Pa umhr the act of March 3, 1879 Tuesday, October 3, 1939 CLAMPDOWN NOW Continued From Page 1 But why destioy College property - ' Bor ough property '> Private pi operty ?- By doing such, the few. “hell-bent agi tators" arc inflicting a penalty on all stu dents which they do not deserve. They are making all students pay for something which was caused by onlv a few. Eveiy student em oiled the College— whether an actual participant, an innocent bystandei, or asleep in bed—pays for such damage Damage caused by a few. And lust incidentally, the money does not come fiom the “damage” or “breakage” tee—as 'mogt students seem to think—but fiom ah increase in class dues The '‘break age" fee covers only' College property, not boiough or private property Such practices as occured last year when damages mounted high or as occurred last Thursday when damages were few have no place in an institution of this calibre. These affans aie harmful, both to the sLudent body and to the College. And to say nothing ot the handicapped batman, -who would love to be raising the devil with the rest of 'the mob, but instead is leaving a pool taste m the mouths of the same mob because of his constructive leadership in attempting to temper the affair - Let’s clamp down on the “ringleaders” who champion such high school ideas. Show no mercy when our Penn State name is at stake TOMB NUMBER 12 AN IMPORTANT QUESTION—is White Hall to be used or is it not to be used? Was it constructed as a women’s recreation building or not 1 ' And is theie any logical and rational reason why women’s organi zations should not be permitted to hold mixed parties m the building? When White Hall was constructed, it was understood that women were to have a place to hold dances, parties and sports events. The building was to be a symbol of fieedom from the old iiays whenj women had use the Aimory and Recreation Hall And vet, to all appearances, this is not .its pul pose at all. Apparently, it is to stand in an important spot on campus where ev eryone may admire il—just so long as they keep out of it. ' Obviously, it has an important function as a women’s sports building Obviously, theie is a grand opportunity for women to use the bowling alleys, pmg pong rooms, and swimming pool in their leisure time Obviously, men should not be allowed to take possession of it. But, just as obvious ly, the building is not being used to its full advantage. Is there any reason why W. S. G. A., Mortar Board, Cwens, and other women’s campus organizations should' not hold mixed dances and parlies there more than once a year 1 ' Is there any reason why they should still have to resort to the Armory, the Sand wich Shop, and Rec Hall? The swimming pool, bowling alleys, and ping pong room could be locked and re seiveri for women not attending the par ties. And men guests could be confined to the gymnasium and lobby. But, so long as they are not private parties for social or ganizations, why should not women’s stu dent government, honoranes and Pan-Hel lenic Association use the hall? What we want to know is this: Is White Hall to be used or isn’t it? If it is to be preserved for future generations maybe we’d better fix up a glass case and some dust covers. And if not—well, let’s use it.
