GUEST EDITORIAL In view of the criticisms which fly back and forth across the campus scene every year between student groups, the faculty and the administration (many of them finding voice on this very page) we are reprinting this editorial from the Connecticut Daily Campus which deals with the question .of maturity as a cause of mishandling of projects or jobs. Guest editorials like these dealing with other broad issues which affect students all over the nation will appear in subsequent issues of The Daily Collegian. Who Is Mature? Lately there has been a great deal of com ment on various campus topics. Criticism or plaudits have been aimed at many people and things, including the Student Senate, Peter Adams• column in the Connecticut Daily Cam pus, the administration, and this newspaper's editorial policy. Much of the comment concerning students seems to hinge on whether or not the people involved in these and other projects are mature enough to make and/or publish policies, state ments etc. One student stated that he, although married and older than most students and %with family responsibilities, did not feel very mature although he hoped to be some day, and since this was true for him it must therefore be doubly true for Peter Adams. Exception must be taken to this stand. For tunately, there is one good criterion for ma turity: can a person accept responsibility and delegate himself to the tasl.: he has undertaken with confidence and good prospects of success? If the answer. to this question is yes, then the person is well on his way to becoming a re sponsible mature individual. Many veterans, many students, most faculty Engineer Does Good The Penn State Engineer has shown that it can perform seevral functions well. The main purpose of the magazine is to pro vide literature in the field of engineering for students in That curriculum. For many years the "Engineer" has been carrying feature ar ticles about new and interesting developments in the field of engineering. The monthly magazine also gains a readership outside the engineering college by publishing a girl of the month, some jokes and several good pictures each month. In addition to these regular functions of the Engineer, once a year the staff publishes a larg- HUB Confusion TO THE EDITOR: A troublesome situation has developed in the Hetzel Union cafeteria in rela tion to the various conferences held on campus. The losers in the confusion are the patrons of the cafeteria who depend upon it for noon lunch for most of the school year. The problem to whiCli I am referring is the one faced by the regular patron when he or she strolls into the HUB, with an hour for lunch, and encounters a long line of deterrents to the enjoyment of that meal—each sporting a neatly. lettered name card. I realize that these people are guests on our Say It Right! TO THE EDITOR: It has been called to my at tention that recently you published an article on the pronunciation of the name Boucke. When I first became acquainted with my hus band 1, as I had heard students do, called him "800-key." One day he looked at me slyly and with a twinkle in his eye said: "The name is "800-kuh."

Along with the self-nominating blank, two wallet-size photo graphs are necessary. Elections will be held April 3 and 4 with ballot boxes located in Sparks lobby and in front of the Het zel Union cardroom.

If they truly believe this, they will sink into the background, often permanent ly, and live out their lives in uneasy uncertainty as to their social status. Fortunately, maturity has come, or is coming, to most of us. Often, happily, those in the ad ministration, in their roles as parents-by-proxy, are prone to visualize the student body as one big, gangling, awkward teenager just entering puberty. Hence, rules are made and applied arbitrarily to one and all, little consideration being taken of those who have accepted re sponsibility and are doing their best to attain a definite goal: perhaps as a member of the community; as a student genuinely interested in his field of study, or as a veteran. It is the unwarranted and unfounded criticisms of people who are uncertain against those who are certain which do the most harm to the uni versity by adding impetus to the myth that no one below the age of 50 possibly can be mature. We learn by trial and error, and what we have learned we know. The mature person builds on what he has discovered, and may we never stop discovering. Job er issue which is mailed out all over the slate to high schools. The 48• page issue contains brief explanations of such things as freshman courses, the associate degree program, graduate school and a complete synopsis of each of the technical curriculums at the University. This particular issue of the magazine serves as a credit to the University in public relations and in giving out information about engineering curriculums easily and briefly, We hope the magazine Maintains its high standards and continues to competently perform a necessary job at the University. Valve campus. I also realize that the University is charged with the purpose of providing facili ties for such conferences as these—as it is a state institution, belonging to all the citizens of Pennsylvania and not to those fortunate enough to be here at the present time. My plea is for a system whereby visiting groups, whether they are high school students or well diggers. be assigned a specific time to use the HUB cafeteria. Perhaps accommodating them either before or slightly after the main rush periods at noon time would add to their enjoyment of our union building and to the regular patrons' appreciation. Thanks to Players TO THE EDITOR: The Penn State Players are to be congratulated for their thoughtfulness and courtesy in inviting the more than 200 Penn State students from other countries to be their guests at the opening performance of "The Madwoman of Chaillot."

"But Worthal;why did you make your box such an unusual size?" !=1:MIMI Voting in the HUB Plus Odds 'n' Ends Today is the last day we get to exercise our prerogative —the right to vote! It is easy, painless, free and only takes a few minutes from your valuable "HUB" time. As an extra inducement, voting machines have been included in this tre mendous offer. For those of you who haven't as yet taken a fling at a voting machine—they are really quite fascinating. They are foolproof gadgets which don't allow for write-ins and the like. This guar antees that Clyde Klutz and C. V. Tummer won't stand a snowball's chance in this elec tion. Just a reminder—seniors may vote for All-University officers even though they'll be among the missing next year. The seniors, that is. Not the All-University officers. A look at the voting figures for yesterday shows the seniors to be sadly lagging numerically in• the voting. Only 216 members of the class of 's7'managed to drag them selves to the polls in the Hetzel Union cardroom to vote. Some of these people will probably leave the University without ever hav ing used a voting machine. Ever wonder where poor citizenship begins? Collegian received a response to an item in last week's 'Round the Rim. It is directed to the two coeds who wondered where their share- of the fabulous per centage of Penn State males was. (Supposedly 3.5 men to every coed.). This is the answer: To Janet and Marie, Saw your letter in Collegian. Write to Box 869 Jordan for your seven matriculation numbers. These men were going to place this as a classified, but we decided to save them time and money. This era of boom, inflation and credit is reflected in an advertise ment in yesterday's Centre Daily Times. A name well-loved by children, the Lone Ranger, has been incorporated into a slogan by a credit firm. The incorpora tion—the Loan Arranger. Isn't anything sacred any more? It seems that Collegian's well known editorial writer's reader ship has extended beyond the University circle. City Editor Ed Dubbs discovered this in a chat with a State College High School freshman. The student was talking with Dubbs about his father, a well known engineering professor at the University, when Sue Conk lin appeared. Dubbs introduced Miss Conklin to the lad who ex claimed. "Are you Sue Conk lin? - I read your editoriaLs all the time. We dis cuss them, at THURSDAY. MARCH 21, 1957 y BECKY ZAHM the dinner table." While crossing campus between Willard Hall and Mineral Indus tries I overheard a student make a philosophical comment on studying. "You know," he said to his companion, "I really can't get my self enthused about a course un til after I've flunked the first bluebook." I thought this statement was particularly appropriate in the light of below-grades, mid-terms and the like. Besides—how true.
