Roar, Lion!
After Saturday's football clash with Maryland,
a good question might be, "How do you put the roar
back into the Nittany Lion?"
Granted, the unseasonably warm weather wasn't
conducive to gymnastics; yet our fabled mascot made
an unprecedented show of inactivity. Corny as they
may be, cavorting in the grandstands and playing up
to babies and fraternity mascots do, at least, make
people aware of the Lion's existence.
Spirit at Saturday's game, despite the Lion's
listlessness, was higher than it's been for a long
time.
Our rivals from Maryland apparently have a good
thing going for them, in the form of their "away
weekends." As an added incentive to increased stu
dent interest and participation during Penn State's
football season, we'd like to suggest the possibility of
similar weekends—sponsored by the Undergraduate
Student Government—for next year.
There's no reason why the Lion's roar shouldn't
be heard in stadiums other than the one we have at
University Park.
Support Quickens
The WDFM Transmitter Fund opens today, but
the tempo of a fund-raising campaign already in full
swing has been set.
The Undergraduate Student Government has
given the biggest boost with a tentative promise of
$l,OOO. Interfraternity Council, representing 54 fra
ternities and more than 2,200 men, has given its full
support, as have all three campus political parties.
From all indications, no campus-wide project of
recent times will achieve the broad support of the
WDFM drive. The campaign is a perfect example of
the University recommendation that all solicitations
or fund-raising endeavors among students "be limited
to causes affecting the welfare of students of The
Pennsylvania State University."
Few persons can dispute that continued opera
tion of WDFM is a necessity on this campus. The
welfare of the entire student body depends on the
success of the drive.

As editorial editor of a thriv
ing campus newspaper, I daily
find my desk cluttered with all
sorts of trivia—press pictures
of the Beatles, apple cores and
broken radios rather than
thought-provoking letters to the
editor. So, speaking of
trivia . . .
A recent Hal Boyle column
contained th e
spinster's play-
er, which is
short and to the
point. "Dear
Lord,
prayer. It's not
for me, but for
another. Please
send a son-in-
law tamy moth-
If I didn't
know better, I'd
say Boyle received his copy of
the plea from University Park,
where quite a few freshman
coeds are up in arms about the
"abnormal" dating system.
Among the disgruntled are
three nameless women who
recently wrote to the Collegian,
advocating fraternity - spon
sored "meeting nights" each
Fr id ay. Such get-togethers
would enable neople to "meet
in a more sophisticated manner
than by going to the local hang
out" (also nameless). "If fra
ternities would adopt this sure
fire system, the cloud of de
pression would lift, making
way for happiness for every
one concerned."

Aha! Only half a term gone,
and already depression reigns.
For a change, it's not attrib
uted to those infamous "pres
sures of the term system."
When I came to Penn State
three years ago, I was told the
male-female ratio was some
thing like three to one, "but
two of the three are engineers
who don't date—lots of luck."
Apparently the ratio hasn't
changed much; however, engi-
Manager
Of WDFM

TO THE EDITOR: For many
years, students radio announc
ers have been terming WDFM
as "your campus radio sta
tion." As the days go by, our
announcers are finding more
and more meaning in these
four words.
From the time I mentioned
DFM's transmitter situation
some four weeks ago, I have
been personally amazed by the
support received. Students, fac
ulty, administrators and town
dwellers have all voiced very
favorable opinions in our be
half. The total IVDFINI staff
has been most appreciative of
these opinions.
Now, as could be expected
on this campus, favorable opin
ion has led to action. Several
groups, among them the Col
legian and the HUB special
events committee, have taken
it upon themselves to help us
raise funds. There is no real
way we can express our ap
preciation for their help and
support. There is, however, one
way we are most willing to
help them and, in turn, to help
ourselves.
We have prepared a color
slide presentation explaining
the many facets of WDFIW
work and organization. It runs
approximately to minutes anti
will help to clarify many ques
tions presently existing in
peoples minds.
We will bring this presenta
tion to any major groups who
feel their influence will aid in
establishing or supporting aid
to us. Please don't hesitate to
contact me personally so that
I can visit and answer any
pertinent questions. Thank you.

applicable on any. campus but
this one?
It's not that I'm unsympa

magnitude of the problem. Five

heeded (but failed to make
good on) the prediction made a
year or so ago by a University
professor who said most coeds
find their mates by the end of
their junior year. Now, THAT'S
depression!

Letters to the Editor
ADA Supported
TO THE EDITOR: Let sev
eral brief objections be made
to the portrait of the ADA
that was recently presented
in your column (letters to the
editor, Oct. 31).
ADA does not call for a
"total welfare state" in the
United States. How politically
naive from the social, eco
nomic or political point of
view is such an assertion.
Certainly ADA supports
government intervention in
the affairs of its citizens. This
is an infringement which is
the price one must pay for
living in society.
What man lives alone or is
"self-made"? Rugged indi
vidualism is and always was
a lie and an illusion.
How chaotic would be the
state of affairs if there were
no reliable organization to
intercede only in the areas of
serious abuse—say what you
will, the government has ad
hered to this principle in the
most consistent manner. Fur
thermore, the two-party sys
tem will always guarantee
such sure conduct by the
government.
ADA wants to do away
with loyalty oaths, not as an
invitation for subversives to
gain government posts, but
rather to eliminate a prece
dent which can and has been
abused in as far as it curtails
the free expression rf ideas
and the free inquiry into pos
sible new solutions for the
radical changes that confront
a dynamic society such as our
own.
On the contrary, ADA is
adhering closely to the demo
cratic ideals upon which this
country is presumably found
ed. ADA proposes recognition
of the Chinese government
simply because it is gross
political naivete to ignore
such a vast nation.
Again, this recognition is
desired since obviously no
measure of rapport can be
established between the con
cerned nations if all commu
nication has been disrupted.
Certainly ADA calls for com
plete disarmament what
sane man would wish other
wise?
If an armed and neutral
U.N. force instead of national
military organizations is
found objectionable and az•
(HUB Fins Arts)
sliming that such a U.N. force
is fairly organized, as it will
be, then certainly no nation
has risked anything that has
not been risked by other
member nations. Certainly,
this is superior• to the alter
native of facing each other in
conflict and distrust and with
the threat of nuclear destruc
tion of a whole civilization
looming over.
Nuclear weapons are not
toys, and it is imbecility to
proceed with such notions
and seriously consider their
use as is implied in the criti
cism of the ADA.
Lastly, ADA calls for doing
away with the House Com
mittee on Un-American Ac
tivities simply because this
group has allowed itself to
engage in so many gross and
unjustifiable abuses, obvious
ly,
As to the rest of the criti
cism, let it merely be stated
that the leaders or candi
dates of both major parties
have been guilty of incon
sistency and contradiction, It
is fruitless to discuss anything
along these lines; rather, let
one remember that a party
is being voted for—not a sin
gle man,
- As to the remark that one
should find a candidate who
agrees with one's own per
sonal political philosophy, let
it rather be stated that only
that candidate, whomever
(sic) he may be, should be
sought who will make one
engage in relevant and mean
ingful self-criticism and eval
uation—not one who is mere
ly suited to that political
doctrine which is already
maintained.
The letter, finally, conclud
ed stating that it is perfectly
clear what Senator Goldwater
stands for—it would have
been better if the point were
elaborated upon since some
are not yet fully convinced
of this.
