Now it is one of your many introductions to the College, and our introduction to you. In this special freshman issue, The Daily Col legian wants to do more than just present a pass ing review of Penn State; it wants to establish a bond between you, the incoming class, and the present student body. In' these pages it pictures a kaleidoscope of activities and customs which make up the student , life of the College, and es tablish what we like to call "Penn State tradi tion." You.. will soon become part of that tradition. Some day you will have a hand in .imparting to new classes the same information and spirit which we are trying to give you. Through you, your acts, and thoughts, Penn State will assume new character and form, as it has , always patterned itself after the students who comprise it. With this •in mind, here are a few suggestions which will aid you in getting better acquainted with the College, what it stands for, and what it expects of you. They are simple suggestions. By accepting them, you will start your college career in the right way. First of all, follow the Freshman Week program religiously. Freshman Week was planned and arranged by leading campus staff members and students—men and women deeply concerned with quickly adjusting the freshman to his new en vironment. All meetings and activities are de signed to assist you in learning to know Penn State. Secondly, don't allow yourself to become be wildered by the sudden transformation to a large, complex institution from a more closely-knit high school environment. • Ask questions. Penn State's "hello spirit" is not a myth, but you'll never realize it exists unless you join it. When in doubt about locations, cus toms—or anything else—don't hesitate to ask for information. Everyone will be glad to help. Finally, fall in line with the spirit of Freshman Week. Enjoy yourself! Get acquainted with as many of your fellow class members as you can. Make a point of knowing what is happening on the campus, and taxe an active interest in these affairs. The meaning and character of Penn State tradition will in this way become evident and self-explanatory. By all means, participate wholeheartedly in this preparatory week of adjusting yourself to the traits and whims of Nittany Lion tradition. Real ization of the College's personality—and because it is outwardly built of steel and cement and bricks, don't think that it doesn't have a person ality—will cause you to don your freshman dinks and hair-ribbons with a different attitude than you might have had before. . That is our.bit of advice. The Collegian salutes you, the class of 1945, and doffs its editorial clink to' the latest chapter of Penn State history. May it be a good one!

From the tip, tip top of this page way down, down, down tc. the ad in the middle, this column shouts out the idle whispers pruned from' many a secret bull session. Our every word is your command —we predict the future, we relive the 'past--we ad lib when times is tough. Throwed over lassies and rebounding lads beseech us for publicity.

That beautiful chalk white dome extending skyward and visible for miles around is not Old Main (center of . activity and home of George Don ovan) but the Water Tower wherein is stored water and football paraphernalia. 2. Ali Baba and his forty wolves say not "Open Sesame" but "5051" to open the sacred portals of the women's dormitory. 3. Men wear green dinks and black ties because the sophomores think they oughta because last year somebody made them because the year be fore that had to beca.use-well it all started ; when somebody et somepun' he shouldn't ,have and. had a bad dream or two.
