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.”

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.

FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES
Uniat About
Egypt
Now that Greece and Turkey have been approved, as possible
members of the North Atlantic'Treaty Organization and with-talk
of a Mediterranean pact similar to NATO, Egypt and the Middle'East
will in all probability figure in future plans of the Western, bloc.
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.. '
Internally, much of the pea
santry within some of the coun
tries are becoming uneasy; Op

While it is true that the.'Middle
