His principal objective has al ready been achieve'd: he wanted e new Electrical Engineering ■building for Penn State. That am bition was realized in 1938 when a $5,000,000 General State Author ity project provided new build ings, including -Electrical Engi neering. His hobbies are amateur photo graphy, travel, and music. He has visited Canada, South America, and traveled widely in this coun try. Years ago he enjoyed the sport of deep-sea fishing. As a musician he played the piano, violin, and was a member of the College’s Mandolin Club which was then, he said, as 'much a distinction as mak ing the football team. He is the son of Frank Kinsloe, a Lock Haven editor and publish er, did some reporting before he came to’Penn State, and for many years maintained an active inter est in the Lock Haven Express. Added to that, he’s a member of the Masons, Triangle, Phi Kap pa Phi, Sigma Xi, Sigma Tau, Eta Kappa Nu, Sigma Chi, the Ameri can Institute of Electrical Engi neering, the Society for the Pro motion of Engineering Education, a director of the First National Bank of State College and a char ter member of the State College ■Rotary Club.

LEFFLER Professor of Economics The first week of September brought to the Allies the best news of the war as military and politi cal victories followed each other in rapid succession. The end of the war is closer than anyone dared to expect when we invaded France. Our troops surged forward in all sectors of France at rates of 30 n.iles a day, triple the best Nazi speed in 1940. British and Cana dians, heading out from the Seine, captured Amiens, Dieppe, Abbe ville, Brussels and Antwerp in quick drives. This operation pock eted 100,000 Germans along the robot bomb coast which remains to be “mopped up.” This frees Eng land of the menace of the robot bomb, which was the perfect pro duct of a warped mind. Undamaged Antwerp gives the Allies a fine harbor 66 miles from Germany through which vast sup plies can be funneled for the bat tle of Germany now beginning. The capture of the bitterly defend ed ports of Le Havre and Brest is now less urgent. To the east of the British armies the Americans over-ran northern and eastern France at equally amazing rates of speed, capturing Sedan, Argonne and Verdun and then rolling into Belgium. Magnifi cent fortifications like Soissons were not even defended by the Germans. Ran Off Their Maps In northeastern France Gen. Patton, the most colorful American general of the war, traveled so fast his troops “ran off their maps.” Three armies are now at Ger many’s borders ready to attack the Siegfried line. It is doubtful if Ger many can hold this outmoded line of defense for long. The bully of Europe will soon hear the march of conquering armies of the ene mies he hoped to enslave. In southern France our armies made rapid progress up the Rhone ''alley, capturing and passing Lyon, third city of France, without a pause. The escape corridor of the battered 19th German army closes hourly. The Allies continued to meet stubborn resistance at the Gothic I|ne in northern Italy. The Gothic fine was considered impregnable by the Germans but a break through is now progressing stead ily, which will give us an ideal t ank territory in which to operate. Why the Nazis defend northern Italy so bitterly remains a mys tery. On the Polish front the Russians have made only slow progress after some of the hardest fighting of the war. The Germans are ap parently more interested in hold ing the Russians than they are the Americans and British. Perhaps they think the Russians still re member the utter devastation THE COLLEGIAN Summer Students Receive Degrees Twenty-six men and women have qualified for degrees follow ing completion of special work this summer at the College.

Which their armies spread over western Russia a few short months In the Balkans the Soviet, troops captured Bucharest after overrun ning the Ploesti oil fields, the greatest source of natural oil of .he Germans. From Bucharest the Russians headed toward a juncture with Marshal Tito in Jugoslavia, pausing on the way to declare war on Bulgaria for its reluctance in getting out of the war. Hungary Clings On Russia and ill-advised Finland ended a three-year war and the latter nation can now repent at leisure its decision to bet on the wrong horse. Germany now has no satellite nations to help her ex cept the weak and reluctant Hun gary. In the far Pacific no real change took place during the week. Our ships and planes continue to “soft en up” the Philippines, the Bonins and the Volcanos. Landing opera tions at any of these places in the very near future will surprise no one and Gen. MacArthur may well be able to eat his Thanksgiving dinner on the islands to which he swore he would return. The War and Politics Sen. Truman, opening the Demo cratic campaign, stressed experi enced leadership. Mr. Truman’s experience in politics was ac quired under the guidance of Tom Pendergast, boss of the most cor rupt political machine in the coun try in its prime. The French, might give us some ideas on experience. In 1939 they entrusted their armies to the old and experienced Gen. Gamelin instead of de Gaulle, the father of tank warfare. In 1940 they chose the old and very ex perienced Marshal Petain. Experi ence—well, maybe! On the other hand, the Repub licans cannot be too proud either. Before the war they opposed the araft, the repeal of the neutrality act, the extension of selective serv ice, the passage of lend-lease and scoffed, at any possible attack by Warnock- (Continued from page one) several other veterans played with younger civilian players on one of Coach Hugo Bezdek’s greatest Penn, State teams. “Bezdek’s problem,” says the dean, “was typical of all problems of veteran readjustment. He had to put battle-experienced men through the fundamentals of tackling, blocking, charging. They rebelled, at first, or went at it indifferently, and green players outrated them for places on the team. “Bez sure had his hands full,” Dean Warnock said, “but before the season ended, veterans and green players alike were playing the same kind of football. That team, with Bob Higgins as cap tain, defeated both Penn and Pitt.” According to Dean Warnock, the same problems of readjust ment will meet veterans return ing to the campus from World War 11. More than 4000 Penn State students interrupted their careers to go off to war. Their problems, the dean said, will not differ greatly from those of any young man who leaves the campus for two or three years and goes back. “While away, he remem bers himself and his former envi ronment as they were when he went away. When he returns, he is changed and the environment has changed. Time will be needed to make the double readjustment.” Changes here at' home, Dean Warnock believes, will make a larger problem for the- veteran trying to- readjust himself than will any changes which have tak en place in himself. “We people at home may not appreciate what’s happened, but during these war years we have changed materially,” the dean says. “Yet we can’t see those changes as clearly in the retur ning veteran.” In his 30 years of work with yoUng men Dean Warnock has learned that “progressive, orderly adjustment to changing conditions is the normal process of adoles cence.

That’s youth," he* says, “and those of us into this changing picture are somewhat like the doctor who helps his patient to help himself get well. We can advise, sympa thize and even spank, but unless we have helped the youtlvto stand on his own feet, we have engag ed only in mollycoddling.” Dean Warnock knows his col lege man well. In his 25 years at Penn State, 30,000 freshman en tered. Hundreds have come to see him personally about their. trou bles and many have kept in .touch with him through the years. The dean doesn’t regard his job as one of dealing with unruly or delinquent students. Most young men in college, he feels, are cap able, of doing more than anybody thinks they can. “The challenge to a dean is to get it out of them,” he says. He has let a good many pro blems handle themselves by tur ning them over to the students. That’s why-he has long put his trust in student government. “Get a boy interested in looking after another boy,” he believes, “and you’ve bettered them both.” The dean came to Penn State in 1919 from the University of Illinois, a protege of the famed Thomas Arkle Clark. He intend-; ed to stay for. a few years, has been here since. He’s seen Penn State grow from a college with. 2400 students to one of 7100. He has another concern about boys returning: two sons are in the service, Staff Sgt. Jack, of the Army Air Forces, and Capt. Ray, bomber pilot with 50 missions tucked under his belt.
