College PA under the net of March 3. IBIS Tuesday, January 23, 1940 WANTED-A PLUMS ONCE AGAIN, the Boaid of Trustees meets to wrestle with the manifold prob lems that crop up the course of running an institution as big as this. While it is futile to hope that any one of the entire membership of the Board which convenes in liarnsburg Friday and Sat urday can solve the mystery of the missing equipment, the Collegian is whistling into the wind' with a desire that some consider ation will be given to erecting a Student Union building on this campus. With the equipment problem almost en tirely out of the Board's power, at least until the next biennium, it is baldly ask ing too much to request the Trustees to turn a bit of their attention to another plan foi relieving inadequate facilities The plan is simple enough—it's a Stu dent Union building, frequently mentioned, but seldom in terms other than "too ex pensive' -- While the need for such a building is sufficiently apparent as previously stated in Collegian editorial columns, a problem arises in the possible financing methods. Therein lies a task for the Board. It is easy enough for the Collegian or anyone else to suggest means and manners for ac cumulating the needed funds, but it is not %o easy to unfold the various complications of accumtuiating. Alumni solicitation may be one way, or dinary bonds may be another. The Trus tees are in better positions to determine the i-pecific method In an event, some Phitus like Morgan or Rockefeller should be attracted to the campus beautiful of the Pennsylvania State College to view the need for a Student Un ion building. Indeed, to see the lack of social and rec reational facilities for thousands of stu- To see a building, originally intended to be a Student Union building, now pitifully overcrowded by classrooms and offices. To see a two-by-four office, actually a Part of the Athletic Association offices, representing Penn State's Student Union. And to see the possibility for more uni fied student-faculty relationships; adequate space for clubs, especially for the non-fra ternity man or woman; a center for social life; and a home for one of the strongest student governments in the country. If the power to attract such a God of Wealth to our campus rests anywhere, it should rest with the Board of Trustees. ADD WANTS ICE SKATING on the College tennis courts during the present sub-zero weather has been a welcomed activity. However, comments from a faculty mem ber whose home is in Ontario "where ev ery hamlet has its skating rink" have roached the editor's desk "It is my belief that an outdoor or open air rink here would be a disappointment three years out of four," the skating en thusiast observes, basing his statement on the fact that there are not sufficient per iods of cloudy weather to protect the ice surface during the day. "A covered rink might alleviate the si tuation," he says. True enough, and the Collegian is inter ested in a permanent ice arena.
