A Welcome And Advice
"Hi, Frosh!"
You will hear this greeting many times this
year. 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!

As green as the hills of Killarney
As fresh as Mt. Nittany dew
As suave as "Success Tips" can make one
We salaam, '4sers, to you!
WE
And forthwith let it be understood that this is
our one, our only, our homage to. you. 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.
Fraternity brothers bribe—then club—us ' into
hush-ups for their secret affaires de coeur.
We are hated, we are feared, we are threatened,
but we are read ! !
To You From Failing Hands We Throw
And with that brief introduction of ourselves
as others see us, we shall launch. out upon a few
tricks of the trade which old and wizened seniors
are supposed traditionally to inflict upon their
successors. .0.4441115
1. 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. But yours not to reason why,
of no, yours but to do—or wear a dapper skirt
and a bird cage helmet for a week or two.
Beer, Beauties, And Breakfast
4. Freshman coeds must sport ever-so-large
name cards so all the men, with or without their
glasses,. can be sur'. Makes for ..easier, getting
acquainted. The "Hello Spirit" we call it.
5. A chap by the name of Dogwood (Doggie)
Alexander operates an establishment known as
the All-American Rathskellar popular haunt of
all the males and as many of the coeds who have
the courage to brave the dangers. And them who's
been drafted will soon enough be Araughted.
And may—
God rest ye merry gentlemen
And would-be coeds too,
For only He and we can know
What you're about to do!
