iderata revisited. •
grid fan's version
', Legend has it that the Desiderata was found on the ceiling of a medieval
church under many layers of plaster. It Was translated into English by a dusty
intellectual interested only in accuracy. His version appears on the left. If he
had been a college football fan, it would have come out something like the
version on the right. This experimental translation is only for the fun and
'amusement of a feeble brain . . . mine.
Go placidly amid the noise & haste,
& remember, what peace there may
be in silence. As far as possible
Without surrender be on good terms
with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly & clearly;
and listen to others, even the dull and
ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud & aggressive persons;
they are the vexations to the spirit.
If you compare youself with others,
you may become vain & bitter; for
always there will be greater & lesser
persons than yourself. Enjoy your
achievements as well as your plans.
` Keep interested in your own career,
however humble; it is a real
possession in the changing fortunes of
time. Exercise caution in your
pusiness affairs; for the world is full
of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what
virtue there is; many persons strive
for high ideals; and everywhere life is
full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not
feign affection. Neither be cynical
about love; for in the face of all
aridity & disenchantment it, is
perennial as the grass. ,
Take kindly the counsel of the
.7!
years, gracefully surrendering the
things of youth. Nuture strength of
spirit to shield you in sudden
.misfortune. , But do not distress
yourself with imaginings. Many fears
;are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be
gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no
!less than the trees and the stars; you
;have a right to be here. And whether
:or not it is clear to you, no doubt the
!universe is unfolding as it should.
; Therefore be at peace with God,
mhatever you conceive Him to be, and
whatever your labors and
aspirations, in the noisy confusion of
life keep peace with your soul.

! With all its sham, drudgery and
broken dreams, it-is still a beautiful
world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
Steeler horses stall,
Rooney's not worried
:PITTSBURGH (AP) The per
fo"rmance of the Pittsburgh Steelers this
season has prompted owner Art Rooney
to; consider unusual names for his two
new thoroughbred race horses "What
Hippened," and "What's The Trouble."
rl've heard those questions a lot," the
76-year-old , Rooney said. "I wish I knew
the answers."
The Steelers, 4-4, are troubled by in
juries, contract hassles and penalties.
"We're a good ballclub that just hasn't
pet it together," Rooney said, "but I
think we have just as good a chance to
win our divisicin as Cleveland; Houston

It's true that a victory here Sunday
over Cleveland would put Pittsburgh

Go plaster your man's nose into his
face & remember to get a piece of
your assignment. As far as possible
without being penalized put the hurt
on all persons.
Spit out your teeth quickly & early.
Listen to others, even the dull and
ignorant officials; they too have their
story, and theirs is the one that
counts. Date 'the well-endowed &
barely dressed cheerleaders; they
are sex symbols to the students.
If you compare yourself with others
you will get a bad reputation. Always
there will be persons with greater &
lesser publicity than yourself. Enjoy
your teammates and your fans.
Keep interested in your career
statistics; they are an obsession that
can make you a fortune in time.
Exercise a lot. Have caution in your
pass rush; , for the game is full of
tricky draw and screen plays.
But let this not blind you to how
short-lived Fame is; many persons
drive classy wheels; and everywhere
sports pages are full of hero worship.
Beef yourself up. Especially, do not
show pain or affliction. Neither turn
sick at the sight of blood; for in the
face of 250-pound linebackers it is
perennially spilling on the grass.
Take kindly the guzzling of the
beers, gratefully swallowing the
drinks of alumni. Let the strength of
the spirits psyche you in celebrating
victory. but do not try to impress your
friends with can-crushings. Many
beers are thrown down in frats or
Wales Tales. Beyond a holy Bud
weiser, drink only Genessee yourself.
Your are admired on campus, no
less than Doonesbury and the bars;
you have the right to play here. And
whether or not they are near to you,
no doubt the dollars are unfolding at
the Athletic Department as they
should.
Therefore be at peace with your
coach, whatever you conceive Him to
be, and never mind your neighbors
and asinine people and the nosy in
trusions of campus life, keep a piece
of your sanity.

Temple
By PETE DOUGHERTY
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
RALEIGH, N.C. Having suc
cessfully if not convincingly taken
care of North , Carolina State here
Saturday, the Penn State football team
(8-1) now begins preparation for its
annual clash with the University of
Pittsburgh.
But wait. Isn't there a game stuck in
the schedule between the Wolfpack
encounter and the Nov. 26 clash with
Pitt?
Actually, there is. Somehow the
Temple game, which seems to pop up at
varying times from year to year, this
year serves as the warmup for the bitter
rivalry with the Panthers.
It would appear the most imopportune
of times for one of Penn State's weakest
opponents to crop up on the schedule.
Perhaps it is unfortunate. But after
Saturday, one tends to believe the Nit
tany Lions will be better off with a
"bteather" before their regular-season
finale.
It was a satisfying win, and no doubt
confidence was gained, but the Lions
must come back with a strong effort
against Temple. ' ,
For several reasons, Penn State
needs an opponent like Temple.
First, it should do wonders as a con
fidence builder. Sure, the Lions looked
impressive coming from behind to beat
N.C. State, but after all, the Wolfpack is
unranked, no matter how underrated
they might be.
Also, -it should give some of the
walking wounded time to recover more
fully from those nagging injuries.
Although the six starters who missed the
Miami game two weeks ago John
Dunn, Steve Geise, Ron Hostetler, Gary
Petercuskie, Bill Banks, and Joe Lally—
all played at least some Saturday, new
names have appeared on the list.
Included now are starting right tackle
Keith Dorney and backup safety (but
Petercuskie's replacement) Pete
Harris.
If there is a bad aspect, it would have
to be the possible loss of momentum.
Against N.C. State, the Lions were
impressive in sweeping victory from the
jaws of defeat.
"I thought we showed things you like
to see in a team that you hope is going
to be a good one someday," Penn State
coach Joe Paterno said, "the ability to
come back, to withstand adversity away
from home and make a drive in the
clutch when they had to make it." •
Accept bid to Eastern regionals
Lady volleyballers entertain Pitt
By RICH TABIN
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
The Penn State women's volleyball
team yesterday accepted a bid to the
Eastern regional playoff tournament in
only its second year of competition as a
varsity sport.
In what shapes up as, a post-season
preview, the Lady Lions meet the
tourney's fifth-seeded team, Pitt, tonight
at 7 p.m. in Rec Hall and try to improve
on their 21-13 record.
Although Penn State's record is
almost as good as Pitt's (20-11), Coach
Tom Tait had much praise for the
Pantherettes.
"At the start of the season Pitt was
ranked by everyone as the No. 1 team in
the East," Tait said.
"They have four girls who played for

The Penn' State rugby team defeated
Lancaster on Sunday by a score of 10-0.

Penn State will close out its season on
Saturday by hosting Harrisburg.

Analysis
next for Lions
North Carolina State's Ted Brown was so elusive Saturday that Penn State
defenders were grabbing nothing but shirt many times which explains why
he is wearing No. 15 in this picture. Brown had so many of his tear-away jerseys
torn that he had to start wearing another number.
But, despite Paterno's additional
comment of "you never know, you may
have to do it against Temple," the
prospects are highly unlikely. Mostly,
the game with the Owls should test the
readiness of those who have been injured
and the ability of their replacements to
see if they can hold their jobs.
Offensively, the only - thing of note
besides the absence of Dorney, was that
Geise was in for every offensive play.
It's interesting in that he missed the
Miami game, and even before then
backups Booker Moore and Ed Guthrie
had both seen a fair amount of time.
The unit as a whole appears to be
stable. Quarterback Chuck Fusina
moved the offense well, although the
Lions had trouble putting points on the
board because of field position.
(a top amateur all-star club), before our
season began," he added. "One of them,
Maria Perez, has a knee injury and her
absence is the main reason why that
team isn't undefeated this year.
"She was the spark plug of their
team," Tait continued. "As a result (of
her absence), they have not been as
awesome as many people thought they
would. Still, they are an excellent
team."
Another Pantherette, Ingrid Mueller,
who Tait calls a "phenomenal athlete,"
is rated by many of her colleagues as the
top spiker in the East.
Tait believes the secret to defeating
Pitt is strong offensive play; but even
more important, that the girls not be
intimidated by their opponent's of
fensive line power.
"They are much bigger than us," he
said. "It's important that our gals don't
falter mentally from any spectacular
plays Pitt may make because of their
size."
"We have to play one point at a time,"
he added. "If we can go with that
philosophy in mind we have a real shot
at beating them."
And that brings us back to the Eastern
regional playoff tourney being held at

On defense, work needs to be done
or so it would seem off the N.C. State
game. For . the first time this year, the
line was continually beaten at the line of
scrimmage. Whether it was an off game,
or a tricky Wishbone offense, or
something else is uncertain.
The secondary wasn't tested against
the pass, although it probably had a
season-high total of tackles because of
the elusiveness of Ted Brown, who
repeatedly broke into the Penn State
backfield.
Although the defense also ended the
N.C. State game with a bright note
stopping the Wolfpack's comeback effort
in the game's final minute it
especially .will want to hone its attack
with the Pitt Panthers on the horizon.
Oswego State University of New York on
November 19-20.
Although Tait was pleased with the
invitation, he took it matter-of-factly
because after the Lady Lions' big win
over Penn, he expected his club to gain a
bid.
"There isn't a team in the East that is
unbeatable," he said, assessing his
club's chances. "I feel we are capable of
beating just about anybody in the East if
we play our brand of ball."
Penn State is seeded eighth in the 16-
team post-season invitational. Included
in the Lady Lions' first bracket of play
are Edinboro, Cortland, and Syracuse—
seeded fourth, 12th, and 16th, respec
tively.
The top three seeds in the tournament
will be Delaware, Maryland and
Temple, in order from highest to lowest.
Penn is seeded ninth, just behind Penn
State.
