JUST A NOTE
-DEAR JOE
,y2TQ „asked me do write vou a lettei giv
you all of the dope vou may be able to
youi lour year’s at State
- v;£feel sort of guilty handing this to you,
l’ll confess tha* peihaps vou didn’t
asfethe right guy to do the job Yes, I guess
X do-occupy the role of a pontifical senior
but going to meet a helluva lot of
tliese seniors who are so blissfully lgnor
•ant-ihat you hate to «peak to them foi
1 fear!qf breaking their smoky halo of sugaiy
illusifljis
.-t why waste time apologizing ’ It’s
'yilfr'funeral, not mine
It may hurl youi feelings for me to tell
you this, Joe, but if you’re entering college
-tfrirave a rip-roanng lime, go home and
make room for someone who’s thinking m
• terms of a products e future.
'Ji-ySee, Joe. things ai e bad enough as they
stand now. The ability of college graduates
is no longer the big stick to security and
We have enough educationa 1 leech
es; now so why block the path of most of
jj& who are in earnest about the whole busi
ness 9
You’re going to ne lonely the hrst couple
of days here, Joe. I know I uas I had never
been.- away from home foi any pei lod of
time’and to be on my own, was an expen
ence that 'left me dangling in mid-aii But
you’re going to make new friends, you’re
gomg'fo write home, see shows, get buried
m your work In no time at all that lone and
deserted feeling will be all gone
And, Joe, before I foiget, don’t come here
with any. ideas in your head about scoring
any "quick and easy triumphs Maybe you
were captain of the high (school football
team, the best dancer m your class 1 maybe
you were editor of your high school paper,
head cheerleader, piesident of the class—
forget it all, Joe, they don’t mean a thing
here You're on a new battlefield and you’ve
got' to win all over again Your fight’s half
TbsTjTyou feel Penn State owes you some
thing. Remembei, Joe, there’ie 7,000 of us
here and if we all felt the same way, where
would we stand’
Try to utilize the things you leai ned and
won in high school, but please don’t flash
sfour5 f our trophies here and expect us to bow to
you:
* On the other hand, Joe, don't come here
wilti any inferiority completes about this
and thal. Potentially,, you’ie as good and
better than most of us Go about things in
your own quiet way and remembei that we
don’t* judge things here bv the sound of the
symphony but by its depth/'beauty, and
authenticity.
Write home about twice a week, Joe
Whether you know it 01 not, they're always
worrying about you back there—worrying
about your health, whether you’ve gained
or, lost any weight, woitying about that
cold you had when you left home, wni rying
about your studies and countless other little
things' you never stop to think about.
And don’t put on the dog when you go
home for vacations, Joe. It makes you seem
ridiculous and only hurts those who knew
33)»_li!when.” Pei haps your ideas have
changed since you left home, perhaps you
tir&s Ja bit differently and perhaps you can
use campus slang fluently—but save them
all until you get back to the campus.
’ "tali’re, going to live in a somewhat arti
ficial world for four years, Joe, and you
can’t lose-sight of the inevitable fact that
The fiiawn will come again after those four
years- Try your best to retain the qualities
yotir family and friends admired in you be
forfc y[iu left home.
j E could go on and or, Joe, but a stop’s
gotta tome somewhere. Drop in and see me
■Jvhfn you get in town. You’re on your own
from ljow on; it’s going to be tough in spots,
easy in others, above all, no matter what
happens—take your part as best you can.
You may muff a few plays now and then,
blits its an exciting game—if you don’t
Weaken.
Your pal,
Hello, Penn Staters:
Please do not take the above, our first line
of the year, as an example of what Is to foi*
low It’s been running through our mind ever
since we read the PSCA’s freshman Bible, and
we just had to get it out of our system
We got back In town in time to take a fly*
Ing trip around the village, visit our favorite
spies, dig our battered hat out of the third
drawer on the left In the chief grafter’s! desk,
loosen our tie, stick a cigarette in the corner of
our mouth, sit down to our Remington Paragon
No 12 and valiantly go over the top to do or
die in our annual battle with Old Man White
Space and his axis mate, the notorious Dead
line (pause for breath)

struggle, gets the leather bound Espenshade

the year)
(Campuseer’s Note The editor Is just
jealous because people know whom to blame
for the editorials, while we sneak around and
work subverslvely, underhandedly, anonymous
ly, heh, heh).
But, To Go On! —
As we were saying, we started to write this
column in what we considered a rather unique
manner We listed all the standard types of
columns on slips of paper, placed them in the
aforesaid but oh so-professlonal hat.
drew out a slip, and lo and behold, the Take*
My*Pen*lnHand style won the raffle So, dear
readers, if you are still with us, here we go In
column number one of the year’
Dear Mom
I have «ulived safely aft"r a dull tup It wni
wondeiful to duve down the io n d from bfte pasl
the sewage disposal plant, and to get oui fii st
glimpse in thiee months of OM Main tower Theie,
I said to stands one of the greatest diploma
mills m Centre Count* t And my heart pitter-pat
tered at the meie thought of.it -
By the way, mom, 1 was hned twelve-fifty be

bettei wire me a 'twenty spot
Things ,aie just about the same mound heie.
Higgins says the team is biggei and toughei, but
«-o is the schedule Professoi MacCai ty, the sage
of Ag Hill, predicts the Nittiny Lions will break
tiadition and add a new plav then lcneitoire
There aie a few new stoies on town and one of
them is the piopeity of than yokel

that I boirowed fiveis fiom them duung Spnng

is* absurd because you sent me a hfty foi the

rather than have them make a fuss* about it A

Oh yes, mom, befne I foiget it—Remembei

Provost, who penned many a Thespian hit, has
written the music foi a new */iow called “A Vote
For Youth ” It went big at Spnng Lake this
summei, and Piovost**. tunes may cany it to the
Great White Way
That’s about all, Mom, except that they lemoved
the led light in fiont of the postoffiee thus making
it unneccssniy to stop going up Allen Stieet hill
It makes motoring here a plca«me Wou.d it be
