Student Press Best
Gift Suggestion
Today seniors will begin ballOting for the
class gift for the Class of 1952. The vote will
decide what is to be done with approximately
$5OOO remaining from the breakage fee levied
on all students.
The balloting will take place at the Student
Union desk in Old Main when the seniors re
ceive their copies of the 1952 La Vie.
The decision members of the class must
make on the allocation of the $5OOO gift is an
important one, not simply because of the
sheer size of the gift, but because of the role
that money can play in adding something
useful to the College, something useful to
future generations of students.
Seniors will be asked to make their choice
for the class gift from among five suggestions.
Up for consideration are the student press, the
radio station, the Linesman (a statue), a class
scholarship, and a gate for the entrance to the
College at Pollock road and Atherton street.
As we have already noted,' the decision on
the gift is an important one—principally be
cause it offers members of the class the chance
to contribute something of use to the College
and the students.
One important factor to be taken into consid
eration by members of the class is that Penn
State still is not in a position to afford luxuries.
There are still many things which this College
needs, and we emphasize the word "needs."
Penn State does not "need" the statue of
the Linesman, nor does it need the entrance to
Pollock road. Both of these would be excel
lent choices for a class gift if we could afford
luxuries. Unfortunately, we cannot.
Of the five suggestions, three can be classified
among some of the things Penn State needs:
they are a student press, a radio station, and
scholarship funds. Of these three, the scholarship
funds are the least necessary as a class gift
principally because we are not woefully defi
cient in scholarships and secondarily because
scholarship money is continually being accepted
by the College from non-student sources.
But if Penn State is ever to have a student
press or a radio station, the funds must come
from the students— and the students alone.
Last year the Daily Collegian campaigned for
the radio station, using the facts presented by
the All-College Cabinet radio committee. These
facts indicated that a class gift for a radio
station would make financially possible a sta
tion. The class of 1951 gave $6OOO to the radio
station and $2OOO to a scholarship fund.
According to estimates presented to cabinet
by the radio committee recently, the estab
lishment of a radio station on the FM-slave
transmitter setup would involve a little less
than $6OOO. But, as we have indicated in pre
vious editorials, these figures are rough and
probably inaccurate to some degree.

The very fact that a College committee. has
been appointed to look into further aspects 'of
the station is evidence that not enough is known
on the technical and cost facts of the station
now.
The campaign for a student press started at
Penn State with the Class of 1948 and was picked
up by the classes of 1949 and 1950. The fund
has been swelled to $22;475. •
A study made by the student press com
mittee of the Board of Publications this year
indicates that the establishment of an offset
process ptudent press would cost $45;000 in
capital outlay. The same survey indicates that
almost $60.000 worth of- student publication
work is done each year.
A student press would be a non-profit opera
tion, so that student organizations employing
it would realize at once the percentage nor
mally marked up by commercial enterprises.
In addition, a saving would be realized by the
conversion to offset, a much cheaper method
of printing.
The student press is unique among the sug
gestions for the class gift for 1952. It is the
only gift idea which is both useful and money
saving.
Penn State 'is within grasp of a student
press. The $5OOO contribution of the Class of
1952 would put us a lot closer to that goal
and once again demonstrate that Penn l ..State
students want a student press.

Name for a Game
We thought, somewhat naively, that the
depths of 'poor taste in parlor games had been
readied last year, with the introduction by a
New York manufacturer, of "Boom". "Boom"
is a battle between the United Nations on one
side of the board, and the atomic bomb on the
other. Presumably, if the latter triumphs, every
thing goes "Boom." •
But we have discovered that the depths to
which gamemakers can submerge, given a
monetary impetus, has not yet begun to be
plumbed. Yesterday we noticed in the window
of a downtown store an immense, garishly
hued, totally frightening plastic bug. The bug
squatted menacely on a box which carried
the legend, "An exciting educational game
for all ages." The name of the game?
"Cootie."

Each spring raid seems to take on greater proportions. The
latest was staged at Purdue University, where approximately 500
men stormed through sorority houses and a women's dormitory,
cutting up bed clothing and injuring two women. Police were
