Eric A.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Physical Education
The School of Physical Educa
tion and Athletics welcomes all
of you new students to the cam
pus. You will begin to get ac
quainted with us as soon as the
College Health Service advices
you as to your health status. We
have activities that range from
the high physical requirements
of our twelve varsity sport teams
to the first aid courses, health
courses, social recreation courses
or individual skills. Golf, tennis,
horseback riding, angling and
square and folk dancing are ex
amples of recreational pursuits
available in our program.
The two years of required phy
sical education will ,polish up
your skills and enable you.to en
joy much wider participation in
our intramural, recreative and
intercollegiate programs. Volun
tary participation is the rule of
the junior and senior years of
college. Try, in these first two
years, to evaluate your health
and fitness and attain the skills
you expect to enjoy the rest of
your life in recreative exercise.
These skills should help you to:
1. Handle your body easily and
gracefully.
2. Develop habits of social and
recreational participation through
enjoyable physical activity.
3. Enrich your "joi de vivre"
through self-expression in sports,
the dance, and physically - active
fun.
