I•n, under the net of March 1. 1879 Tuesday, February 13, 1940 MEDIATOR fOR BETTER HEALTH AFTER A PERIOD of inactivity the Stu dent Health Board has been reorganved to continue as a much-needed mediator be tween the student body and the College Health Service Formed in May 1938 "in an effoi t to get the students point of view and to formulate practices to conform to the desn es of stu dents;" the Boaid aided the Health Service immeasurably last year Topping its achievements was the well developed 'hospitalization plan which was recently approved by the Board of Trus tees. Such a plan is a notable accomplish ment and one which will undoubtedly prove I eneficial to the student body. In addition to the hospitalization pi °vi sion, the group has conducted several worthy surveys in carrying out its initial purposes of creating constructive student criticism of the present Health Sei vice. Operating as a go-between, the Board assumes the grocery store slogan of "If you like our service tell your friends; if you don't like it tell us," as a basic theme in conducting its various campaigns. Every student has an opportunity to file complaints on the existing Sei vice, but it should be remembered that the Service cannot give its patients the treatment that the family doctor offers It can be readily understood that no de partment or organization can function without certain faults and evils. Perhaps our Health Service has them. 4.,, Yet if such faiths are not revealed by the persons who are affected by them, how can they be emedied? Each student should take advantage of this opportunity by offering his opinions The Student Health Board of last year deserves considerable credit for its enlight ening work, and the reorgamred group of this year should have the active encourage ment of every student to stimulate it to further worthwhile achievements STILL 'COW-COLLEGE'? At a cost of some millions of dollars of the taxpayers' money, the College is in pos •.ession of 11 beautiful new buildings— buildings which, it has i ightfully been asserted, should do much to ovei come the "cow-college" reputation Penn State has retained in some circles. Five of these buildings ai e being wholly 01 pai tly utili/ed this semester. All will he available, fully-equipped, in September. The State has kept faith with the Col lege Now, in the wise use and preserva tion of these buildings, it falls to the stu dent body to keep faith with the State. Carving initials in the shiny tops of new desks, dropping cigarettes to burn holes in the floor, rioting and breaking windows— these are evidence that Penn State students are still in the "cow-college" era Not until students take a pi ide in the preset vation of College property and Col lege reputation can this College escape the backwoods stigma. Next Spring the new buildings will be inspected by State officials from Harris burg Will they find a new and gteater 'Penn State—or will they find a bunch of beautiful bthldings rapidly depreciating by an unappreciative student body?
