BEAVER PHONE 4921 FREE DELIVERY THE COLLEGIAN Letters to the Editor More Short Courses Not all college-bound ex-Gls are seeking bachelor degrees. The School of Agriculture reports- in creasing numbers of ex-servicemen in its shont courses. The two-year agricultural -course also -has proved al.traotove to them. Dear Editor: Criticism has -been raised with regard to the booth system.. As you all know, it is traditional at Penn State for the fraternities to set up individual boothes. Now, even though these boothes are open, .it does create a certain amount of segregation and dis crimination as to who can con gregate there. At a large formal [ike the Winter Fantasy, there were .many imports and non-or ganized independents. These people had no place provided for them to sit between dances, and, consequently, many of them voiced their disapproval. They and their dates felt as if they would be intrduing if they enter ed the fraternity boothes. There was one booth provided for independents by IFC, but this evidently was not adequate ac commodation. I would like to of fer several suggested solutions to this -problem: The system of boothes could be set up wiith no designation as to individual fraternities, 'and open to all. Or, the traditional system could be followed with additional space set aside for in dependents. Since the indepen dents can’t provide ' furniture, it might be possible for eabh fra ternity to do Date a couch. Perhaps there are other sug gestions many of you could of fer, for I feel that some action should be taken to provide for everyone. Penn State is noted for its spirit of -hospitality—let’s fol low it through in this case, too! .- —BOBBIE ROBERTS (Editor’s Note: The following letter was received by Collegian from the Trustees of Lingnan University, Canton, China. Since 1911, Penn State students have been, supporting Lingnan Uni versity' through Chapel offer ings.) Home Again After Seven Years! In October 1938, Lingnan Uni versity evacuated its beautiful campus before the capture of Canton by the Japanese -army. Almost exactly seven years later, President Lee set foot on the campus again, September 15, 1945, and two days .later Dr. Rhoads and Dr. and. Mrs. Kun kle, as we learned indirectly through Chungking. A little later, Dr. Henry, Provost of the Uni versity but temporarily serving the United States Government in Kunming, could not resist an op portunity for a hurried) trip to Canton by air. Arriving over the city, he was favored by the pilot with three circling flights above the Lingnan, campus. From this view, Dr. Henry re- In due course Chinese friends will finance Lingnan as Ameri cans finance institutions in this country. But between the present and that future date is a great gap with desperate need to be met. One specific responsibility cannot be shifted in the slightest measure by the American Trus tees either to our Chinese Direc tors or to United China Relief— 'the return of the American facul ty to active service after deten tion for years in this country. Please continue to be one of these friends.
