WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1943 Letters to the Editor Dear Woody, •In retaliation to the Collegian’s attack, the townspeople’s attack, and the attacks by the officials of the college, I would like to bring out a few points that have not been considered by the majority of the criticizers. My purpose is not to defend the drunkenness and riotousness of the past Saturday night for we all know that it was against the poli cies of the Pennsylvania State College that make it respected by all who are familiar with the school. My purpose is instead to ask why it was not prevented. The administration expected something of the sort to happen, admits it, but they did nothing to prevent the occurence. The question will now arise, “What cpuld they have done?” The answer is very easy and several points can be enumer ated: 1. Notification—The fraternities could have been notified of the conditions at a date further re moved from the time that they would have to vacate. All the fra ternities should have been con tacted by ONE man who was aware of all the facts and could have delivered them first hand rather than going first to the ad visors and then letting them take the. material back to the fraterni ties, with some points not wholly understood even by themselves. 2, Moving —The College could have attempted to make some sort of an arrangement for helping the fellows to move from the fraterni ties.' Taxo . service, everyone knows, is almost impossible and the’hauling service just as bad. Surely the College .could have .made arrangements for the stiu ; dents to have their trunks , and .luggage transported by college trti'cks. The students .would tie .willing,to pay for the service if ,it were offered to them. 3. Eating— Today, : 19 fraterni-' ties will be eating their last meal in their fraternity houses and everyone knows what this is go • ing to mean to the less than ade quate facilities downtown. Still the College hasn’t announced any ■plan for using the part of the old 'Sandwich Shop that the Curtiss 'Wright-'girls are not using. Nor has there been any announcement 'about expanding the service that the Home Economics cafeteria has been rendering. Nothing has been 'done! ■ 4. Rooming—And how about rooming facilities? Yes, we’ve al ready been told there are plenty of rooms, but try to 'find them! Again, today the fraternities are moving out and when does the first list of available rooms be come a reality today! This doesn’t leave much time. Thanks, Chamber of Commerce, it is too bad you weren’t able to go to work sooner. "Many of the home and apartment owners have been telling the students that their rooms are only for married cou ples. To this the big boys say, "You can’t blame them, they have a right to take whom they want to.” Sure, we agree with you, but remember what you told us? C’est la guerre, we must do many things we don’t like to do! This could go on and on by men tioning the trouble the Advanced ROTC boys are having finding rooms for two weeks and wonder ing what clothes they should keep up here, whether they will need blankets or not, and many other problems.
