.
This would also include mention
of particularly effective decisions
on recurring cases...
In' the area of public relations,
the workshop recommended a
committee be established to fur
ther the purpose and functions of
the student judicial system. They
also proposed a "critical incident
survey" be taken to determine
what: students-consider "improper
behavior."
THIS SURVEY would ask stu
dents to describe the incidents
they have observed which they
believe to be most severe. From
this survey, a list of student be
havioral practices could be com
piled.
Finally, the workshop _recom
mended that USG establish a Stu
dent Protectoring System to curb
academic dishonesty. No details
of the system were listed except
a survey should be taken to de
termine which courses might ben
efit most from this service.

Coroner Neff ordered an au
