SGA appointments for president,
vice-president, and carry-over members - .
will take place this month--or will
enough Behrend students want these
posts to warrant an election?
Last fall's lack of enough candidates
for SGA Make an election necessary
was disheartening to me and a disgrace
- to the campus. I cannot see why, on
any college campus where the future
leaders of America are supposed to be
trained, that very few people want to
take advantage of the opp ,, rtunity
to develop the organizational and
exec.;:tive skills which SGA experience
wold help them to Jevelop, A lack
of concern for self and low goals in
life on the rart of many Behrend students
seem to be the only answers.
This is not to say that all Eehrend
students should try to set into SSA.
Some students will have no need for
or;.anizational and executive talents
pssibly some already hare them, and
there are undobtedly many students
rather develop them elsewhere
c- , uld not stand the

But ne7-=rtheless, there still will

and their ~a us by being on S.3A. I hope

office so that spring elections will

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Mr o Ed for
Your last issue had an article
entitled "Where Have All the Gentlemen
Gone" in which the author cut up the
men of today's society. Reading between
the lines, I inferred that she (undoubtedly
a man did not write it) was speaking
about the males of Behrend Campus.
The question is very easily answered.
The gentlemen have gr-ne to find the ladies
because they realize they cannot be
gentlemen if the women are not ladies.
I believe that ladies are women who
are refined. .They do not drink,
smoke, swear, wear slacks, sweatshirts,
haircurlers, or tongs to class or to
and they do not tell off-color
stories or listen to theme
dime: s
The author mentioned that the men do
not open the doors 'or the "ladies."
A D.D.T. student loaded wish drawing
board, books, and accessories can hardly
open a door for himself, let alone some
"ladies" ahead or behind him. The
author undoubtedly believes that when
a crowd of students are entering the
C. Building, the men should all stand
aside to let the "ladies" enters Also
the author does not comment about the
"ladies" who do not ;ive the men a
chance to oien the door for them.
The author also amnti-ned that
the men of today do not carry a
lady's ,ackaes. I hare inferred that
she meant the men of Behrend do not
carry the Fehrend "ladies'" books.
Today, the aot of oarryng a woman's
books, unless she has a heavy load,
is looked upon by society as a maudlin
form of childish affection• Also, if
a man is walking with two or more
"ladies" wh-. 1-,elieve in safety in
numbers, 7ihose 1;ooks should he offer
to carry? Certainly he cannot carry all
of their bc-,ks.
the auther
Le.stly
state... tnat; to&ay's men sa - ,y things in
front of " 7 arliez" that they - would not
have said in front of men two years ago.
I zould deeply like to know what they
say.
True, there are very few gentlemen
like there were In Othello's time left
but that, is because there are few fair
damsels in distress; in fact, there are
few fair damsels.
Dear Editor
In response to the highly sophisticated
letter written to concerning where
all the gentlemen have gone at this
camptls, I would like to reply. But
first of all, I would like the ladies of
this campus to answer a few -luestions.
Did not and do not the women of the
United States ask for, cry for, beg
for equal rights? Did not they mant
the same rights and Trivileges that man
has? Did not and do not they wart to
of the art -Lo
