itself lucky at the lime to get what it did
BUT SINCE tha, LIMP, name! OIIR changes have
ceeuu•ed in the intended facilities, inadequate as
they wei e
An oveiciowded student population has forced
the administiation in tiansfoim most of the pro
vided flow -space into elassi musts and office', leav
ing the few small publication looms and the stu
dent union office, which actually is a part of the
athletic association offices, as the only remains of
Penn State's Student Union
The college bp, exp tided consult , ' ably durng

The student is left to lid lii stored energies

Approximately 120 colleges and univeisities

THE COLLEGIAN reali7es that such an under
taking could not be nought about ovei night
IL IC:01/P1 that consti action of such a building
would i equn a a glut financial outlay
But the Collegian also realizes that such a
building is of dire necessity here and must be
had eventually
Although a second $5,000,000 building program
has failed to mateiml.7e because of lath of funds,
it is expected that the College will continue•to
secl, means to expand its physical facilities
When it does, the Collegian hopes it will take
into consideration, not only the pressing need for
expansion of educational facilities, but also the
immediate need for additional social and cultur
al facilities— the lihe of which a Student Union
Building could icaddly an:mei.
Perham; the following quotation by Stephen
Leacoelc, the noted educator, in his "Design For
a College," will gne the College administration
something to think r,bout
"If I were founding a univelsity—and I say
this in all so iousness—l would found first a
smoking ioom; then a dormitory. Students must
live togethei in a rational and comfortable way.
They must eat in a big hall, with oak beams across
the ceiling and stained glass in the windows and
a shield oi tablet here and there upon the wall,
to remind them of the men who went before them.
Then, after the doi mamma, when I. had a little
money in hand, I would establish a decent read-
' mg room and a library. After this, of I still had
some money I couldn't use, I would get some text
--books and bile a professor." B.A.N
