Four years ago Joe made the same decision; but four years ago this nation was not at war and Joe was not anticipating all the major changes that were destined to invade Penn State before he would get that coveted degree. Now he has . graduated. It was a great mo ment for Joe when they handed him his degree; and when he turned away from the platform, Joe scanned his four years in a few thoughtful seconds. ;He had seen the College complete its greatest- .buifding .program in history; he had watched the . ' enrollment hit an all-time high; and finally, as a fitting climax; he had seen Penn State change over night from a normal educa tional institution to a booming wartime College-- with .accelerated learning as its by-word. Now you're planning to take over where• Joe left off. , . If there are , as many revolutionary changes during the next four years as there were in the last four, then we - may say, without hesi tation, that "you're in for a whale of a big time, with plenty of work for all." Above all, we can't overlook the draft. Hun dreds of freshmen will be glad to hear that Penn State has eliminated many of the Selective Serv ice worries by offering the Army Enlisted Re serve to 2,000 students. As No. 1 on your "must" list, get into the AER, and . by meeting its quali fications, you, will insure your chances of gradu ating before being called into Uncle Sam's Army. And don't forget those activities. Penn State :is always on the lookout for budding politicians, debaters, journalists, and musicians who are nev er• satisfied unless they are active in something iwhich doesn't come from textbooks. Of course, .your studies are of major importance--at least that is what one helpful professor tried to preach .into Joe's mind one day last Spring. We avowed that we weren't going to say any thing special about the accelerated study pro gram, which is now in full swing at Penn State. So we'll pass over the entire subject with the brief remark, "By attending college the , year around, you will assist Penn State in making its greatest contribution to America's war 'efforts. The College is doing vital research work in all fields, and is giving special defense training courses to hundreds of students and Naval . Re serve Officers, but above an, Penn State is offer ing accelerated learning which enables students to graduate early and take their places in indus try, business, and the armed services." Those were only a few of the many things that Joe told me to pass on to you. He was hesitant about leaving the campus, but said it would not be so difficult to go if he knew he were leaving behind a few pointers to help the incoming frosh. He recalled the fact that Penn State was once a typical man's college. However, the last de cade has seen the growing trends of women on campus; and now that America has plunged into another world conflict, women will assume un precedented importance Et Penn State.. So that the College may better insure a - stable enrollment in these times of emergency, a record-breaking number of women have been enrolled for the Fall semester. Three large dormitories, origin ally occupied by men, have been turned over to women. As for studies, many women have en rolled in special defense courses, among which is aircraft drafting. As Joe said, "Everything and everybody is moving in a hurry up here at Penn State. But these frosh are prepared.

Mickey Dietz _________Mari Janet Wintet Philip P. Mitchell Howard Schwartz' _-_Lonie H. Bel /* Through The Needle's Eye Dear Frosh: About a week after Germany declared World War II in September, 1939, we got a copy of a special freshman newspaper from the Collegian at the Pennsylvania State College. A week later we put on cur best two-button suit and hitch hiked up to The Corner at State College to fall right into the middle of the "housing situation." In about three hours now we're going to walk up to Dr. Hetzel, Prexy of this land-grant College, and get a sheepskin which will entitle us to our hunk of the world tomorrow morning. A little later in the evening the sophomores and juniors who put out this paper, will get ready for an all night siege with this special issue for you. About a week after you get it, you'll get on your horse to get to The Corner at State College, where you also will fall into the middle of a "housing situa tion." That makes us a senior, graduated in seven semesters, as far as we can make out, into a world' with a lot of jobs to be done.. But, it also makes . you a freshman, entering a college while your country is at war. You're pretty smart, ac cording to your high school records and the Col lege Examiner, and you're pretty young, too. You'll be up on campus in a couple of weeks, starting off on the Big Adventure. Up here, people are going to tell you things— and always for your own good. Oh, always .for your own good. Your mother and father will write you letters, giving you advice. Your ad visor will tell you where to get off, because you're too young and green to tell him where to get off. When you start reading The Daily, Collegian again, some new columnist will be filling this space each week, telling you what to do. Sorors and fraters will tell you to Join Up—for your own good, of';course. 4 We don't .want to, tell you, anything . , ' We're pretty thankful 'at this moment for a number of things we've enjoyed. As we've said before, we're thankful for all the Penn States in. the world where young people are disillusioned as' gently as possible - . Through oux needle's eye, it . looks as if there are plenty of illusions hanging around this world. Some of them are in the. minds of our congressmen. Some of them are in the minds of our professors. Some of them are in our own mind. We want to get rid of some of these illusions. Others, we're going to go to war for: You'll be studying here in a couple of weeks,,after the fra ternities and sororities let you go, and you'll be told that you are in . . a war semester, that you live (Continued on Page Ten) PARENTS You Will Find .
