Axiom For Tomorrow
"In the post-war period, no youth should be
"barred by economic circumstances from carrying
hin education as far as he profitably can.”
In that axiom for tomorrow, the National Re
sources Planning Board expresses its opinion
■'(.hat society owes education to the able and should
and ready to foot the bill tor' youth if youth
‘cannot. According .to -an Associated Collegiate
[Press dispatch, the NRPB sets the. following;
(standards:
Nine-tenths of the children of high-school age
should- be in high school and eight tenths of them
•(•should finish high school. In 1940, American high
.'schools. had about seven-, million pupils. They
•.should have had about li700,00(i more.,
. '.(Tour tenths of junior collegcage youth should
’■continue their education beyond high school. In
1940, about 870,000 were in freshman and sopho
onote classes at college or in technical schools.
.That number should be increased 130 per cent. ”
In 1940, about 687,000 students were beyond the
'.second year of College work. In' the best interests
’•.if society, enrollment in such advanced classes
'.should be increased about 25 per cent. . ■
i Says the NRPB report,. “Fewer than half of the
.nation’s youth who are. able to do accepted college
'■work now continue their education beyond high
•.school.” ' •
"During the years immediately following the
war,” the National Resourses Planning Board con
tinues, “It does not appear probable that the total
revenue available for education from state and
hicaL sources can be greatly increased It also ap
•yiears improbable, that any great increase will
occur in governmental funds available for .edu
cation.* It is therefore evident that most of the in
crease in expenditures for education in the post
war period must be financed almost, if not entire
ly by federal funds.”
This report has little connection with Penn
f.tate. at the present time, but its contents are ma
terial for further thought, and may add insight
for the future.
“I’m not going to the Thespian show this year
•because the admission is too much.”
That comment was heard several times on
campus this week after students read of the ad
mission charges of the Thespian show, to wit, $.75
•in Friday night and $l.OO on Saturday night.
Why the Thespians need all that income when
the organization expects to fold up'after this pro
duction is something not readily apparent.
Whether the entertainers have debts on the books
which they want to clear, or whether the added
income is to compensate the performers are other
factors the Collegian is not in. a position to know.
One thing, however, is apparent. The prices are
too high. In times when everyone is finding it
hard to keep up with increasing costs of living, it
becomes, more difficult with each increase.
'.Nothing can be done now about this situation.
But so many persons think the rates are ex
borbitant that the matter deserves mention.

Yesterday the first ROTC parade of the season
came off on the golf course .... the improvement
in the band department was noticable, and is to
be. commended . . . they played the Marine’s
hymn, the field artillery march, and Marching
Along Together .... unless they played the en
gineers’ march before we got there, it was among
the missing .... this year there will be an added
division when the whole department parades to
gether the signal corps is busy on the lot
behind the Armory getting in shape ....

Front Rage
Last week the Collegian ran a little item about
a live stock judging contest the Penn State Club
was holding in one of the freshman dorms , . . .
We’re still wondering what the points counted
for when the boys got down to business . . . .
and the tag line on another story ran .... “Love
■lives in Bellefonte.” it had us puzzled until
we went back and read the whole paragraph . . . .
Love is Love Auman and it is she who lives in
Bellefonte .... in the first case, though, we’ve
told, some candidate got her clubs mixed, and
the live stock was judged on Ag Hill after all'..
we know a young fellow who is going to work in
a mine during semester vacation this spring . . . .
Alice Fox
he's an embryonic mining engineer .... what’s
working him now is how to get some boots and
overalls in the required filthy conditicVi before
he goes to work . . ■ just too take off a little of
the greenhorn stigma, he says. . . .
Tied Down .
The gremlins are at work on the pins these
days, and the ownex-.s can’t seem to get them loose
. . . only‘four items in this department today .
Nan Bowman gamma phi beta is now pinned to
Walt Dutton, and Ellie Strode Achi o is sporting
Ken Uhler’s ato token .... Dottie Jones, dg prexy.
is wearing Frank. Kilcoyne’s alpha sigma phi jew
elry and the boys at the theta xi apartment
found out last night that Eddie Lapos is pinned to
his home town girl when they saw his pin on her
iii a picture that just arrived ... /
Well Done
• We want to compliment Rube Falcon on his ef
forts in the Red Cross drive .... Penn State’s
total contribution is impressive when compared to
some from other colleges . . . Rube gave all he had
to the drive, and although he didn’t make the
$5,000 goal, the sum given is a respectable one
. . . . a word to Bill Cissel who has done so well
with the Dry Dock venture .... w,e’ve heard some
comments on the entertainment to the effect that,
it could be more original and fewer repeats of
things already seen - about campus . . .

Hundreds Of Dollars {from
Little Nickles Might Grow
At noon tomorrow woman stu
dents will play an important part
in the war effort.
Each coed is requested to bring
a nickle to lunch in a final effort
to put h'te Red Cross drive “over
the top”—the “top,” in this case,
being represented by a 5,000-
ciollar. quota.
Although the majority of coeds
have already , attained member
ship in the Red Cross, this last re
quest is so small and yet so vital
in reaching the established goal
we feel sure that a flvc-cent sac
rifice is not beyond any woman.
To make these nickles mount
into the couple thousand dollars
needed to meet the quota, how
ever, every coed . will have to
contribute.
We hope you will remember
your nickles tomorrow as you re
member Pearl Harbor, as vou re
member your fighter pilot in
North Africa, and as you remem
ber that we are fighting “to do
or die.’ - And remember, 100, that
only one hundred per cent coop
eration will make little nickles
mount into “big time dough."
Although Greek receptions for
Army Air Corps.cadets Saturday
afternoon have been postponed
because the boys are still -n quar
antine, we take our hats off to
sorority women for gladly dip
