SAGE EIGHT
Onward Tradition;
Task Falls to Coeds
On Campus Front
Li'r3sh mass meetings, songs and
cheer practices, and even the good
old English placement exams,
bake us wish we could go back a
few years to our own "green bow
»Ci name-card days" and begin on
a new slate. How differently we
would have done things, we say,
as vre begin to learn a few of the
ropes. But we wonder—if we had
the opportunity to begin again,
would there be too many changes?
Anyway, such a move isn't prob
able, nor would it be at all practi
cal. However, Cwens, Big-Sisters,
CA chums, Senior Sponsors, or
merely general friends, we can
)ielp all in the program of orienta
tion for the new freshman women.
With our short semesters of ex
perience in campus life, We can be
of graat value to this new group.
With recent drastic changes in
our campus life, freshmen will
4iave even a harder time adjusting
themselves to a new atmosphere.
As pointed out by our own dean
of women, the upperclasswomen
can have a stabilizing effect di
rectly or indirectly, merely by
boos ling practices which they
would like to have carried on as
Penn State tradition.
From our own experience, we all
know that frosh inevitably look 4o
to tha upperclassmen to a certain
extent for standards. Lf we really
want College traditions to outlive
'the war we'll put our best foot
forward and get the new gals off
to a flying start. And—as Long as
even a few students are banded
together on the campus, it's their
duty to see that these traditions
ARE kept, particularly for our
classmates, now at the front, who
plan to finish their College educa
tions after the war. We all know
they'll not want to come back to
a new Penn State, but to one sim
ilar to the one they left in their
undergrad days.
We, the women, should have this
