Pa. Week
“Pennsylvania Has Everything’’ has been
adopted as the official slogan for the fourth
annual Pennsylvania Week being held this
week.
AND PENNSYLVANIA does have practical
ly everything. It leads the nation in produc
tion of such heavy materials as steel, pig iron,
coal, stone, cement, and coke. About 99 per
cent of all anthracite coal mined in America
is dug right here at home. Pennsylvania leads
alb other states in production of shirts, hosiery,
silks, ice cream, liquors, 1 chocolate, pretzels,
glass, lubricating oils, and rayon. This is done
in 19,000 manufacturing plants with 1,500,000
employees.
Lancaster County has the nation's richest
non-irrigated' farms. Pennsylvania farmland
is valued at more than a billion dollars. As
a sporting grounds, the state ranks with the
best in the world. Hunters average annually,
30,000 deer, 3,000,000 rabbits and 500,000
pheasants. Over 4,000 miles of forest trails
cover the woodlands which make up 52 per
cent of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania Week is being celebrated
throughout the Commonwealth with plant open
houses, news reels, radio programs, displays,
parades, and a tour of the state by the Penn
sylvania Week Special train. This tour will
cover six days and 28 communities will be
visited. Important documents and exhibits will
be shown to the public throughout the week.
PENNSYLVANIA TAKES no back seat as a
vacationland. The contrasts provided by> the
sleepy hills and the thunder of its mining and
steel mill industries, its farmland and urban
centers, only serve 'to 1 heighten the pride of
all its citizens. 1
We all have a date with our state. 1

Lost Freshmen
If you’re a freshman and are enduring a
“lost” feeling, perhaps' Temple University is
the place for you. The Temple University
News recently took editorial note of a fresh
man camp instituted this fall by the school
“to fill the void in the college life of incom
ing freshmen.”
“School spirit,” observes the News, “gets
a working over.”

“Dear,
Tete-a-Tete
ABERNATHY: Say, Billingsworth, wait up, I have something
to ask. you. ! , ' ■ ■■
BILLINGSWORTH: What’s on your mind, chum?
ABERNATHY: I saw in the paper that you were appointed
chairman of NSA by All-College Cabinet last week. What’s the
scoop on that outfit? How corrie they get such a large appropria
tion from Cabinet funds whep nobody even knows what they
do? Just what is the purpose of NSA? ,
BILLINGSWORTH: National Student Association is a service
organization,' whose purpose it is to apply ideas which work in
some colleges to all the rest—student government, book exchanges,
purchase card plans', faculty rating systems, campus' chests, stu
dent ' agencies rendering all kinds of services such as newspaper ,
delivery, employment, laundry, dry cleaning, restaurants, _ stores' •'
for supplies, and arranging trips to; Europe, South America for
work, study, or travel in the summertime ...
ABERNATHY: Hey, relax, don't get all excited at me, I ,
just asked a.civil question. Bui ihe main gripe seems-to be that
NSA hasn't done anything significant for a long lime, and con
tinues to receive Cabinet subsidalion. .
BILLINGSWORTH: What you say is not entirely wrong, for
NSA last year had. a very tough time with organizational diffi
culties, and, were not as effective as they should have been. With
the increased interest we expect this, year, NSA should _ be able
to apply the full power of its national organization to solving Penn
State problems. You may fyave noticed that many of the ideas „
I mentioned a couple of minutes ago are already working here
at State, and more coming. ' '
ABERNATHY: ■ Well, it’s something to know that much, at
least, but what good is it if the nationally gathered suggestions are
not brought in? Why don’t you get more people working for yon
—it appears to me like a pretty interesting activity.
BILLINGSWORTH: Great. We're glad to have, you.
ABERNATHY: Me?
BILLINGSWORTH: Sure. Maybe you don't know, much about
it now. but you'll soon have the inside story.
ABERNATHY: Fair enough, and let me know when you meet '
next time. I’ll be there with bells on. ;■

TO THE EDITOR: I read Mri Herb Stein’s letter, which appeared
in the October 18th issue of The Daily Gollegian, with great interest.
his feelings about the bonus for
I find it very hard to account for
World War II veterans, as it is
contrary to my own, and most
other veterans.
In order to better understand
Mr. Stein’s feelings about the
matter, I would like to know a
bit more about his service record.
If it would not be of too great
inconvenience to Mr. Stein, I
would appreciate.it if some facts
as to his service time could be
made public. I would like par
ticularly to know, length of
service, branch of service, com
bat time, and theater.
For some strange reason I feel
that these facts might tend to

amount of money he might
receive.
Ed. Note Stein spent 16
months in the army, mostly with
occupation forces in Japan. Not
a combat and, therefore
not entitled to the proposed
bonus, he holds that Pennsyl
vania has more pressing needs
than a vets' bonus. One-third of
the vets* response to Stein's edi
torial so far has been in agree

Somebody who prefers to remain known as
“S. S.” dropped the Collegian a card after see
ing last week’s Thespian production.
He said: "Just saw the Thespian’s “Welcome
Willy” and found it to .be a well planned
entertainment j menu—tA. good dash of spice;
large amounts of sweet corn; unlimited quan
tities of luscious tomatoes; plenty of beef, and
for desert, a large portion of cheese cake.
A small troupe of Blue Band members made
