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. While in Dormonl high school
she was head drum majorette and valedictor
ian of her class. Tall, blonde and sophisticated,
Maryann is a former Pittsburgh model, so keep
your eyes open boys she'll be on campus
next fall!

dogs. John, who gets into town today, has been
working for his father in Glens Falls, New York,
for the past winter and will go in training again
this summer with the Bulldogs at their training
camp in Hershey.
Congratulations to Ginny Miller, new WRA
president. Ginny and Nancy Smith will leave
the end of April for the University of Wiscon
sin where they will attend a women's recrea
tional association convention.
Another exciting houseparty week end and
more gay, glorious parties begin tomorrow and
Saturday. One of the nicest formal parties Satur
day night will be the PiKA "Dream Girl" din
ner-dance at the Nittany Lion Inn.
More on the informal side Saturday night will
be the Delta Chi "Ranch Dance," an annual
affair. Many of the brothers are growing side
burns for the occasion. Attire for the evening
is strictly blue jeans, plaid shirts and ten-gallon
hats or reasonable facsimilies.

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.

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.
