Welcome to the Engineering school of The Pennsylvania State College. Congratulations on tak ing your first step to joining an honorable and ancient profes sion. The road to professional status is a long and difficult one. Only those who are willing to work long and hard and who are gifted with the ability to think logically and clearly can ever reach that goal. But the goal once reached is well worth while. The satisfaction of creat ing machines and structures which the human race wants and -needs is, in itself, a great reward. . In some ways, it is fortunate • that there is today a tremendous demand for engineers. It has been estimated that the country can employ 44,000 new engineers every year. This number is needed to meet the demands of our .expanding economy .and to replace those who are retiring from the profession. We are not graduating that many new engi neers each year. Even with the swollen enrollments which fol lowed World War 11, we hardly reached this figure and now the ;number is" steadily declining. It will be many years before the trend can be reversed and supply will equal deinand. All of this means that the pro- fession. needs you. It has long - 'been recognized the world over that America has reached its po sition of preeminence in material things because of the work of its engineers. We have always known how to make better ma chines and more of them than the other nations of the world. Unfortunately, we have not al ways been first in new ideas and new inventions. For years we have had to look to the Euro pean nations for this kind of leadership. Today, however, that leadership is no longer virulent. We in America must try to as sume it. It is my hope that among this class will be some of the scientists who will provide tech nical leadership for the years to come. ERIC A. WALKER, Dean LaVie Pictures Campus life, Senior Class LaVie, recognized by those with a smattering of French as "the life," is the name given the Col lege yearbook. LaVie attempts to liVe up to its name by portray ing campus life, leaders, and stu dents with emphasis on graduat ing seniors. The annual, distributed late in May, is given only to seniors. Cost of a LaVie, now $l4 per person, is paid in installments by the individual as part of his fees, beginning his second semester. There is no advertising in the yearbook. Because the staff decided stu dents would rather look at pic tures, ;the amount of copy was reduced in favor of more photog raphy in last May's issue. Pictures of seniors, arranged according to school, are accom panied by short summaries of activities. Sections of LaVie recog nize senior . personalities, campus queens, activities, organizations and campus leaders. Candidates for LaVie begin work in their junior year. At the end of the year, the senior board is chosen by the outgoing staff.

Osborn To you who are newly arrived _it Penn State we extend a most cordial welcome. The whole Col 'ege is yours to enjoy and to use n the broadening of your ex periences. Whether or not you are registered in the MI school, we hope you will become ac quainted with the beautiful min eral and art exhibits and with the program and objectives of the school. Pennsylvania is the leading mineral industries state, and its economy is based on the recov ery and processing of minerals. In its research program, the school works closely with all the mineral industries of the Com monwealth, such as coal, pe troleum and natural gas, steel, glass, clay, slate and so on, to perform its obligations to the citizens of Pennsylvania. Con tinued efforts are needed to keep these industries in a healthy condition, especially as our rich supply of natural resources dwin dles, and ways must be found of using lower grade or substi tute materials. Men and women trained in these fields are vitally needed, and the supply has never met the demand. There are many areas in which one may concen trate within the three broad di visions of the earth sciences, mineral engineering, and mineral technology. We shall be happy to discuss with you your plans and your problems, especially if you live in a mineral industries community. Bear in mind that we are here because you are here, and we want to be of max imum help to you. ELBURT F. OSBORN, Dean ASAE Awarded Trophy The Penn State student branch of the American- Society of Agri cultural Engineers has been pre sented the 1953 gold trophy award of the Farm Equipment Institute. The trophy is presented each year• to the student branch sub mitting the most outstanding, re port of the branch's school year activities. The TAVERN A Traditional Meeting Place at Penn State!

JACKSON, Dean Athletic Policy Set by Board The Athletics Advisory Board works with members of the ad ministration and the School of Physical Education and Athletics in determining athletic policies. The board is made up of faculty members and three student repre sentatives. Students on the board are Richard Lemyre, All-College president; David Jones, editor of the Daily Collegian; and Gerald Maur ey, Athletic Association president. At the three meetings the board holds each year, policies are de cided, problems are discussed, and advice is given to the director of physical education concerning the athletic program at the Col lege. Screening committees for floats and announcements are set up. Ernest B. McCoy, director of physical education and athletics, must approve board decision! be fore they go into effect. The first meeting of the board will be held this fall. Agriculture Home Economics Freshmen: Greetings to you! If you have planned your col lege program as preparation for all aspects of life, you will find course offerings and activities in all parts of the campus that will serve you well. The investment in college years, no matter what the future is to be, brings greatest returns if the diverse resources of the institution as a whole are con sidered, and chosen carefully for one's purposes. The unknown quality of the future makes such individual selections even more important than in more certain times when limited patterns may more possibly suffice. Fortunately, the land grant in stitutions -were designed to pro vide opportunities in a wide range of "pursuits and profes sions." The communities of Pennsylvania are annually seek ing many more graduates in home economics and hotel ad ministration than are being grad uated from all the colleges and universities in Pennsylvania put together. Your best effort is needed in preparing for this service to the families of the - state. Challeng ing research, courses, and extra curricular activities are avail able throughout the campus; best wishes to you in making maximum use of them. GRACE M.
