During
our visit to Foxdale at the beginning month, I held a paramount interview,
which was extremely worthwhile. I had the chance to interview with one of the
residents, named Mrs. Susan Knox and we discussed and tackled various issues
regarding various aspects of life, one of the major aspect is the aspirations
and dilemmas that Penn State University face. One of the worthy issues that has
been a heap problem during the past years is drinking. During my discussion Mrs.
Susan Knox claimed “Students tend to drink alcoholic beverages during the
weekends due to the endless parties that are held at State College and the unfathomable
bars the distribute them.”
Moreover, following up
the case I visited the PSU library Special Collection, into which I was able to
have a look at numerous newspaper written by the Daily Collegian, which tackles
problems that Penn State society face.
One of the news that grabbed my attention, was a newspaper that was established
and distributed at the 1st of October 1953, the aspiration of the
newspaper was to civilize the drinking issues and clarify various controversy. Dr.
Henry S. Burnner wasn’t satisfied with the council reaction regarding the
enforcement of rules that regulate such an issue. He suggested that alcoholic
beverages shall not be distributed in events into which youngsters and woman is
participating (Daily Collegian, 1953). From this passage, I came with a
definite conclusion that alcoholic problems was a problem during the past
generations and will still be a definite problem, unless we cause it to halt by
setting rules and no matter what we do
it will stay a problem during the upcoming generations. Featuring, the Lavie which is a year book that highlights important events and activities and the organizations that were available at such a time, in addition to a list the students that graduated from the university and their majors. The year-book that brought my attention, is the year book which was established in 1953. One of the things that should not be neglected is that women and men were separated and they have distinct Dean’s. Additionally, there was activities but in comparison with the decent years there is notable different with the university’s activities it seems to be more global and became a home of a large number of international students.
In conclusion, I’ve gained a lot of valuable experience, which gave me a beneficial information about the history of The Pennsylvania State University. Within this activity I felt as if I was thrown back at these days, I had the chance to tackle some issues that the society face and extract solutions that could help to cease these problems.
