On the left hand side of Bob Hig gins' balance sheet will be found the name of Harry Harrison listed under . current assets. One can't forget the thrill that his 94-yard touchdown sprint on the second half kickoff gave the Lion supporters at the Penn game last year: For three years, while harry played for the West Philly High Speedboys, the columns of the city papers were crammed with his achievements. He was always win ning games in the fading moments. When West Philly played Southern for the championship one year, Harry took a punt on his 15-yard line and raced 85 yards to give his team a 7-0 victory in the -closing minutes.

The writer remembers his under graduate, years in a middle wok down-state college—no radio, scanty newspaper coverage of college , world, feW automobiles, fewer hard-surfaced roads, no jazz bands, few movies, few style ads, few sensational magazines. Early in December we literally dug in for the winter, and lived in small ' town seclusion until April. 'Under ( such conditions—common then among colleges—local peculiarities 'come in to being. ... . • Now college students all over the land listen to the same radio pro grams and phonograph records, see the same movies, read the same sen sation-loving magazines, seethe same style advertisements, and follow cur rent affairs in the same news-service reports. All that has made for stand ardization through eye and ear. But also, present-day college students travel about more, thanks _to the au ' tomobile and the hitchhiker's thumb. They follow the athletic teams—to other campuses and, at least once a season, to some metropolitan center. They attend national fraternity con ventions and other kinds of student conclaves. They , are on the go so much that week-end absenteeism has become a campus probleni in most col leges. This kind-of travelling makes for standardization too. • Of course there are sonic funda mental peculiarities of sonic colleges ' that cannot be standardized out of ex istence—peculiarities growing out of location mainly. City colleges and un iversities will always be somewhat different from colleges located in the . hills, like Dartmouth and Penn State. I Harvard, Yale, and Princeton have 1 distinctive characteristics which, like i the ivy vines that-cover their old buildings, take a long time to grow. !The Old South will long keep its iden tifying marks on southern colleges. But, take them by and large, student bodies have become highly convention alized and standardized throughout the nation. The disappearance of campus pc, euliarities, though often distressing to . old grads, is not particularly •import ant in itself. English composition is I English composition, whether studied !in peg-top trousers or modernistic islasks. Rumor• has it that various !parts of the country add two and two together with varying results, but on college campuses calculus is caluculus I (dammit!) from Maine to California. j Campus customs vary more than pro and textbooks do. There is significance, however, in the reason why why campus peculiar ities have so largely disappeared.

THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN the day-by-day life of the nation than was the case when George Fitch was writing hiS "Siwash!' stories. ThiS is a fact of major significance. In the courses of study, particular ly in the technical and scientific cours es, classrooms ant laboratories are figuratively only aross the street from business and industry. In the social sciences the daily lessons are taken partly out of textbooks and partly out of daily newsimpers. SO it goes throughout the several curricula. In student attitudes and mental approaches . the connection with the outside world is about as close as the radio can make it; that is, student' bodies today are literally cross sec tions of the country's population, with, all the virtues and defects implied in such similarity. It is no longer pos sible to view student bodies as queer and set off from the rest of the peo ple. • And notably in the guiding purpos es and of the colleges them selves there is a closer correlation of effort and objective—not only us among themselves, but also as be tween themselves and society—than was the case two decades ago. The change-over from' campus to job for the student is easier; and also the change-over-from a professorial chair to an important place in business, in dustry, or government is easier. In short, the forces which have helped to relieve incoming freshmen from hazing annoyances have 'helped to make far more significant' changes on the American college campuses. ,0 77 . , W.;sitifie SmRDniN am a Au i 1 . . :a.14 THE ... i § . •;,1 - RACKE T S . .:..:.. ._: , si:.ti: :.:..v:::,:,...::::„. ;0-72 out of 73 racketeers con- . .'zi]!ilii::Wip: J ....,....... a ' victed in two brief years 1 And, ;,,,,,,3g:A.: astoundingly enough, by the ?.. youngest prosecutor on record —the 32-year-old'man who never saw New York • - until he was twenty-one, and who dared set him self against a billion-dollar New York crime ring.
