THE PENDULUM SWINGS
"IT IS TOWARD the future that the Col
legianas a newspaper in the newspaper
.erise of the word=will steer."
that was the written promise made by
the 1939-40 managing board as it took over
the controls last May Throughout this
3 ear it has encleavcired to early out the pi o
gi am of action which was involved in ac
complishing that _promise.
In the year that has passed many events
have occurred that have reshaped the fu
ture history of this College. An era of ed
ucational expansion has been symbolized by
the mei eased em ollment and the comple
tion of eleven new buildings
The first year of a more iepiesentative
student governmental mganization has
brought an unbelievable undeistanding be
tween administiation, faculty, students,
and townspeople
A two-fisted editorial attack against the
football system, mishaps, tragedy and epi
demics have fallen into the whirlpool of
levelry following a successful year—suc
ce.sful with football victories, ovei flowing
school spirit, state-wide student govern
ment convention, intercollegiate boxing vie
trry, debate fee split, hospitalization plan,
and faculty rating by the students
The Collegian, not only recording these
facts for the future, initiated the most pi o
gi essive mechanical changes in its history
—streamlined makeup, modernized type,
and better coverage of women's news
Such achievements have boosted the
Penn State Collegian high among the na
tion's student newspapers.
THE PENDULUM now swings again.
No longer is the Collegian to be a semi
weekly news publication Next September
the Penn State Collegian becomes a daily
paper and lakes it place beside the great
daily papers of other great institutions.
Much has been accomplished in recent
years as a semi-weekly, but much is yet to
to he clone And the °ppm tufty to achieve
these undone tasks is one hunched percent
p eater with a daily publication
As the pendulum swings and the growth
of - the College has been instrumental in the
change to a daily, the field is wide open for'
the new managing board to cover
TAKING OVER the controls by an in
coming managing board is not an easy task.
But the new hoard has new and greater
territories in winch, to head and in which
to perform the prime function of collegiate
journalism—acting as an intermediary, a
binding web of reciprocal veins in the dy
!labile drama of college life.
With the yearly change in guidance there
has always come a yearly change in direc
tion—each staff presents a new editorial
'policy.
But each board must deal with the policy
of bettering the future of Penn State and
to solve the remaining difficulties along
that -path—and to do so unselfishly and
unflinchingly.
OLD MANIA
And so I set me down to do the job I'd do
anything in my power to avoid—This is my swan
song' .
I'm wilting it in the woi id's loneliest spot—

I was getting awfully sentimental, and that the

WE WOMEN
By HELEN L. CAMP. Women's Editor
Once again, Collegian mai ches on Once again, an old staff moves
out and a new one moves in. And„once again, it is time to take stock
and say a few last but fai from famous voids
It's a great life—this pseudo-journalistic world of knor - ving a lot
of people slightly and few people well, of working bard for the heck
of it and skipping work for the fun of it.
I'll miss it, too—just as I'll miss Penn State. I'll mis'. the campus
and the thousands of other students, miss beirig lost in this little woi Id
all our own, miss being isolated and protected [tom a big bad civiliza
tion with its strikes and crimes and wars
It's like putting away a favorite toy that I've vecome too old to
play with But that time must come with every toy: and Collegian is
no exception College on a wider scale and.l Collegian on a smaller ong
are at the most Interludes; to prolong them would only be to deli act
Dom them.
The past yea' has been one of changes foi our women's staff, and
the next year promises even mine Women have worked in the print
ohop this year, they have taken issue and expel invented with make up
and headlines, they have had women's pages, more space, and bate'
cooperation from the, men And, what is more important, they have
stalled to crawl out of their "coedits" corner and see how a Collegian
is Jenny made
Cut this is only the beginning There ate many things befoie the
Collegian and the Collegian's women—things we ha've all, wished and
worked for Next year, thole will be a daily paper with a women's
page full of women's news There will be space lot news now rele
gated to the waste basket or, at best, the galleys There will be a com
bination of men's and women's staff for better and fairer-Journalism
Theie'will be added features, departments, and mote extensive organ
iiation All of these things will unfold as Collegian matches on
As a final word, before I stop to join the ranks of the has-beens
and catch up on three years of lost sleep, I want to thank Collegian—
thank it fat the experience, for the training, and tin the development
But, most'of all, I want to thank it for the fun and foi the memories,
A lot of things I leave undone But there will be others to do
them and other years to do them in And any advice I could give
would be only to repeat Don't do as I did, but do a , . I wish I had
done.

newest technique is to play in
close—not to run around the ball
so much " She illustrated this in
her clinic and exhibition matches
