Popp '43 Graduate Counselor Louis IL Bell Saturday Morning, April 26, 1941 For A Better Penn State —And, Goodbye The last editorial should be the easiest, but it The first column was hard because it loomed so big and there was so much uncertainty about what to say. At the last there is so much to say and so little space to say it. There are all the campaigns, successful and unsuccessful, finished and unfinished, just as im portant as ever but demanding a mile of space and therefore out altogether... There is a certain sadness at leaving a job which has been so close for a year, but even louder is they aching desire to move on, to try sometting else. There is a very personal sum total of heart breaks, errors of omission and errors of commis ::;on, successes, and accomplishment now melted together into an educational experience exceed ingly worthwhile. • Whatever Collegian did in the past 12 months was predicated on an honest desire to build a bet ter Penn State. "For a Better Penn State" was its motto and by that motto -it determined its actions albeit they were sometimes right and sometimes v.;rong. For our readers' indulgence, thanks. But what looms important now? What looms most important now are none of those things past, worthless, except as they give us .pleasure or help in the future. To us. as-students, it is the future that matters. The Collegian itself must profit by these 12 months,. profiting from the lessons of its first months as a daily, recognizing its shortcomings, Dever forgetting it potentialities, building always in that direction. The student body must face an uncertain future with imagination and daring that may help. over come at least some of the troubles society has brought crashing down over its head. 'The College must help in every way possible, doing its best to help its individual students find some right way, and giving its 'utmost resources to a •nation which now has chosen its dangerous course for better or worse. We must play our desperate game boldly and intelligently. Above all, in a future bound to bulge with.dis pppointment, we must keep track of a further fu ,ture ,beyond our present uncertainty. . There will be a day when men regain their ,senses, when they will step back and survey the scene their selfishness has made, when they will The ready to start over. Now is not too soon to that day. If we can keep it in -mind through any storm to come, even the darkest hours will have some brightness. • . Whgt a note to end a year on! But there is one consolation. We did not make these troubles. We were too young. It would le nice to hope that we could right them.

"Rider Was the Chaplin esque laughingstock of the world and the Editor rf the Collegian was vigorously ridiculing the arm ed forces of the nation, especially the Penn. State ROTC: The name of Alf Landon was blowing away over the prairies with the latest dust stoma and the champ was still champ. Hermione Hunt was the queen of the Campus and Fritz was King of the Rathskellar. Bob Crowell was president of the freshman class and Pappy Bartholomew was still chopping down trees at Mont Alto. Billy Soose was the THE house and Connie Smith.was set to live happily ever after with Tommy Harris. and Jack Kennon was the political-phenomenon. Four long years ago, England was the Country that played us for a sucker in the first Wbrld War and Wilikie was a .hated utilities man. The guy who took advanced ROTC was a sucker or a heel and beer plus women were the keynotes of rush ing. The Independent .party was a pawn kicked back and forth between the Locust Lane and Fra ternity cliques and newspapers were blasting Roosevelt for building a;big navy. Solly Miehoff was on his way to being Collegian's first Outstand ing Senior and draft was something you Moved away from. JOhnny Barr was the one thing we won from Cornell and South America was the for gotten man. Lindh Lew And Earle Lindbergh was in Europe watching war 'brew and Pitt was the hottest thing in football. It' was matter of conjecture as to which stunk the most, Mr. Ebert's manure or Froth. Eddie Wagner was learning the ropes under able politico Ross 'Shaf fer and Coach .Higgins .was saying for the first and only time, "this is the year:" John L. Lewis was the White Hope of Labor and, Hedy LaMarr was still abroad in -Austria. Joe Stalin was making faces at A. Hitler (much to - the satisfaction of the English) and Bergin and McCarthy were dodging tomatoes in vaudeville. Even "nice" coeds went to the Rathskellar and Governor Earle was doing his $5.000,000 bit for. "A Better Penn State." Baird, Pin And 5051 Four long years ago. Don Dixon was the pride of the Thespians and they still had rat races on Allen Street. 5051 had yet to rise up from the Jor dan fertility plots and the Alpha Fire Company I.layed Bingo to pass the time. Bob Baird was a fledgling CIO prexy and the .army was in Hawaii. See You in The Army Four long years ago. We were only a freshman and didn't have a friend or an -enemy at Penn State. We weren't mad at nobody, and brethren and cistern, we still AIN'T MAD AT NOBODY. Love and Kisses, KEELER'S ANNUAL ANNIVERSARY Book Sala Hundreds of Books On All Sub jects At Reduced Prices.
