In times when freshmen enroll zi;tent in colleges and universities all over the country is on the decline, registration figures 31.-!re show a record-breaking freshman class and :1 total enrollment almost as high as it was a year ago. Penn State has as many freshman students :us a combination. of Universities in several big 3-,innsylvania cities. Latest trend-breaking move is the recommen •dation by the Interclass Finance committee that ;:tudent class dues be reduced 30 cents. With high c:v costs of living everywhere, it is gratifying to 7L.rte that class treasurers can get along with ;;Inaller funds. The measure is especially good news. to the Collegian. It means that the increase in fees from what was paid last semester will be LESS than a Kir)liar if the student body says "okay" to the Coll cgian check-off system at All-College elections 3f.:xt week. And the check-oft will be keeping the Collegian n daily paper, run against another. trend. The Uni v,:trsity of Pennsylvania's "Daily Pennsylvanian" 11. as cut the size of its publication in half "for the duration," and other school papers are suffering 4- - !creases and curtailment. A daily paper would nitinue to benefit the students by keeping them iformed of campus and world events nearly every 4.1. a y. Let's continue our trend-busting . - ill - trcease From Sorrow Penn State's accelerated program is going to ruffer a setback 'from the results of this student t :yled "big weekend." When the College denied a Yootball holiday this year, it did so because the 1 igher-ups felt such leeway would defeat the very Duirpose of acceleration—and they were right. But to face facts—nearly 4200 tickets have been ::.)id for the Penn game to students planning to go Lo Philadelphia. More than half the student body Il'as officially signified its intentions of taking this holiday, while the other half, is determined 'Lo get away from State College by any means. Which all boils down to this—the students are fired of two and one half months of studying with no surcease in sight until the end of the sem- Qster, and have leaped at this opportunity to "get .way from State" if even for a weekend. No Thanksgiving vacation didn't help matters much The College administration had foreseen such contingency. By calling off classes for one.half day, and that day Saturday, they could have .;Iveri official sanction to a holiday. Fear of bur .d ring transportation however, prevented such With this weekend behind them, students will )--..ttllrn to the campus rejuvenated and ready to Ackle the final bluebooks that stand in the way a real vacation.

THE DAILY COLLEGLtN —Junior Cub Neyhart Cites Safety Course An intensive driver education program in the schools and col leges of the nation has been sug gested by Amos E. Neyhart, ad ministrative !head of Penn State's Institute of Public Safety, as "probably the only way this nation can escape a serious dearth of trained automobile . driveri at the end of the war." The country is so pre-occupied with the war effort, Professor Ney,- hart said, that already there are indications of a relaxation of our formerly high standards. Such re laxation, when placed against the virtual certainty of a heavy in crease in automobile traffic at the end of this war, poses a serious problem, in the opinion of the Col lege's rbad training expert. He said opening to the public such thoroughfares as the Alaskan Highway and the. Pan-American Highway at the end of the war would bring a tremendous increase in the number of vehicles • and drivers. For the most part, he pointed out, these drivers would come from the pool of young men and women now attending our schools.
