Readers: The story behind the stories
John Spence and Christine Metzger took to the streets to
find out what the Penn State community thinks about The
Daily Collegian. Here are the questions they asked and
the responses they got:
Who do you think the Collegian is operated by?
e "I think it is run by a student union of some type."
Chi Jiang (State College resident)
• "The students of PSU with funding from the Univer
sity." —Deborah Darwin (sophomore-agricultural sci
ence)
• "It's an independent organization, a business that is
run by the students."—Rob Grotch (sophomore-quantita
tive business analysis)
Actually, The Daily Collegian is part of Collegian Inc.,
which is a separate corporation not affiliated with the
University. Our funding comes from advertising, circula
tion and additional production revenue.
The Collegian is run on a day-to-day basis by a staff of
students and professionals and is governed by a Board of
Directors, which meets several times a year.
Where is the Collegian office located?
We asked 21 people this question. Fewer than than half
of them knew the answer. We're not in the HUB and we're
not downtown. We're on the first floor of Carnegie
Building, Room 126, in what used to be the library.
What do you think is wrong with the Collegian?
• "I never gave it much thought. It's a lot better than
the Centre Daily Times." —Joe Kufera (graduate assis
tant-statistics)
• ". . . The quality of the writers varies from year to
year -but that's to be expected." —Bob Poorman (a
University maintenance supervisor)
• "There are too many ads and not enough world
—Pam Barbon (junior-marketing)
news."
• ". . . needs more state and national news."
Boley (senior-computer science)
• ". . . not enough on greek activities." —Wenda
Mowery (junior-hotel restaurant and institutional man
agement)
• "Nothing. I think it's very good." —Thomas Bernard
(associate professor-administration of justice)

• The size of the paper is determined each day by how
many inches of advertising we've sold. We try to keep the
ratio of advertising to news content constant.
Since the 19505, the Collegian has been receiving nation
al news from the Associated Press. Before this time, the
Collegian published virtually no national or international
news. This is seen by' the lack of coverage of such
historical events as the Stock Market Crash, the Great
Depression which followed, and World War 11.
What do you like about the Collegian?
• "It highlights major university activities. It's con
cise, unbiased and professional." —Wenda Mowery
• "I like the variety of articles plus I think it's just the
right size." —Diana Sweeney (senior-nursing)
• ". . . I like that it is a morning paper. I'm glad that I
don't have to wait until I go home to read the news."
Bonnie Ondo (residence hall maintenance worker)
• "I enjoy the news stories, the coupons, the movie
section on Friday, the comics and the photography
work." —Deborah Darwin
What is the Collegian's most important role?
All those interviewed said pretty much the same thing:
. . . to inform students of campus activities, local, state,
national, and international news. Only one person men
tioned our second reason for being here: . . . to provide a
rewarding educational experience for our student staff
members in journalism and business. For us, this second
reason is just as important as publishing a quality daily
newspaper.
If the Collegian should ever stop publication, how do you
think this would affect the campus?
•". . What would you read at breakfast?"
Barbon
• "It would have a big effect because the paper unites
our campus. We need that link among the students."
Rob Grotch
—Mike
• ". . It's the only way a lot of people know what's
going on here and in the world." —Deborah Darwin
But there's no cause for Worry. Members of the Colle
gian staff are planning to provide at least another 100
years of news to the Penn State community.

"I do look to the possibility of reorganizing some of
the recruiting efforts at the University and also some of
the support mechanisms that help minority students
acclimate themselVes and take full advantage of what
Penn State has to offer," he said.
Jordan's ideas in this area may also come from
previous experience he has had in the field of student
services. From 1968 to 1970, Jordan served as vice

that job involved
The 1940 s exemplified progress
in the newspaper itself. In 1941, the
name of the paper became The
Daily Collegian, publishing Tues
day through Saturday.
The expanded publication
schedule allowed for a wider
range of coverage, eventually in
cluding more state, national and
international news. When the Jap
anese bombed Pearl Harbor, how
ever, the Collegian's coverage was
headlined by a message from Uni
versity. President Hetzel stating
what effect the bombing would
have on the University.
Few events in Penn State histo
ry have evoked the kind of cover
age presented when Hetzel died
suddenly on Oct. 3, 1947. On that
day, the Collegian printed a spe
,, ', cial afternoon edition.

It was not until the 1970 s that
some of the features most familiar
to today's readers came into be
ing. Bylines (the lines that identi
fies who wrote the article) were
not widely used until the 19705.
"Personals" did not appear in the
classified section until 1974. And
Police Log was not a regular fea
ture until 1977.
Of course, landmark occasions
have made headlines in The Daily
Collegian throughout the years.
For instance, in 1953, Penn State
College became the Pennsylvania
State University and in 1955 the
University celebrated its centenni
al.
More recently,' the front pages
have heralded a national
championship for the Nittany Li
ons Jan. 3, 1983, and the arrival of
University Presid nt Bryce Jor
dan July 1, 1983.

Without a do bt, The Daily
Collegian and th University have
shared a colorf past. Members
of the staff plan to share more
accounts of thitt history with read
ers. Duringethe next 12 months, the
paper will periodically feature
more reproductions of vintage ar
