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.

THE BUILOSOPHER'S CHAIR
Editor's Note: This may be the first and last Bullosopher's
Chair column, according to the comment received — on this
possible successor' to "The' Lean and•.. 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.
