Life Itself—Do We Wanit

Of all the College matters facing those who are

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

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.

Swan Song
There comes a time in the existence of every
so-called. collegiate columnist when he faces the
distressing prospect of seeing himself-in print (ah
ecstacy!) for the last time.
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.

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. . .
