VRIDAY, AUGUST 1 1, 1944 Campus Cops' History Goes Back To The Good Old Days Back in the good old days•when Holmes field Was just anther vacant lot, the Campus Patrol received its 'first start. However, there were no "Campus Cops," just an aged, half-stooped watch man whose duty it was to • care for the buildings. Nevertheless, it was here, long before the campus assumed its preSent forth, 'that the fotinciation was laid for what is now the Campus Patrol. Highly respected and often mentioned. faVOrably, the Pattbl was not always so. Once it was scotned anti considered a joke; its Members were latighed at and ad judged fools; and its pbWer. WOs limited to a few minor items. No longer do such conditions exist, for the Campus Patrol is now One of the most influential and hon oied organitations oh the campus. Although its authOtity is now far more extehtled than it ever was, the Patrol utes it far less than it ever did. Its patrolmen have• become "men of right" in stead of "men of tniglie' The ar rest and prosecution 'of individ uals has become an •obsolete ftific tibn, and in its place has been substituted the correction of the Wrong with beneficial value to the persons involved.

Hermann, prefessor 'of The Campus Patrol was 'first established in 1929 as a division of the department of grounds and buildings. It consisted of a cap 7 tain and two patrolmen who aid little more than cheek oh the buildihgs 'and see that the du dehts kept off the grass. As the College grew and ex pritided socially at well as eoci nomically, the pEittel kept pade with every move. As each yeak went by, mote authority was given to the Pattol. tly the end of 1930, the Petted was being used as a Dirotettbie itieastire against fire, as a control over traffic and as an ihfluefiee for the general good behavior of the students. The folloWhig Year, the Studeht Patrol Was forrhed and. the Regular Patrol enlarged, The expansion of the College was sb great and so rapid that no othek solution except' enlargement of the Patrol could have possibly stemmed the need. Ttiday the Regular Patrol in cludeS 13 men besides Catit, Phil ip A. Wfark. There is a captain, a liedtenant and a night ser...- geant. The men patinl the cainOus grounds day and night. They work in shifts so that there is someone on the campus at all times. The Regular Patrol alst) has a police . car 'fully equipped With a stretcher and first aid equipment. The car patrols the grounds at intervals throughout the day and night. The Student Patrol consists Of approximately .13 men. A student lieutenant, two sergeants, and two •corporals assist Capt.. Mark with the direction of this 'group. The remainder of the Student Patrol is composed of patrolmen. The duties of the Patrol are to control traffic, direct crowds, and be helpful in any other possible way. The pay is not high but it has helped many students in need of money -to complete their cor lr-ge• education. Capt. Mark, who has been with the Patrol since 1936,- states- that positions as student patrolmen 'are still open to all male stu dents. The draft and unsettled college conditions have created a wide gap in the ranks of the Patrol. lie also would like to re mind the student body that the familiar blue uniform. of thb "Campus Cop" is synonymoui with "help and justice."

Dr. Cloppet, who served in WOrld War I with the French Blue Devils and later, as an American Army interpreter, also expressed his personal conviction that France will return 'to a democratic 'form of government following the war.

The' article analyzes the work of the Veterans' Counselling Com mittee of Altoona with which the department of psychology and education has been cooperating. The job of the committee is to help returning service men re establish themselves in civilian life. "Dumped back into civilian life," the committee explains, "these boys will have to make the most important decisions of their lives—and make them right away. Athong these decisions will bt the 'selection of a life's vocation. Ob viously, with their 18-year-old civilian experience, they will need help. That's why we plan to help them from the day they return, until they're fitted into a job that Will give thetn : a reasonable degree of happiness." This help is to come from busi ness and professional peOple of Altoona who will interview the 'returning men, and make sugges tions as to the type of civilian work they are best fitted for, or what college they should attend in case they want to return to school. Here is where Penn State steps into the picture. If the interview ers are to make the best possible decisions, they must know every detail of the correct methods of interviewing. They were taught these methods by professors from the College. Along with Dean M. R. Trabue, who worked out the course, Dr. B. V. Moore and Dr. Clifford R. Adams, both of the psy: chology department, conducted six weeks of evening classes in the art of interviewing.
