To Look Immaculate Send Your Clothes —to the— PENN STATE LAUNDRY 320 W BEAVER AVE DIAL 3261 A MAJOR PROBLEM of wom en's housing was settled by Miss Charlotte E. Ray, dean of women, when she decided yesterday that both independent and sorority women will live in Grange Dorm itory next year. Miss Ray had been petitioned to reserve Grange for independent coeds. We, The Women Why Not Keep That Hatchet Buried? Temporary continuation of the Grange situation as it is creates a challenge to both sorority and independent women. Already the controversy has reached such proportions that sorority women will not feel. free tQ select rooms in Grange. Inde pendent coeds, acting on the sug gestion that many try to live in Grange, will all head there. Result of this will be an inde pendent unit without official sanction. No disagreemnets have been encountered in the 12 years the dorm has been built and both groups have been living there. As has been indicated, some members of both groups feel that valuable friendships and associ ations are formed through living in the same dorm. Seldom have sorority and in dependent differences come to light. Under the circumstances recently created, an unfavorable situation is being formed. Why encourage friction and group consciousness between the two bodies? Both sides have had their say —why , not continue the congen iality that exists? If the plan does not prove satisfactory as in the past ,then let definite action be taken. RiDrc Wanted and galj Offered P.W.—Phila. every weekend. C —Andy, 4102. Lv. phone number.. P.W. Pittsburgh.

Ray, dean of women, explain ed yesterday in a letter to % the petitioning committee of Grange Dormitory. The letter was in answer to two petitions submitted to Miss Ray's office more than a month ago. One wanted Grange open only to non-sorority women; the other requested that both sor ority and non-sorority coeds live there. Chief difficulty of the segrega tion, the letter stated, would come in placing non-sorority women in vacancies created by women practice-teaching and go ing to home management houses for eight-week periods four times each year. Dean Ray has urged that many independent women select_ rooms in Grange at room-drawing next week and that independent coeds be considered . for house officers next fall. Following subrriission of peti tions four representatives of both sides met with members of Dean Ray's staff and discussed the sit uation. One outstanding reason was presented by each side. Non sorority women felt that they would gain better representation in campus activities and the other group wished to retain the close association between sorority and independent women.

Dean Ray Answers Two Petitions To the Petitioning Committee of Grange Dormitory: A question exciting so much interest as the assignment of Grange Dormitory for.next year is worthy of thorough considera tion. Fortunately, a great many students with differing views have come to this question with a fair degree of information plus open minds. Running through various sug gestions there appear two com mon principles: the desire to give independent women better rep resentation in campus activities and the ambition to retain and promote comradeship between independent and sorority women. Hence, any decision given must be regarded not as a permanent but as a suggested working plan for the coming year. The need for filling eight weeks vacancies created by coeds practice-teaching and going to home management houses is a problem to be met four times a year in a way to disturb as few as possible, a problem that would become very difficult if non-sor ority women had`to be found for all such vacancies. This fact and the earnest desire of many sorority and non-soror ity women to work out their com mon aims lead us to say that for the coming year we find it bet ter to have Grange open to both groups. At the same time we suggest that many independent coeds choose rooms in Grange next week, also that residents of this house in September consider the wisdom of selecting independent women as house officers' because these coeds will have more time to give to planning and executing a house program. This will en able officers to work freely with other independent women on a campus-wide program. If the plan for the coming year does not bring satisfaction to coeds concerned, justice demands that those dissatisfied have a large share in working out a new program at the end of the year of experiment.
