Hold Your Breath: This Is Penn State
The thousands of alumni returning to the
University for what promises to be one of the
better football games in the history of Penn
State sports will find many changes and addi
tions around the campus which will literally
take their breath away.
Perhaps most impressive will be the new
Hetzel Union Building opened only last Feb
ruary on the University's 100th birthday.
In addition to the splendid leisure facilities
available in the HUB, alums will find the Uni
versity's own post office from which over one
million letters have been issued bearing the
cancellation, "University Park, Pa."
In the process of completion the alumni will
see the Helen Eakin Eisenhower Memorial
Chapel and additional wings to the Infirmary.
The chapel will fulfill a long-standing need in
the University community and will also serve
to perpetuate the memory of the wife of Penn
State's renowned president, Dr. Milton S. Eisen
hower. •
The infirmary additions represent a big step
forward in handling the health needs of the
University's ever-increasing student body.
Another project only recently completed is
the nuclear reactor behind the Nittany Dorm
area. In this building Penn State scientists are
carrying out research which will greatly aid the
national welfare and further enhance the Uni
versity's reputation.

Protests Tickets Curbs
TO THE EDITOR: It seems to me that it is
time for someone to remind the Athletic At
sociation that sale of tickets is final. Additions,
qualifications, restrictions, and the like, con
cerning the use of tickets aren't established
after their sale.
It is customary that restrictions governing
the use of tickets be printed on therm Generally,
in situations such as this, new tickets are issued
to replace the erroneous set.
Many students have made arrangements for
others to use the tickets which they found
,themselves unable to use. After all, is it not
better to have someone in the stands cheering
our team than to have an empty seat? Unless
the AA feels that they need not follow cus
tomary procedure, perhaps they should sit back
and take not.
We all hope they don't make the same errors
next year.
Living
Alumni
The University claims ap
proximately 54,000 living al
umni, of whom 49,000 are on
the active .mailing list of the
Alumni Association, according
to figures released by the as
sociation.
The figure of 49,000 represents
those alumni for whom ,the As
sociation has a correct address.
Of these, 12,085 are paid mem
bers of the Alumni Association.
This number, too, is approximate,
since it fluctuates from week to
week. Four thousand, five hun
dred fifteen of these paid mem
bers are lifetime members.
Mrs. Helen Jackson Reber, now
residing in St. Petersburg, Fla.,
claims the distinction of being the
University's oldest living alumna,
both in age and years since grad
uation.
Mrs. Jackson graduated in
1885 and is 93 years old. Although
an invalid, she is reported in good

Registration for Alumni re
turning to the University this
weekend is being held on the first
floor of the Hetzel Union Build
ing. opposite the Hetzel Union
desk.
, A spokesman for the Alumni
Association pointed out that this

alumni, through the Alumni
Fund, have contributed $56,921
toward the furnishings of the
building during the past three
years.

Alumni registration has been held

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
These are to mention but a few of the Uni
versity's recent physical improvements. Many
more buildings have been completed and plans
are in the air and on the drawing b?ards for
many more much-needed facilities.
Academically, the University has progressed
far beyond the dreams of the founders of the
Farmers High School. A true University now
composed of nine colleges, the newest of which
is Business, Penn State stands high among the
nation's educational institutions.
Next
sponsoring a convocation to evaluate the contri
bution of land-grant institutions to higher edu
cation. This is truly a sign of the University's
pioneering endeavor in education.
The University's administration, headed by
Prexy Milton S. Eisenhower, as able, well
respected, and popular president as has ever
headed an educational institution, has the re
spect of the faculty and student body alike.
The contributions of the Prexy to Penn State
are innumerable and it will suffice to say in our
limited space that no man has done more for
the University.
._The alumni can feel confident that their
school is in good hands and is ever-progressing.
They can be sure that the whole of the Univer
sity, students, faculty, and administration, are
all working toward a common goal—a better
Penn State. —The Editor.

random during registration, said
things have certainly changed in
the 51 years since his enrollment.
"In those days, Old Main was
practically the entire College,"
Barbey said. He said the only
other buildings on campus were
the Armory, Carnegie Library,
just being dedicated, and McAl
lister Hall, which was under con
struction.
The Agriculture Building and
the chemistry building no w
known as Walker Laboratory al
so stood then.
Barbey said enrollment at the
College then was approximately
575, and a good freshman by the
end of his first year could call
every student by his first name.
The ration was a little different
then, too, Barbey said. To his re-1
collection, he said, there were
seven women in the entire col
lege,
and none in his class.
Most of the dormitories were
located in Old Main, Barbey said,
along with all the offices and sev
eral classrooms.
