Letters to the Editor'
;Dear : Misinformed ExrGl: "■'
In, reply, to your letter to the
editor in': the .January 8 issue of
the ;Collegian, I’d like to call your
/attention to a .feW. points about
/the V-12 \ (/now NROTC) program
.■•which are apparently unknown to
.you. ‘ '
-r~ I’d-like to begin by quoting just
one. line from: your letter. “Any
fair minded person knows that
tthe-majority of _ser Vicemen have
sacrificed . and contributed more
•to the war than those in the
AS TP, V-. 12, and AAF programs.”
Do you Know that more than 40
percent of the, men in this unit
..dfe those who/after serving time.
,':at : sea were fortunate enough to
f* ualify; arid .be placed in this pro
raih - ’on the - reeofhfrte'ndatibh. ; of
: •tfi' - :
-. There are also men hi, the unit
|who, could still call the -man With
•l&ve -.years service, a “boot.”
‘There are . also about 'a dozen
t“h'ash mark's” in the unit, al
though seldom worn. Count the
“battle stars 1 ’ and see for your
self . just ; ,what these meti have
contributed.
It is not the desire of the
;;*Writerto airgue or carry this mat
ter any further. It is only the de
- sire to inform the ex-GI in ques
tion that thee are many NROTC
.. .men 'that have seen lots of sea

Dear Editor: ;

able time replying to my- letter
criticising the College admission
plaii for its unfairness to a'certain
'group of veterans.
The minor point raised in re

vast majoity of its participants
with little or no overseas duty!
Naturally, in' order to stress the

devote space to make, the obvious

service. It was assumed that

Student Union Project
Alumnae Present Suggestions
By LARRY F&3TER
"I’ll meet you in Ihe Union!"
'lt’s a familiar phrase on the
campus of many colleges, and it
jrows more familiar • each yea'
because it forms the center of
activity for every student. As
soon- as the union . catches the
tempo of . social and cultural life,
it forms the hub of every import
ant campus function. Social activ-.
ities, committee sessions, informal
group luncheons, recreation and
“spur of the moment” discussions,
all find a spot in the union build
ing.
However, the individual needs
of each campus differ and the type
of social and recreational facilities
-vailable lessen the need for im
'movements. Often in large cities
downtown theatres and. amuse
ment places are in plain view of
the dormitories, flashing all the
■glamour they can muster with
Peon and colored lights, and pro
viding .mighty stiff dcimpetitioi
for the Student Union building.
State College offers little rival
ry along these lines and the main
source of competition a union
building, would; encounter is the
Corner Room. 'Because space, will
naturally be limited, it will be
wise for the .College officials Who
determine what the building will
contain to make their choices cor
respond to the most important
needs Of the students.

tures- that we're suggested; for the
proposed building by Worden grad

that no offense was directed to
ward him. , ■ ■
But, my vicious buddy, couldn’t
you be fair enough to mention
that every man in the NROTC ap
plied for that tender duty? 'You
gave a- sorrie-what different im
pression.
Can’t you visualize anyone be
ing altruistic enough to feel the
plight of others? True, my bit
terness "stems partly from my
closeness. to being in the same
boat as the many other veterans
who also ' had postponed college
education to fight a-war. Inci
dentally, they kept my T.S. chit
when they paid me off.
So you see, son, there was no
need for your viciousness or truc
ulence; my contention still re
mains the same:—that any de
serving veteran should not be de
nied admittance because of his
'failure to begin college training
before serving his country in time
of war.
Still sincerely yours,
Fortunate Freshman.
Dear Editor,
In your last issue you mention
ed the necessity of opening Dry
Dock in the Episcopal Church Par
ish House because of the lack of
facilities on caprpus.
White Hall has been investi
gated as the t ideal setup for this.
Because of some petty indiderits
in the past this building has been
closed to any - activities including
■men.
I consider this a 1 very stupid at
titude for supposedly broad, mind
ed physcial education administra
tors whose constant cry is more
recreation for college students. <
As to dancing wearing the floor
down, they can always lay a ne\v
one in 50 years. . '
