News Editor This Issue Friday, April 8, 1938 FROM THE PRACTICAL'ANGLE IT TS A CONSERVATIVE conjecture that Penn State will become a .university in the near future. But this nominal expansion threatens to be superficial un less, at the same time, steps are taken toward inter nal expansion. Paramount is the establishing of a School of Business Administration! Next year, according to official reports, approximate ly 320 juniors and seniors will lie enrolled in the com merce and finance curriculum, with about the same number of students who will take that curriculum list ed In- the lower division. In other words, more than lUIO students will study commerce and finance. And there will be some 2,400 more, not majoring in that curriculum, who. will elect courses in commerce and economics. Will this enrollment warrant a change from the de partment of commerce and finance to the School of Business Administration? Emphatically yes! The enrollment in the School of Mineral Industries will not approach these figures. The enrollment in the School of Physical Education and Athletics will be far behind. Those of the Schools of Education and Chem istry and Physics will be only slightly higher. Under the proposed setup, the required educational background would he confined to the freshman year, with elective courses continuing throughout the three later years. Elementary principles of business and eco nomics would be given in the sophomore year. ■ Under the present setup, what average student can claim that he has a complete command of a foreign lan guage after completing the twelve required credits in language? And what average student can claim that this language will be invaluable to him' in his business career? And what student con say that he learned even the principles of scientific reasoning hy taking Physical Science 7 and 8? The answer is “none.” Vet these are some of the courses in which the pres ent setup is requiring the student to waste hours that could he better spent in introductory commerce and fi nance courses. If a student comes to Penn State to study commerce and finance, let him study commerce and finance, and not courses required by the whims of well-meaning culturists. If he would like to take such courses as electives, then, by all means, allow him to do so. BUT DON’T STUFF THEM DOWN HIS THROAT! Comes the question, “Does the type of training neces sitate a separate school?*' Penn, Pitt, and Temple have found it so. Penn State will eventually find it so, when it realizes that it is side-tracking students with unneces sarily. required courses and is providing only 17 instruc tors rn commerce and economics for .1,000 students—or 180 students per instructor. Under a School o? Business Administration, there would he ao haphazard formulating of courses. Cer tainly, what courses are offered now give the student little opportunity to acquire a thorough knowledge of certain business subjects. According to the College Bulletin, there are six sem ester hours offered in business law. Compare this with the offerings of Penn with 2ft semester hours in busi ness law, Piu with 10, and Temple with 12. 1 In accounting, Penn State offers 18 semester hours. Compare this with 10 offered by Pitt, 10 hy Temple, 2ft by Penn, and 27 hy Lehigh. The blame for this does not fall upon the department of commerce and finance. It is earnest and sincere in its effort to provide adequate business preparation. It does fall upon the School of Liberal Arts for ignoring its responsibility to commerce and finance students. IT PALLS UPIN THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS FOR CONTINUING WITH ITS SENILE, COMPLA CENT ATTITUDE OF PREPARING INTELLECTU ALS FOR A PRACTICAL BUSINESS WORLD! Until a School of Business Administration is estab !i«hed, certain honorary fraternities —Alpha Kappa Psi among others—will absolutely refuse to Induct chapters here. And industries will continue to seek the well trained men of Penn, Pitt, and Temple, influenced to a great degree hy the prestige or their established busi ness schools. But the benefits of a separate school would also ex tend to the School of Liberal Arts. It would then have ample opportunity to expand its present facilities for a liberal and cultural education. It lies within the power of the Board of Trustees to create a School of Business Administration. But the responsibility for acquainting the Board with the lion lies with those students to whose welfare it vitally pertains. You students who are desirous of receiving the )>est possible training for a business career are the ones who should write to the Board of. Trustees, asking their thorough consideration of the matter. Or better still, petition them as a group interested in its own wel fare and that of future business students. The Trus tees will then realize that GOO students can’t be wrong! Questionnaire: 1. What Beta boy pinned a certain smooth trans fer last, week-end? 2.
