To Collegian Editor:
May I say about six 'sent
ences on the topic of fresh
man customs?
I believe in organized
freshman orientation, because
freshmen will be oriented
Willy hilly and I prefer the
•
organized• kind.
Forms of .freshman orienta
tion have changed many
times in the College's history,
and. I think the time has
' again' come for a material
change. The purpose back of
this old Penn State. tradition
is • educational,• and the cur
: rent. system is no longer. edu
' cational.
' With the coming to the
•camipus of' many war veterans
as freshmen, freshman.. or
ientation should be of a kind
that will fit their needs and
• experiences as well as the
needs of teen-age. freshmen
! • right out of Ilea school. Both
types will , need orientation
' in Penn State ways and tra
ditions; and neither can be
• exempted' without destroying
class unity.
Finally, now is the time for
all thoughtful . students to
make the needed changes.

It'appears that among the birds
on _the campus there is a course
being, given on "Making or Tak
ing a Nest." After the pigeons
failed "to take a nest in Atherton
Hall, the sparrows are trying to
make a "modern design" nest at
,Frear Lalboratory.
Students filing into Frear • for
Prof. :Merrill Wood'S.zoology class,
one morning_ this week; saw two
,sparrows .building a. nest in the
bottom of the lamp which Is out,
,side the lower door of the build . -
ing.
One .student was curious and
spoke to Professor Wood after
class.
"Won't the light come on at
night and. -keep the sparrows
awake?" the student asked.
"Yes, but maybe the light will
warm up the inside so much that,
the sparrows can fly out at night
and leave their eggs as warm as
though they were in an incuba
tor," the professor said, smiling.
"Do you think the sparrows'
knew that the lamp would be.
like an incubator when they built
the nest there?" the student ask
