G' . /:GE TV.-, Letters —From the Editor's Mailbox GT . :heating in Classes To THE EDITOR: Probably most of the stucL 1. , 0dy and professors have already read the follow jog letter that was published in the March 10, P 47 o,lition of Life Magazine. but I would greatly ap pt•eciate it if you could print it in Collegian. This :letter is in relation to the article on cheating in the 'University of Texas a few issues back. "Sirs:—We professors are largely responsible for i.iudent cheating. We invite it by: 1. Our own stupidity. Any professor who gives the kind of quiz that can be passed by cribbing off the cuff, etc., isn't quite bright. 2. What we expect from the student in an ex amination. All semester he has been toting thick textbooks in some half-a-dozen subjects. In addi tion he has class lectures' and_collateral agsign )nents. No mind, however brilliant, can absorb so )nuch information in so short a time. Yet the student is expected to enter an ex amination blind, while the professor, who has confined himself to one field, has all along re tied on his notes. He would 'flunk' without :them. 3. fThe artificiality of the whole examination uystem. The student is supposed to know the an ;:i.vers to any question, sight unseen, thrown at )1 Mi.. But in life the lawyer may consult his legal i.nmes, the physician can refer to his medical looks .." y .

CT.NLLI-7.GE, PENNSYLVANIA Coeds Satisfy TO THE EDITOR: In the oast few weeks a few of our "Casanova's" have written letters which have dealt rather harshly with the coeds here at school. This practice has developed until it is now fash ionable to talk about how homely the girls are. That time worn joke that of the girls arc pretty and the others go to Penn State is out of date and definitely out of taste. The coeds at State can compare favorably with any group of girls of a comparable nature anywhere. . Anyone who doesn't believe this, can stand down at the bus station any big weekend and obseive the so-called "queens" who come to town. To "Robert Taylor" Ross, who must have been overlooked when the Snow King was selected, we can only suggest that he is Wasting his time here at State and should be in Hollywood where he can be with women more to his tastes. We who are not Gregory Pecks or Clark Gables in disguiSe; are 'i:itiite•satisfied with-the coeds who by their silence-in this matter show a great better breeding than their more vociferous critics: • Open Your Eyes TO THE EDITOR: We suppose that Mr. Ross thinks this campus is simply drawling with Tyrone. Pow ers, etc. Well, open your eyes, brother' It really is quite a shock when you begin looking around at sonic of these creatures on campus called men. The example they set up for the coeds is nothing to brag about. It's too bad his acquaintances are limited to Ag Hill bulls. Maybe if he would get around a little more he would find that there are quite a few coeds who don't have to depend on drinking or smoking for their popularity. Or is that his trouble —that type won't date him? If he thinks our coeds here are so bad, why not go someplace else where he thinks he could find better? Or if he came here just for the school, then what is he doing worrying about the coeds any how? As a final word, may we leave this thought with him. Before he begins tearing the •girls apart, I.dok over the men a little more carefully. Also instead of always seeking out the excep tion to the rule, take notice of the good quAlities of the average coed. Ah, Spring According to the poet, wihen winter comes spring dannot be fa r behind; and with spring comes Cabi net's pleas to "keep off the graSs." Cabinet's "keep off the grass" dotrimlittee is even now making plans for Its annual Campaign against. people who take shortcuts across grassy areas o n campus. Unfortunately, however, automobiles apparently are not under Cabinet's jurisdiction, for at almost every athletic event in Rec Hall or at New Beaver Field, and even during classes in Sparks, one may see cars parked all over the lawns near the tri dorms, overflow from parking areas neaZ Rec Hall and Sparks. Since the ground at' these times is often soft , and muddy, the :cars' tires tear !deep ruts in the formerly smooth lawns. When the ground is not covered with snow, even now, these tire ruts can be seen very plainly. What will these lawns look like when the grass begins to grow this spring? Why hat increase the scope of our "keep off the grass" cardpatn this year, 'and keep both . feet and tires off the grass? Edit Qyips They can laugh and scorn "the low standards of the LA school" but anyone who has ever tried to petition a course will swear. (as they wail and gnash their teeth) that no more hard-hearted, ex acting Unrelenting committee exists than the peti tioning committee which has set itself up as "the watchdog and upholder of the standards of the Liberal Arts School."
