As is the case with other charges, the words from this charge can be found in Penn State's Code of Conduct. This particular charge was used to describe the conduct of those dorm students who participated in a shaving cream fight (can you think of anything more ob scene than shaving cream?). Hallway conditions became slip pery after the battle, hazard ous enough for those involved to be charged. Yet from the wording 1 of the charge one would be , led. to believe that a much more serious offense had been committed. Q o Q . o O. C. 0 o 0) Charge it Charges go on record with the university and the viola tor's parents are notified. It is important, then, that these charges are exact. The current system, which involves finding a category for a vio lation, is too general. Im portant details of the viola tion should he stated so that there are no misunderstandings, Filing violations in cate gories that are anything hut ,self-explanatory is less dif ficult than writing up a charge sheet in detail. , However, if the individuality of the case is lost in the final draft, short cuts as such should not he taken. ROTC enrollment has dropped from.a peak of 275>000 in 1964 to about 60,000 today. Oft&UOH' €> ROTO down False alarm? Are there fire hazards on this campus, or aren't there? When a committee of students presented their report on cam pus fire hazards to campus Fire Marshall Richard Wrubey, Wrubey gave the impression that he would act to correct any haz ards immediately.' Weeks went by and little was corrected, so the committee went to the administration and SGA to see .if anything could be done. It's a shame that the com- 1 mittee had to go that far be fore they got any response. Although some of the items in their report were hazardous, many were not. Much trouble could have been spared had Fire Marshall Wrubey told the com mittee that their report had some discrepancies. At present, the Classroom Building and the Library do not have fire plans. Fire drills in these buildings have not been conducted on a regular ba sis. As fire marshall, Wrubey should see that these and ex isting hazards are taken care of immediately. Fire safety is usually a boring issue - until someone gets hurt. Unsigned editorials represent the official opinion of the COLLEGIA!!.
