Eittitg Tottragiatt 'VOL. 50 - NO. 85 STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 22, 1950 Milton Eisenhower To Visit The College Next Monday An Open Letter Tonight at 9 o'clock over shortwave radio, a 350-word message from the students at the College will be sent to Milton S. Eisen hower, president-elect of Penn State. The message will be sent by W3YA, College amateur radio station, to yvoana, its student counterpart at Kansas State College. The message represents a consolidation of many submitted by student . groups this week. On a Cabinet committee to assemble the messages were Shirley Gauger, WSGA president; Harry Mc- Mahon, Ali-College vice-president; Peter Giesey, IFC president. and Thomas Morgan, Daily Collegian editor. The message follows: State College, Pa. February 21, 1950 Dear Dr. Eisenhower, Ten ihousand students sending a communication, by amateur shortwave radio, 900 miles to a college president is no doubt unusual. • But these are not .ordinary times, we are students at an unusual college, and we feel confident you will make an extraordinary president for Penn State. Evidently we are not alone in this• feeling. Witness the glowing statements made about you to the press by Kansans and non-Kansans, educators and non-educators, Penn Staters and pon-Penn Staters. All of them have been packed with enthusiasm and well-wishes that overflow and become in fdctuous and multiply. Nary a one borders on the side of the uncomplimentary. , - It is evident to us, too, that our College Board of Trustees think you will be an extraordinary Nittany president. Other wise they , would have chosen someone else. We doubt if the Trusteei, 'whn thiy thOught about their decision to appoint you, could scarcely 'predict or anticipate the magnitude of the favorable reaction that has overwhelmed the students,, the faculty, the College-whole and the town. It has swamped and shaken the Nittany Valley. Tied up inextricably with this happy reaction is the fact that the majority of the student body have been attending Penn State in a period when it's been without a permanent president. Most of our number who went to school during the tenure of the late Dr. Ralph Dorn Hetzel—or better still, who knew him—have graduated. Consider our senior class, for example; most of the mid century class came to State as sophomores in 1947. Then, unfortunately for the College and• the student, President Hetzel died at the outset of the '47-'4B year. Since you'll not be assuming the job of Penn State bops until July, the class of '5O, ivho'll be counted among our 40,000 alumni by that time, will just miss you. But the rest of us will be here, and among our number are thousands who are connoisseurs, of good milkshakes. We understand you like them too> We hope you'll take time off to have one—figuratively of course—with all 10,000 of us.
