Hit - Cold /Spot
By `Dave ratiolt
Frigid women, take heart! Fin
ally, someone is' doing' something
about cold showers.
• Unfortunately, not at Behrend,
however.
In what may be a precedent,
200 irritated students at South
west State College in Marshall;
Minn., were granted a $lO refund
for cold showers in their dormi
tory.
The story, carried nationally by
the Associated Press, explained
that the Minnesota State College
Board approved the rebate after
it heard the student's problem
from the college's vice• chancellor.
The board also approved a re
quest fol. $B3OO to buy new water
heaters.
It was the second time in re
cent weeks that hot water made
the news' on college campuses.
Act Now To Save

The massive "Teach-In on the

place on more - than a thousand
college campuses April 22 offers
dramatic hope that further des

stopped, according to Senator
Gaylord the man who
started the project rolling. -
Writing in the April Reader's
Digest, Sen. Nelson recalls that
he first propOsed the national. en
vironmental teach-ins in a speech
at .Seattle last fall.
"We expected the response to
be good," he writes. "It has been

Women Satisfied
Being inferior To
University Park, Pa.--Accord
ing to the newly elected -head of
women's government at The
Pennsylvania State University,
most women are still satisfied to
be - just a little bit lower than men.
"You hear a lot about women's
liberation these days," says Lynn
Mack. "But I don't believe that
too many coeds subscribe to it."
The 19.-year-old Erie native
isn't about to take sides as to
whether they're right or wrong.
"It's just a fact," she observes.
Although she is . still only a
sophomore, Lynn has just been
installed as president of AWS,
the Association of Women Stu-
Women at Edinboro marched just
before Easter to protest their
plight, and were promised action

and universities are expected to
participate, along with hundreds
of high schools: civic- groups, gar
den clubs, the League of Women
Voters and conservation organi
zations have also offered a help
ing hand to make the day a suc-
cess."
While local projects will form
the major focus of the April 22
Teach-Ins, - Sen. Nelson suggests
that the concerns voiced on that
day may lead ultimately to "some
radical changes in our national
habits."
"Are we prepared; for example,
to make economic modifications
in-our system to reverse the dis
astrous trend . . . to dispose of
disposable bottles . . . to levy
some kind of tax to assure - that
junk cars are collected and _re
cycled . . . to say to the oil com
panies that they must not drill
offshore . . . to develop a land
use pOlicy, to say, `You must not
destroy anymore'?" •
The Teach-Ins will help to
dramatize these questions. But
April-22 will be a success only if
it . sparks "a national commitment
to do something," Sen. Nelson
writes.

in general.
She firmly believes that • stu
dents should. be responsible for
their own lives. This- includes al
lowing them to set their own
hours and visitation on rules in
- campus residence halls, to live off
campus if they choose, or to :be
issued keys to their dormitori&.
"College," she explains, "should
be a sort of go-between period.
As high schoolers, students have
lived under pretty thorough par
ental—control. -And once they've
graduated, they're completely un
supervised.
"College should offer them the
chance and the time to grow up.
They can't be protected indefini:-
tely. And since women are just
. as
responsible as men, there's no rea
son-why the rules'should discriin
inate against them."
Lynn also feels that coeds
be allowed to decide for - them
selves when men can visit their
dorms.
"Girls tend to be conservative,"
she notes. "They'll set up. a sy
stem guaranteeing some degree of
insured privacy."
Lynn came to Penn State de

she has served as a - member -of

It was the Senate, for example,
which procured keys for women
