Influential Penn State alumnus dies at 91 By Micah Wintner COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER April 28, 1940: That's the day A. William Engel, Jr. and C. Russel Eck announced that Penn State's weekly newspaper would turn into The Daily Collegian. Eck and Engel co-chaired the Collegian reorganization commit tee that was responsible for turn ing the student newspaper into a daily, according to Collegian archives. Engel died at 91 on Oct. 2. Lawrence Driever was the first business manager for the new Daily Collegian in 1940 and said he remembers Engel pushing for a daily newspaper. "Everything about State College at that time was growth," Driever, 91, said. "So it was time to go from a twice-a-week to a five times-a-week. Engel and Eck were very instrumental in taking that route."

"From an initial glance, this is exactly what we wanted," Ragland Ragland (senior-political science) said If the proposal is passed, UPUA will provide the council with a stu dent representative recommen dation by Dec. 1. This student will serve from Jan. 1 until April 30. After this initial interim appointment, UPUA will compile a list of recommendations annual ly by April 10 for a student repre sentative. The council will then appoint a student to serve the one-year term. The draft states that the non voting student representative will have "the same privileges as staff in receiving information, agendas and participating in meetings and discussions." Though UPUA did not original- the Collegian worked for is still alive. But the newspaper is far from the only thing Engel was involved with. Melinda Cocolin, Engel's daughter, said her father loved to be active with the community. "It just came naturally to him, I think He was really an unassum ing man. He went along with his deeds," she said. As student body secretary of the Class of 1940, Engel was a member of the committee that selected his class gift the Nittany Lion Shrine, Cocolin said. Engel was a member of Kiwanis International for 60 years, a foundation whose mis sion is to help children in need. He belonged to several hon orary societies and served as director of the Penn State Alumni Rind and Associate Director of University Development until his retirement in 1984, Cocolin said.

"It makes me really excited that the borough council evolved it into something more," Bard (sophomore-political science and economics) said. "I think that's going to be such a great thing for us to have. I'm so excited that they moved this quickly on it ... really harnessed everything we were proposing and more." According to the draft, council recommends that the advisory board be comprised of students from the following organizations: the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council, the International Student Council, the Association of Residence Hall Students, UPUA, Adult Learners, the Graduate Student Association, LGBTQA, two repre sentatives from the Off Campus Student Union and five at-large representatives. "He ended his life in the best way humanly possible." said her father loved Penn State sports. "He was at every football game. He just had a passion for support ing all of the sports. After he retired he very seldom missed any of the sporting events," Tyson said. Tyson said her father was a "town-and-gown" type of man, always working to bridge the rela tionship between Penn State and the community. "His whole mantra was to make Penn State great," she said. Tyson and Cocolin said their father was humble and friendly. He never wanted any "light shed upon him," Tyson said. Cocolin said she finds peace in the fact that her father was 91 years old when he died and lived a full life. Exam Tomorrow? Exam Packs Now!
