In all conscience, theie can be but one lc-ponse fiom the student body Until last spung Penn Slate had foi some rears been unable to boast any student-edited publication piotcnding to puic hler aiy woith. Some of our rcadeis will accept this fact quite pas sively They will close thou eyes to anothe, significant fact, that practically cvoiy college and unAciMty which thev me m the habit ol legaidmg equal in ian'* to Penn Slate and many which they aie likely to unwcler micuoi, ha\c htciaiy magazines as stable as the campus newspaper and the campus comic. They will loiget that many ot the high schools at which they prepaied h«id modest htciaiy magazines Thev will lecognize no implica tion which these tacts might bring home And they v ill turn deal curs to the note* ot the "Old Mam Bell ” Penn State, howe\cr, lias nucleigiaduates of anothei oideir— Jor the future of the College wc hope the" me m the rnaioiity— undertfiaduates who icalne that a college education mint bo something more than a tiamirg in the use of a handbook, an ac quisition ot facts and nienUil discipline flora text-books. They ic ahze that theie is another side, just as 1111 pm tant* an appreciation ot things hteiaiy. in theory taken caic ot by the college courses, in tact pitifully handicapped by the lack of means of cxpic.ssion And moie, thev icalizc that litcr.u > woik pioduced by their own classmates, although faulty perhaps, cun be at once a pleasme to read and a prod to thou own creative powers. These are the men who can set the slnnduid ol intellect and culture at Penn State The first modest step ot the "Old Main Bell” m pointing the way to that standard was ielteimg The second step must be made secure Dining the past week a nation-wide poll on the World Comt question was conducted in every Ameiiean college and unneisity The issue was vital, affecting e\ciy citi/on, and the losults weie expected to influence the judgment of the ‘-talesmen who aie now moulding our nation’s destinies. But the tabulation of the totals liom hundreds of colleges reveals the fact that of appioximaloly seven hundred thousand Amcucan undeigraduates only one punched and twenty thousand \oiced then opinions on this all-impoitant question Unnersilies with student bodies ol moio than fifteen thousand were able to amiss but a scant nineteen hundred \otcs and colleges of five 11* nd but seven hundiH Is it Luo that only one student in 0 ve ,M ’ six is sufficiently intei estorl in cunent topics to state his opinion on what is peihaps the nation’s greatesl pioblem? Courses m political science and history fail when undci grad uates ignore contemporary political issues and fail to notice events which are shaping historv. Piactical expenoncc is the ciy of employers But piactico is gamed not only in the laboratories. It is the coupling of thcoictical study with present clay events that consitutos the really important pinctieum And the‘stud ent studying present clay pioblems as well as thcoictical prob lems is the one who is fitting hmisclt for scmcc m the outside world It is he who will achie\c success. It is not the fault of the colleges It is the fault of the un dergraduate. And with him lies the lcmedy.
