RENAISSANCE
WHILE A SEETHING, bauble , ' mild help
lessly watched a continuing economic and political
ietiogießsion dining 1938, and while the relentless
lingei of time pointed to , (link and uncharted
(anise of a foieboding, fame, things of manifest
imam Lance wen a alter mg the Instal y of State Col
lege, of Penn State
For 1938 and the change., which it wrought
definitely het aided the dawn of a new ei a—an era
of tiansition in the histra y of State College and of
Penn State ,
We ate on the threshold of a Renaissance
We saw during 1938 the beginnings of a miss
movement to match strides, to keep pace With
the impending unfolding of the next chapter in
our annals
We saw eleven modem stiucluies rising grad
ually to'inci ease the physical facilities of the Col
lege by one- half, we witnessed a dramatic, suc
cessful movement which sought to root out the
defunct honorary societies on the campus—sym
bols of a past age
And we experienced the birth pangs of a tevi
mon of a tangled student constitutional mesa and
.in increasing interest on the part of students in
their government
We were stai tied as a pi ogi escive, conccientouc
faculty mganwation came to the fore with a thun
dering 18-point pi ogiam which caught to lulnefit
both students and faculty alike
THIS ORGANIZATION, the American Federa
t on of Teaches s, iccognizes that definite remedial
attain is inviolably bound up with the future of
this ctheieal, changing iristitution we call Penn
State
It has lecognircil the need of higher scholastic
standards, the reduction of the student load in the
iminbel of coin ses, adequate medical care for
stu,:ents and faculty It has proposed that the low
faculty salary scales he hoisted, that a mole ra
t anal scale of salaries be adopted.
"In view of the notoi sous failure of local lulus
- ing to beep pace with the growth of out, College,
sod especially in view of the abnormal expansion
"of the student body which is in immediate pros
pei the College should, as soon as possible, elect
additional student doimitorit's "
Thus, in its third point, the American Federa
tion of Teachers recognizes that adequate and
proper student housing is one of the - keys which
will help unlock the vanishing barrier which
separates the Dark Ages of Penn State from
the impending Renaissance.
But additional student dormitories ale not in
immediate prospect, for the proposed second build
ing plow= which was to include a 900-min
1101 mito: y has been doomed How else can the pro
blem be so'ved 9 If conditions in the rooming
houses of State College warrant remedial action,
how can this be effected° Ilow ale we going to
oleo( the challenge°
THE COLLEGIAN has completed u thorough
inveqigation of the nom] ng situation in State
College and in Friday's issue will reveal the re
,,ults of tl at examination For two months Col
legian repo' to s went from house to house, m
oon mg, i eon' ding, observing, investigating The
results aie at the disposal of the students, ad
ministiation, and townspeople The Collegian
recogni7es that through Joint action, and through
joint action only can anything of a constructive
nature be accomplished
The Penn State Renaissance of 1939 demands
that, we fulfill cm tam conditions and requirements
to he worthy of a new era
The gauntlet has been thrown down
A( tom will he now be the keynote —E It
BETTER TO GIVE .
AND WE could never have done it with
out the Council's help "
So wrote Mi s Robert Kirby, chairman of the
State College Chiistmas Community Committee,
in a letter to Raymond S Coskery '39, Inteifra-
Lei nity Council president, thanking the Council for
50 food baskets which were donated for distribu
tion by the committee to the neediest families in
the State College vicinity
Ivor ten yew s the Christmas Community Corn
mittee has functioned as a charitable institution in
• State College during the Yuletide season
Phi ten years this organisation has made
Christmas a happy season foi ninny of the desti
tute families in this vicinity
But not until this year Was the Committee been
able to furnish baskets for all who were In need
Thanks to Interfraternity Couneil, which carried
out the plan suggested by Its president, Raymond
S Coskery, every needy and deserving case on
the Committee's clientele Was cared for.
It is for this reason that the Collegiin congrat
ulates Coskery for his thoughtfulness in suggest
ing the plan, and commends Interfraternity Coun
cil for its unselfish generosity in making the don
ation possible.
"Things like this," Mrs Kirby said, "make fot•
Cfriendlier\feeling in the community toward the
student body."
' The Collegian concurs.

Overheard On A Bus:
On a State College hound bus , mit New Yolk
early Wednesday morning, two book-wormish
looking gills were discussing intricacies of then
advanced Chem course -while abets wore outdoing
each °dim in New Year's Eve escapades
When one gill got stuck on a problem, the °the]
asked, "What did you do then' , "
"Well, I just wiggled my comdmates "

Rucs Dobbins, spe prexi, was not used to gbing
for any length of time without conversation with
Molly Pugh, his stelitly,rsa When Molly was con
fined ..to the College Infirmary, Russ was stumped
No men visitors, you know But Resoureeful Russ
borrowed a dress, etc, and with a couple of tea
cups, some makeup, and a veil he looked ehough
like the real thing to get by Miss Chuhb for sev
eral visits
Cully Dobbins was the toast of Locust-=Lane
over the weekend for his successful Mask end
Wig act, and looked forward to more hospital
rendezvous However, when he called Sunday nae, s
to ask how Molly was, the nurse said, "Why don't
you come and see for yourgElf, oi can't you borrow
a dress tonight 9"

Pleads Dean , of Men In
Survey of 1938
Asseiting that the student body
during the last year has created
the impression that It lacks cohe
sion and 18 not aware of leader
ship, Dean of Men Arthur R War
nock- yesterilky pleaded for' the
students to "get a grip on theta
selves during 1 , 139" I ,
"As an Inevitable Jesuit s of the
physical disarrangement or the
campus during the last year, we—
faculty and students alike—have
allowed oar traditional way or do
ing things to become (Mari anged,"
stated Warnock "Among the stu
dents there has been a noticeable
dlsarrangement,of the self govern
ing process to the detriment of the
traditional Penn State unity 'of
purpose, mocedme,,and customs "
Has Appearance of Crowd
That the student body has taken
on - the , appearance of a large
crowd let which every man - acts for
himself is the dew) lotion applik
by Dean Warnock, who states Nat
he is "franklY worried "
- Upset campus conditions and
neiv conditions of 11170 in tile stu
dent body are blamed by Wet nock
for the resulting actuation
Warnock expressed the hope,
that lib 1039, the students, neaten
tarty the upperclassmen, would be
resourceful and capable in solving
their problems through, , universal
coopetaVon with the leadership
