PiTnnmrince Editor This Issue A.asistant Managing Editor. d..gmvs Editor This Issue Women's Editor This Issue Graduate Counselor Monday, January 26, 1942 A New Order So long! We fling a final farewell to those Penn State students who leave us at the end of this semester. They have seen a Penn State in transition and they have become part of that transition. Some of them have cut short their collegiate carder to enter Uncle Sam's armed forces; others have entered munitions factoriies and defense indus i ..I.iries: a few have been graduated. We not only say goodby to those who are leav ng, but we bid farewell to a Penn State that has f;uddenly lost its tradition. We. say goodby to an Orderly, well-conducted Penn State and hesitantly. usher in a topsy-turvy, fast-moving schedule of Ovents. The. next few months for the class of 1942 will sbe a picture of action, of speed, of high-geared studies and streamlined courses. Where profes ti.ors had timed their courses to a semester sche dule, they now will be forced to rush their teach- . • . 3.4 . 1 g to complete their courses two weeks earlier. The Penn State in transition has thrown aside , its old apron • strings and has stripped for action. Mid-year graduates did not have any graduation *xiercises; it was considered too expensive for so cmall a group. The question of graduation cere: • 4knonies in May is still unanswered. Those who leave this year will be able to boast of themselvles as the class of 1942, but from there , on, classes will disappear into the maze of the collegiate production line. Two classes will traduate in 1944, and later on, freshmen may be Azidmitted not only in the first semester, but the 13econd semester as well. . . No longer will the compact, collegiate spirit, )3.0w prevalent in classes, be evident.• Penn State will emerge from the traditional grouping of clas versonality to the "stagger system" where there i.r . ! no class entity or class unity. Where, hereto fore, a class, was considered a unit of Penn State .life, it will now be nothing but a lost meaning, a !forgotten personality. So we say goodby to old traditions, those which were stable. We say goodby to part of a claSs which is part of an old order, part of a past we kike to remember, want to continue, but which Inust be sacrificed to the god of war and, what i . _;ome may say, progress. We salute the end of an era, and the beginning of another. We say goodby to those who knew what the old era was like and now are tasting the ifirst dregs of the new era. Good luck, and so long! The Book Exchange Our tongues are in our cheeks again! The annual Student Book Exchange, which sav ed students money every year, will not be held This semester because of the lack of room space. This reason does not hold water. There is neither room Here on campus or down town for such an enterprise, especially when the mice of books has rocketed with the war infla rion. What we want to know is this. if students need the Student Book Exchange . 11»s year, more than ever before, if the book ex ch,,:tge could save more money than at any other Ilmv, if room space has not been available, why o.las there been no appeal to All-College Cabinet or other agencies for aid? To date, theft , has 'been 7ione. We want to know what has been done, not, supposedly, can't be done. Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St Phone 4372 _ David Samuels .___ Robert M.

We will not at tempt to assume the breezy journalese of Win chell nor take on the suave sophisticated style of E. B: White of "New Yorker" fame. We will be our plain everyday self._ . 2. To give credit to those to whom credit is due—and who do not receive their rightful share of it. • 3. To slam those stinkers who need a severe shook to re-awaken them from their self-imposed lethargy. 4. To print all the news that we see fit. to print—stopping short "of the pornographic.

He's knocking himself out these days •• combating priorities, especially shortages .in paper.. You know, the paper used behind the frosted glass doors. It seems that the mills have stopped mak ing the cabinet type, and Mr. Loman doesn't want to resort to the old fashioned rolls. Imagine their fates when our inventive engineers and liberal artists get their hands on them. Our campus will never look the same anymore. Miss Fall—manager of the Sandwich Shoppe— whose ouota of cokes and pop has been, cut 35 per cent. Now our boys and girls will find that the local creamery puts out some damn good milk —arid it even tastes fairly decent.
