'Two-Legged Characters'
TO THE EDITOR: "W or ke r s of the world
unite," said Karl Marx. This familiar expression
may easily be adapted to the present rather child
ish situation at Penn State. How an individual
can have the audacity to refer to those two-legged
characters—called women by abnormals—as intel
ligent, good-looking and personable is beyond my
power of comprehension.
First of all, I asked 65 men who they thought
were intelligent among the female population
here. Sixty-four said Dean Weston—because she
takes boredom off our hands by 1 a.m. week-ends.
One said Elsie, but he was an Ag. student and
prejudiced.
Also, these same 65 males when asked about
physical attributes of our "beauties" made com
ments like the following: "I think the gargoyles
on Sparks have it all over them."
As for personality, I've got two gold-fish who
have more personality in each of their little fins
than most coeds I've had the "marvelous experi
ence" of dating.
That was excellent rationalization on the part
of the writer when she stated "some resort to im
porting strange creatures around big week-end
time." She should devote her talents in developing
a more intellectual group of women here ratter
than compensate for their shortcomings by tear
ing down God's gift to the world—MEN.

MALE READERS of the Daily Collegian 'tan bypass this col
umn. Because today I am directing my comments solely to the
Collegian's "most intelligent, good looking and personable readers
—the women."
Miss Rosen last Friday obviously was attempting to justify the
righteous wrath of her sisters in sex against tirades from the "Red"
menace. However, on both sides the issue has so far been lightly
presented, Miss Rosen and myself treating the man-woman rela
tionship here in a humorous vein. Now it seems the problem is to
take a weightier turn.
In response to many demands, I recently conducted a spot
survey of men students on campus to determine the answer to the
question, "What is your biggest gripe against Penn State women in
particular?"
THE SURVEY WAS NOT SCIENTIFIC. I made no attempt
to get an exact cross-section of male campus life, and the number
interviewed was comparatively small, about NO to be exact. Yet
some of the answers were repeated by almost every one of the sub
jects interviewed, and thus I felt publication of the results might
make the local femmes more aware of just what causes all the
weeping into mugs, importing, and yes, even column writing.
This is not meant as a blanket indictment of Penn State coeds,
and to prevent my being stoned to death, I again want to repeat:
the answers given to the above question are actual replies of the
students who may very well sit next to you in Psych 17.
Outstanding among the complaints was the fact that lass Penn
State Coed wants to put on airs—to impress her dates with her
beauty, desirability, and the number of men she turned down be
fore accepting his particular invitation.
COMMENTS like "They have that to-hell-with-you attitude,"
and "They lack the congeniality of city girls" Were not uncommon.
This attitude particularly angers the womanless sex when the she
male putting on the dog is blessed with a face and figure only a
mother could learn to love.
"To see a girl who couldn't beg a date in any other spot on
earth flaunt herself before my eyes is too much," one luckless fra
ternity man said.
CURIOUSLY EI4OUGH, lack of intelligence was mentioned
even more often than a discrepancy in beauty. Two men said that
coeds talk too much about sex, and another gave the opinion they
were all majoring in pre-marriage.
Other less-mentioned complaints were their flightiness, flirting
with other men when on a date, making dates too far in advance,
gossiping, and "expecting everything while giving nothing."
There you have it, girls, straight from the mouths of the frus
trated creatures you ignore, and vice versa. Whether this expose
will have any material benefits is problematical. But at least the
mutterings are now out in the open.
THIS, HOWEVER, ISN'T THE END. I'm in the process of inter
viewing a group of coeds, to find out their chief gripes against Penn
State men.
