Pitt-USC coverage
TO THE EDITOR: To put it mildly, the two-part article by Tim
Panaccio on the Pitt-USC game was one of the shoddiest
pieces of reporting I have ever read. I was at that game, but
after reading that article. I wonder if he was at the same game I
was, Apparently Panaccio is bored by hard-hitting, power
football. A much bigger and strongei'Southern Cal had to earn
every yard against a gallant Pitt defense. To say that Anthony
Davis "single-handedly carried the Trojans to an 80-yard drive"
does a grave - injustice to quarterback Vince Evans, the five
running backs behind him (not even Davis could have played in
that meatgrinder every play, as was shown by his appearing in
at most two-thirds of USC's offensive plays), and the Trojan's
excellent offensive line.
But the poor reporting carried over to his "observations" on
the crowd. They were no more (or less) drunk than we are at
Beaver Stadium. And if the game was boring, why did the fans
remain until less than a minute to go in the game? Obviously
they enjoyed the game as much as I did, and they showed it in
their continuous vocal support for the Panthers.
I suggest that the Collegian find another sports writer who
isn't so horny (those tanned girls with red'and gold pom-poms
were figments of his imagination) and who doesn't try to make
good reading for PSU, thinking no one would care to challenge
him.
Sports reporting
TO THE EDITOR: I would like to salute the Daily Collegian and
writer Mike Rodman as true pioneers in the field of sports
journalism. Rodman's article on the Chi Phi -Alpha Sig in
tramural football game was truly written in a style not yet seen
in twentieth century journalism.
It is a shame that the Collegian editors are not quire adept at
screening advertisements from accurate sports reports. But
since this "article" did find its way onto liege 11 of Wed
nesday's Collegian, I'd like to offer some advice to the man
who wrote this "accurate — account . of the game: Take Journ.
213 (news writing) next - term. Please!

To begin, your headline (and the entire article') is
opinionated for any newspaper to print. The referee made
bad call (too many men) and you blame the loss of Alpha
on him. That should be labeled "according to Alpha Sig,"
not your opinion if you are a writer.
Secondly, the lead of your story (if there is- one) is, the
seventh paragraph. This may be the fault of someone in copy,l
but if you put that story together in that order, you should be;
demoted to answering telephones and opening the
. door,.
A good reporter also gets his facts straight. The Chi Phi C.B.i
couldn't have completed a pass to John Morehouse; no o 'e in
Chi Phi answers to that one. Also, there's little wonder why the
ri m
defensive line tipped so many passes. If that field goal try as
from 40 yarBS, then the defense was 12 feet tall.
Finally, where was that "large crowd, irfcluding two little
sisters" that you wrote about? The two girls were the only
people there, but I guess we could still call the ref's decision
"famous." After all, I'm sure the whole university cares about
Tuesday night's game. Isn't that why it made the sports pages?
In the future, please try to give us journalism instead of
advertising. Opinions belong in the ads or editorials, not in
factual accounts of football games. I don't like to eat lunch
twice while reading the Collegian
Those English courses . ,
TO THE EDITOR: I'm replying to the letter to the editor in the
Oct. 2 Collegian concerning English 1 and English 3.
• It's true that these two courses are required for just about
everyone in Penn State: But the writer of the letter must have a
narrow scope of friends to say that everyone he talks to finds
the courses boring and depressing. I for one find English Iran
interesting and fundamental course in fearing the basics, of
writing a paragraph. While being,taught the rules of gram Mar
and composition, the course also offers an outlet for creativity.
As fotWie egocentric professors who the writer referred to:
Well; my teacher MisS Jayne Kribss, happens to be a witty,
interesting and vivacious teacher. And I for one am not
"kissing the teacher's ass" as the writer put it; yet I am so far
receiving an A in the course (English 1). The teacher' also
manages to teach the rules of composition without cramping

Polluted water?
TO THE EDITOR: By writing this letter, I am hoping to get
some action on a problem which has been plaguing the
residents of Hamilton for the last two years. Every once in a
while, our water takes on the smell of crude oil. After several
incidents last year,
,a man came to our dorm, verified the
stench in the water, took a sample.- and never returned
Eventually the smell faded, but now it is back again.
I tear that before too long. I will wake up with no liver, or
perhaps never wake up, at all. Does anyone know what poison
is being dumped in our drinking water?
