No one knows. Numerous political and legal entangle ments in revising the chaitei of the College have delayed action frequently With large-scale expansion contemplated in the revision of the charter, it appears logical to consider taking steps toward in ternal expansion. Foi several years the hope for a separate School of Business Administration has been prevalent on this campus Pioneered by Delta Sigma Pi, professional fi atermty in business administration, plans for an addi tional School of this specific type have been revived by this year's organization In advocating a separate School of Busi ness Administration in pi eference to the present two years of "Lower Division" and two years of "Commerce and Finance," it ,s but a simple procedure to enumerate sev eral outstanding "pro" arguments: I—The present student enrollment in the Commerce and Finance curriculum is more than adequate for a separate School. Approximately 30 per cent of the students in the School of Liberal Arts are either in that curriculum or -Have indicated their desire to he in it after the first two years. - 2—'l he four-year plan of business training outnumbers the two-year plan two to one, according to the 42 members of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. —A separate School with four years of business subjects would permit more diversification of business studies, per mitting "majors" in certain fields and offering a better balanced knowledge of business subjects .I—Opportunities for employment upon graduation would be increased by the installation of a separate School as com panies usually contact a School of Busi ness Administration in preference to a business curriculum in a Liberal Arts School. s—Four of the larger institutions in Penn sylvania —University of Pittsburgh, University of Pennsylvania, Lehigh Un iversity and Temple University have highly-successful separate Schools of Business Administration. True enough, a few arguments against the proposed separation may be advanced, but the Collegian views that opposition as being unsatisfactory Not only would the benefits of this addi tional School aid business training in the College, but the School of Liberal Arts would also benefit. It would then have ample opportunity to expand its present facilities for liberal and cultural education. At present the question remains "Is it wise to place a two-year hurdle of Liberal Arts subjects for the business student to jump before obtaining his desire?" Existing conditions overshadow the prac tical viewpoint of training for a practical business world Hours are wasted in side tracking students with courses required by the whims of well-meaning culturists As a specific example, is it not questionable how much foreign language can be accumu lated in twelve required credits? No particular department or no indivi dual professor is at fault. The fault lies in not giving business "majors" an opportun ity to be business "majors." Under a School of Business Administra tion this haphazard formulating of courses would be eliminated The curriculum would be loosened and Penn State's future busi nessmen could compete on an equal basis With those of now prominent institutions. 'And it would not be long until Penn State's School - of Business Administration would be prominent.
