Coining Up: Monday Morning Blues
The new student who arrived on campus
Sunday may have thought that things were
confusing then, but at this point in orientation
week the freshman are completely bewildered
with meetings, tests, examinations and the rest
of the program that makes up orientation week.
Much as we can sympathize with them, we
feel we must warn them the hardest and most
difficult phase of their orientation as freshman
begins Monday with the advent of both classes
and customs.
Actually the two are interdependent on each
ether for a successful college education. Classes
naturally are to incull knowledge in the student
while the effects of customs contribute towards
a well rounded college education.
Customs is more than tradition or an institu
tion at the University. It is a way of life for the
student The entire customs program is designed
to heip the frosh get acquainted with the Uni
versity as well as with their fellow students.
It would be impossible however to teach new
students everything there is to know about the
University in the few weeks that customs lasts.
_Some students will never learn the names of
some of the buildings or the words to - all the
school songs. A great many others will have a
'tough time remembering the name of All-Uni
versity president, Robert Bahrenburg, although
he is probably the most often mentioned student
on the campus and students will fill that office
in the future from their own ranks.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
DAVE RICHARDS, Business Manager
A.M. puniness Mnager. Deanne Sonya; Local Ade. Mgr.,
The most important and beneficial part of
college life is the classroom work. Many in
coming students, after seeing the social life and
activities at the University, resent the 8 to 5
classroom hours as an infringement on their
personal activities, and will devote as. little time
as possible towards their studies.
It stands to reason` that when the average
college student is. completely ignorant of the
simplest everyday economics, or can't even
name more than a handful of the presidents
of the United States, he is lacking thq knowl
edge that every American citizen ought to pos
sess, not to mention that of a college student.
The lack of knowledge is unfortunate, but to
be expected. Or else there wouldn't be any
freshman classes entering the University.
It seems odd that we all come to Penn State
to gain knowledge, yet many of us go to almost
any length to avoid learning, the absolute mini
mum necessary to stay in school or graduate.
And too many other students graduate from the
college with a pitifully poor education. There is
no return on the investment of time and money
spent for a four year college education when
the student gets nothing out of it.
The test for the freshmen begins Monday.
The finish is still four long years away. Get
off on the right foot in both classes and customs
and insure an early lead in your college educa=
tion. for the student can only get out of his
education what he puts into it.

'Round the Rim
On the Agenda
Politics and Presley
It's great to be back! Everything looks pretty much the
same with the exception of automation running rampant in
Waring Hall and 4000 new faces gracing the campus. Other
than these many of the old familiar faces and too familiar
issues are with us again.
Among those returning to" campus C. V. Tummer has
again made himself quite promi
nent. In typical fashion he has
plastered all available space with
publicity. The scotch tape sticker
on our door reads 'C. V. Tummer
Esq. Forest Hills, New York and
Port Au Prince, Haiti '
Unfortunately, it has been ru
mored that C.V;s pal, Clyde Klutz
will not be back this fall due to a
deficiency in scholarship which
did not please University officials.
Clyde was reportedly spending
too much time politicking at the
Skeller.
To those freshmen still in the
dark, C. V. Tummer and Clyde
Klutz are mythical politicians
who have only one discernable
trait they are both extremely
publicity conscious. It would be
a scoop to reveal the culprits be
hind this hoax . . . but why spoil
the fun?
The national politicos also came
up with their own version of C.V.
Tummer when a maverick Re
publican nominated a Joe Smith
for the vice presidency during
the, GOP convention. That's life.
Get a good idea and somebody
steals it.
Now to change the subject to
another topic of national inter
est—one which is getting only
less attention than the forth
coming elections or the Suez
"Canal crisis—namely the Elvis
Presley craze.

statement to make, but at the risk
of being hauled off to the near

One of his many critics has
said that there is always a reason

ers. He said that the women liked
Rudy Vallee because they felt

Frank Sinatra because they felt

Elvis because they feel sorry for
