THOUGHT FOR THE FUTURE
Working on the principle of preparedness, library
authorities have now set in motion organizations to
draw up plans for the future library building of Penn
State. They reason that the day of construction can he
hastened by deciding the various specifications, the ca
pacity, arrangement, anil even the architectural design.
It will then be a matter of money.
Ii js self evident'that this College, conceded to he
constantly assuming a greater place in the educational
world, requires a new library to aid it in meeting the
demands of the growth about it. In fact it is the gen
eral sentiment among students and faculty that the next
building deserving to he erected, on the basis of need
and general utility, is a library.
inadequate for the books which it now contains, 100
small for the comfort of the many students who in ever
growing numbers seek its advantages, the library pre
sents a comparatively doleful spectacle to visitors who
have wandered through the libraries of institutions which
we are accustomed to speak of in the same breath with
Penn State.
Future appropriations of money must favor the
construction of a new building. Not only does the growth...
of the library depend on such a.new edifice, important:'
though that outer shell may be. The addition of more -
and ever more books of all kinds, excluding trash of
course, must be the goal of the library. The future of
research among the faculty depends on this feature.
And research facilities are important when it is remem
bered that many able men will remain at institutions
only where they can carry on research. ' J
Although each division of the College has designs
for its own betterment as far as buildings and appropria
tions are concerned, a truce might well be declared until,
by united effort, a new and better-equipped library'can
bring that important division up to date with the rest
cf tho O liege.
With thirty-four fraternities already operating on
the six o’clock dinner plan, the success of the uninter
rupted two hour recreation period is assured. The re
mainder of the group will complete operations and servo
at the later hour by next week, according to statements
of officers and the sentiment of the members. Now the
intramural officials must offer to the students sufficient
incentive for athletic participation so that the attain-
ment of the goal may provide more thrin an uninter-
rupted two h«ur bridge session.
UNFORTUNATE DELAY
The winning of the intra-mural-cross-country cham
pionship by- a non-fraternity group which drew its
strength from the ranks of the unaffiliated men, and
that legally, brings once more a protest from the fra
ternity men. Last year, because of inadequate regula
tion, similarly recruited groups of non-fraternity men
walked away with basketball, track, and other contests.
There is not a single fraternity man who begrudges
victory to a non-fraternity group when it is won in fair
competition. This is not a matter of jealousy between
the groups. Proud, indeed, should Penn State be for
the almost imperceptible harrier that exists. between
fraternity, and non-fraternity men in' their ( relations
between each other.. There is no reason why fraternit
ies should stage their own contests and the non-fra
ternity men hold their own.
The blame rests on the Intramural Board of Ath
letics for tardy action on a problem which everyone
know was certain to become harmful to-the Intramural
program unless it was eliminated at the beginning of
Die year. Before the discontent of fraternities goes any
further some scheme should be set up whereby natural
divisions among non-fraternity men approximate the
fraternity unit.
Certainly it is fair for Watts hall to select a team,
and likewise "Frear hall. Director Bezdck’s suggestion
of returning to the town divisions of former years seeriis
to he the only one which can be effectively applied!
Some arbitrary list of residence, perhaps the Student
Directory, should be adhered to so that there may be no
recognized changes of address throughout the year.

Attendance at American colleges has increased at
r. rate three times greater than population. As a re
sult, our universities have grown to enorriious si2e,
and attracted students in numbers never anticipated.
Because of this phenoirierial rise in attendance,
■our colleges have become mere educational machines;
tho individual enters, goes through the process, and.
reappears with a paper parchment known as a dip
loma. Tho process is similar to “mass production”
• Tficre is a total loss of personal con-.
ta"£t‘ between student and professor, just as between
employer and employee. The student’s duty is routine
and mechanical, and the professor merely sees that
tho student docs the assigned task. All students are
'|put'Uhrough the same processes, arid given regular
’•'d&on of physical education, mathematics, and foreign
■'languages in much the same manner as a doctor ad
ministers castor* oil. And then of course in an in
stitution with ,a large number of students, we must
tieep books, so we give grades if the student conforms.
It seems our educational institutions have been swept
away by the times, and a great organization with a
large output has "become the important factor.
Mass education will not work; forcing every stu
dent through the same process is producing intellec
tual babbits. Make Northwestern an. institution of
learning; not a business organization.

Economic Campaign Issues Emphasized
More Than Since 1896, Alderfer Says
Economic issues were emphasized
more in the 1932 campaign than in
any presidential year since 1806,. in
the opinion of Dr. Harold F. Alderfer,-
assqcjato professor of political science.
“While there.was more talk about
economic prbblems this year, . there
were fewer' definite proposals,” Dr.
Alderfer added. “Although tariff, in
flation, economy, and other'modern
eCbnomic problems were the popular
theme of all important major partj
campaign speeches'there v/as ho evi
dent distinction between the parties
comparable to that of the free silvei
question 1n'1896.”
. The present depression was given as
the Reason for the emphasis on econ
omic, issues by Dr. Alderfer. Lack
of clear cilt • issues was due. to the
complexity..of the prbblems that,are
essentially of a non-partisan’nature,
ha said. ' • '
■; 'Dr.: Alderfer pointed out that.pro
hibition played a minor part in the
election; since the issue had been
fought out in the summer edrivehtions
and both parties had at least offered
lip service’:to ; anti-prohibition issues.
The characteristic emotional reaction
of the people,-was the predominance
of their of the slogan “A

tisements; rallies, and .the
like, was another feature of the. 1932
campaign,” Dr. Alderfer added. “Also,
hi this campaign for the first time
tho nation-wide straw votes were used
as political barometers by even the
most expert observers.”
“In spite of the intense feeling that
tho campaign developed. between the
two major parties, there was on evi

Dr. Alderfer concluded.
-‘There was less importance attached
