TALKING BUSINESS
CONSIDERABLE COMMENT has been
spread concerning the change of the Penn
sylvania State College to the Pennsylvania
State Univei city It has not been a passing
thought for such a change undoubtedly
wia occur
When? 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.

Startzel Plastered Again!
Silence reigned in Mitch's Comm 17 class in
305 LA Thursday morning—a silence broken only
by the droning of the aforesaid Mitch (Linotyp
ist—please avoid typographical errors in this par
agraph, you playful fellow') In the rear of the
zoom dived Ned Staitzel and George Parrish,
cneaming of whatever two-thirds of the Three
Stooges would dream about
Suddenly a big piece of plaster dropped from
the ceiling of McClosky's Folly, smack-bang on
top of Startzel's head. "I don't know whether
you're scaled m not, but I am," yelled Mitch on
the way out, thus letting a claw out early for
the first time in years

PRESIDENTIAL COURTESY: Senior prey
Dave Pergr:n had a table for two reserved at the
Dry Dock Saturday night At least he thought he
did No sooner had he and his shadow become
comfortably settled at what they thought was
their table when another couple came along,
showed' them reservation stubs, and ousted them
From table to table the presidential party went,
and from table after table they were ejected
Pinall,j , Dick Haskell, Ed Hall's assistant in charge
of reservations, found them a spot behind a pillar
A feature of this week's session of the Dry Dock
will be a properly decorated Presidential Box
By the way, George Gittelson, half, of the froth
wit, was called upon to emcee Pergrin and party
probably were thanking fate for the pillar.

A glowing tribute' to the' devot
ed and loyal women in white who
patio" the hospitals of the world,
"Vigil in the Night," screen ver
sion of the sensational novel by
Dr A J. Cronin, of "The Citadel"
fame will be shown at the State
,Theatre tomorrow and Thursday.
I , : greater part fif its
stirring a bori taking place in two
English hospitals during' the
months just preceding the current
war, the story presents Carole
Lombaid as a loyal nurse of high
ideals, Brian Aherne as an hu
manitarian doctor, and Anne Shir
ley 'as Miss Lombard's younger
sister, a student nurse tempera
mentally unsuited to her profes
sion
"A striking departure from her
well-remembered comedy charac
terizations, Miss Lombard's por
trayal of the self-sacrificing angel
of mercy ranks as one of the most
compelling dramatic interpreta
tions ever offered on' the screen,"
says one reviewer
In addition to "Vigil .in the
Night," the State Theatre will pre
sent another Robert Benchley's
