Responsibility Lies, With the Student •With two weeks of classes completed, Penn State’s better than 4000 new students probably feel much more “at home” than they did just a little while ago. f It doesn’t take too long to get acquainted with the Penn State way of doing things. And after a while, even the Penn State way begins to make sense. Two weeks of Penn State should have also proved to the new crop of Penn Staters the wisdom of Prexy Eisenhower’s convocation warning that “You and you alone are respon sible for your education.” ; ,The College can provide the facilities, the classrooms, the laboratories; the faculty can provide the means by which knowledge is transmitted; hut only you—the students —can provide the desire to learn. Hunger' for knowledge and the desire for truth have been the greatest driving forces in the history of man. These same two-great yearn ings, infused in the individual can be the secret of scholastic achievement. Of last - year’s freshman class, 275 are now’'' enrolled in the Division of Intermediate Regis tration, virtually all of them because of scholas tic deficiencies. It is an accepted fact that the first year in college is the roughest. The ad justment to college, from, the social, as well as the academic point of view, is a _ difficult one. Students having difficulty making that tran sition will find there are many on campus will ing and anxious to help them. The services of the offices of the deans, the Psychological Clinic, and the dormitory advisers are all de signed to help the student over the rough spots in college. But the responsibility to learn lies with the individual. Without that responsibility, no stu dent can be helped. To paraphrase a famous quotation, “Penn State can only help those who help themselves.” .CrftZGttG • • • Saturday, September 29 NAVAL RESERVE RADIO UNIT, Oct. 1, 200 Engineering E, 7 p.m. PENN STATE BIBLE FELLOWSHIP, 405 Old Main, ITT a.m. and 7:30 p.m. PENN STATE BIBLE FELLOWSHIP, picnic in Hort Woods, 5:30 p.m. Monday, October I GRADUATE CLUB, Old Main lounge, 7:30 pun. - For Best Results Use Collegian Classifieds r^'WARNEHfa^ tk&umm “GYRAKO de BERGERAC” with s£& CARY GRANT JEANNE CRAIN , ‘PEOPLE WILL TALK’ EXTEA PEP-SADDLER Fight Pictures QiMtkd&it REX ALLEN in "rodeo mr THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE SUiLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Support Gan Aid Football Team Now is the time for all good Penn Staters to come to the aid of their, football team. Now is the time to get'out and give your alii out support to YOURvfootball team. Get' on the bandwagon now: - This afternoon the Nittany Lions' will open the 1951 season on Beaver Field and starting this afternoon YOUR team is going' to need YOUR support more than it’s ever needed it before. The Lions have their work cut out for them this year. • ' ,J - ’ - Faced with their toughest schedule in many, many years—a tough schedule which begins Lions are going to need more than a good ball team to" come’ through with a win ning season. They will be up against some great teams this year. If they are going to win their share of games, they’re going to have to be a spirited, fighting, good ball team. ’ l . The Lions are a good ball team. They haye fight and spirit. But as Coach Rip Engle puts it, “Even the Cleveland Browns can improve.” One sure way to improve Penn State’s-team is to give it all out support while it’s on the field. Did you ever watch a gymnast-climbing the rope during ’a gymnastics meet in Rec Hall? Ever wonder why his team mates stood up and yelled while he was' climbing? Did you’ ever wonder why you’re-not allowed to career during a boxing bout in Rec Hall? It’s because a cheering crowd gives trie ath lete something extras In gymnastics it -is, an added asset. In boxing it is, too. But in a sport like college boxing, it could lead to trouble should one boxer become too spirited. A huge cheering crowd in the Beaver Field stands today .could mean the difference between a Penn State win and a Penn State defeat. Which do you want?, . , Now is the time for, all good Penn Staters to come to the aid of trieir football team.- Safety Valve From Canoe to Bottle TO THE EDITOR: My seven-year-old brother is an ardent Froth fan and this canoe business l has upset.him considerably. He has been nervous and irritable ever since the story broke and. there are definite signs that he may return to the bottle. I do not know who is to blame but I should certainly think that if you know of the canoe’s whereabouts you had better confess. • Letter cut Ed. Note: Again the Froth staff has used the Collegian to get into legitimate print. If the "funny book" would grant the Collegian staffers a Hearing in its columns, many things ' could be straightened out. The person referred to in the letter can be none other than the Froth editor. No one else could be so nervous over the incident that he would have to hit the bottle.

What can be said of Egypt can" be applied to all of the Middle East countries. The internal and external politics of these coun tries-is almost incapable of solu tion. Explosive nationalism and innate hatred of one country for its neighbor, or Britain, make the area a keg of powder that can be touched off at any moment. Included in the lineup of those countries that may sink into the slime of communism rather than cooperate, with anything. British are Jordan, Iran, and Egypt. -The others might naturally be pushed in..
