-It was give and take all the way
not a lecture, not a speech, not a
formal meeting.
Dr. John W. Oswald, President
of The Pennsylvania State
University, took off his coat,
loosened his tie, and for 90
minutes on Friday, “rapped”
with students.
“He came across as a real

who have overcome narcotics
addiction.
The program which Teen
Challenge has been sponsoring in
high schools throughout the state
have been recommended by the
Pennsylvania Criminal Justice
Planning Board, a branch of the
State Crime Commission.
Raymond Frankenburg, the
assistant director of the Crime
Commission said that the Teen
Challenge effort has been so
effective with students that the
commission is fully endorsing the
program in Pennsylvania
schools.
Dr. James S. Porter, assistant
Superintendent of the Armstrong
School District writes: “I am
pleased to endorse the Teen
Challenge Drug Abuse Program
as it relates to the public schools
of the Commonwealth. - - I shall
be pleased to elaborate further if
contacted.”
The Pennsylvania Association
of Student Councils recently
named the Teen Challenge
presentation as the outstanding
program in state high schools
during the 1969 -1970 term.
At the time when federal
hospitals are obtaining a
recovery rate of about 3 percent
with narcotics addicts, the Teen
Challenge organization claims
over a 70 percent recoveryxate.

the same manner that the
Alcoholics Anonymous
organization treats alcoholism.

“I hope these meetings can

Ned Schultz, sophomore in

different words, but echoed the
same sentiments.

sessions like this are the best
thing that ever happened here.”
Everything and anything went
at the rep-in. In the course of the
afternoon, Dr. Oswald covered
such issues as Blacks on campus,
power of student advisory
groups, student involvement in
curriculum changes, student
power in the election of trustees,
the faculty club, the concept of
the university college, use of the
injunction to quell trouble,
ROTC, military research and
institutional neutrality, and state
money.
“Meetings like this are very
valuable to me,” Dr. Oswald said
to newsmen after the session had
ended. “As time goes on, I hope
there will be more coming from
the students.”
He said he plans to hold general
student meetings at least-once
every two weeks with the idea of
zeroing in on specific issues.
But under no circumstances, he
added, will he spoil the give-and

favor of a more formal type of
presentation.
• “We purposely scheduled our
first meeting in a small room (the
Hetzel Union Bldg. Reading
Room) so that we could have the
give-and-take and not turn it into
a speech or lecture.”
Dr. Oswald said he plans to
take his student meeting to a
variety of locations during the
course of the year-some in the
Hetzel Union Bldg.*, some in the
residence halls.
In the meantime, student
reaction remained favorable.
“I think he’s pretty sharp and
has a lot of guts,” said Jim
Wiggins, senior in journalism,
from New Providence, N. J.
But perhaps Joe Posh, of
Bethlehem, graduate student in
medieval history, said it best:
“I think he’s got it licked if he
continues to go directly to the
students. Direct communication
is the whole thing.”

Penn State has joined forces
with the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Public Welfare in the
creation of a special new -center
to help mount new and improved
thrusts in the state’s human
services program.
Established under the terms of
a $400,000 contract, the Center
will be known as the Center for
Human Services Development,
headquartered in the Institute for
the Study of Human Development
in Penn State’s College of Human
Development.
“We see the center as a con
tinuing partnership with state
government, acting as a catalyst
in bringing together teams of
interested people both from in
side and outside the University
structure to work on common
problems,” reports Dr. Donald
H. Ford, Dean of the College of
Human Development.
Primarily, the new center will
focus on such issues as policy
making, program planning,
research and eyaluation, man
power training and development,
and public education.
How, for example, can the state
better measure the impact of
community mental health and
retardation services over and
above mere dollars and cents? Is
enough being done to help solve
the economic and social
problems of the aged? What can
be developed to make child-care
centers more than just baby
sitting programs?
These are only a sampling of
the type of questions likely to
come up for examination by the
center in its efforts to develop
new approaches for improving

In retrospect to the elections, it
is commendable to note that 54.5
per cent of the students turned
out to vote. Although this is not
“the best, it is still among the
highest of all the P.S.U. cam
puses. Another notable aspect of
the elections is that only two
freshman were able to win a
representative position. Because
of the increased enrollment of
upperclassmen, in the future it
will become increasingly more
difficult for freshman to be
elected.

the delivery systems of human
services in Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, says Dr. Ford, the
partnership will serve as a two
way street, helping create a
better educational program at
Penn State on the one hand, while
at the same time giving the state
a chance to make use of the
University’s research and
teaching expertise in seeking to
improve human services in
Pennsylvania.
“It’s much like an exchange
program,” explains Dr. Ford.
