Fuss Graduate' Counselor _ Friday, September 26, 1941 Your Penn Stale " For years the College has been searching for someone who could write a comprehensive his tory of Penn State in a clear, interesting style which would read interestingly to students and facility alike. • "Your Penn State," written and pUblished this aurnmer by A. R. Warnock. deem of men_ fills the long-awaited order. . grounded in a true, background of Penn State history, outlined in a graphic and picturesque presentation of Nittany tradition,,the small book let should become the pocket edition of every Penn State student. • • Students who know little of Penn State' and its wealth of experiences can get an idea in two hours reading of the transition from a small land grant college to a large Collegiate institution with an enrollment of more than 7,000 students. Only after reading a history like this can a student understand his College as more than buildings of stone and brick—but an institution of trial and error, good breaks and disappoint ments, sweat and hard work, and . many. sleepless Nights for past College "prexies." What has been pictured in the land grant mural in Old Main lobby has been supplemented by Dean Warnock's adventure :Into the little known recesses of Penn State tradition. Here is the life-story of, thousands of Penn State students—good, bad, and Indifferent. Put it on yom : "must" list. On Ifs Way Back We watch with interest the reorganization of the IMA. Bogging down last year after it had established itself the year before as a solid repre sentative of Independent men, the new IMA council has 'started out early to counteract the had impressions and uselessness which dogged' its -Steps. The IMA last year lost most of its Members, promoted no programs for Independent organf ranks until,a mere shamble of its . ' proposed struc ture begged for existence. However, under tin leadership of a new, ener •getic council, the IMA promises to again regain its place as a representatiVe of the independent men of Penn State. If it receives the confidence of its units and strikes out in a constructive man ner toward a closely-knit group similar to the IFC, the IMA can once again buome the "voice of the Independents." We watch with interest; but we haven't remov ed the tongue from 9 ui- cheek. We Jump into 'The Frying Pan Letters to the editor will again become a wel come feature of The Daily Collegian.

Hungr - Look." The 13ullosopher' in his socking chair is a lois , old geht who uses sarcastic humor, with Smithers as his verbal foil. Smithers, my gallant fellow, what's troubling you this day? SMithersf Well, it's really nothing serious, 'sir. But . . . Well, I couldn't shave this morning, and it's disturbed me somewhat. What brought about this' lack of attention to the• Smithers' complexion, old fellow? Smithers: Why, I couldn't get any hot water, Sthithers, my suggestive tarantula, you. touch upon a subject which amuses me no end, " and irritates me likewise. I was reading volume 38, number 1 of this paper—the introductory issue this year—and .noted that the housing .inspection of rooming houses was -to be delayed. Ever since I came here as a freshman, and ended up in a little garret, hopefully. believing that this was real "college- freedom," this inspection has been threatened.. This committee has bedn going to clean up this situation for so long that it doesn't even seem funny to the Thespians anymore. Meanwhile the college enrollment has increased, employees for national defense projects are be- ginning to flood the twon, and students continue to line up at the college dispensary for ailments traceable to poor health conditions in their col lege homes. Smithers: How ghastly, sir! Yes, you're right, old top, but it's nobody's skeleton in nobody's closet. It's a funny way the social system of this land operates, but if Dr. Mack and Dr. Ritenour move in on the town folks —presto—rents go up. It won't hit the college hot dogs because they're mostly fraternity lads. Smithers: If you'll pardon my •PreSumption, sir, but why doesn't-someone do something about this? Well, my jolly ball pin hammer, you've struck it right on the nose. Something's got to be done by somebody, it would seem. College officials have been- batting away on this angle for a num ber of years now, and have it figured'Ont down tb the last college dormitory, but that's away off in the future. You know, it was the students wno started -- all this suss in me ,nrst, They demanded a rooming house committee, and , to do in their favorite college' newspaper. • Smithers: BteWhat can the students do? Well, it seems like this to me, Smithers. A fellow has two ends-in life: one to sit on and one to think with. His. aceiiniplishnientS . deperid: On which one he uses most. Heads he wins; tails he loses! • . . Sinithers: Haw! . • You may chuckle,. my whimsical oaf, but the sooner the students on 'this campus find - out that to every start there's sup Posed: to be a finish, and that they must get in there andhelp : the College solve" the problem, the sooner verdant frosh' are going to stop straining their eyes under insuffi cient illumination, and lining up to get washed, as if they .were buying movie tickets. • \ A . 1 H.- S .US.Qa. 1..._:.:- ' , . • •..-.: ~.. ~....:. •,...... , ~ .... . . . . .. .-- -".• - :-, ' The Cornet.
