Unfair to Coeds Critique magazine is to be congratulated for ttirming the article, "Heartache on the Campus" by !Ars. Glenn Frank. Not belonging to a fraternity or sorority is a problem that confronts many students each year when honors are handed out. Male students are not affected by the problem as much as the coeds. Here at Penn State there are almost enough fraternities, o take care of those interested and the days when only a Greek-letter man can make out on campus are past. A look at the student leaders now in important positions on campus shows that an independent man who has the interest can make out in campus activities. Over on the coed side of college life, there are not enough sororities to take care of all the women students. It has been pointed out before on this page and substantiated by the Dean of Women, that some girls are heartbroken each year to the point of dropping out of school when they don't re ceive that bid from a sorority. Mrs. Frank concludes her article with the statement that Greek-letter societies shotild be abolished from the col lege campus. We think that is going too far. The only fault seems to be that too much emphasis by the administration and by the women students is placed on the premise that the Greeks are the top students on campus. There is on any campus that peculiar species that, for one reason or another, prefers to remain independent. Yes, not all the independents are students turned down by a Greek house. Most male Greeks realize this and very little significance is placed on a man's social status when the honoraries tap their new men. However, the coeds still have this to learn. Very few independent women ever make the honor societies. No, let's not abolish the sororities and let's not have the administration slap rigid controls on them. The reforms that are needed must come from within the organizations them selves. The person who "lives alone and likes it" should have his share of recognition too! Is Schwab Too Large? Penn State doesn't need a new auditorium! That's what anyone sitting in Schwab Auditorium Sunday afternoon might have said. Although this past weekend was Mother's Day weekend with close to 10,000 people in State College, only a relative handful went to hear the College Symphony Orchestra's concert. If a member of the College's Board of Trustees visited the auditorium Sunday, the impression that the present building is too large rather than inadequate would have been left with him. The argument that the College has "outgrown" Schwab is used by the students in their request for a new building. When the ne,ct program is given in Schwab Auditorium, let's fill it to overflowing to prove decisively that we need a new and larger auditorium. now.
