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

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.

College, the poll was unofficial. The distribu

told his men not to bother with the pledge be
cause it didn't mean a thing.
Under these circuvastances, it is difficult
to understana 4 whfal l ie t signing of this pledge
has been made a prerequisite for living in the
West Dorms.

Those sad forms dragging

these days are a species known
as graduating seniors. Like false

"Mind Went Blank,"
Bus Stripper Says
Charged with disorderly con
duct because , .he took off a' heavy
winter suit in a crowded, -swel
tering bus late yesterday, ,Joe
Burns pleaded temporary insan
ity because of the heat in .Police
Court here today.
"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."
