A Penn State Press
At a recent meeting of a freshman honorary, a
member of the history department and one of the
organizers of the national fraternity spoke to the
students who were about to be initiated into the
society. He spoke about their having distinguish
ed themselves by showing that they had it with
in them to do good work and hoped that they
would keep on doing this kind of work through
out their college careers and later on when they
would enter their chosen fields.
But the point he brought up that was of most
significance was his hope that some day Penn
State would have a press like the University of
Chicago Press or the Columbia University Press
or any of the other colleges that publish books that
are written by the members of their faculties and
graduate students.
Perhaps it has never been thought of . by the
trustees or other members of the College's execu
tive board, or perhaps the expense that would be
involved would be too great, but the fact is that
a press such as this would be an outlet for the re
search work that is done on this campus and the
fine books that are written by the faculty mem
bers. It would be a manner of expressing the
commendable work that is done on this campus by
its scholars. It would lielp establish Penn State
in the minds of educators throughout the country
as a College that has an outstanding staff.
During wartime, however, it would probably be
impractical for the Commonwealth to allot money
Tor this cause. But after the war, when things
tare straightened out again, we hope that we will
be able to boast of. the PenrisylvaniS state College
tPress.
The Kids Work Overtime
Last night for the second time within two weeks,
1a group of youngsters, their average age 17 years,
presented a concert of heavy symphonic music
to an audience made uo of regular students, Sum
mer session students, and townspeople. This
group of youngsters has come to Penn State for
six-Week session to, Nick up a little extra must
-.cal knowledge besides that which they are getting
their high school training.
They are taking time out, hoWever, to give to
students here some benefit from that training they
are picking up. They are giving them symphonic
Aniusic which they could not hear while they are
going to college, They are helping to ease the .
of 5 Semester in which it is extremely ard
for most of us to "stay on the ball."
Their contribution is one which is appreciated
by all the people who have taken advantage of the
chance to hear really good music here far from
any metropolitan music center.
They wouldn't have to do this. They could
quit each evening and each Friday. They could
jet the rest of the ocople around here completely
alone. They don't though. Hat's off to them.
We wander into The Daily Collegian office oc
casionally, and every time we do we're greeted
with a burst of song. This stems from a couple
of kids on the junior board of this paper. When
they're not busy trying to convince their respective
editors that they are sharp apples, they answer
to the names of Jane Murphy and Dick Smyser.
Confronted with a morale problem among the
freshmen, Tribunal members screeching that the
frosh weren't having their hatches battened solid
ly enough, Murph and Smys retreated into a closet
and went to bat for the frosh. The tune is miss
ing, but the sentiment is sweet and app4opriatel3i
tuned to the times.

Can't we be more than just frosh?
Can't we be the class of '4O-sumpin'?
We wouldn't mind the hazin'
• '
Tribunal's boys are raisin'
If—gosh!----We were more than just frosh!
Some call us "Class of '46."
But, that ain't the year we're graduatin'
And since we're designated
To be accelerated,
I.7pperclassmen!—Why aren't we more than
freshmen?
We've heard the jumpin' jive
Of the Class of '45,
And the roar of '44.
We've been to the jamboree
Of the ClaSs of '43.
But, how can we sing our song •
When we don't know where we belong?
We wore our ribbons and our dinks
Just like the others gone before us.
They all had their number
So, classmates, let's not slumber,
Till—gosh!--4We're more than just frosh!
We like these kids' songs, and we're More than
glad to turn our column over to this specimen.
But, more important to us, is the idea of Charlie
Ridenour and his Tribunal team commissioning
Smys and Murph to write - a class song for the
‘funplaceablee before the Fall football games.
