Gift from The Seniors Throughout the school year the senior class amassed a nest egg of $8,500. Beginning today and continuing through tomorrow the seniors will have a chance to decide how they want the money spent. IT IS TRADITIONAL for the seniors to pre sent some gift to the College which they feel will not only benefit the school but also symbo lize their regard for it. Also a part of this ballot ing is the selection of class members to be hon ored for outstanding contributions in all of 'the activities that constitute the College's extra. curricular program. Admittedly, the few seniors, who turned out at a preliminary meeting to propose gifts for class-wide consideration, were hardly representative of the entire class. But if there is dissatisfaction with the three proposals—an ambulance, a Hall of Fame and the student press—the time for complaint is passed. The job now is to direct the spending of the money so that the final selection, at least, will indicate a gift from the class and not from those few who are unfairly accused of "running every thing" largely because nobody else cares. IT SEEMS ONLY LOGICAL that those who put their money in this class fund would be sufficiently interested to say how they want it spent. Safety Valve ... Praise for the Engineers TO THE EDITOR: The other night we attend -xi a meeting of the newly formed student group f the S.A.E. to hear Mr. R. R. Faller of the .i:thyl Corporation speak on the future of em iloyment in the engineering field. This was the rirst time we have run into anything so tangible on the subject here• at Penn State. We would like to thank the S.A.E. for bring ing such a wonderful speaker to Penn State and extend our wishes for a happy future to the newest student group of engineers.. —Donald P. Tanner G.

For a Hall of Fame TO THE EDITOR: Today and tomorrow the Class of '5O informally bows out of the College scene. Today and tomorrow graduating seniors cast their ballots for one of three class gift proposals. The spending of some $BOOO should deserve some serious thinking . . . Probably the one gift proposal which has been least publicized and the one that probably is the one that should be number one in the minds of the graduating body is the Hall of Fame. This Hall, located in the proposed Student Union Building, would honor those Penn Staters who have climbed the ladder of success and have achieved an outstanding record. Men from all fields would be eligible for honor in the Hall of Fame, men from all fields whether it be science, medicine, social work, athletics or politics. A selection committee would be set up and requirements for admission would be stan dardized. Also displayed in the Hall would be academic and athletic honors bestowed upon the College. Trophies, medals and other display-worthy items would be exhibited to the public. Sofas, lounging chairs and tables would be included in the floorplan of the room. It would be a centrally located place for stu dents to spend their spare hours, it would be the first place of ' interest to show a visitor to the campus. Immediate action on the planning of the Hall of Fame must be taken. Plans for the Student Union Building are already completed, yet it is not too late to alter them. It is up to the Class of '5O to decide whether their gift will be one of recognition for out standing achievement or . . . A shrine to honor great Penn State men, a Hall of Fame seems to be the logic answer. —George Vadasz Gazette ....

Plea far a Student Press TO THE EDITOR: For the third time in three years, the senior class is being asked, as one of its choices for disposition of the senior class gift fund,•to vote on acceptance of the Stu dent Press. Spurred by the last two class gifts; the outlook this year is bright and encouraging for a much-needed Penn State Student Press. The need for a Press as this year's senior gift is a simple case of mathematics. Cost of 'a r Student Press, complete, is ap-: proximately $25,000. This estimate is based on the cost of a similar press purchased by the Yale Daily News and on estimates submitted by dealers of the equipment need ed Of the goal of $25,000, the classes of 1948 and 1949 contri buted a total. of $12,750. If the class of '5O follows suit with an estimated $B,OOO, all but $4,250 will have been gathered. Al though. Collegian, Inc., has not committed itself, it has nearly $4,000 available, and we believe it would probably give financial suppoit to a. Student Press. Other funds could be r a i s e d through personal loans from in terested alumni. From the financial standpoint, then, the Student Press can be realized with the $B,OOO gift from the class of '5O. This will be a boon to the Daily Collegian, Froth, Engineer, Farmer and other publi cations, and therefore will be of direct benefit to the students served by these organs. MEN!

With a large and continually expanding student population, the size of the Daily Collegian is fast becoming inadequate. Be cause the Collegian leans heavi ly upon advertising volume for its operation' revenue and be cause that advertising is limited in a town of the size and char acter of State College, printing more issues and more panes of the Collegian is impossible un less printing costs can be lower ed. Mechanically speaking, it is be coming increasingly hard to have the paper printed by the limited facilities of a similarly-expanding town-newspaper, the Centre Daily Times. The worth of a Student Press is obvious. When the class of '5O votes today and tomorrow at Student Union, we urge them to firiish the job begun by '4B and '49. —Ted Allen, '5O All-College president; —Tom Morgan, ex-editor, Daily Collegian.
