IN COLLEGIAN BUSINESS OFFICE Newspaper Schedule for Fall Semester Will Be Made Upi THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Walker cited personal respon sibility as a counterpart to in creased freedom in major choices of a student's career. as well as day-to-day decisions. "We expect you to do the best job you possibly can in your chosen field of study," he told the new students. - Walker emphasized the stu dents' responsibility throughout the 35-minute address, not only in class work, but in their social life, their daily conduct and the methods they use to obtain a col lege degree. Citing'figures showing a 50 per cent student "mortality" rate, - he deplored the "tremendous waste . . . entailed in the loss of stu dents." Gives Suggestions Walker suggested some of the "mortality" could be prevented by overconiing a student reluc tance to use loan funds. "A university education is the best bargain in America today," he said, quoting its capital value at $lOO,OOO. He said borrowed money could be easily repaid through the increased earning power gained from a college edu cation. The University's loan land has recently been increased by $40,000. "It won't be long," Walker said, before half of coilege-age young people are enrolled in the country's colleges and universi ties. Because a college education soon "will be no longer the pass port it is now;' he said, "the su perior student is going to have to get a graduate education." Easy to Learn He said it is comparatively , easy to learn at the University , because of the help of professors and fellow students, but the stu ,dent will not have this help in "adding s the capstone to your pro fession"—a graduate education.
