PAGE TWO Letters from the Editor's Mailbox Equal Rights for Men TO THE EDITOR: In sympathy with the inde pendent men we cocas feel that justice should be dc.ne! We can understand their desire for better food and better living facilities, and so we believe it is only fair that the cormitories now under con struction be turned over to these men. It follows, therefore, that when they enjoy equal dormitory facilities they will also enjoy equal dormitory privileges. Now remember you must be in the dorm by 10' o'clock during the week and don't forget to sign in and out Friday and Saturday nights. And if you come in five minutes late you'll only get a one o'clock removal though it may happen to be the weekend for which you have big plans. ' By the way, a casual reminder, if your parents don't send that permission directly to your dor mitory hostess it just means a weekend campus for returning from home after 11 p.m. And this above all . . . you can't have your beer and drink it too! Yours for equal rights for men, Six Coeds Commends Co-op Stand TO THE EDITOR: You are t o be highly com mended on your editorial some days ago, and your stand in general on the co-op issue.

ESSLEY College Sportswear ALLEN AT BEAVER ESSLEYT TRLISEN/ZEP® COLLARS CAN'T CRUMPLE WON•T Wan re .?./ [ 3 SHIRTS in White and --$3.95- THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA can help the co-op decision more than anything else by truthfully expressing the 'vox populi.' The ocncept of the co-operative is more basic. and goes deeper than the dollars and cents saved by the students, it is the expression of a new phil osophy. In attempting to fight the extreme collec tivism and other ideas of communism the defects of a rugged, self-centered individualism are becom ing more and more obvious. It is imperative that We find a better answer to communism; perhaps that is to be found in the idea of community— where mutuality, the working for one's own good through the group, is the driving force. The co-operatives are the outcome of such thinking; and in supe•essing such things the Trustee n would eo well to look beyond private enterprise to the good of the community, the State and Penn State.

AVC Loner to Milholland TO THE EDITOR: The following is a copy of the letter sent to Acting President James Milholland by the Centre County Chapter AVC protesting the co op decision of the Board of Trustees: "We of the American Veterans Committee strongly endorse the 'Collegian' editorial deplor ing the Board of Trustees' rejection of the pro posed student co-operative store. "We feel the action of the Board of Trustees to be unjustifiable discrimination against the students of this college and a subservient catering to private interests in the community. A great many of the Penn State students are pecuniarly distressed un der the present inflationary conditions and feel that this action of the Board of Trustees unneces sarily imposes continued hardships upon them. "We respectfully urge you to use your influ- once toward securing a reconsideration by the Board of Trustees of the co-op proposal at the earliest possible moment."
