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.
