Refusal for Late Hours a Bad Move , Senate cor ] ln) ittee on student affairs Refusal to grant late permissions, however, dealt Spring Week plans a harmful blow be- will mean the carnival must close about 10:30 tween semesters when it refused a request for p.m., or one hour before really necessary. The late Spring Carnival permissions. iate hours of Spring Carnival are its best hours.

The week was hurts the academic program as much as some progressing well, and the carnival was gaining would have us believe. another chance, when the late permission action Granting 12 o’clock permissions would not be enough of a temptation to coeds to seriously harm their scholastic standing. But refusal to grant the permissions can cut the carnival short, reduce its money-making capacity, and serious ly hurt the entire week. Defenders of the Senate action claim coeds may use 11 o'clock special permissions for the carnival if they wish. If this is true—if many coeds do use 11 o'clocks—there is no real rea son why 12 o'clocks cannot be granted. Few coeds, if any, would spend the hour from 11 p.m. to midnight studying. Gazette...

It is time to give Spring Week and the carnival another chance. The student who is lorn between studies and Spring Week should be mature and in telligent _ enough to make his own choice. If he puts social life before academic life when he cannot afford to, this is a good lime for him to learn. The Senate attitude in this situation is not warranted. A Student Welcome Penn State’s new crop of freshmen and trans fer students has arrived somewhat unceremoni ously on campus. And as classes get underway the Daily Collegian, for the student body, bids them welcome. •To those who transfer here from another institution, we extend a hope you may find here what you could not find elsewhere. To those coming into college life for the first time, we extend a hope for success. Penn State is a large institution, and some what impersonal. But this impersonality may be dwarfed in consideration of the many ad vantages of a big school. • At Penn State a student may become largely what he wants to be. He may become a good student or a poor one, an educated person or an uneducated one, perhaps even a success or a failure. , The primary concern of American education today', James B. Conant has said, is to cultivate an appreciation of the responsibilities and bene fits which come to use because we are Ameri can and free. If Penn State can do this much at least, the slay here will have been worthwhile. PLACEMENT SERVICE WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORP.

Frosh Responsibilities Stressed by Frexy Less than half of the new students arriving on campus this se mester heard President i 11on S. Eisenhower deliver his traditional welcoming address last Tuesday in Schwab Auditorium. The President told the students that although they are at the University to gain knowledge in a specialized field, they should also prepare themselves in other fields to become better individuals and citizens He'especially emphasized that the students, in their fo r years at the University, should obtain the ability to communicate with clarity and logic, a broad under standing in many fields, the qual ity of good judgment, and'an abid ing firm commitment to the free way of life, and alsc to gain through the development of strong individual character. The President said college is much different from high school where there is always someone to supervise studying. In a Uni versity, he said, "you are on your own and it's up to you whether you obtain a good edu cation or pack up your bags and go home." Nevertheless, the President ex plained there are counseling ser vices for almost all difficult situa tions in which a. student may find himself. He told the new students they should take advantage of these services whenever neces sary, and also said it is up to them to seek help whenever they are in trouble.

Less than 200 of the 474 new students on campus heard the President speak. At the meeting, All-University President Richard Lemyre explained Penn State’s student government organization.
