Wanna Buy a Lantern?
The Fall laaue of the Lantern, literary maga
zine, will appear Monday lot Audent consump
tion, and it is hoped fervently that it will be
Consumed.
This issue. the first of the vear for the semi
annual magazine. represents another try by
students to establish a literary publication which
students will support.
There have been tries in past years. These
have all fad. d after varying lengths of time.
Some only had a life of a semester or of a year
before folding. Others kept limping along hope
fully for years before dying out. It has seemed
that a literary magazine had no place at Penn
State.
The current edition of Lantern is an out
growth of the now-defunct Liberal Arts Lan
tern, which was strictly a publication of the
Liberal Arts Student Council. The magazine
continued Into this year with the same name
but under All-University auspices.
Last year the LA Lantern turned out two
pretty good looking issues full of original short
stories and poems written for the most part by
students (some were written by graduate stu
dents and faculty inc-mbers.l
However, the magazine for all its good looks
was still beset with many troubles. It had a
hard time getting enough stories and ocher ma
terial to fill a substantial number of pages. Also
it was short on staff members and couldn't get
students to come out for the staff. The result
was that both issues of this magazine just barely
made it to press.
_This year there has been a lot of talk about
increasing the cultural atmosphere around cam
pus. We agree that this should be done. We
have even given our support to such a crude
method of instilling culture as a mandatory in
crease in student fees.
The negative response we received from the
students (it was otOy a few letters) showed that
Who Dropped The Ball?
Every year we see an abundance of fine ideas
and suggestions brought forth. But most of them
are never carried out.
Many hours of hard work from either stu
dents or faculty are poured into each recom
mendation. Most of these become wasted hours.
The greatest waste is not in the hours lost but
in the valuable ideas lost.
Many of the suggestions represent a realistic
analysis of a situation. Often the suggestions are
never accepted because certain individuals or
groups arc unwilling to accept change even
though the suggested change might more ade
quately meet the present situation.
We feel that it is very bad for red tape and
reactionary individuals to hold up or dispense
with new ideas merely• because they are not
willing to accept change.
The new drinking rule suggested by Women's
Student Government Association has been
stashed away and no actiun has been taken. If
the rule went into effect women students over
21 would be allowed to drink. At present no
women are allowed to drink.
The 'WSGA recommendation is excellent and
should be passed. We feel that if those con
cerned would evaluate the situation realistically
the suggested regulation would be put into
effect.
What did happen to the WSGA recommenda
tion?
The faculty in the College of Education has
been quite weak in meeting the educational
needs of the students. We are looking at the
present situation for student teachers. During
the eight weeks that they are on campus and in
the education block they receive almost no edu
cation at all. These students pay tuition and
room and board for this period. What do these
students get for their money? Very little we
think.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
many other students definitely disliked the idea
of a raise in fees.
We favored the uplift of culture at Penn State
but it seemed very apparent that there are a
great many phases to this word "culture" and
that the transition to more culture had to come
more smoothly to be effective and lasting.
One good way to help this change along is to
firmly entrench a good literary magazine on
campus. It should not be a big glamorous publi
cation which will hit the streets with a smash
as if it is something new and different.
Lantern and its predecessors represent an in
stitution which have been trying in vain for
years to become part of the Penn State scene.
It is a necessary part. Therefore, this literary
magazine will help the "Culture Crusade" im
mensely and might even become the focal point
of the whole movement.
Lantern is something which has been and is
merely trying to stay. This year a great many
campus groups are contributing cold cash to
see that it does stay. Out of the hands of the
Liberal Arts student council it has become-the
University's baby.
The staff of the Lantern, anxious also to make
the magazine stick, has gone all out to round
would-be literary talent and has even gone as
far as publishing more_ copies than ever before.
This is an optimistic note on which to start a
year of publication. This appears to be a very
important trial which Lantern faces. If the
students turn their backs on an effort which is
All-University sponsored, so to speak, it looks
bad for any venture into publishing a literary
magazine.
If Lantern fails this year, there will probably
be others which will try in subsequent years.
However, let's not give them a chance. Let's
have a campus literary magazine.
Several suggestions have been made to the
faculty concerning the ed block. So far none
of the ideas or recommendations have been ac
cepted. We suggest that if the faculty prefers not
to accept these suggestions it finds some better
way to meet the present deplorable situation.
The Centennial Convocation which was held
during the fall of 1955 brought forth numerous
worthwhile ideas. At the final meeting it was
suggested and strongly recommended that more
meetings be held to further the discussions
which had been started. Very little has been
done in the area since then.
It would not only be worthwhile for the work
to be continued, it is almost a necessity for the
University. Many of the questions brought up at
These meetings are problems which the Univers
ity must face in the future or is facing at
present.
A more recent problem is the calendar situ
ation. Each year the student body procrastinates
on this matter. Then about two or three months
beforehand it asks the administration to make a
major revision in the calendar. We suggest that
All-University Cabinet mend its ways and start
working right now for a change in the dates
for Christmas vacation for next year.
A great many important issues are finding
their way to the deadletter file. We hope more
responsibility will be shown and that many
people will become more open to change.

"rd like some of you to think of this term paper due Saturd
as a 'Do-It-Yourself project.'
'57 Comes With Dames
Diamonds and Thorns
1957 rolled in with quieter celebrations than in past years,
predictions for almost everything and another list of the
twelve best dressed females.
The best dressed list contained the perennials such 'as
the Duchess of Windsor and Mrs. William Paley. wife of the
president of CBS. Princess Grace of Monaco, formerly of
Philadelphia. also was included.
In fact she made the top three.
Only one flaw—this 'year the
top twelve emerged as the top
14 due to two ties.
Along with predictions for the
new year came a flood of resolu
tions. The most notable campus
wise are those compiled by the
anonymous Clyde Klutz, self-pro
claimed burgess of University
Park.
The resolutions were liberally
scattered on mall benches and
such when the students returned
from an extended holiday. Liter
ally, that is.
Some of 'the more humorous
and less offensive are as follows:
1. We will replace the Old
Main chimes with the song "Home
for the Holidays." Splendid sug
gestion! With approximately 344
shopping days remaining until
next Christmas perhaps the pow
ers-that-be could arrange for the
students to spend a • reasonable
portion of them at home.
3. We will all serve as justices
of the Penn State Supreme Court.
Would you like to be Queen for a
Day? Or as Shakespeare said,
"Much Ado About Nothing."
10. We will help Lion's Paw run
the University. Tsk, tsk, Mr.
Klutz. Things are bad enough.
Too many cooks spoil the broth
. . . even more.
15. We will hire someone to re
move all those stickers on the
campus. We don't need fewer
stickers; we need more doors.
17. We will try to get student
discounts from Guy Mills. Good
try.
While some of Klutz's resolu
tions are on the borderline it
would seem that in many cases
he simply calls a spade a spade.
Switching the suit to diamonds
—it appears the scads of coeds re
turned from vacation sporting a
girl's best friend on the fourth
,finger left hand. If the ratio was
bad it's even worse now. Many
engagements were termed The
Big Surprise.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'ern.
Seems that like Froth Editor Ron
Caserella has joined up with the
Daily Collegian as a cartoonist.

legian it_ may be a thankless
task, but working in the news

room is usually worth a laugh
a minute. Yesterday one of our
budding junior boarders asked.
'Which way does the tower of
Pisa lean, left or right?"
Along with the coming in of
the New Years comes the need
for new calendars. All last year
nary a calendar could be found
around Collegian. This year it
happened that almost everyone
trudged back from vacation with
a calendar. With everything from
the Esquire girl variety to the
country scene type you • can't es
cape seeing calendars in any di
rection.
Widow's Will
Provides Grants
To University
-The University has been named
one of four Pennsylvania colleges
at which scholarships will be of
fered in the will of a widowed
recluse who died Christmas day,
according to the Associated Press.
Mrs. Mary A: Fox of Lock Ha
ven specified in her will that the
Mary Ann Fox Foundation be•
established and pay the tuition
at the University, Lycoming Col
lege, Bucknell, or Lock Haven
State Teachers College for "de
serving boys and girls" from
either Clinton or L y coming
County.
Mrs. Fox has .left a $154,000
estate for scholarships at one of
the four colleges.
Continued interest from the
funds would pay the tuition of
four students at one time, an
attorney estimated yesterday. He
said the $154,000 figure. based on
an initial inventory, included $55,-
000 in real estate and $85,000 in
securities.
Mrs. Fox directed that the stu
dents be selected by a committee
composed of the presidents of the
four institutions and the public
school superintendents from the
two counties by August of .each
year. .
The Jordan Fertility Plots, old
est of their kind in the country.
were laid out-in 1881 to test the
effect of various fertilizers upon
crops.
