Editorial Opinion
Choosing a Career
There are 53 days until graduation
And then the seniors will be "out in the world" facing
the harsh reality of competing with the seniors of hundreds
of other institutions of higher learning for positions and
prestige in their chosen fields of endeavor.
"Tomorrow we must get a Job." read some of the
posters advertising the Career Exposition to be held
tomorrow and Thursday in the Hetzel Union Building.
For seniors who have not already made definite plans
for their work after graduation, the Career Exposition
offers an opportunity to learn something of a great many
fields of endeavor
For seniors who already do have plans, the Exposition
may offer a preview of their work on an industry-wide
basis—a view the students may not have had in their
contacts with the companies they will work with.
But the advantages of the Career Exposition certainly
are not limited to the senior viewpoint.
Underclassmen even freshmen can benefit ire-
numcloimay from learning as much about each industry
represented as it possible. If this learning at all influences
their desires for future employment, it well may be h9lp•
ful in their planning of courses through the rest of their
college careers. And it should be helpful when they, as
senior®, interview individual companies.
Choosing a job upon graduation from college often is
a most difficult decision, as well as a most important one.
Students at the University can count themselves fortunate
because of the broad and practical job information avail
able through the Career Exposition.
Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by
those who dared believe that something inside them was
superior to circumstance

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
- —Bruce Barton
ROBERT PICCONE
Business Manager
Poet Frost
May Appear
Next Year
Negotiations are under way
with poet Robert Frost to appear
as Dart of the 1959-60 Artists'
Series.
Frost has been contacted and
has offered three dates from
which to choose an appearance.
The Artists' Series committee has
set aside Oct. 29, 30 or 31 in
Schwab Auditorium for the poet's
appearance.
The committee is also negotiat
ing with the Miles Davis Quintet
for an appearance either on Nov.
14 in Recreation Hall or some
time in May 1960. So far, letters
to the group's manager concern
ing a definite date have produced
no answer.
A date is also being held open
for performances by a road com
pany of the Phoenix Theatre in
New York City. It is not defi
nitely known whether the com
pany will tour, but they have
been contacted to appear here in
the event they do tour.
There is a possibility that an
other jazz group will appear on
May 1, 1960. However, Mrs. Nina
Brown, executive secretary of the
Artists' Series, said it is not defi
nite that a concert will be held
on that date.
Eng-LA Course
Gets Approval
The Board of Trustees has ap
proved the 5-year curriculum in
engineering and liberal arts.
Students may enroll in the pro
gram in September.
The first three years of the new
curriculum will be devoted main
ly to liberal arts courses while
the last two will be courses in
the engineering curriculum in
which the student wishes to
specialize.
The program is similar to one
already in effect between the Col
lege of Engineering and Architec
ture and eight liberal arts col
leges. Under this plan, students
attend the liberal arts schools for
the first two years and then en
roll here in engineering.
At the end of the five years of
study, a student will receive a
bachelor of arts degree in arts
and letters and a bachelor of sci
ence degree in one of the engi
neering curriculums.
The program of liberal arts
courses will include humanities,
social sciences, mathematics, phy
sical sciences, engineering draw
ing and engineering mechanics.
Engineering curriculums available
will be aeronautical, civil, sani
tary, agricultural, electrical, in
dustrial and mechanical engineer
ing and engineering mechanics.
Flashcard Section
Questionnaries Due
Students who received question
naires concerning the proposed
flashcard section for football
games are requested to turn them
in to the Hetzel Union desk as
soon as possible.
All the questionnaires have not
yet been distributed. Some have
been distributed to fraternities
through the Interfraternity Coun
cil, to the Nittany area through
Nittany Council - and to women
students in their mailboxes.

About Apathy
TO THE EDITOR: Along with
the spring semester, organiza
tion meetings and elections, it
seems likely that we will be
hearing about apathy, apathy,
apathy again. If there seems to
be such a disinterest in student
politics, as there surely must
be, why doesn't student gov
ernment fold up and stop wast
ing time?
—William Bickel, '59
TO THE EDITOR; As pointed
out by Cathy Fleck in The Col
legian of April 9, there appears
to be much indifference to re
organization from the student
body. The primary cause of
this apathy, I believe, is the
student body's conception of
the relationship of the SGA to
the University Administration.
Many studlnts feel that be
cause the SGA is not the sole
controlling force of University

The administration and the
SGA, combined, do not possess
all-inclusive power. Groups as
far away as Harrisburg in the
State legislature, and as near
as State College also have di
rect controlling powers.
These various groups, how
ever, do have a wide latitude
of power within their own
spheres. As the Administration
is responsible for the physical
plant and the faculty, the SGA
is responsible for the welfare
of the student body. There is,
however, an overlap of pow
ers. As the administration is
responsible to a certain degree
to the state legislature, the
SGA is responsible to the ad
ministration to a certain de
gree. Such an overlap of power
is necessary to prevent any one
force from becoming dominant.
I believe it is the "certain
degree" that has generated the
students' apathy toward the
SGA and reorganization. The
overlapping of powers is found
