This year, approximately 500
freshmen were admitted to our
campus. Along with them, they
brought along a certain quality
which has eluded this campus
enthusiasm.
Host of these students came
to this campus frightened: for
many of them it's the first
time they have been away from
home, and others wondered what
was in store for them. (I'm
sure the sophomores can remem
ber how it was for them last
year: wondering if they would
flunk-out; what their teachers
would be like; etc.)
But this year's freshmen
seem to be putting these fears
out of their minds. At the
dance held the first week, the

freshmen thoroughly enjoyed
themselves. In looking around
the dance floor, one could see
the enthusiasm being generated
by the freshmen.
On Friday at the activities
sign-up, they were eager to sigi
up for the various clubs and
organizations. (The freshmen
on the COLLEGIAN staff are just
one example of this enthusiasm,
They have helped the editors
and given up many hours of
their time to help put together
this paper.)
The freshmen class has done
a fine job so far and we hope
that through them, the entire
campus can become more enthu
siastic.

A Best Buy--
At 60 Percent Off
by Dr. William J. David
Campus Director
Despite the steady increase
in tuition over the last half
dozen years, an education at
Penn State is, still one of the
best bargains you can find*
For each student on the roster,
the University has to spend
about $2500 a year for faculty
and staff compensation, instruc
tional supplies and equipment,
maintenance of facilities, util
ities, and miscellaneous expen
ses. Fortunately, the taxpayers
of Pennsylvania, through their
legislators, are picking up the
lion's share of this cost, about
$l5OO per student.
This cost-sharing in your edu
cation by Mr. iPaxpayer is not
altogether altruistic. Society
is investing in you and expects
to get a return on that invest
ment. For the forty years of your
oductive career, most of,you
.11 be paying more taxes. This
•financial return to the state,
nOwever, is only part of.the pay
off. The intellectual leadership
of the nation comes, in large
measure, from the college and
universities. Were it not for the
continuing supply of new scien
tists, humanists, engineers, law
yers, educators, etc. to keep the
vast, complex system of society
functioning properly, the United
States would slip into stagnation
and decline. University-trained
leadership is essential.
So, you have a job to do.
Spend your time at Highacres
wisely. For your dollar and the
state's matching dollar and a half,
get full measure of education. You
owe it to yourself and to society.
