The game, the weather, and the social calendar all promise to be excellent. We hope each and every one has an enjoyable homecoming. All weekend activities at the University have been centered around the returning alums. Fra ternities have built lawn displays welcoming returning Penn Staters. They have also planned special social events aimed at entertaining this once-a-year group. We 100 welcome the alums. Those that have been away many years will no doubt, find the University a completely changed place. Those who also visited the cam pus last year will still find m3ny changes. The University has been moving ahead at an ever-increasing pace. During one year there has been a multitude of additions to the campus. The most noticeable change has taken place in the position of president of the University. Penn State is now under the able leadership of Er"; A. Walker who just recently assumed his new duties. With former president Milton S. Eisenhower went the good wishes of the entire student body. Expression of appreciation and thanks was abundant upon his leavetaking. Many alums will probably visit the new Helen Eakin Eisenhower Chapel which was just opened last month. Work is still in process on some parts of the chapel, but the Meditation Chapel and the lounge are now open. The chapel will till a long-standing vacancy in the religious needs of the student body. It will also stand as a memorial to the la<e wife of former presi dent Eisenhower. The infirmary opened a new wing this fall. Master Politico Still We had a look at one shrewd old politician last night in the Centre County courthouse in Bellefonte. What he had to say to representa tives of the press was the same old thing he has been saying for months. However, this seems to be a slightly different Duff. The senator is fighting an uphill battle against former Philadelphia mayor Joseph ClariL Duff, who has been representing Pennsylvania in Congress for six years, seems to be slightly aging but still showed us the political smooth ness he had to have to gain his present position. He had figures on the tip of his tongue and didn't hesitate to spout them out when asked about the Hell’s Canyon dam the Democrats wanted to build on the Oregon-Idaho border. Duff voted against the federal construction and control of fhe proposed dam and fold the press why last night. He said that the dam. similar to the TVA and others built by the Democrats would not do Pennsylvanians a bit of good. Pennsylvanians, he said, would pay 35 million dollars of the 500 million needed to construct the dam in the Northwest. And the only thing to come out of it would be to give the people in that territory cheap power. Duff added. ■"They're advertising in the Tennessee valley Look to the Future! Nearly five weeks ago. Dr. Eric A. Walker, then president-elect of the University, told 4000 new students gathered at Rec Hail, “All of you must experience winning a degree by yourself and for yourself.” Dr. Walker has placed upon each student the burden of securing for himself the college edu cation for which he has come to the University. It is up to every individual to create an at mosphere conducive to his gaining this educa tion. None can learn without personal effort and concentration. The importance of concentration on academic studies is emphatically stressed to each year’s incoming freshmen and transfer students. But this is only a part of gaining a college education. The complete process includes inteL lectual and physical growth, in broad areas of knowledge outside the boundaries of one's own specialization; in social life; in University life and. citizenship; and in human understanding. Perhaps this last category is the most im portant area in which a student must grow dur ing his years of college. The ability to under stand traditions different from our own; to be able to work within the same society with oth ers; and to know the foundations of human en deavor are among the very bases of a serene hu man existence.

The second wing will be opened soon to give room for additional patients. Construction was .begun last year on a new classroom building. The Hall of the Americas. It will be used primarily by the College of Business Administration. This building will be a step toward meeting the constant need for more classroom space. Construction was started last spring on new women’s dormitories south of Simmons Hall. This fall some new homo management houses were opened near these dorms. These are only a few of the many additions to the campus during the last year. And in ad dition to what has been done plans have been set down for other steps in the ever-expanding Penn State. Academic achievements during the past year were highlighted by the Centennial Convoca tion last year. Leading educators. University fac ulty. townspeople, and students participated in a program aimed at solving future problems of land grant colleges. This was a memorial step in the academic world and a tribute to the progress of the University, The administration has been constantly rais ing the academic standards of the University. Less than one third of the high school graduates who applied to the University this fall were ac cepted. This is only one indication that Penn State has been moving toward a higher and higher academic plane. Progress has been the mood where students, faculty and administration are constantly work ing for a better University. Welcome alumni to a better Penn State. —Sue Conklin Battling lhat they have cheaper power than we have." Duff said. "Thai's easy to say when the govern ment is paying the bill." However, despite all the furor Duff is raising against the Leader administration and against Clark he is still showing signs of being in a very tough fight. There are definite and repeated opinions going around that Duff has reached the end of the line. Many people say that Clark has the race sewed up. There are other things rumored to be going against the junior senator. Apparently he is financing most of his campaign out of his own pocket. The Old Guard of the party- in the state has reportedly gone against Duff and are giving him no financial support in the campaign. This may be one reason for the rumors that Duff will be a loser come November. But from observing the senator last night we lend not to count him out so quickly. Duff has been in Washington for six years. Before that he was governor of the commonwealth. He got these jobs by being, among other things, a very good polilician; It is quite probable that he has a few bomb shells left up his sleeve to land on Clark. The veteran politician may be at the end but it would- be dangerous to count him out just yet. —The Editor standing of one's fellow man is offered to stu dents beginning tomorrow night. Three promi nent theologians, representing the three major religious traditions found in America, will dis cuss during the next three days the role and the responsibilities of religion in the university. Certainly a student’s knowledge of religion— both his own and those which differ from it—is one of the most valuable gifts which can be be stowed upon him throughout his college educa tion. If, during his career at the University, a stu dent fails to grow in his religion— to determine where his beliefs lie and why—he has lost much of value lhat was potentially within his grasp. Dr. Walker said the ‘‘true university” is “not a collection of books alone, but a collection of wise and knowledgeable people.” Whether or not these persons are professors at the University, we can draw much from the ideas they advance through their wisdom and knowl edge. Our gain may be a successful basis for en joying a serene existence through the years following graduation. To achieve this goal requires individual effort.

From Here By Ed Dubbs More on Politics President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s stepped-up political campaign is making many of the grassroot Republicans very happy, but it undoubtedly has some of the top men in the Grand Old Party quietly worried. As explained in' an earlier column, many of the grass root Republicans have been yelling, “Send us Ike.” They need him. Many of themi “ must ride on his coattail to stand! p » ■ a chance of winning. This, ofjtflQ V-aOUnCII course, is. not necessarily because | 5? they are not per-' A • .

Discussion was held on a pro- Stumping is strenuous on any candidate, even Adlai E. Steven son, Estes ICefauver, and Richard Nixon, apparently all healthy men. Just think what it is on a man now turning 66 and who had two major operations within a nine- month period. If Mr. Eisenhower should miss any of his scheduled speeches or appearances, even from a com mon cold, many a voter may sud denly remember that health is sue. And, consequently, take an other look at Mr. Nixon. This possibility becomes even greater as Mr. Eisenhower steps up his campaign, and Leonard Hall, although many times a non thinking politician, could not help to be aware of this. Some readers may think me to be biased Democratically in say ing Mr. Hall is “many times a non-thinking politician.” Let me explain. Mr. Hall is not paid to think but to influence votes. The same thing is true on the Demo cratic side in Paul Butler. * * * President Eisenhower will cele brate his 66th birthday tomorrow. All Americans, regardless of po litical affiliation, should extend to him their best wishes. Did you notice where Estes Ke fauver told a group of high school students that Elvis Presley “is for Adlai and me?” Well, most high school students are too young to vote, but if the Presley craze is not limited to teenagers, as some disc jockies say. it might pay off after all. We doubt that it will swing the election Democratically, but does it point up how hard up the Democrats really are—especially for issues? SATURDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1956 “Oh, Brother!” posal now before All-University Cabinet which would offer a scholarship to a foreign student by the National Student [Association. Several members said they fav ored the proposal. Richard Fisher, sophomore in. industrial engineering' from Phil- lipsburg, N.J., was accepted by the council as a substitute delegate. Council President Donald Pat terson appointed William Kuhns man, sophomore in mechanical engineering from Allentown, and Robert Thomas, senior in agricul- tural economics, to the council elections committee. An announcement was made that students within the engineer ing college desiring to enter arti cles for publication in the Engi- neering Newsletter should de posit the articles in the sugges tion box located, in the Engineer ing library.
