PAGE •• 0 New Hope for Students Significant, far-reaching and beneficial administrative changes were culminated at last weekend's meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Board of Trustees Creating posts to coordinate all College housing, food service, and probably most important, student activities, the Trustees mod ernized and streamlined the all-important agencies dealing with the essential non-academic life of every student. IT WAS FITTING THAT RUSSELL E. CLARK be named director of housing, after 13 years as bursar. His sound advice makes him well-liked by students fortunate enough to know him, in spite of his "unpopular" post. His duties will include utilizing all of the College's housing quarters at maximum efficiency. In addition to men's and women's dormitories and family residence units on the main campus, any housing facilities operated by the College on branch campuses and at extension centers will come under his jurisdiction. Allocation of living quarters to alumni, guests and delegates to campus conventions will likewise be entrusted to Mr. Clark. ALTHOUGH SHE HAS SERVED THE COLLEGE little more than a year as supervisor of dining halls and foods buyer, Miss Mildred A. Baker's ability and sincerity fit her admirably for the post of director of food services. • In addition to supervising all dining facilities operated by the College on the main campus, branch campuses or extension centers, she will direct and advise the management of coffee shops, snack bars or any other food facilities ever operated by the College.. Allocation of College dining facilities to alumni, guests and delegates to conventions will be another of Miss Baker's functions. STUDENTS AND THEIR PROBLEMS will have an honest and sincere spokesman in the deliberations of the Council on Adminis tration when Wilmer E. Kenworthy assumes his position of assistant to the president in charge of student activities. He will coordinate practically all non-academic services of the College related to student welfare. Among the offices responsible to him will be the deans of men and women, counsellor of veterans and of foreign students, placement service, health service, associated student activities and student union, and chaplain. Evidences of Mr. Kenworthy's past interest in student matters encourage hopes that the student will soon assume a more important role in College affairs. "To be a woman is to be misunderstood," somebody once said (probably a man). It was just a three-inch editorial, but an atomic bomb dropped on Old Main wouldn't have received a louder recep tion. Honest, fellows, I.was only kidding. Most people, including the 'Red' menace, have acknowledged this fact. So let me make it clear that I'm not a misanthrope, a "beast out looking for a man," or a "beauty beating away admiring males." But now this battle of the sexes is in full swing, and the Safety Valve is threatening to explode. Penn State women have been ex pressing their opinions, if not in letters to Collegian. "It's all ridiculous," was the favorite remark. "The whole issue was started to get students to read Collegian." But, in spite of these statements, all the coeds I interviewed said they had no gripes against Penn State men. One mathematically-minded female said, "For every girl Schmo, there's a boy Schmo. Since there are five men to every woman at Penn State, there are five boy Schmos for every girl Schmo." Regardless of ratios, and according to certain biological laws, both men and women are here to stay. So fellows, let's kiss and make u.. There's nothing like an old crow, according to the boys in Nittany Dorm 35. Recently a few of the fellows gut their hands on two dead crows and cut their feet off. After this gruesome deed they thought one of their buddies, Tyler Hornet, needed a couple of bedfellows so they pitched the birds in Tyler's face while he was asleep. Needless to say, he was soon awake. A little while later the dorm president, Joe Giesey, was about to go to bed and was amazed to find the dead birds sleeping peacefully (and permanently) with their heads resting on his pillow. Among the — imports" for the week end is Maryann Stewart, sister of Delta Gamma Jane Stewart and daughter of Dr. D. H. Stewart. president of the Pennsylvania State Educa tional Association, and Mrs. Stewart. Maryann is a freshman at Bloomsburg and is majoring in mathematics.

NITTANY—A Southern Yankee 1::QM:1 TO VIE EDITOR: A friend has sent me a clip ping of the story you carried concerning my con viction in Federal Court for counseling draft re sistance.... some of the facts were misleading. I have not been sentenced, A jury has found me guilty but as yet the judge has not imposed any sentence. The maximum possible sentence is five years in prison and $lO,OOO fine. I was not convicted for persuading a student to refuse to register. My only crime, if it was a crime was to give moral support to a conscientious ob jector who had already decided to - refuse registra tion and had so notified his draft board before I ever met him. There was no element of persuasion involved nor did I at any time counsel him to continue his refusal to register. I told him I agreed with his action, that I too would not reg ister, and that if he was inwardly prepared to take the full penalty that society and the govern ment might impose I would give him my full sup port. If this conviction stands . . . it means that no minister, teacher, parent can give moral support to a non-registrant conscientious objector without violating the law. It hits at the very heart of free speech and religious freedom and many people are concerned that the thing be reversed in the Su preme Court if not before. My interest in the prin ciples at stake in the case go far beyond personal considerations. I should be glad to answer, through . . . correspondence, any questions which might be raised. ' Letter cut TO THE EDITOR: The famed "battle of the sexes"—started, Pm sure, in a light vein for the purpose of entertainment—has lost its humor. The Daily Collegian has been flooded with bitter, nasty, asinine, little letters. This is hardly in keep ing with the universal tradition of spring—its birds, bees, and flowers. I'm a loyal member of one sex, and a perpetual lover of the other. Penn State coeds and Penn State men are just like the people we know from Everytown. And what do you love more than people? The only thing I like more than people is male people. Yes, there it is in print! The Penn State coed is proud to say that her favorite sex is the opposite sex. And what's more—this chick, along with many others, has no gripe• to make about imports. I've been a Penn State import, an import to other schools, and moreover, I've imported to this fair campus. I'll bet my house-party date that the majority on both sides of the sex-fence think this whole silly fuss has grown to annoyingly sad proportions. Let's call it quits. And may we all thank Cupid. —N.
