TIME IS FLEETING
ONCE AGAIN the Board of Trustees meets
tomm row to wrestle with the manifold problems
that crop up in the cooise of limning an insti
tution as big us this
Once again the entne membership of the Board,
in session at Hai isbuig, will (11Set194 the proposal
to change the name of the College to University,
propo4al suggested .ilmost, one whole years ago
by the fm men govel noi George II Earle
Fro years, this College has been seeking to gain
°Mc al recognition as a univei sity The hope that
the change in i ating would be made was expressed
to the Collegian by authosities long berme Gov

headed by Senator Anthony J Cavalcante of Fay
ette County was at that very time studying the
pos7. Eility of not only changing the name to UM.
ertsity but also treating four large branches rn
I ey cities of the state
Thus, when Governor Earle proposed the
change in name ovei a statewide radio hook-up
on February 26, this •College should have
jumped at the opportunity at once—especially
with the entire state administration fully behind
it.
Instead, the College has fm nearly a year let
the issue cook until it has been burned almost to
a crisp Meanwhile, another commencement draw,
nearer and neater ,
It becomes imperative, therelore, , that the
Trustees decide tomorrow , on immediate action
to change the College's rating to university.
If there, should at ise opposition—political or
othet have the courage and the leader
ship to meet it and to fight it Well have to do
so sooner or later, anyhow
Why not now 9
THESE, OUR FRESHMEN
"011, I'D LIKE to get a campus so that I'd
hsve a\V SC A slip for my scrapbook "
This is the present attitude toward judicial
committee, college rules, and women's standards
of conduct It's smart to get a campus, it shows
the ether gills you had a chance to go out And
you can always get sympathy and admiration from
the mole timid souls—admnat.on of a soft, that is.
It's an age-old trap that catches far too many
freshmen Fm, contrary to popular belief, it is
not Llevei to bleak rules, it is not smart to get
campussed, it Is not adinnable to face judicial
committee with .t wisecrack ready for any ques
tion
in fact it Is }mt another way of admitting your
Inferiority. You can't get the admiration you
crave because of intelligence, personality, or ab
ility. So you take another way. You come in late;
you date anyone and anytime—and there are
always a few freshmen who don't, know any
better and give you the attention you want.
But what of the remaining majority of students
who do know better? Do you think they are ad
miring your popularity—oi might they be laugh
ing at your stupidity?
And you freshmen who are interested ni soroii
ties--do you think houses choose womep who are
constantly in trobule with the authotities , Do you
believe they pick freshmen because they can break
iiiles and get away with it? ~, ,
Whether you are being caught or not, upirer
class women are constantly noticing which fresh.
men have the look at the murder I can get away
with attitude and which are sincere in their de•
sire to measure up to college standards. And
constantly they are crossing the "smarties" off
_their lists for friendship—and for rushing. -
Upperclass women have their duty, too. If-they
are interested in upholding high standards for
women students, they must iepoit things they see
that tear down these standards. It is not merely
the dormitory checker and judicial committee who
have this responsibility—it is everybody. Only
through cooperation can we meet this emergency—
and prove to freshmen that for once it is not wise
to ,be smart
fct.be smart —H.L.G.

Pennsylvania's Conservatism
Is Rooted In History And
TraditiOn, Alderfer Writes
Individualistic Feeling Of State Clashes With
Mid-Western ,Collectivism
By DR. H F ALDERFER
Sevei al months ago I mote in this column woids of prase about
the sovereign state of Pennsylvania A few days Inter, an esteemed
colleague needled me with these wet Is, 'Pei haps Pennsylvania is as
wonderful as you imply, but why is it conservative and backward it
so.manv things' , "
An honest Question, it Beset yes a fin thi Ight answer Many peo
ple, even.Pennsylviminns, me plane to believe implicitly that we are
living in one of the hinterlands of the United States There is, in
fact, some evidenc'e that might lend toward such a conclusion, for
rL is Li pe I hal Pentisylvalmi does not lend the tide of the states
I/1 a numhei of impoi tont items of Awl wan life
Berm e gout g on to the l
meat of Lhe guinea, let us admit
Ilns fail, yet point out that it is
a mistake to put .oui state too
much in the lea), even on stand
aids set by othei states
Talse,foi instance, the realm of
politics Clouted that Peansylvit
ma has not always been a model,
nonetheless, I am happy to com
pare it dui ing the last 20 yeas
with the politics of say, Ohio, Min
nesota, Califon nia, and Lousiana,
not to mention a host of othei so
tailed progressive states, the an
tics of winch are continually star
ing us down in the headlines of
the mot Jung papas Out

Administrative
Overhauling
The' c othei things about
Pennsylvania government about
which we do not have to be
ashamed Poi example, the Penn
viva= state govei nment was
one of the tnst to ovei haul its
administi alive departments Its
m genii:atoll is consuleied one of
the best.
IL is often mentioned that the
state govei innent does not have is
mei ii system Ilowevei , an I y
about 14 states have over-all civ
il se' vice Most of these estab
lished this innovation dui mg the
past few yea's Pm thin mm
three impel tent branches of oui
state government ale undet met
it, both major pat ties shin mg
the et edit Pin thernmie, the state
govt.' nment has op oxcellent4or— ,
cannel set-up including classifica
tion of positions, a tenement sys
tem fat employees, and most 'ev
yth mg, except tenure
We might go on down the line
in social legislation, welfare 'm -
ganitation and -othei fields, and
examine each element of social,
political and economic life of the
Commonwealth We would find
out that in most eases Pennsylva
ma does not- tank at the end of
the procession In many Cases, it
actually does bettet than show
But this does not tell the whole
story, of ,even the most impoitant
part of it One might say that
being one of the wealthiest of
states, the Commonwealth should
tank high in every conceivable
standard of Amerman life I
would like to make a few obser
vations on the reasons this is not
and cannot be a fact.
Individualism
And Collectivism , "
In the 'fist, place, it is my per
sonal opinion that there is a great
,gulf between Pennsylvania and all
othei areas of the United States
This is especially noticeable, as
between Pennsylvania and the
Middle West where most of our
national mental . ,patteins are now
being manufacttired These pat
tei ns are based upon excellence
as conceived by the Middle West=
ern type of mind '
Now the great difference be
tween Pennsylvania and the Mid
dle West as affects this problem as
that the Middle West has a much
!lune highly developed community
and collective sprit The people
me more like each other, they
are able to get along - under more

Out of this spit it has arisen our
model n ideas of Amei libel

should be iesponsible for the ills
of the body, politic and economic,
and should do something about
them Sometimes, this community
Is the locality, sometimes the
state, and mote frequently in re
cent times, the nation
On the Mlle) hand, the people
of Pennsylvania aie hard pressM
to mouse themselves to a high
point in collective endeavor.' Fam
ily, lace, industry, and even lan
guage play a mote important part
in then lives than the community
as a whole The lead life of the
Middle Westetner is in the open
and appal out to all; the main
spi ergs of life in Pennsylvania
e mere morehidden, subtle, and un
expressed
There is no idea hem of evalu
ating this difference of attitude,
suffice to say, it exists and must
be under stood if Pennsylvania
conditions are to be intelligently
and sympathetically understood
Historical'Roots
And Class Feeling
Reasons for this diffezenee ate
not immediately apparent
Sonic of them 'are histoi
Pennsylvania was founded and
well established heroic the sweep
of democratic dogma dining the
first half of the eighteenth cen
tuty, , the West was holm and nui
tined in it The state has had
facial islands, whose people:pre
+nted to the outside world -an
impregnable wall of `indifference.
These were established long
These islands were established
long heroic the United States as
a nation amounted to much There
ore in Pennsylvania literally
thousands of folks who still look
down the side of their noses when
anything national is brought in
to the conversation It does not
make much sense to them
Then, too, the went importance
of busine,s and' industiy is not
to be discounted There are many
of the generation before the
Woild War who remember that
progress in Pennsylvania then
meant new developments in busi
ness organization—a more thor
ough exploration of our natural
and industrial 'resources, the use
Of new methods and the vision- of
bigger and better factories for
our towns Work, thrift, cleanli
ness, religion and financial sol.:
vency were what really interested
the gloat mosses of the state
Ideas about schools, community
activities, the arts and leisure ac
tivities filtered but slowly into the
life of the last century It might
even be said that the chlorite] per:
iod was,brighter in the texture of
its activities than any period
since
There has always been in Penn
sylvania a distinct class feeling
that never existed west of the Al
leghenies This, transplanted
from England and Geimany dur
ing' the colonial era, was gradu
ally adapted from its , rinal set
ting to the industrial development
of the nineteenth century Nev
e' intellectual or implemented
with an idel3logy as in New Eng
land, nor as grarid in the outer
garments of living as in the
South, it existed and has contin
ued in various manifestations for
two and a half celituriei. It was
based on real property, both rur
al and
,industrial, and-not on li
,quid wealth, and as a 'result is
solid, responsible and without fuss
or feathers
All of these and other reasons
. .
John Barton (above) will take
,the part of Jeeter Lester In "To
bacco Road," outstanding stage
success of - the last twenty years,
