Beginning Of `New Era' Closes Today brings to an end, at least for the Collegian, the first year of a new era for Penn State. The cry of "new era" was heard many times at the beginning of the school year last fall but gradually as we moved in to the body of the '5O-'5l semesters, we forgot that we really were part of the change. With a new President, recently re-titled "Prexy," a new football coach, freshmen on campus for the first time since the war, and finally Air Force men marching to a singing cadence past the women's dorms, we skipped merrily along becoming adjusted to the new things almost automatically. New buildings appeared where none had been before and even now large holes are marking the campus waiting to spring up into more new buildings. Almost as soon as the great post-war evolu tion period has passed, a new kind of evolution must be made. We must adjust to a new bigger feeling about the College. We are expanding. We have been expanding for years but the ex pansion is not complete. The new development is being slowed down a bit by the United Nations war and the new draft (although the addition of 700 more wo men to the campus population will not be con sidered slowing down by all) but we are taking all conditions in stride as we move along. We have been living in a changing environ ment, the evironment will change more during the summer, and more changes will be encount er when we return next fall. "It's all part of the game" but it is fun growing with the College and it will be much more fun if we remain aware of it as we move along. First WD Complaint When it was first announced that a student faculty committee would set up a priority sys tem to select West Dorm residents we com mented that no matter what decision was reached, there would be complaints. Well, we'll be first in line. One of the chief faults of the system set up by the committee is the fact that one of the requirements for residence in he West Dorms is that students must have filled out a pledge circulated by the council. The pledge was circulated among independent men simply as a poll that would indicate how many men would be interested in living in the WHO Above rebus U.S. Presich What did 1 Fill in squares. h you want to check your solution ask the business manager of this, your 1:0PO4 Edward Shanken Business Mgr. —Bud Fenton THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Safety Valve Supports Editorial On Gift TO THE EDITOR: I find myself quite concerned about .the letter in Saturday's Collegian submitted by the senior class gift committee chairman and the senior class president. First of all, I am wondering where those men received their information that $5OOO was the figure requested for the campus radio sta tion. Certainly they never received this infor mation from the radio station committee. This figure was discussed only in connection with setting up the system on campus, not with the setting up of a system' that would include the fraernities. If the committee had thoroughly completed the job they were supposed to carry out, that of selecting and investigating possi bilities submitted by the senior class for the senior class gift, it would• have discovered that the total cost of establishing the station was much more than $5OOO. Furthermore, I see no justification for a small committee making a decision as to where the senior class gift should' go after the class as a whole has already made a decision. A majority vote is a majority vote and is hardly subject to a change by a small committee whose only function is to investigate and select possibilities for the Senior gift. I am wholeheartedly in favor of the memorial idea suggested by the committee, but it would probably be much better as an All-College loan fund set up from the proceeds from the Spring Comicial rather as a senior class fund from the money allocated to another purpose by the class itself. In closing I would like to state that the radio station committee firmly supports the editorial by Mr: Fenton. —Emerson Jones, All-College secretary-treasurer (retiring) and co-chairman of the radio" station committee Gazette .1..

"If you had been wearing one of the new Palm Beach* suits," Judge Solomon Wise sternly told Burns, "you would not have made such a spectacle of yourself." Judge Wise gave Burns the op tion of paying a $29.95 fine or spending the $29.95 for a new Palm Beach suit. As a safeguard against passible future mental lapses, Burns chose two Palm Beach suits from the handsome selection of ' checkS, stripes and smart solid colors• at TACK HARPER'S. "0 h , boy," Burns grained, "these new, smooth, lightweight Palm Beaches are like wearing, no suit at all. And I'd really be crazy, not to love the new patented Fiber-Lock method that bounces out wrinkles and locks in smooth feel." * Reg. T.-Nl.:onal - 11- Sanford, Inc.
