Herbert Zukauskas Thursday Morning, October 31, 1940 Cabinet Studies Plan To Increase The Dean's Staff A matter of vital interest to students is the dis cussion launched last Thursday by the Student Housing Board. Student Housing Board, natur ally and even necessarily. emph - as;zed what an assistant or assistants to the Dean of Men could do to improve housing conditions. All-College Cabinet Tuesday night heard a pro position to employ several assistants to the Dean of Men. This seems like a sound proposal. The points presented were good. • It was pointed out that Dean Wainock. who came to Penn State when its enrollment was close to 2,000; has been asked to carry the burden alone with the enrollment-boosted to 7,000' and an en rollment of 15,000 already an established and at tainable goal awaiting only the necessary expan 7 sion of the physical plant. • It was pointed out that the possible expansiOn of the Dean's functions reach even beyond the ability of two assistants. . It was pointed out that students who, after all, have proposed this - move wotna welcome ; not shun, the closer counseling an enlarged Dean'S . . office would afford. It was pointed out that .students recognize the impermanency of their own organizations which must change personnel every year and would wel come the stabilizing backbone that assistant deans ' could provide It was pointed out that rooming inspection is pht the only problem. There is the matter of Interfraternity Dating Code enforcement. There is the matter of coordinating the work of the Interfraternity Council and the Independent Men's Association. There is the matter of constantly prodding all living groups to better scholarship, wider extra curricular participation, better social life. There is also the matter of prodding other fac ulty groups into closer contact with students. into helping the Dean's office do these same things. The problem has two sides. It is not that student leaders want to give up any of the independence they prize so well. It is that student leaders are aware of their own.lack of knowledge, their fleeting stay as leaders, their in ability to carry on long-time projects. Most student leaders now seek-constant counsel from faculty men on whom they rely. They recog nize that college is not just a plgrce for unadvised action, it is a place for counseled action, the train ing ground for independent action. Most student leaders come to prize more than anything else the associations they • have with these faculty men,- the opportunity to know, and perhaps understand, more able and more 'mature minds and men. • Student leaders are aware, too, that in a large university most students miss these associations. There in itself is d wide field for several Dean's assistants These things .All-College Cabinet pointed out These were students talking. Let them be heard, Distributor of C.

Freshman Questions The Penn State Spirit To the Editor: On Sunday afternoon a large number of students turned out to welcome the football team on its return from its victory over Tem ple. But on Friday morning when everyone should have turned out to cheer and encourage the team when it left at 7:30 . from. the Corner Room, only 125 freshmen and three or four sophornores were present. What is wrong with the Penn State' students? Where is the Penn State spirit that I have heard • so much about? I must admit that unless the spirit improves by the time of the 'Syracuse and Pitt send offs, I will be greatly disgusted with rify fellow/ students. - Roy P. Hothdn '44 'Dont Make Paths,' Pleads Dean Of Men To the Editor: Mr. Hostetter has called my at tention to a developing practice that may make an ugly path across the grass terrace between Atherton Hall and College Avenue. 'Students who live east of that point are cut ting across the terrace in increas ing numbers. The campus people try to avoid the making of ugly paths by locating walks wherever they . are consistent with good dampus planning. Obviously this is not the solution on that terrace. We are wondering if you can make an appeal to the students to - avoid making these paths. Incidentally, Mr. Hostetter is giving attention to :the ugly path across the Armory corner at Pol.:. lock Road. This problem can prob ably be taken care of by building, a walk. Yours very truly, A.

Moffet, vice-president of the Standard Oil Company. of California, protested to the state department at Wash ington against Italian bombing 'of American-owned properties of the California-Arabian Standard Oil Company in- Arabia recently. By this ' time every thinking reader of this paragraph from Tuesday morning's news has prob ably asked himself at least a dozen times, "Just exactly what does Mr. Moffet expect the state department to do?" Definitely that is a prob lem. Of course, the -government could lay a carefully-worded•protest on Mussolini's doorstep, but current history seems to indicate that a protest without immediate pros pect of tanks, guns, and bombs backing it up receives about as much attention • as--an advertiSing "stuffer"- - tucked iti'lhe folds . of a -long-overdue bill. ' On the other hand, the United States could stand behind such a protest with the help of the 800,- 4100 young men who will be part (5f its artily by June 15, at least 709,999 of whom have probably said at one time or other, never go to war for an 'oil com pany." The government could do that, but, unsafe as it is to make pre dictions in this 'day, we doubt if it will. The state department's action will probably be to tell Mr. Moffet that it is extremely sorry that some of his oil tanks were blown up, but, since Arabia is quite a 'distance outside the area of Ankerican defense, he will do well to write any loss on the red side of his ledger and in the future hope for the best.
