Editorial Opinion
The Complete Education
n'wo for little more than the price of one" has become
a popular advertising slogan.
The University may appear to "adopt" this slogan if
it ahh►oves a 5-year Liberal Arts Engineering program
that would award the degrees of both bachelor of science
and bachelor of arts.
The program could even come to represent a trend
in the Univeisity's future.
Approved unanimously by the Liberal Arts faculty
Thursday, it would enable an engineer to fulfill tho basic
ri---4uirements of the College of the Liberal Arts in addi
tion to his engineering studies. The proposed program
would involve a heavy credit load, and be aimed at
superior students.
The proposal still must be approved by the University
Senate Committee on Courses, the Senate and the Board
of Trustees if it ►s to go into effect. And the program
merits this approval; the theory of greater harmony and
integration of the arts and the sciences should be made
a blueprint for the University's expanding educational
future.
The modern idea of education by specialization has
had tragic effects on the "cultural" aspects of our genera
tion. We ate losing the all-important concept of the well
rounded individual in our quest for scientific supremacy.
Tho humanities are still at the base of human civiliza-
tion. Without the development of language and the liberal
arts, our society would be little more than primitive.
Scientific knowledge, of course, is a necessity, more so
in these times than ever before. But if we sacrifice the
humanities to the golden calf of science our civilization
will become sterile.
Education must therefore assure a knowledge of the
liberal arts even in technological students to mold a com
plete, and completely useful, human being.
This is where much of modern education has "missed
the boat." And this is where the University, with its
proposed 5-year program and more like it, could show
the way toward a more valuable philosophy of learning.
Midnight Oil A-Cominl?
When the HUB begins to empty, and the TV sets
grow dim,
When dating starts to slacken, as do workouts in the
gym,
When profs begin reviewing, and the magazines are
sacked,
Then finals are a-comin' and the libr'ry will be
packed
Anyway, the "libr'ry's" packed until it closes at
10 p.m. But All-University Cabinet is willing to bet that
a lot of students would study there until midnight if
they could.
So, Cabinet has asked Librarian Ralph W. McComb
to keep at least part of the building open until midnight
every night during the final examination period.
The move would involve problems, especially getting
the people to supervise during the later hours.
But the already great demand for the library's study
facilities, coupled with the lack of enough other places on
campus conducive to study, indicates a need which should
not be denied.

Women Blasted
Again by Karn
TO THE EDITOR: Better to be
hanged for black infamy than a
trifle.
Let us tear down the television
antennas, the machines to pro
duce chromed automobiles and
frivolities, the systems of mass
media.
We keep ourselves enslaved to
the wheel of materialism produc
ing junk for women. (Look at the
cheapness of Christmas.) They
are acquisitive creatures like pack
rats. They have no genius, i.e., no
grasp of the underlying principles
that must govern a superior so
ciety. List the illustrious painters,
poets, theologians, jurists, philos
ophers, mathematicians and musi
cians down through the ages and
the utter absence of women con
tributors is striking.
This is the bland age when dis
crimination is taboo. Admit dif
ferences where they exist. Dis
crimination is not oppression. You
are the oppressors of the individ
ual spirit. Your democracy is a
tyranny of the mediocre and rab
ble.
—William Karn, graduate student
Alumnus Regrets
Prof's Retirement
TO THE EDITOR: I read with
great regret the retirement plans
of William L. Werner, professor
emeritus of American literature.
Let us hope this will only give
him more time to comment upon
the Penn State scene. The Uni
versity, as it approaches its ex
pansion program, needs the criti
cal "Bookworm" more than ever.

What
Meant
A student-turned-instructor at Lehigh University
recently submitted to the Brown and White, student news
paper, a collection of "seemingly harmless" phrases he had
often heard as an undergraduate.
He said he did not realize the full significance of these
phrases until he interpreted
them from the instructor's side
of the desk.
These are the terms a pro
fessor makes light of as half
the class is packing up books
and struggling with coats to
