POET’S CORNER (?)
THE HOT LION STORY
Once there was a student,
Who didn’t know what to do,
He’d been wandering around the
campus,
His mind. . . it nearly “blew”!
He saw a piece of paper
Lying on the floor
It was the mighty “Hot Lion”,
Alas!
Life was no longer a bore!
For in the mighty “Hot Lion”,
Was the listing of events
That take place at Capitol Campus
From dances to pitching tents.
So now he reads it faithfully,
And his moral is. . my friend.
If you read the mighty “Hot Lion”
The “nothing to do” syndrome will
end!
JOIN! JOIN! JOIN!
Watch the Bulletin Boards for
Club Meetings!

PSU’s New President, Dr. John Oswald
Appoints Student Advisors
The Pennsylvania State Univer
sity begins its 1970-71 year with a
new president, Dr. John Oswald.
Dr. Oswald has many qualifications
for this position.
After graduation from De Pauw
University, he enrolled in the Uni
versity of California where he re
ceived his Doctorate of Philosophy
in plant pathology and published
more than seventy scientific papers.
Immediately after receiving his de
gree, he entered the U.S. Navy where
he served from 1942 to 1946. On his
release from active duty, Dr. Oswald
returned to teach at the Berkeley
campus.
He was promoted to full professor
in 1957, and then began concurrent
duties as administrative assistant
to the Chancellor. In 1958, Dr. Os
wald was promoted to the office of
the president of the statewide uni
versity system, serving as assistant
vice-president, vice-president, and
vice-president for administration.
His selection as President of the
University of Kentucky came in 1963.
In his five years there, he moved the
University into new -areas, strength
ened its faculty and supervised the
largest development program in the
states history. He promoted the
system of fifteen two-year college
campuses of the university.
Dr. Oswald’s success at Kentucky
was measured by the Louisville Cour
ier Journal, “The unique contribution
of John Oswald. . . was a spirit. . .It
was an . atmosphere of intellectual
daring and enterprise... opened new
opportunities for vigorous minds. .”
He holds four honorary degrees
and has participated in the work of
many national educational groups
and in community activities where
he has resided.
Dr. Oswald sees exciting changes
in Penn State’s future. His plans
are to promote better understanding
between students and the administra-
tion. In his opening address to the
University Senate, President Oswald
announced that he would appoint two
faculty members and two students
on a rotating basis to serve as special
assistants in his office as a means of
“continuous, constant representation,
presentation, and communication
with faculty and students.”
The two regular student assistants
will be appointed at the beginning
of this term and will serve through
out the year. Dr. Oswald said the stu
dent assistants would work with him
in an advisory role developing alter
nate plans and procedures for imple
menting the trustee directive delegat-
ing to the University President the
the responsibility for student affairs,
specifically in setting up the Univer
sity President’s procedure for con
sulting students.
Dr. Oswald will also strive for more
communication between the Common
wealth Campuses. Students may re
member his visit during the Spring
1970 term break. He spoke with re
maining students and was interested
in new ideas on the “grass-roots”
level. He has plans for long talks
with students at all campuses this
year, and he will return to Capitol
Campus later in the year.
