PAGE TWO Orders From a list or regulations for men living in the Pollock Circle Dormitories we not e the following paragraph: "Presentable dinner attire including coats and :ties will be worn at the evening meal during win :an months. Dress shirts and ties or sport shirts during summer months, except on Sundays when ..mats and ties will b e worn." The phraseology. aCter s ome time in the service, remind:4 one of similar orders given by the mili tary. In publishing the regulation, th e Office of the Dean of IMen, I am sure, was presenting it more ris a suggestion than the order it seems to be. Granted, it would improve the appearance of those men eating in the Dorms, to have them in coats and ties instead of sweaters, fatigue suits, dungarees or any of the other combinations now worn. But it's still slightly muddy in the area. All of the dormitories haven't their plumbing fin ished and this isn't the service where one has to wear prescribed clothes. And until the Dining Common management can solv e such matters as lengthy lines of students , vraiting for their meals, provide coat hooks, and maybe -have hired help clear off tables (as they do in fraternitieS) it might be too Much - of an im wsition to demand that coats and ties be worn. r.pest it comes just as a suggestion.

Subscribe to "THE DAILY COLLEGIAN" Sent Anywhere in the United States Published Tuesday through Friday THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Well Do We? Do we really need a Student Union, you ask? Well maybe we don't. Maybe the fraternity houses are able to take care of the social need s of about 2000 of our 70C40 students. Maybe Atherton Hall, with its five hundred women residents, has adequate social facilities, and mayb e not But at least 75 percent of the student body haven't adequate social facilities . • . When the Colleg e took away many of the rooms in Old Main for administrative purposes, w e had no real complaint for it is quite understandable that the administration must expand to operate. When they took th e first floo r lounge in Old Main this Fall for office space, we couldn't oom_ plain, for it is true that their first duty i s to get as many students into the, College as is possible. And an increased enrollment does mean more paper-work, red tape and office procedure. Part of the College's plan to alleviate the social problem was to use the 'Pollock Circle Dining Commons as a center fo r partie s occasionally. That idea is now out the window because the tables are permanently secured to the floor. There'll be no dancing in PCDC. There are 850 men living in the Pollock Circle Dorms but they can't entertain women guests in th e lounges for quite obviou s reasons: inadequate chaperonage, and the Dorms, regardless of fancy titles given them, are still little more than bar racks. W e cannot help but agree with the policy adopted by the Dean of Men's office. Were we in their shoes we too would declare the area "out of bounds" under th e circumstances. But that i s just one More reason why we need a Student Union building. The fraternities help some students—but not enough. Atherton Hall can b e of limited use as a social center—but not enough. White Hall is fine for an occasional dance L---but why should we \be forced to us e the Women's Gymnasium or Rec Hall? They'd be just as happy, to sav e their floors and have us out of there—if' we had some place e lse to go.
