Male Students’
Questions About
State Answered
'Monday, 'May '9, Dr. Prank J.
Simes, dean of men at the Penn
sylvania State University, spoke
to-the Behrend men in Erie Hall-
Many of the students' questions
concerning- housing, fraternity
life, finances, and various other
issues were answered quickly and
clearly toy Dr. Simes.
Besides carrying on this inter
rogation period l , he also inserted
• some of his views concerning the
-differences of environment be
tween the main campus and Beh
rend Center. He stressed the
fact that the Center provides a
family-like atmosphere, tout, even
with -the large enrollment and the
vastness of' the main campus, he
believes that Penn State has not
lost its personal touch.
He discussed thoroughly the
possibilities of off-campus hous
ing, the loan system for veterans,
and other male students, and said
that any problems about pledging
for the many fraternities would
be answered more completely at
the office of the dean of men on
the main- campus.
Another item of interest to
most of males who are planning to
transfer concerns “the life of a
car” on campus. Dr. Simes out
lined very clearly the rules for
driving during class hours and the
system of parking.
