Congrats on your seniority, Olelion.

PSU certainly does have some prosaic and interesting names for things. Shunk Hall, Beaver Stadium, Beaver Avenue, etc.

Were you out-of-state? In-state tuition was $150/quarter when I was a freshman in 1967 (5th floor Shunk).

Actually that was the start of Freshmen orientation. Classes didn't start until Oct 3rd. We were on quarters schedule, 10 wks/qtr. Tuition, room and board was $425/qtr or $1275/year. Crazy wasn't it?

50 years ago, I started at Luerrssen Science Building at Berks campus. $375 a tri-mester. No room and board available. I think we wrote the line "Ya don't have to go home, but you can't stay here."

1966. A new head coach named....um.....what was his name...Joe something. Oh yes, Joe Paterno.

Finished season 5-5, with losses to 3 teams ranked in top 10 at the time. All were on the road.
Lost 42-8 to #1 Michigan State.
Lost 49-11 to #4 UCLA.
Lost 21-0 to #5 Georgia Tech.
Combined that's 112-19.
The final game was a 48-24 win at Pitt Stadium. Pitt finished 1-9.

65 years ago sept 25 I had my first class. EG 10. Third floor Hammond. An old guy name of Ullery. A real SOB. On Wed and Fri I had ROTC (required then). 20 minutes to get to Wagner building. Hammond had worlds slowest elevators.
