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."
Driever said he is happy that in
the digital age, the daily student

UPUA
President
Christian Ragland
said the proposal
"looks awesome."
"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.

ly suggest the formation of a stu
dent advisory board, UPUA
Governmental Affairs Committee
Chairman TJ Bard said he
thought it was a good addition.
"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.
