ll's SIM Jusi A Start
The appointment of Danny De . Marino as an
assiStant'to A. R. Warnock, `dean of men, is every
bit as tritiah overdue as it Is welcome. An assis
tant dean of men is something that the College
has needed for years.
When the Student Housing Board launched disk
mission concerning this matter just. about .a year
ago, All College Cabinet 'endorsed the proposal
and outlined some of the 'deities which an assis
tant , dean of men should haVe.
Because •an assistant dean has finally been ap
pointed, •this seems like a proper •time to review
a Yew `of -the Ideas brought out in past Cabinet
meetings. 'They serve , to show what student
leaders rthcittght were the most urgent problems
of student affairs. The points presented were
good.
It was pointed out that Dean Warnock, who
came to Penn State When its enrollment was close
to 2,ooo,thasrbeen asked to 'carry the bUrden alone
with 'the ,enrollment boosted to 7,000 •and 'an 'en
rollnient 'of '15,000 already an 'established and at
tainable 'goal awaiting only the necessary expan
skin di 'the , physical plant.
It was pointed out that students who, after all,
have proposed this move would welcome, not
shun, - the closer .counseling an enlarged Dean's
office woUld afford.
It •was pointed out that students recognize the
lack of permanency in their own organizations
which 'must 'change personnel every year and
would welcome the stabilizing backbone that as
sistant deans could provide.
It was pointed out that rooming inspection is
not the only problem.
There is the matter of Inteifraternity 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 there same things.
These points hold true. And it is evident
that in order to. carry them out would require not
one, but many, assistant deans of men. We do
not know whether mere will he added to Dean
Warnock's staff in the very near future, and we
are net sure why only one has been added so far.
The reason why mere assistants have not been
provided is probably because of financial limita
tions. It is no secret that rising prices are•mak
ing.the•College cut dovni on its spending wherever
possible.
If that is the reason, it is a good" one. But let's
not forget 'that after "the war and all that goes
with it many- of these student problems will still
be here. We hope that then Danny DeMarino
won't he alone in his job.

When you cut up the meat of a subject too
—much, all you have left is hamburger, but we still
want to sound off with a crescendo for the action
of. Jerry Doherty in •ceding the All-College presi
dency to Bob Baird. We're impressed by 'the
fact That .the presidency carries a compensation
of $250 per year, while the vice-presidency reaps
only . $5O. Both Doherty and Baird have worked
their way through Penn State, maintaining high
averages and extensive student activities while
also engaged in time-consuming drudgery to .tit
food on the table. Baird, washed-out Of the - Navy
as allier, received an unsolicited letter 'to his draft
board from the Navy, extolling 'his fine abilities
as a leader and requesting that he be allowed to
finish his college 'carrer to take up a commission
on graduation. Doherty's yielding to Baird, re
gardless of their close friendship, strikes us as a
wholesome note, as well as the fact that Baird
made no overt demands for his 'presidency.
'Every Man A Mat Mang
We feet faintly happy that the Lehigh tussle
will be a local affair. Riding in the — average
student conveyance to an away game is really
behind 'times. You proceed behind other cars;
you arrive behind schedule; you get behind in
your New Year's resolutions, and it's hard on
your *behind. DUI our woes are lightened 'by
Tribunal's Stymied'effort 'to .become • a hat society.
Remember Huey Long, boys? "Every man a
hat man!" Too 'bad, Tribunal, don't let the
frosh make you feel Inferior.. Perhaps Cabinet,
had you 'confused with "the Lingnari end 'of "the
China vs. local charities feud. Feta viam in
venient!
Cpmpus Sour Notes
While we bloW our horn comes a sour note for
those coeds meowing around on Mim Ithein's
behalf. Especially her Thespian pseudo-friends.
We hold no brief for Mim's voice, but it seems
to us -that the gi:'apes hang sour.
We paused in „Philip Shelley's German 1 class
long enough to conceal a 'grin when Bill Reimer,
Delta 'Chi. frosh, declared the opposite of subor=
dinate 'clauses to 'be "insubordinate clauses."
Between Reimees role 'of a . stiper=radical stild
erit editor in the Player's shoW, and being a
member of the local scribbler's professional, the
rush of :things' must have been too much.
It 'seems 'to be an unwritten law that - every
collegiate columnist, sooner or later, has to print
sortie poetry of more or less dubious quality.
We're going to burst into sting right new, and 'get
it over with. •

tami on ends
On many of the defense projects 'encountered by the Bdi
System the work sheets showing telephone faciliqes
needed and time allowed—would make tizood, conservative
engineer's hair stand on end.
For example, take the Navy's 'huge new air base near
Corpus Christi, Texas, which covers 14,500 acres, includes 29 .
separate flying fields and 481 buildings. Closely connected
with the base arc Defense Housing projects for 1700 families.
Imagine the complex problems involved in planning tele.
phone facilities' for this new "city" where formerly there
were sand dunes—in obtaining and installing miles and miles
of Wire and cable, switchboards, telephones by the thousand.
But - telephone engineers and construction men took hold
—proceeded to shatter records—completed their huge - task
in spcmingly im.possilde 'time. For men with the "will to
do," there's a real thrill. in such Bell-System work!
