Who, then, they add, can be a more logical chilice for such a position than Joseph A Peel, a. man who has been intimately attached to the stu dent. body throughout his undeigiaduate caleer, here, a man who has come to lea] n of the pioblems confronting the pi esent-day students and who has for-tWo'yeais fought to promote then welfare 9 - 'To - the Collegian this aigument seems to he ba<ed upon sound assumptions and sound logic. 'THAT THE DEAN of Men could do with some }yelp cannot be denied 4 .- 1 A Mile the women's staff includes a clean and .three assistants for approximately 1,500 women, {IV Dean of Men has been given the sole respon. -aibitity of supervising three times as many men What's more, the women Noire the added acrimn jtage of being a well-knit body, living as they do in sororities and dormitories right on the campus •Itself. The men are strewn about from Lemont to: Pine Grove Mills and from Boalsburg to Port Matilda. The Collegian has yet to see a single college where the supervision of such a large student body is , ,entrusted to one individual The task not only tremendous; it in absolutely impossible. ' In view of' these circumstances, therefore, the ' Collegian differs with the gioup of petitioners in one specific instance Fin the Collegian sincerely believes that. phut the Dean of Men needs is not one assistant, hut two oi thiee of fom That it is impossible to get this number in this age of strict economy is acknowledged That even , one assistant will be created is doubtful However, the Collegian insists theio is a defin ite, need foi assistants in the Dean of Alen's of- , fice. Until this need is answeied, the College can not hope 'to reach a truly fi iendly understanding ' With all students IN THE SPRING ... ; IN THE TREASURY of the Borough of State 'College there rests today a sum of ninety dollars paid out of student class funds to finance the r cot of repairing that portion of the road , at the corner of Allen Street and College Avenue which was damaged dui mg the mob riot last September. =',Tlie:repalrs were delayed purposely until after the close of the football season for fear that an ()Hiee impromptu celebration might cause addt- Hotial 'damages The Borough, however, prom ised specifically to repair the'road as soon as pos. alba ~Now the football season has been over for four tniiriths. Warm tall and winter days have iilipped into history 'Yet the rond Imams unrepaired. :,'The Collegian , therefore, calls upon Borough afitlforitlis to use the $9O for what they were in *idid—to repair the road—or else refund it to sibdent body.
