For more than a half century, Penn State has seen the Collegian grow. Springing from the email, insignificant Free Lance that wa-s launched in 1887, the Collegian has closely paralleled the striking growth of the College itself. Unlike the College, however, the Collegian has undergone a constant change in personnel. ' Each year a new staff moves into the front of itice. Each year, new contacts must be made with .the administration; new policies must be formed. iDespitte this wholesale turnover, little change has •occurred ‘in the general makeup of the paper. .Instead, the Collegian has passed on from master to apprentice. Its (editorial policy has never been subject to ■the censorship of or under the control of the Col lege administration, and under the present setup, the Collegian will always uphold this standard. 'lf the paper’ is to maintain its leadership in cam jjus activities, and by doing so, realize definite benefits for the students, then the editor must •choose sides. On the basis of his own judgment, he must work for one or the other. He cannot Bit on the fence, and furthermore, he will not. Editors of the past realised “that we cannot 'hope to mop up the international wramglings or compete with the political experts who differ on many major points in the economic setup of the governments of the world.” The Collegian has •never been able to save a small world, or a big one—and it never will. In other words, the Col legian will not attempt to step in and verbally clean up any crisis in which the trained political experts are floundering. ' Instead, there is more than enough to keep Penn State ’busy in a practical way. The acceL ‘e rated study plan, which is one of the College’s big contributions to America's war efforts, will probably have several slight flaws that may be altered if and when the students and the admin istration agree that a change is necessary. With the Collegian acting as a mouthpiece for opinions, necessary alterations can be realized. Last weekend, a good example of this problem developed on campus when nearly 75 per cent of the students participated in a mass cut. The administration decrded that there would be no Easter holiday, but the students took the initia tive and many went home on Friday and Satur day. As a result, classes continued for the few who remained on campus, and there was a defin ite waste of time, money and effort. This waste would not be tolerated on production lines, or in 'Che armed forces of the country. On the other hand, students thought that the short break in the accelerated grind of studies would be of benefit and that greater efficiency would be attained upon return from the vacation. Which party was right? ' Now, the problem has passed, but it is bound to turn up again before tire College returns to a normal basis. When the situation does arise the jif\t time, the Collegian will put its force behind a movement to have the students and the ad ministration reach some agreement. The paper may side witli tire administration, or it may side with tire students, but above all. tire Collegian will act as a mouthpiece through which better ..lrliustments may be made. ft is onlv through nrshing certain adjustment? Robert M. Faloon Donald L. Webl Helen R. Keefauvei ..-Louis H. Bek THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Looking around for a name for this, our new est brain-child, we dusted off an old powder keg down in the cellar and brought .it out into the light of day. Mahy will be the persons who will earn a free ride oh top of the barrel as rewards for their deeds. Our purpose throughout the year, or until the draft gets us, will be to help mold a better Penh State, if we have to go through hell, high water, and a mass of libel.suits to do it. ti< After signing our death warrant with a feeble hand, we’re going to jump off the deep end and say that we looked with frowning eyes at the Board of Trustees when it rejected the three class mural plan? Maybe it won’t make any difference if we do cry a feeble protest, but we’re crying because there is a way in which the plan could work. At the risk if incurring the wrath of our bosses, the trustees, we’ll put it on paper. It seems that the gentlemen on the board have disappointed us no end when wfe were trying to get more and more prestige for Penn State. They object that only the treasury of the class of 1942 is available at the present time. That’s a good point. They also say that the probable decrease in en rollment for the next term would endanger the plan, for each class must contribute $5,000 or more to the original contract. That’s a point that can hardly be overlooked. But stand back, gentlemen, because we have a plan too. We think that the plan can still work. - After scanning .the Interclass Budget sys tem, we got the idea in spite of the jumble of figures that even we could understand. Every year each Penri State male’ pays a $4.80 assessment and each coed pays $3. These fuhds amount to approximately ss,oidff annually. Well,, hy the time that everyone at the ■ helm of the controlling clique gets his hands in the gravy, bowl after foiir years, there’s about $5,000 left to speftd for’ a class gift. ; . Assessments ahe generally used up each year in running the class'until it comes to the' senior year at which time everyone gets sentimental and spurns his share of thie graft in favor of a lasting tribute to his Alma Mater. That’s the way we used to-be able to finance a class gift. But what about all the profits that are made from the dances? Surely someone or some clique is getting the benefit of the profits. And when we need money, we naturally look up the profits. Now don’t get us wrong. We can still give the class officers and chairmen of events their de serving compensations, but let’s not be hoggish about it. We’re going to pass it on that the pro- • fits of the dances and other money-making schemes do not go into the class treasury which is composed of class assessments. We admit that enrollment during the next se mester may shrink the size of the treasuries of each class, but why can’t the dance profits or at least part of them be thrown into the treasury? Where do they go? Strangely enough, the ex penditures and the-incomes of each seem to come out nearly even each year. It’s too bad that we can’t, control our profits. Henry Vgrnum Poor’s work brought more fav orable publicity to the College than any other activity. Maybe we should have thought of the possibility of the difficulty of providing funds in the next two College terms, but maybe the Board of Trustees shouldn’t have acted so hastily. Student Opinion Divided On Sale Of Intoxicants AUSTIN, Texas, March 31—American college students, a great portion of whom will eventually enter the armed forces, are divided on the issue of prohibiting the sale of liquor near army camps. “Do you think the sale of liquor should be pro hibited around army camps?” interviewers in every section of the United States asked. These were the results:- What's Cookin'? tit ti< —THE CHEF Unc.e- Percent:' ce DRV WET 10,000 STUTTERERS—Dr. Herbert Koepp-Baker, associate professor of speech and speech education ahd vice-president of the American Speech Correction Association, re vealed that 18,000 men have been turned down from the armed serv ices because of stuttering. Through his office he is helping to, remedy these defects. Campus Fonts Reopen Today Unless the temperature takes a sudden drop and the elements start playing tricks again, dusty tonsils will be relieved starting to day with the reopening of campus drinking fountains.. The sheds re sembling elongated dog houses that covered the fountains all winter, have already been lifted. The fountain located on the Campus Mall directly across from the 'Engineering Building, although riot as old as the one in front of the 'Women’s Building, has an in teresting history. . Long ago the present Mall Was a .road with rows of apple trees on both sides. The apples fell victims of the students While the trees were likewise gobbled up by edu cated worms. The worms did a thorough job so 40 years ago elms replaced the aging orchard. Among the elms a lone Willow tree was planted. However, fate played a hand when, in 1925, a heavy wind split the' willow and blew it down. As a tribute, a drink ing fountain was erected in mem cry of the beautiful willow. Doubtlessly, the next time you stop to quench your thirst at the “downtown fountain.” you will shed a tear or two for the poor willow that stood alone and finally received a “tough break.” Red Cross Concert (Continued Irom Page One) tain,” a spiritual.
