Enlarging the assessment to
$1.10 per semester should pay
for increasing costs of publication and permit publication of an
eight-page paper daily, Dean
Gladfelter, editor, said in announcing the proposal.
Through enlargement of the
newspaper, it. will be possible to
cover more of the news on campus and to bring the Collegian
closer to its student readers, Gladfelter said. Adequate coverage of
all news on campus is impossible
without increasing the size of the
Collegian, he said.
To Cover Campus News
An enlarged paper will be necessary to cover campus news adequately, Gladfelter said, noting
that one of the maj or criticisms
against Collegian in the past has
been that space has not been
available to print news of numerous minor organizations on campus.

Dr. Marion R. Trabue , dean of

the School of Education, joined
other educators yesterday in asking the Federal Communications
commission to reserve some television channels for educational
purposes.
Representing the American Association of Colleges for Teacher
Education, Dean Trabue said that
they are convinced that TV can
be made a powerful tool in
education and that they do not
want to be prevented from having opportunities to experiment
with television by the immediate
allocation of all desirable broadcasting channels to commerci al
use.
Controlled Experimentation
"In order to carry on the controlled experimentation necessary
to learn just when and how to
u s e television effectively in
teaching, educational institutions
must have their own TV stations,"
Dean Trabue said.
He explained that with educational TV stations it would be
possible to experiment and evaluate the educational results of

Dr. Eisenhower
Speaks Tonight

The number of engineering

graduates will decrease greatly
in the next four years, the department of labor's bureau of
statistics predicted recently.Although a record number of
50,000 students were graduated
from engineering schools in 1950,
it is estimated that only 17,000
will graduate in 1954. The bureau
based its predictions on the assumption that peacetime conditions will continue.'
The peacetime draft, which will
take present engineers as well as
engineering students, and the decreasing number of freshmen engineering students throughout the
nation will take the heaviest toll.
Statistics show engineering enrollment has been decreasing
since 1946.
The bureau pointed out that
the predicted 17,000 graduates in
1954 would fall far short of the
average number of men needed
during a normal peacetime year.
Opportunities in the engineering field will increase steadily
for years, the bureau predicted ,
because of the growth of industry
and production.

Nittany Basketball Squad Prepares

For Opener With Ithaca , Wednesday

For The House

Ij Ut?

< \**\-

By ERNIE MOORE

Like a new moon, basketball is still out of sight but rapidl y approaching the waxing
phase with less than a week before the sport makes its " initial appearance on the Penn
State sport scene.
With almost two months of practice by the boards, Coach Elmer Gross'. Nittany Lion
basketball team is shaping up for the seaso n opener with Ithaca college next Wednesday

on the Rec hall court.

With only four lettermen returning from last year's squad ,
which won 13 and lost 10, Gross
and his assistant John Egli have
been working hard trying to find
replacements for such stars as
Marty Costa, Joe Tocci, and Lee
Schisler who were lost through
graduation.
4 Lettermen
Captain Lou Lamie, Jay "Tiny"
McMahan, Hardy Williams, and
Ted Panoplos are the returning
lettermen upon whom Gross
must depend in his sophomore
year as head coach of the Lion
cagers.
"The lack of height is going to
hurt us. It helped us to win a lot
of games last year, and I don 't
know whether we ean make it up
in speed and aggressiveness," said
Gross.
The Lions have been in practice scrimmages against St. Francis of Lorretto, Lock Haven, Juniata, Hazleton c e n t e r, and
Bloomsburg State Teachers col-

Unless the weather man tries

to get into the act once again,
the 50th annual Penn State-Pitt
football clash could very easily
resolve itself into a test of the
Panthers' passing game and the
Lions' aerial defense.
Having successfully coped with
the passing attack of West Virginia and Rutgers in recent
weeks,- the Lions can expect to
have t h e i r tough aerial screen
given a final probing from Panther quarterbacks Bob Bestwick
and Bob Osterhout. B e t w ee n
them, Coach Len Casanova's Toperatives have completed 75 passes for 893 yards. Against Notre
Dame Bestwick completed 19 of
24 passers for 252 yards.

Offensive Punch Slow
"We can't get our offensive
moving we don't score like
we should. But we're faster and
more aggressive than last year,"
Gross commented.
In the scrimmage, the Lion
coach has been running a first five
composed of Lamie, McMahan.
Williams, Panoplos, and Frank
Moore, with Joe Piorkowski also
seeing a lot of action.
Moore played on the JVs last
season and has impressed Gross
with his aggressive play, while
Piorkowski . a 6-foot 3-inch junior, is a transfer student who was
ineligible last year.
Lamie, who averaged 10 points
per game last year, and McMahan,
6-foot 7-inch center, will be looked on to carry much of the offensive punch what with the hiffhscoring Costa missing from the

this year to bring his three season
total to 650 yards.
At the same time, however, Nittany pass defenders have held the
opposition to 571 yards in 8 games,'
for an average of 71 yards per
contest. The Panthers have totalled 965 yards in the same number
of outings.
That the Panthers have relied
heavily on their passing game is
indicated by the statistics which
show them to have .thrown 155
pases while rushing the ball 332
times. They have gained but 725
yards on the ground.
While the Panthers have developed a powerful passing game,
their own pass defense could stand
improvement. Opposition aeriallsts have connected on 82 of 164
attempts for 1090 yards.
The comparative figures are, of
cour se, tempered bv the difference
in schedules. The 'Panthers, winning but one of their first eight
engagements, have played one of
the toughest schedules' in the
East.
The Lions th emselves, have a
potent pass-catch duo in /quarterback Vince O'Bara. and end John

Smidansky. After a slow start, O Bara has come along fast in the
past few weeks. His passing has
sparked State to three straigh t
victories.
O'Bara has completed 35 passes
in 97 attempts for 594 yards, while
Smidansky has caught 24 passes
for 337 yards.
Both teams are expected to be
at full strength for the skirmish.

Use Of A-Bomb the atomic

President Truman's statement on

bomb yesterday should make everyone stop and
think for a moment.
THE PRESIDEN T said that active consideration was being given to use of the atomic bomb
against the 'Chinese Communists if the step is
necessary.
The first question one might ask is: Just
what
does the word "necessary" mean? And,
along the same line, what standards will be
used to determine whether use of the bomb
is necessary.
Although final responsibility will fall upon
the President, he indicated in his initial statement that the military commander , in the field
would have something to do with making the
decision. This would raise the question of whether use of the bomb would be decided ort the
necesbasis of military necessity, or diplomatic
sity. Would it be used as a last resort 'either to
end the Korean war or to wipe out any threat
of further war, or would it be employed merely
as a convenient and quick method of attaining
certain ends?
ANOTHER QUESTION the President's state,
ment raises is that of the reaction of many peoples throughout the world, and particularly in
Asia. Already there are rumblings that allies oi
the United States are worried and dissatisfied,
Although we do not like to admit it, the people
of many nations view this country with feelings
other than love. Would using the A-bomb bring
alienation ,of allies and further hard feelings
among Asiatic peoples? Apparently it would, for
repercusions along this line have been evidenced
already.
Another facet of the situation is the manner
in which the President made his statement and
his later revision of what he said. Apparently
this has been another instance of an off-the-cuff
answer to a reporter 's question, an answer
given without much previous thought or consideration having been given ' to its effect
throughout the world. When far-reaching policy
decisions are announced in such a way, it is no
surprise that many people begin to wonder
about the validity and consistency of the President's policies.
We may as well face the fact that the
President's statement is, in substance, a threat
to use the A-bomb. But in a ticklish international situation, with the world moving
closer to global war every day. it is questionable whether threats are -more appropriate
than diplomacy.

One of the luckiest things ever to happen tc

Penn State was the destruction by fire of ar
unoccupied Pollock Circle dormitory Saturday,
IT WAS LUCKY first of all because the building wasone of the six closed recently for lack oi
occupants. So only wood and metal burned in
the flash blaze, not human beings.
It was lucky because the fire was confined to
just one building and, despite gale-winds, did
not spread throughout the area.
It was lucky because, even had the fire spread,
all the occupants of adjacent dorms were away
over the holidays and the buildings empty..
But the most important feature of this lucky
fire was that it acted as an unmistakable piece
of handwriting on the wall, a warning from an
unexpectedly lenient Providence that something should be done about Pollock circle, and
done quickly.
Wooden . dormitories are a menace. The University of Oklahoma learned a b o u t wooden
dormitories the hard way, a year ago, in a horrible and tragic fire. Half a dozen other schools
have found out about wooden dormitories too,
have seen the lesson written in charred bodies
and seared flesh.
PENN -STATE has been incredibly lucky. It
has had its lesson at the cost of only one old
building. But Penn State would do wellto absorb this lesson , promptly. The eight Pollock
circle dormitories still occupied are so many
invitations to flaming catastrophe. These buildings must go.
The odds, are eight to five that the next one
that burns will burn people, not supplies.

A Few Sad Tales

r\t Snows , Gates

^
"Ah, you ain't seen nothing; the snow in my home town was cleai
up to . . ." These words initiated many a tall-tale related throughout
our snowy college campus as students, recently extricated from then
snow-bound abodes, slid back to dorms, fraternity houses, and classrooms.
THE STORIES WERE AS THICK as the snowf lakes were reputed
to be, the descriptions as wet as the surging flood waters, the humoi
as refreshing as the two unexpected days of vacation.
There is the one about the five secretaries in Old Main who were
hoarding pennies for a month in preparation for a big spree in Pitts^
burgh. Well, they got there, but were marooned in the Fittsburghei
hotel for their entire soj ourn.
Then there are the accounts of the wayward busses that took 16
hours to get from Allentown to State College. Another bus, after
being stuck for the third time, proceeded merrily on its way, lea v i n g
two passengers behind.
Of course, t h e r e are the snow-blanketed cars which - were
ab andon ed "somewhere in Pittsburgh" and the hours spent digging
out cars in Coraopolis or Braddock only to have them hurried
again the next morning.
Let's not forget eating by candlelight for lack of electricity or the
poor Altoonaites whom Reddy Kilowatt deserted altogether.
AND THERE IS THE AMAZED girl from Johnstown who was
just complimenting the Pennsylvania railroad on having its trains
not only on schedule, but five minutes ahead of time during the crisis,
when a bedraggled little lady snapped afher , "This isn 't the 12:30,
girlie. I've been waiting for this since 8:10 this morning."
Harrowing bus rides from Lewstown . . . Unused football tickets
. . . Uprooted trees . . . Broken windows . . . Long hours at the television set.. . Unplanned overnight stops in Harrisburg .. . Five cent
candles being sold for fifty . . . Snow . . , Snow . . . Snow . . .
Well, "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." And maybe Coach
Sherman Fogg 's boys will have something on which to ski this year.

lication of. one eight-page paper
for every two four-page editions.
"We don't want to mislead anyone by promising the millennium
of an eight-page issue every day,
but our revenue estimates, based
on an increased assessment , show
that we could publish eight pages
regularly except for unuual circumstances." Gladfelter said.
Plan 40 Pages
"Our present schedule allows
publication of 28 tabloid-sized
pages each week. With an increased assessment, we contemplate printing about 40 -pages a
week," he said.
If the assessment should be approved by the board of trustees
at their January meeting, the enlarged paper should make its appearance at the beginning of the
spring semester.
Ads Not Enough
Such an increase in the size of
the newspaper would not be possible on the basis of advertising
revenue, accordin g to Owen Landon, business manager. Although
increased local advertising has
made possible publication of more
eight-page papers than anticipated so far this semester, this has
been a peak period and there is no
indication that the heavy advertising will either grow or continue indefinitely, he said.
Principle reason for expanding
the size of the Collegian would
be to create more space for campus news, Gladfelter said. Other
new features contemplated are
increased photographic coverage
and inclusion of the major wire
news of national and world
events , he said .
