Year 'Round Studies
The University took its second step yesterday toward
a trime,ter Or quarter semester system. The step wilt be
complet.d at the end of August when summer sessions
as such will be discontinued.
The fist step toward better year 'round use of the
Univei.,,ty facilities was taken two years ago when the
Board of Trustees and the Senate approved the present
surnmel sessions of 3-6-3 weeks and 6-6 weeks.
Under the present system, the Oftice of Summer
Sessions was in charge of the entire summer operation,
including the offering and scheduling of specific courses
and assigning professors. Determination of which courses
ate to be offered is handled by the individual colleges
during the fall and spring semesters.
Now the decision of quarter system vs. trimester
system i ests in the hands of the Senate and the Trustees.
If students wish to have their alloted say in the decision,
now is the time to start action.

Determining Values
An important problem facing higher education, besides that
of providing facilities for increasing enrollments and the well
trained teachers needed for the Space Age, is the kinds of atti
tudes and Values a student will derive from four years of college.
What are the values students get out of college? Should the
college try to inculcate a particular set of values? Are the tradi
tional objectives and methods of liberal education still valid
today? Should the college do more toward developing personality
and emotions?
College can contribute to the growth of a student's values
only when it penetrates the core of his life and confronts him
with fresh and often disturbing implications, which are different
from those which he and his society have taken for granted, says
Philip E. Jacob of the University of Pennsylvania.
To have success, values are important, Each student would
benefit by asking himself what he wants out of college. Also
what he hopes to get that will make him stand out from the
average college student. This may not seem important now, but
it will serve as a great advantage later in leading a good and
happy life.

Opinions On
WSGA Rules
TO THE EDITOR: I would like
to take this opportunity to ex
press my appreciation to the
freshman women who wrote to
you expressing their views on
women's hours.
Every one of their comments
reflected an objective, sincere
consideration and mature ques
tioning of one of the important
features of a woman's life at
Penn Slate—the rules and regula
tions under which she lives.
At the present time the Wom
en's Student Government Asso
ciation is also considering and
questioning these very regula
tory policies. With the most able
assistance of Dean Lipp, the Ex
ecutive Committee of WSGA is
forinulaiing a report encompass
ing all phases of these rules.
This report, which will be pre
sented to WSGA Senate in the
near future, will be in the form
of a recommended set of policies
for women in all areas within the
jurisdiction of WSGA.
All members of WSGA—offi
cers, Senators, residence unit of
ficers, and JUdicial members—
have also been discussing these
very things.
Each one of us will welcome
any suggestions, etc. from anyone
who is concerned with these poli
cies. We may be contacted person
ally by phone, by mail, telegram;
the point is, contact us. Only if
all views are adequately brought
to our attention can we effective
ly cal ry them out.

WSGA President
Absentee Voting
Backed by Senior
TO THE EDITOR: Congratula
tions are in order to The Daily
Collegian for taking a strong stand
on the issue of the absentee vot
ing laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and their failure to
include college students.
I definitely think that the col
lege students of the state are
knowingly being discriminated
against and are being denied the
privilege of voting away from
home, a privilege which has been
extended to other citizens who
necessarily have to be away from
their home districts on voting day.
Each of us should write to our
respective legislators and to Gov.
Lawrence and tell them why we
feel that we are being discrimin
ated against and why the absentee
voting privileges should be ex
tended to include college students
as it does other citizens.

A 'Has-Been'
Looks Back
A good friend of our, Mary Ann Mobley, last year's
Miss America, in a letter to us before she relinquished her
crown said: "Just think, I'll soon be a 'has-been'."
After checking with the Recorder's office yesterday,
we suddenly came to the same conclusion—although the
number realizing our "has
been-ness" won't begin to
equal the number who miss
her.
Two years ago, we began to
spin these 40-or-so lines week
ly, and since that time, we've
covered everything from poli
tical greats to beauty contests,
with a few other frivolous sub
jects thrown in for good mea
sure.
This semester, however
brought a respite for your tired
eyes, as far as this column was
concerned. (This respite on our
part wasn't planned, but that's
the way things went during
last Spring's exams.)
In our four-odd years of try
ing to get a "liberal education,"
we've made some observations,
from them come suggestions
that we think should be
brought into light. Some of
them aren't new at all, and
some of them aren't going to
be too popular with many, but
we feel that they might have
some merit.
First: we
would like to
see Penn State
get the pres- " •
tige that a u- •
niversity its .
size deserves. -40 k 1 4-
This prestige, -
we feel will •
•
come during
h e "second .
century." Con- _
trary to the ~ „
powers that
be, we don't THOMPSON
want to see a 'diploma factory."
Second: unpopular as it
may sound—we would like to
have every student in the Uni
versity go on academic proba
tion during his first or second
year. This way, he'll get a first
hand idea of what he actually
is here for. It did wonders for
us.
Third: we would like to see
a POSITIVE rushing program
from the IFC for fraternities.
We feel that with this long
needed program, Penn State
fraternities will regain the
prestige that they once had.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1960
by bob Thompson
ternity men stay out of houses
because they feel fraternities
can offer nothing positive to
their college education.
Fourth: we would like each
beginning freshman to feel the
same way that an eighth se
mester senior does how lit
tle he actually knows, and how
much he has to learn.
We'd also like to see some
other changes and additions:
We'd like to see a non-credit
course of six weeks to teach
the proper method of taking
courses by television.
We'd like to see the admin
istration change its long-range
expansion plans and keep the
Armory. A university of this
size and importance needs a
museum. The Armory with
its interior restored to the way
it was when constructed
would be an ideal location for
the now-cramped Penn State
Collection presently housed in
the Library.
And speaking of the library,
we would like to see one with
stacks for the average under
graduate and an average
undergraduate that is mature
enough to use them.
Finally, on the lighter side,
we would like to see some en
terprising students start a co
operative "jitney" service to
run from town to campus at a
nominal cost of a nickel a ride.
No doubt the service would do
wonders for attendance at 8
o'clocks.
Better coffee in the HUB
and bigger draughts downtown
would be too much to ask for.
Prof Wayne, we feel could
do wonders for Froth—and The
Lemon, too—if someone is pub
lishing it again.
And the Campus Patrol
and its higher echelon—might
take the motto "Discretion is
the better part of valor" to
heart.
And so it goes. None of the
abovementioned are earthshat
tering, nor, in some instances
original. They are, we feel, a
few more suggestions that
might be taken "for a better
Penn State."
