AN INTRODUCTION
With this grectng, Penn State's own emblem ot
friendship and Rood spit it, mo welcome the students
who tomorrow* will begin si\ weeks of study m the
Summer Session To many of the 2500 who are regis
tering, it is an old greeting, a welcome of former ac
quaintances. To the new aimals we ta\ “Hello” as
sincerely.
The newcomeis will become acquainted today with
an institution new to them, the Summci Session, and to
the newcoMeis we speak niunanlj Pcihaps you think
you know it thiough pamphlets and bulletins. But
such an acquaintanceship is scant\ at be*t.
The Summei Session is twenty-two ycnis old today.
Its scope of soimcc, the oppoi lumties that it affords,
arc greater than e\ci before And foimci students will
attest to the complexity and . ue of its previous facili
ties. With the oiganizstion of a untveiMty as its back
ground, the expansion of the Summei Session has been
constant Thcie are few coui-es and studies that it
cannot pi ovule
To supplement cla-swoik, lectmes and enteitain
ment are ofTeied which contain the gi«t of education
offered in courses The registrant in music may loam
about art, the aitM may attend talks on psychology,
the student in French may learn of modem trends m
litciaturc Oppoitunitics of obtaining outMde mfoima
tion are manifold
Rccieation in many foims is available, and the hos
pitality of town and College insuie a spurt of informal
cordiality that makes stiangeis fullv at home Nearby
arc numerous points of educative and cnteitaning val
ue Them arc ftequent oppoi tunities foi enteitainment
provided by the Summei Session m the form of as
semblies and receptions. Unlimited athletic facilities
are present, and social activities .lie not wanting.
In your six-veehj stav at Penn State, you will be
offered the oppoitunitics foi a well-iounded summer.
The varied means of enteitainment and education are
yours to select May youi acquaintance with the Sum
mer Session be most pleasant
With the completion of the second annual inter
session to be offered by the College, piactical assurance
has been given that such a couise fills a definite peed m j
education The inetease of Unity-eight peiccnt over last
year’s enrollment attests to the fact that students’havc
realized the opportunities extended them. It is not un
likely that a year-iound continuation of classes would
prove botli piactical and valuable at Penn State.
A SERVICE
If a Summer Session student of extiaoidmaiy am
bition and consumable ability wcic to declare that he
would not neglect one oppoi tunity of acquit mg knowl
edge during lus stay at Penn State—if he were to de
clare that no lectuu’, no enteitainment, no amusement
would be omitted fiom his schedule—he would be aim
ing at a creditable goal, but his plans would soon
go awry
It is, peihap?, an undignified compattson, but Penn
State’s Summei Session is a fair competitor to a threo-
Ting circus in the mimhoi of its events. While the op
poitunities it offeis to those who seek learning cover a
wide range, no single ncivon could expect to complete
the lound of all lectmes and classes offered.
When people are unable to attend events in which
thev nre interested, (he repotting of those events be
comes news. It h at this point that wo find our oppoi
tumty to t»eive Summer Session students. Pnmaiily,
the Summei Collegian amis to guide its leaders in a
choice of woith-while occupations, seeondnuly, its duty
is to repoit these events for those who missed them.
The occupations and occurrences of an institution cater
ing to ‘lOOO people me many. It is om atm to present
these events as news.
While sen kc to icadeis stands always first, a sub
suliaiy policy will be maintained this summer for the
first time. In an attempt to develop new journalistic
principles, the Summei Collegian will seive partially
as a laboiatory experiment, in which new methods and
ideas will be given consideration. It is to be hoped that
comments and suggestions will bo offered the staff in
its attempt at improvement and change.
Summer Session Sallies
. If it hadn’t been for the depression and tan
gerines, we’d have had a columnist to fill this space
during the summei, instead of just five people who
think they can write it. Mavbe you remember Iley
wood B. Rum, the guy that smuggled jokes into punt
last year. His death last week was «nd, veiy sad
He had a good trade in New York, soling tnngeunes
to people who sold apples But he swallowed the one
item of stock when a high-power peddlei tned to
swindle him into a pretzel.

That leaves this depmtment with five people
who still think they can be funny*, and three thousand
visitois who believe they could if they tried. Our
five candidates are convinced. Just because he was
editor of Old Mam Bell, Roy Moigan has tasted the
literary urge to the extent of sitting on the edge of
a chair and peering hard at the typewriter If you
sit in the Coiner loom all day long, and figure out
who sticks around the most, you'll liaw our second
jestei, Bobby Galbraith—Mr Robert E Gaibraith to
you, Dcboiah With Gal goes his contemporaiy and
cohort, Mr. Wood Eddy Zern, Froth artist who
would like to drag down a job, has an idea he could
turn some of his funny pictures into words. And
then there’s Buck Myers, Delta Sigma Pin magnate,
who just might be able to turn out a few jokes if he
tued very haul
Well, we still have to get a columnist Diop
around and apply.
Until we get acquainted with the new crop of
school inarms and this isn’t so haul to do (since most
of them hove been cooped up all winter) it looks like
we’ll have to fill half this column with peisonnl items
about some of our well-known regular session celebri
ties You know it's hard to settle down to a menial
summer Job after-acting the pait of a big shot, for
nine months in the year. Hence we have with us
again Bob Keelei, Buqk Myers, A 1 Lewis, Manny
Peikins, Ted Krum. Jimmy* Hombeck, Ken Iloldci
man, and Tommy Tomlinson.
Before we foxget to mention it we want to speak
of Jim Tiulhngci. Jim lives m peipetual fear of
getting his name in this column, so we feel like it will
relieve his mind somewhat to have it over with.
Almost the first poison we saw in town was our
old fnend Bob Keeler. A little grey behind the ears,
but there he was Still smiling behind the counter with
his little pad and pencil taking down names and tele
phone numbers Bob has a car this summer so ho
won’t have much tiouble defending his title as Sum
mer School Lochmvar.
The fust thing that happened to us after we
arrived made us believe that some of the high campus
moguls have been going mound in disguise for sev
eral yeans. Wo were seated in the Cornei Room one
afternoon with a friend when Thelma came up
breathlessly
“Is Lewis hero 9 ” she said
“I’m A 1 Lewis,” our friend replied.
“Oh no you're not A 1 Lewis,” said Thelma
