Editorial Opinions.. Since a new staff will take over The Oaily Collegian beginning next week we are taking this last opportunity to reflect over a few of the things we wrote during this past year. Student Government . • Not all failures of student government can be traced to disapproval of the administration; some are definitely traceable to lack of imagin ation or of perseverance on the part of the stu dent leaders. • Advisory Board idea is one of the better institutions to spring up in student government in a long while as far as original and worthwhile ideas are concerned. • The Leadership Training program, if given proper handling, can bo a very fine thing for student government. • All-University Cabinet needs to be able to separate trifles from really important con siderations. Their time is valuable—whether they know it or not. • The handling of the Supreme Court issue over the year was one of the biggest fiascoes ever in student government—especially in view of its final disappearance. • The concept of getting “new blood” into student government is one which should not be laughed off as we fear will be the case. • Student! who criticize without even getting up enough energy to vole are worse than the Just plain apathetic ones, who are bad enough. The National Scene ... • The United Nations fears another world war so much that it is loathe to put much teeth into its directives deploring actions of belliger ent nations. Thus belligerent nations may start one on their own. • Southern segregation efforts went too far with indignities la Negroes, and promises by Northern politicians sounded hollow when the going got rough • The United States, like the U.N. might have been able to use well-placed threats (not only military ones) to make advances in the Mid- East crisis. Academic Life ... •No matter what they say about television courses, they are the coming thing, and if every one concerned gets used to the fact much good can come of what may turn out to be a new concept in education. •Students who have a good average and who have demonstrated mastery of course work de serve to be let off the pressure of a final exam ination to let them more time to devote to a course in which they might not be doing so well. • Technical students must realize that a lib eral education is becoming more and more im portant to them. Fraternities, Sororities . . . • Panhel'has shown that it realizes the short comings of its terrible rushing system and meth od of election. We hope that the reforms con tinue as they are- sorely needed. • FMA could have worked with full coopera tion of the fraternities. We’d like to see IFCPA use the potential it possesses. • IFC did a good thing when it passed the Todif INTERNATIONAL FOLK DANCE, 7:l® to 11:5® p.m., HUB Ballroom y SCROLLS. 12:34, Gmnjto Playroom Guest to Preside At Psych Meeting Dr. Lester P.

STATE COLLEGE PEi DAVE RICHARDS. Business Manager The Last Time freshman drinking rule. The handwriting on the wall can be mighty persuasive. • Spirit ef Greek Week should prevail throughout the entire year. Administration . . . • Football half-holiday and Christmas vaca tion should be parts of the University calendar every year, with ample time provided for each. • Although Food Service may come under what it considers undue criticism, as long as it continues to enrage.the student it is supposedly serving this criticism will also continue on the old assumption that if you ask for more than you need you’ll get what you want. Indies . . . • Leonides has provided itself with Iho groundwork for an active group. We hope that it will work to these ends. • TIM isn’t ready for a Cabinet seat yet, but it made a good move with its reorganization. Campus Politics . .. • Political parties may be closer to eventual abolishment than they think. They need, like so many other groups, to shape up. • Platforms continue to be non-realistic for the most part and either sensationalize or trifle. • Loose party organization is making a farce out of Ike elections. Culture ... •We are pleased that we could help Lan tern te the mild success (or strong perhaps) which it enjoyed this year. It can grow and prosper with a little more interest. • Raising fees for culture program was not a bit hideous te us. Forced feeding may be the necessary start culture needs here. • Froth is eut of it (still.) Collegian Policy ... •We print names of those involved in inci dents with boreugh officials, and we wished we could do the same for the University of fenders with the belief that it may do good instead at harm and that it definitely con tributes te the news story. •We give no free publicity lo anyone. Story must be news lo the general student body or it isn't printed. • Most important of all—any action taken by The Daily Collegian is up to the Senior Board’s judgement. Any quarrel with Collegian is a quarrel with the newspaper judgement of the Senior Board. Miscellaneous ... • Campus Chest must be preserved in a rea sonably efficient state. It can’t be done any other way. There are too many charities. • Newspapers should be sold in the HUB. • So-called Impersonality of the University must be expected with an institution of this size. Benefits of Penn State far outweigh de tractions such as this one. Goodbye Dept.... Vnlrersitf Hoa,ital Paul B.uther. George Goldstein. Rebert Jaecques. Sudhir Kumar. Miita Mechlovrita.

There are the well-known outward changes which we all recognize, but there is another type of change which is hard to describe in words. Someone remarked the other day that it was like begin ning a new semester. The warm weather is a part of this inward change; also it seems that every one’s outlook or attitude has changed. This nature stuff is hard to figure out sometimes. The outward signs are pretty j easy, though. Tennis courts place high on the list of popular spots . . . ditto the golf course . . . hat societies are coming slowly out of hibernation to seek new, fresh leaders who will carry on proudly the tra dition of service to the University (blare of trumpets) . . . study ing becomes laborious . . ..ROTC instructors are happy for they can march their charges across the greensward . . . said charges are unhappy . Art students move outdoors in droves eager to reproduce tho architectural wonders of the Helzel Union Building . . , studying becomes drudgery . . . the West Halls courtyard is once again full of lounging, longing freshmen . . . the crowds at baseball games get larger . . . the ever-present (and necessary) grass cutters of the Physical Plant once again resume their ageless con flict with lecturing professors . . . grass mowers win out . . . studying becomes more diffi cult ... Bermuda shorts back in fash ion . .. senior class gift once more an issue ~. many activity groups holding annual banquets at which members tell each other what a great job they have done during the past year ... a certain group of seniors panic because they haven’t ordered their caps and gowns . . . another group of sen iors also panic because they haven’t yet found jobs . . . every one looks forward to Spring Week ... concentration on studies nears the impossible ... * Upperclassmen in the crowded West Halls courtyard tell loung ing, longing freshmen about panty raids and riots of the past . . .

All these things mark the com ing of spring to Penn State. To us there is one more, however, that is very important. A new staff takes over the operations of The Daily Collegian. This is the last tftne students will be forced to fight through an ungrammatical, mixed-up, insig nificant, inane mess of drivel called, “According to Moyle’’ (whoever he is). In a year of column-writing we have tried to be at various instances funny, informative, ser ious, persuading, sarcastic and (in precious few cases) profound. We hope that we haven’t either bored or insulted anyone to a great extreme. In following weeks there will be new columnists appearing in this hallowed spot (under Bibler; where could' bo better?) and perhaps some readers will think they don't know whereof ihey write and that they should take a good course in journal ism. But have patience, accord ing to Moyle they'U do a fine job. ——3o— $6OOO U.S.,Steel Grant Awarded to University A grant of $6OOO for a 2-year period beginning in September has been given to the University by the United States Steel Foun dation, Inc., to support a grad uate fellowship in metallurgy.
