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.

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.
Of course, if the Trustees do approve plans for
a Student Union building, at some future date,
they will have to mak e it quite clear that funds
raised will be used for, a- Social Center, and not
Poured into another administrative center as Old
Main turned out to•be.

Student Politics
TO THE EDITOR: No doubt, the students have
nerved that the Key Party has changed its name
to Campus-Key in an effort to enlist the aid of
preJwar men and women who recall the power of
the• Campus political 'machine". party. . • .
However it is only fair. to inform the students
tht all the poliby-making members the old
Campus Party are not supporting Campus-Key in
the coming elections
There are - some of- - us---4who had stakes in the.
Campus partyt--that realize that the old idea of
'fraternity versus independent is- definitely out- .
moded and- that the only real -basis for good stu
dent zovernment is close coOneration between fra_ .
ternity and independent students.
We also greatly resent the plan of Key party to
form a definite opinion that the old Campus Party
is favoring thi s newly. named organization. We
Were members of the -Campus Panty. and ar e now
concerned with the Nittany-Independent Party
bedause we believ e that they are favoring - policies
which will benefit the majority of students. • -
We "tiege other students who were- interested- in
the Campu s Party to investigate both . of the
current parties and not be influenced by a name
only.
