PA FO , aging Editor Tiliti LiSU Fe'litor This Issue - Ettif47: Th Graduate Counselor Thursday Morning, April 24, 1941 Life Itself—Do We Wanit To forsake Ili Of all the College matters facing those who are undergraduates_ today, the one to affect us most). directly five or :six years from now, after we have left College, is the success of the new Alumni As- soeiation membership plan A struggling Association of less than 2,000 mem bers, the Association is potentially our strongest Lond with Penn State if its student membership Bolicitation is successful. With an active and large membership. the Asso ciation could he for all Penn State alumni a real. means of continuing all the friendshipS, contacts, and experiences that make college one of the hap piest stages of life. College, after all, is more than preparation for life. It is life itself. If it has been a good part of life, it should be continued as long as possible and That is one of the best arguments for an Alumni Association membership, For an Alumni Association membership to be worthwhile to any of us, all of us must have one. One man in an alujuni association would hardly find it a continuing contact with the college—but 100 from his class would. Those 100 would have each other to renew the days which were some of their best-loved. That is why-it is important that the coming ex perimental student membership drive should be a success. If it is, the Association will finally have found an effective way of building up its mem bership to the size necessary or effective action. The present system offers a five-year member ship, effective on gradtiation, for eight dollars, ktss than the cost of the Alumni News. Foresight Las determined this low price. Most graduates for lack of time and money lose contact with the College during their first five years out. When they do get the time and their salaries are a bit higher, they wake up to the fact that they've been out so long they've lost all contacts with the Col lege and it with• them. When an alumnus makes that discovery, he's likely to forsake the College for good. The present plan is aimed at keeping him in the Alumni Association during the dangerous period when he is most likely to be lost. After five years, it is reasoned, he will be able to pay regular aj.ur.n ni dues, and he will probably be anxious to be cause of his continuing interest in the college. Such is the philosophy of the membership wit: paign about to begin, and such are its advantages to the undergraduates it will seek to sign up. The advantages to the College itself are even greater because one of the first functions of an alumni Pssociation is to serve its college. Doluini.A L. G>lua *43 D. Olkein ________EmirL.

To break it to you as gently as possible, this is the last and positively final colyum with which we, as the Campuseer, will insult your intelligence and blacken your reputations. With no particular fanfare and scarcely a mixed drinking party to •celebrate the event, we are herewith putting our tail between our legs and slinking silently back into private life. Au Reservoir . . We had plenty of -the usual spicy (?) stuff for this week's effort. We could have played up the "Johnny Barr plus Jo Condrin equals Connie Smith minus SAE pin" equation. We could have printed the nasty things Alpha foundation-savers say when called out to battle raging matchstick fires. Then we could have told how the State College hotel detective rescued Sally Miller from a horri ble fate Sunday night and how Bud Smyser— thanked the Junior Board for their cooperation and who was Emily Cuffs current love, and - - Carl and . (Censored.) From Our Diary We thought our first column (topic: sex) was pretty hot stuff until ye editor got a letter from a newspaper man in Harrisburg asserting that di ivel like ours was what made college papers stink. Our chief claim to fame is that we outlasted "Collegiana," George Schenkein-edited doit col yam (do we look proud?) Upstart columns come and go, but the Campuseer lives on. We received numerous favorable comments throughout the year. chiefly from the junior We have it on good authority that there is a large sign in a certain campus sorority to the effect that we are black. A viewpoint shared by numerous individuals, some of whom have un kindly classified us as closely related to a certain fm-bearing striped animal. Happy Ending Nevertheless, we have gotten - a terrific kick (almost literally true) out of our weekly expedi tion into sub-literary and anti-social realms. To Our Readers In conclusion, I should like to thank you both for your sincere interest and support. Passing (But Telling).Nole The Interfraternity Ball financial report made last night leads to interesting comparisons. Attendance and income were approximately the same in both 1940 and 1941. The band this year cost $1,200, last year $l,lOO (although it was re ported at $1,200). This year. Interfraternity Coun cil received a profit of over $7OO. Last year it re ceived one dollar! Last year's report, - incidentally, did not mention any checking income, a sizeable sum this year. "The greatest contribution any university can make to the national defense program is to do its regular job even better than it has done it before. It may adapt its p3•ogram, curriculum and services to meet the special .demands , of the times, but this adaptation should not throw the normal program out of balance or adjustment." Views of Wayne University's Executive Vice President David D. Henry on the new duties of higher education. "There is no sound reason why young men of draft age as a group should be permitted to defer their military service simply because they happen to be students. in Oh institution Of• higher educa tion. Special provision for all college students as a group is contrary to sound public policy, and is contrary to the best interests of educational insti tutions i nthe long run." The committee' on mili tary affairs of the National Association of State Universities advocated army duty for most col legions. "In Europe, even as in this country now, loyal ties to family, region and church thinned out and were replaced by one huge national loyalty. This one of the causes of Europe's present state." Harry B. Gideonse, president of Brooklyn College, sees the lack of private loyalties as a serious draw back to the United States. . .
