We Make Our Editorial Debut
As the new senior board of The Daily Collegian
takes over the editorial reins for next year, it en
counters a student body which appears more har
assed and uncertain of its future than" any other
group since 1917.
At this time, another great world crisis is fac
ing the students of Penn State and the long fin
gers' of dissension and controversy have reached
into Penn State campus life and again threaten
to take hold and change the aspect of student
thought and behavior.
What - then shalt be the editorial policy of The
Daily Collegian? Shall we take a stand upon the
national and international situation which con
cerns each one of us? • Shall we determine who is
right and who is wrong? Shall we blaspheme and
conduct campaigns against the inner factions of
Y.ational and economic groups for their guiding the
world of todav9
Our answer must be no. We cannot mop up the
knternational wranglings or compete with experts
)who differ on many major points in attempting to
Acolve the economic or political problems which
puzzle us,
Temporary campaigns and issues, which are set
tip as a standard bearer, soon fade and disappear
wider the forever changing conditions of the pres
ent day. We cannot pledge to support something
which has lost its savor or will be outmoded to=
morrow, Rather, we must choose a more consist
ent scope. Our editorial policy must be flexible
and unlimited enough to permit us to make deci
sions as situations change and issues about face. It
cannot be confined.
Thus, deserting the traditional platform of the
past, we simply assert, "The Daily Collegian will
represent the voice of the student. Realizing our
limitations, but upholding our right of critical
opinion, we will fearlessly and frankly discuss
those issues which bear upon -students as stud
ents."
Out of our backyard of campus relationships
and contacts, we intend to interpret, express, and
lead student thought along avenues which hub on
student interest, activity, and future. If we be
lieve we are right, we will hit hard. If we are
wrong, we will admit our error. Our mistakes may
he plenty, our policies varied, but we will be con
sistent in one thing: we will present. a student out
look with no attempt to outguess the expert,. They
do enough guessing themselves.
Prompted by the present uncertainty and bound
Ly a dark future, we will consider it our duty to
analyze a little more judiciously, dare to do with
a bit more imagination, and looks .to the future
with a little more youthful enthusiasm. •
What shall we praise tomorrow? What shall we
attack? What side shall we take? We don't
know! But one thing is certain. Dispelling the
adage that a new broom sweeps clean, we will
cling to a simple action-provoking keynote adopt
ed last year. It asserts, "For A Better Penn State."
"It has been well said of universities that they
Are among the true immortals. They have out
lived nations and forms of government. Their
task is essentially the undramatic and long-range
task of diffusing light and leading among man
kind. Without them democracies are crippled.
They are themselves as integral a part of the na
tional defense as our arms and soldiers. They deal
with the ideals which we must defend and all that
strengthens them strengthens the foundations of
democracy itself." Harry Woodburn Chase.
chancellor of New York University, sees the uni
versities as beacons in times of distress.

To Whom It May Concern
Gene Wettsone: You did a fine job on the third
All-College circus. It would take a whole issue to
recognize the creditable performances. of all of the
200 or more participants, but they certainly de;
serve a hand. (The visiting strong men act was
the only thing Campy objected to . . . After "Mr.
America" John Grimack twitched his big mus
cles for the audience, Campy couldn't get near his
date fo rtwo hours. Hmm. Now Where did 1 put
that set of dumbells?
Professor Klassen: Please be careful when you
take your class on its annual tour of Northeastern
Penitentiary. Don't forget what happened -last
year. After the group of Penn State men and
women had completed the tour, the warden said
to you, "Remember 'that young fellow in tier 3
that looked like a movie actor? Well, we had td
put him in solitary confinement after he saw the
coeds." (Campy was truly amazed when he found
that Penn State coeds could do anything like that
to a man . . . but all is explained I.Vhen the war
den tellS us that the galS were the first thing in
skirts and sweaters the - unfortunate. chap had seen
in three years.
Mr. Roosevelt: Campy (and a few thousand
other upstarts in the U.S.) would like to know why
the heck the War Department ordered 4,500,000
identification tags for, war dead and wounded.
Why do you expect to have at least 4,500,000 men
under arms in the near future? And while you're
at it, tell us why_a certain shipbuilding yard is at
the present time constructing troop transport ships
25 fast as they can be turned out.
Better Late
"Goober" Marvin, as his econ students affec
tionately call him, bustled into his classroom with
the bluebook that he .had promised his under
studies. After distributing the ominous looking
sheets to the class and urging them to "get start
ed." he discovered that he had the wrong class.
He was an hour late.

Appropriation *ln Senate
(Continued from Page One)
• The delay is practiced with all
major appropriations -to give the
Governqr extra time to consider
them, If he gets a bill less than
10 days before the end of -the
session, he has 30 days after
wards to act on it. During the
session he 'must act in 10 days.
As it now stands, • the bill
would provide the College with
the exact appropriation it a5ked—
55,509,046. This is . $1,134,046
more than the • $4,375,000 re
commended by Governor James.
Even though passed by the Leg
islature, • the. appropriation can
still be revised downward by the
Governor.
