It` Just Ain't Healthy
:November is 'make out' month.
Accelerated like everything else, the open sea-
Ii..)1;0 for student activities, elections, appointments,
mid more elections and appointments, and then
congratulations and more congratulations, has
lie , tri transplanted into mid-Fall instead of the
tr,,ditional Spring change-oVer. Despite the differ
eni:e in the weather the whole business hasn't
anged much.
Again the Liberal Arts students are outstand
ing by their prevalence in practically all major
llogtions. The majority of the candidates for
poi iticai offices, the heads of publications, the IF.C.
and AA nominees are all predominatly LAers or
close to it. Only the council groups represent an
even distribiltion over the schools.
Naturally there are reasons for this trend. Lib
eral Arts schedules are lighter thus giving the
1;13/ dents enrolled more time to delve into the
extra-curricular field. A good percentage of their
education comes from experience gained in these
tivities.
...Gut it stands to reason that these experiences
would be of equal benefit :to technical students.
Xi. is accepted that activities should not come be-
J!ore curricular work. Unfortunately some forget
this, agreeing that it is true but doing nothing
about it in their own specific cases.
• Therefore the question arises, ."can technical
‘.li.udents participate in activities and at the same
gain the maximum of benefit from actual
classroom work?" Past campus leaders taking
technical courses, such as Len Krouse, twice class
t , oresident, Lew Corbin, Tribunal Head, and Pappy
3 - !,artholemew, 1941 senior class president, all ,dar
ed to invade the Liberal Artists' activity den and
Caine out unscathed scholastically. Exceptions
-1.11.1e, but exceptions to a tune-worn trend and not
i.o a proven axiom.
Dominance of one group in any set up isn't
wise. Student activities thrive on competition.
,And they're supposedly open to all, so why the
concentration? It just ain't healthy. —R D. S.
A New General—Apathy
Announcement that Independent '45 has failed
io dominate a slate to run against the Campus
`45 machine leaves many Penn Staters wondering
,again about our democracy on this campus. With
q.he one-party situation, a small clique, numbering
4i") more than 100,sophornores, can control class
offices for the next term, and the clique chair
-wan, if he is strong enough, can virtually dictate
the class bosses.
No reflection , on Campus '45. 'Rather it must be
given credit for building.a machine so strong that
the Independent opposition chooses to present no
,late at all rather than face an alrriost certain de
feat. The Campus sophs can not be accused of
4)aving a dictatorial leader, for.the party demon
recently that it will nominate the person
the clique as a whole wants.
Nevertheless, there is a general apathy about
campus, whether it be lack of interest to fight for
a class office, attending a nominating convention,
or signing up for pre-induction. Lately this apathy
))as been more in evidence.
It was pointed out in an article yesterday that
49 of Penn State's 6,000 students turned out for
the nominating convention, and 32 of an expected
'l2t) signed up for Army leadership training. Why
a student meeting wasn't called to make sugges
tions for the class gift might also be attributed.
4.0 an expected lack of interest. If students don't

Swan Song
Stifling a sigh, a yawn, and a burp, a decrepit
Campy drags his decrepit bones to a decrepit
typewriter to peck out one last column before
giving way to some young whippersnapper on
the new senior board.
Either you're not a bit discriminating in your
tastes or you are by this time sick of reading all
the swan songs that have been appearing in this
newspaper during the past week. But tradition
has decreed that all columnists shall write swan
songs, and we humbly comply. Here goes:
Tempus Sure Does Fugit
Five normal, and two and one-half accelerated
semesters ago! Just think of it! C'mon, damn
think of it! Time certainly does fly, doesn't it?
We are all agog, atwitter, adither, and nearly
aghast at this discovery. Gee whiz, gee, holy
smoke, and oh, gosh. In four academic years
we've had dances, bluebooks, rain, football games.
beauty queens (it says here), quiet evenings at
Doggie's, rain, wild evenings at Doggie's, more
football games, and widespread disapproval of
student drinking on the grounds that the quaint
practice of gutter-reclining discourages the use
of borough parking meters, thereby raising the
cost of living for boro council. Aw, nuts, every
thing was so lovely. (Editor's note: Certain Col
legian columnists have at times sunk to incredible
lows in trying to fill up that white space.)
Having gotten those touching sentiments off
our chest (and on our conscience), we'll ignore
the usual gossip about publicity-seeking. and
publicity-shunning students, and devote a part of
this column to unburdening our soul of a sup
pressed desire. Some Collegian :columnists sign!
off by crying, "We ain't mad at nobody," and by
bitterly denouncing themselves as colossal stink
ers. Others wail, "We wuz robbed by coming to .
Penn State end we want our time and money
back." As for us, we've always wanted to be re
garded as an authority on spOrts and never got
the chance until now. So here is our football
•
prediction for this Saturday's . game:
PENN STATE 93, PENN 3; STATE 17, PENN 7;
STATE 61/; . AA, PENN 3.1416 (as easy as Pi);
PENN 21, STATE . 6; 'STATE rah, PENN, boo;
STATE 13, PENN 7. Making ell these predictions
saves us the annoyance of being razzed, since one
of the above is bound to be accurate. But, just in
case, we'll prove we're taking no chances: STATE
. . ~ PENN . . . (Fill scores in while waiting in
the ticket line Saturday night at 10th and Arch.)
After that there is no possible justification for
our writing any more columns. Besides, our in•-
clination for writing any more is merely so-so, so
so long. —DOM GOLAB,
