The Sentinel of Lewistown, our friend and neighbor, is wrapping
up a special 100th anniversary gift for The Daily Collegian.
The Sentinel is giving The Daily Collegian a truckload of computer
equipment and spare parts. The equipment is a Compugraphic Unified
Terminal System with 1210 Upgrade and 12 video display terminals.
This equipment exactly matches our existing computer system in
Carnegie Building. We will use this gift to expand our existing systems
by 50 percent and to support the news editing laboratory of the School
of Communications. Additionally, the gift of parts will help us to extend
the useful life of our existing systems.
The Daily Collegian and its staff says thank you to The Sentinel,
Publisher Jim Dible and his staff. We also say thank you to the Buckner
News Alliance, parent company of The Sentinel.
We appreciate your gift. We appreciate your interest and support
throughout the year.

It's all for you
In April 1887, a student newspaper was born at Penn
State. The evolution to its present form was at times
fast, at times slow, but always steady, moving toward
improvement.
This section has been prepared to show random
samples of The Daily Collegian and life at Penn State.
It does not follow chronological order. That is due, in
part, to the nature of the news and news coverage and
in part to the physical constraints of pulling material
from early issues. We did our best to represent the way
the material looked when it orginally was published.
This section is dedicated to the staff members of all
the publications that became The Daily Collegian. It's
for the reporters and editors who took dictation over
the phone, panicked at 5:30 p.m. because they didn't
have an editorial to run, and calmed an irate caller out
of a lawsuit.
It's for artists who worked on graphics because
editors asked for them, only to find, after three hours'
labor, that there wasn't space for them after all. It's
for photographers who dropped everything, tracked
down a car and went to cover a fire, only to find the
ashes cold and the police officers colder by the time
they arrived. It's for the reporters who began to work
on seemingly simple police log items, only to end up
spending a whole afternoon (skipping classes again) in
the police station, just trying to find out an age or a
middle initial.
It's for the office representatives who tried to explain
that classified ad buyers can't get refunds because
nobody responded to their ads selling those old roller
skates or Beatle records. It's for the sales reps who
made four trips downtown in the rain and clammy cold
of late Happy Valley winter only to hear the potential
advertiser say, "Maybe next year I'll buy a 1 x 3, but
not right now."
It's for the editors and managers who took the time
to teach fellow staff members and to talk some out of
dropping from the Collegian because they thought they
weren't good enough.
The daily routine of life at a student paper minus
the imagined glamor of journalism can be found
between the lines of the following pages. All any of the
people behind the product did was try to put out a good
newspaper every day and keep from flunking out.
Without the help of the following people, this section
would not have been possible: Patricia Hartranft,
Candace W. Heckard, Kristine Sorchilla, Doug Popo
vich, Tony Ciccarelli, John C. Boor Jr., Ron Yeany,
Danna Antoine, Steve Knepper, Terry Matulevich,
Todd Olson, Sally Heffentreyer, the staff of the Penn
State Room at Pattee Library, and the staff of the
Microforms Room at Pattee.
Above all, this section is dedicated to the readers
past, present and future who give the Collegian its
reason to exist. We hope this material helps you better
understand the past, or maybe just remember how it
was. But most of all, we hope you enjoy it!
