THE DEAN SPEAKS
Dear Students:
As we begin the academic year I am pleased to
offer a welcome and congratulations to those of you
whom I have met and to you students I have yet the
pleasure of meeting.
Congratulations are in order to you for being
chosen one out of a possible four students that could
have attended the University. Naturally, I should like
to point out to you that the four years you are in
college will probably be the last time in your life you
can devote most of your energies toward self-improve-
ment. So choose your academic and social activities
wisely as you move forward on the road to pro-
fessionalism by being a “thinking doer” and not a
“wishing hoper.” The future is yours . . . go get it!
Once again I hope that this experience will be a
happy one for you, full of fond memories and pride at
being able to call yourself a student of The Pennsyl-
vania State University.
EDWARD F. LINDER, JR.
Dean of Student Affairs
&ditor’s Remarks . .
Welcome to the Delco Campus.
Upon your arrival a whole new pattern of aca-
demic life awaits you.
As a commuter student, the task of getting to
class on time through traffic and the chaos of finding
a parking place will subside with the joy of meeting
and making new friends.
Activities will engulf you in a concern for your
fellow students as well as your community. Academic
pressure will help you mature with wisdom and deter-
mination to strive for success.
If any problem prevents you from: achieving a
goal, your advisor and guidance counselor are there to
console you.
There are no locked doors at this campus.
All of the faculty, staff and administrators are
more than happy to help you.
PRESIDENT EMERGES (Continued from Page 1)
I am determined to make this year a huge
success—for you, for Penn State, and for myself.
With your help I want the academic atmosphere en-
hanced so that our students are the best prepared to
meet the challenges of the outside world.
I want a social atmosphere that will cater to the
varied interests of our students, one that will bring
people happily together for the purpose of sheer fun—
a necessary diversion that enables you to do your
best academically. I want the Student Government
Association to become a well organized, well sup-
ported organization that knows how to use its power
to interpret the will of the student body and actualize
it.
Although these are the major areas I want to
tackle this year, I have very few answers. I am depend-
ing on you—all of you!

STUDENT COUNT
LARGER THAN EVER!
Fall term enrollment at the Delaware County
Campus is expected to be comparatively larger than
last year.
The campus expects to enroll a total of approxi-
mately 915 students during Fall Term registration, an
increase of 100 students over last fall.
A total of 475 first-term freshmen have received
summer counseling. In addition, we expect about 320
returning students to register.
The remaining students—advanced standing, re-
admissions, transfer, etc.—should total about 73.
We also expect 47 adjunct students to register,
bringing the total to 915.
There are always a number of students classified
as ‘“No-Shows,” 1.e., we expect them to enroll but they
may have changed their minds without notifying the
University. There are also usually a number of students
who were admitted late and who therefore are not
counted in our figures. Both of these instances will
affect the enrollment totals one way or the other.
Of the entering first-term freshmen, about 100 of
the 475 will be in the associate degree programs.
