Page Two New College Organized! At P.S.U. The College of Arts and Archi tecture, with Dr. Jules Heller as dean, will become operational at the beginning of the Winter term in January. At its meeting, the Board of Trustees approved formation of the new college, which will include departments of art, architecture, landscape architecture, music, and theatre arts. The art, music and theatre arts departments were the chief com ponents of the School of Arts, an area of the College of the Liberal Arts since 1955, which will be dis continued. Landscape architecture, a cur riculum in the department of horticulture in the College of Ag riculture, will become a depart ment in the new college, with Wayne H. Wilson, professor of landscape architecture, as head of the department. The department of architecture, of which Philip F. Hallock is act ing head, is to be moved from the present College of Engineering " As everyone knows, the attendance at activities this year Is minimal when compared to last year. This may, in effect, he due to lack of student interest in the particular types of entertainment offered. This we do not think is the case. A variety of activities has been offered with similar results poor attendance. .Lectures, films, and dances have taken up all but one Friday night spot, with none of these gaining much success. SGA is perplexed. It is trying its utmost to promote more participation. An example of this is the new Communications Box to enable clubs, students, and faculty members to have their interests announced via the PA System and colorful posters. The recent coffee hour was but one more example of how YOUR SGA is working for YOU. It has been evidenced that record hops are less of a success than our “big” dances. It has been cited that we have been spoiled by having too many small dance bands. Can’t we be content to have a majority of record hops with only two or three “big” dances per term?” The Social Committee is following a very close budget, but at the same time trying to do the most with what it has.

EDITORIAL <a||g^D© HIGH ACRES COLLEGIAN STUDENT POLL: Is or Miss Right or Wrong? Mr. Robert Haas, sth term B.A. —“According to the Constitution of the United States, all men are equal in the sight of the law. Therefore, Meredith should have the same privileges as a white person, especially to an education, and since Old Miss is a land grant institution, being partially sup ported by the state.” Miss Annetta Long, Ist term L.A. —“The problem shouldn’t have arisen in the first place, but, once Meredith applied, he should have been admitted, provided that he met the requirements. The trouble is that people are not born with prejudice, they learn it.” Dennis Kovach, Ist term Coun. —“lt all occurred for the sake of the principle, not for the single case, but as a precedent for future cases.” Charles Kapes, 2nd term Special Student—“lt is James Meredith’s Constitutional and God-given right to attend the college of his choice.” Kathy Botchick, Ist term L.A.— “As long as it is a land grant col lege, getting aid from the govern ment, which does not stipulate to whom the aid should be given, all persons, regardless of race, should be admitted.” Anita Fahringer, Ist term L.A. —“James Meredith met the re quirements to be admitted to that university; therefore, he should be allowed to stay.
