Singing In
The Wilderness
' Penn State is a great place! It has a winning football team; it
has a Dungaree Drag; it has a Don Quixote who talks before All-
University Cabinet; it has a student-written musical; it has fertilizer
on its lawns —it really is a great place.
At least this is the type of talk, perhaps not so exaggerated,
that l we have been hearing around here for the past week.
It'reminded us of similar talk
about the University we have
been hearing for the last three
years, and furthermore, it- has
caused us to wonder if the true
value of an educational institu
tion has been lost to the Penn
State students and administra
tion, or perhaps even replaced
by some of the supposedly im
portant things mentioned above.
On the walls of each side of the
main entrance to the Pattee Li
brary sits a man with a book in
his hands, probably representa
tive of a scholar. Under the figure
on one side are the words, “The
library is a summons to scholar
ship,” and on the other side, “The
true university is a collection of
books.” We believe that supposed
ly these pithy statements are im
plying that education is the main
function of a university, and
learning, the primary purpose of
its students.
—D.M.
Looking at the first of these,
we wonder if many people don't
feel a little hypocritical upon
entering the building. For these
people the library serves as
nothing more than a meeting
place between the sexes, a glori
fied lounge. As we watch male
students who spend all their

Words on Walls
By EDMUND REISS
spare lime sitting in the library
raise their eyes every minute
to stare at' a shapely coed just
entering, we begin to doubt that
we had read correctly the lines
on the library walls.
Certainly the library isn’t any
sort of hallowed spot, but this
does seem a rather ironic situa
tion, but, we suppose anything
which is having its function par
tially replaced or altered would
seem this way.
We began to think that the sec
ond learned remark, '‘The true
university is a collection of
books,” was going to begin to be
true last Spring when we saw new
wings being attached to the li
brary. We had visions of all the
new books being added, and we
could see the library being looked
upon as a valuable part of the
University. It appears that we
are again to be disillusioned.
