What to Expect
It takes every newcomer to Penn State a white to
get acclimated. You’ll probably b e here lor a lew
months before that “at home” feeling becomes a
reality. With the current problems oil expansion
confronting the College it may be longer than nspal
before the new student is fully settled down to the
way of life which prevails here.
Let's take a look at so*n* of the thing* you
ean expect t 0 find here upon your arrival.

This incoming sophomore group is a different
type of newcomer to Penn State, While you’ll prob
ably get lost as easily end often as the pre-war
freshman, the routine of college life is not new to
you. It won’t be long before you will want to take
part in campus activities. Already pome <4 your
group are with the football squad. At the beginning
of the semester you will be invjted to take part in
the activities of various campus groups; yQU can
expect to be well received.
Details about what to expect of Penn State
and what Penn Slate expects of you will bo
outlined during the orientation program.

With the Editor
Welcome to the mem canipui, sophomores-
You have all been Penn btate students durtn«
your freshman yeur al the scattered undergradu
ate centers and teacher's colleges throughout the
aiute. During that time you probably got to know
me people in your respective institutions quite
well —und you probably will want to stick togeth
er as the result of well established friendships.
But remember, you are all members ol the
Class of '5O of Penn State. You won't be grad-
uating in the me {group* that you spent your
first year—you will be graduating as a class.
Cliques and autonomous groups will not bring
about the unity of Penn State spirit which only
>ou can contribute.
Penn State anu its traditions can only he what
you make them, and that ‘‘better Penn State”
which you will be hearing so much about can only
be brought about by your united efforts,
And what can you do about It? Oet to know
as many of your fellow class members as you
can without regard to so-called special Inter
ests such as independents and fraternity
groups. Make-a point of looking at the name
lags, and above all. don't forget the "hello"
spirit.
Your student government is putting on a spe
cial program Thursday evening of Orientation
Week in an effort to acquaint you with the num
erous extra-curricular activities at the College.
Choose the activities you are most interested in
and ask all the questions you can think of.
Eemember, education is not based entirely
upon textbooks and clacroom*. The best way
to learn how to work with people ar»' develop
leadership qualities is to g a out and work for
*he activity in which you are most interested.
