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

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

coeds, if any, would spend the hour from 11 p.m.
to midnight studying.

came.
The Senate refusal is merely an expression
of disapproval over last year’s events. That
disapproval has already been expressed. 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.

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.

siiy is receiving a scholarship
of about $7OO a year from the
taxpayers of the state, the Presi
dent said, and he called on each
to show his appreciation by do
ing responsibly what he came
here to do—get an education.
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.
