PAGE TWO The Dail's , Collegian Editorial Editorials and columns appearing in The Deily Collegian represent the opinions et the writer. They make no claim to rell Good Things Complaints and dissatisfaction are so common place that progress and accomplishments are often overshadowed. A casual survey of last semester's Collegians reveals numerous favorable items which should not have been overlooked. Right at the start, one of the most successful Orientation Week and counseling programs was instrumental in giving new sophs and transfers a good start in Penn State life. Then the new duplicating registration forms re duced the time spent in the formerly tedious task, to a , new all-time minimum, for those who had no changes to make. Association of Independent Men and Leon ides, its female counterpart, were successfully organized, and launched their programs of mixers and other events (including even an in dependent house-party during Spring Week) designed to improve the social status of all independent students. Sophomores pleased and entertained football fans in the West stands of Beaver Field, with their inauguration of Penn State's first flash card root ing section. (If a permanent organization is not soon formed, the future of flash cards may be 'somewhat doubtful.) Intramural sport had its most auspicious sea son, more individuals and teams participating, and more games being played than ever before in each sport on the card. Sports included basketball, box ing, football, swimming, tennis and wrestling. Penn State's off-campus centers received important boosts with the dedication of the Behrend Center, and the acquisition of a mountain estate as the site of a new Hazleton campus. Creation of new parking lots and permitting parking on one side of Pollock road, helped ease the campus parking situation, although the one way traffic on Pollock created problems of its own. Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, returned the "Daily good deed" to the campus with its reorganization. Without fanfare or glory, its members volunteer for campus-improving projects, often of the type which other groups deem themselves too good for. Students and administrative officials began a year of close cooperation by a discussion of mutual problems. These are only a few, and not necessarily the most important, of the good things of State last fall. Maybe we'd better list such activities more often. 01It Batty Collegian Successor to THE FREE LANCE, est. 1887 Published Tuesday through Saturday mornings Inclusive dur• lag the College year by the staff of The Daily Collegian of The Pennsylvania State College.

With warm weather, cool showers, and a general blossoming forth of all things about campus, Spring seems to be in solid. All we need now is the place ment of those comfortable green chairs on the Old Main terrace. • It's pretty hazardous to try and predict the economic future or the winner of next year's major league pennants. One safe prediction, though, is this: This year's final exams will be as tough as ever. 7 , ( At Your Warner ~.
