page 2 Despite great diffi culties, we have managed to bring out this issue, the last of the term. Our type setting system decided to go on vacation a week earlier than the rest of us. (Coin cidentally, the same thing happened last November--also the last issue.) So, here it is: We hope you like it. To those of you who are graduating this term, we wish you the best of luck. And to those who are returning next term, enjoy the break. By the way, if anyone out there happens to know of a good, used typesetting machine that works and is available for a modest sum--let us know! Hopefully, we'll be greeting you with our first issue of the Winter Term on January 10. Residents want to party Editor As members of the Meade Heights residence living area, we are deeply concerned a bout the future of house par ties. There has been unneces sary aggravation directed to ward students who provide parties on campus. We are attending an upper division school and we are mature, responsible adults. As such, we feel we are being treated unfairly. There are many reasons why house parties are so important to the student body. First of all, Tuesday night keggars at the Student Center are obsolete. The only activity on campus that brought students together so cially is non-existent! We attend a small state institution with a relatively small student population. There should be a greater unification among students, but what do we have to make us a more cohesive group? Nothing. The majority of colleges have sports events which at tract large crowds,--we only have a basketball team which gets limited publicity. Other colleges have fraternities and sororities that hold social e vents,--we have a student center with the lights out and the doors locked. To be blunt, campus life is boring. Social events (parties) are a neccessity. The average age of students living on campus is approximately 23 to 24 years which is well ABOVE THE LEGAL DRINKING AGE.There is little cause to worry about underage drin kers. It is often hard to control the number of person attending these social gather ings and we realize things can Machine dies. Paper lives. get out of hand, but there is always the deepest respect and concern for university property. We are not given access to facilities on campus to accommodate large parties and it is too expensive to rent a hall off-campus. We are forced ,therefore, to hold them in the houses in Meade Heights. We realize this is apt to disturb other residents of the Heights, but the Student Center, which is separate from other housing units, is not at our disposal. One matter of great an xiety to the administration is those persons who leave par ties intoxicated. They are apt to get in accidents, thereby injuring themselves or others. This concerns us too, but let's be realistic! No one can be held personally responsible for those who drink to excess, but those particular individ uals. If they do not drink at parties, they will at a local bar or elsewhere. We would like to continue to have parties in the Meade Heights living area without harassment because there is absolutely no probable cause to forbid them. We ask to be treated fairly and like adults. Why should we be expected to go off-campus and pay high prices to rent a hall when there is an appropriate facility on campus? Isn't that why it was built? Isn't that why we call it the Student Center? Why can students at the main campus hold parties on cam pus and, as equal Penn State students,we can not? Activi ties and parties are the only means we have of uniting the student body and there should be no hassles concerning them. Concerned Residents C.C.
