PALL TWO Safety Valve ... On the New Dorms TO THE EDITOR AND THE STUDENTS AT PENN STATE: Dean Emeritus A. R. Warnock Is about the finest man I have ever met. He raised student government at Penn State from its infancy to what it is today. Those of us who have graduated and those of you who are still attending Penn State ought to be proud of the student government we have .. . In the Daily Collegian of Feb. 10, I read "A Chat with ARW" in which it was stated that a committee was formed, of which I was a mem• ber, to set up the policy governing use of the new men's dormitories. The recommendations of this committee were to go to the Board of Trustees. I never represented the students on such a committee. I was a member of the Student Union committee, which sometimes mentioned the new dorms but never set up a policy decid ing who was to live in them. I don't want to disagree with ARW, but I do think this point should be cleared up. My opinion on the new dorms is that the men now living in Nittany and Pollock Dorms have been there for a long time and have had some hardships, but in working with student govern ment have done a good job. Except for the few who will always find something to complain about, the fellows have earned their reward of moving into the "hotels." I don't think freshmen should have first choice in the new dorms. The policy of putting new men in the new dorms and later moving them to the Nittany and Pollock dorms is ab solutely out of the question. If the Trustees think that by putting the freshmen in the new dorms they can be easily controlled, then I believe the Trustees are de nouncing student government. If student gov ernment is to do its job I think it must be given a chance. With student government work ing effectively in the Nittany and Pollock area I see no reason why the incoming freshmer, can't do a good job in the area. aim Daily Collegian Suecestor to THE FREE LANCE, oat. 1887 Published Tuesday through Saturday mornings in. elusive during the College year by the staff of The• Dial Collegian of The Pennsylvania State College.

THE DAILY COLT,EGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Little Man On Campus Joe Repeat Tour Recently one of the Collegian sophomores oaolc students on what purported to be a tour of the Collegian office in an , article on this page. However, I'm afraid she wasn't too accurate; so here we go on another tour of this "newspaper" office, * * * THIS BARREN ROOM, crowded with a score of typewriters and three score joes and coeds is where we do our work—where the Col legian is produced. The three haggard young men who look like they haven't been fed in a week and are pitching pennies in the corner are the student government reporters, They have the most responsible'news•assig,nments, but have nothing to do today because Cabinet officials are too busy reading "Sane Sex Life." Another responsible news assignment is the activities of the office of the president of the College. Much information of value to students is released by this office. The unkempt fellow over by the window—the one with an unlit cigaret in his mouth and a burning butt behind each ear—is in charge of this beat. He's waiting around for the College publicity agent to come back from vacation so that he can find some "hot scoops." And that weary, undernourished nymphomaniac in the tight sweater who's throwing dice on the editor's desk? She writes the Church Calendar. That worried, scowling and haggard character who's reciting Shakespeare to a bored coed is the drama critic. Hamlet is his Bible, and he doesn't like anything else. WHO'S THAT tired, thin, red-headed guy sunk in thought over by the window—the one with the malicious sneer on his lips? lie's •he managing editor and he's thinking up some nasty things to say bout the trustees for not getting a permanent president for the lllege. He never reads the Collegian and no one's told him about 3enhower. The scowling, unkempt' character arguing with the haggard :now in a tuxedo is the editor. Ho bet on California in the Rose 'owl game and is ,trying to get out of paying off. The guy in the IX is the sports editor—he always dresses the part. What's that? Who's the fellow at the typewriter near the door— .e only one who's kempt, unworried, happy,. well-fed and not ,:owling—the only one who's writing anything? Oh, he's not im portant. That's President Eisenhower and he's writing a letter to some character he knows up at Columbia. cotru4 677 1 t es TICKETS NOW ON SALE AT STUDENT UNION Players present: TIME The First IS A National Bank DREAM • a' thought Ot State College • provoking play OPENS RUN • TONIGHT Friday —90 c Saturday --$1,25 Member of - REFRESHMENTS - Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation at CENTER STAGE Federal Reserve System All and Hamilton St. "Centre County's only continually running LIVE Theatre" ' Curtain-8 p.m. by Bibler COLIe6e STUPOIT -L.

Biological Virtues TO THE EDITOR: It is with great irritation that I read these critical comments on the Sweater Girl, Speaking as .one who believes that sex should be man's most noble and in spiring expression of human dignity, X take sharp exception with those who relegate erotic ism to the demimode of the pimp, prostitute and the pervert. To continue this idea, I advocate not only Miss Ankles, Miss Hips, but also Mr. Shoulders and Mr. Muscles. Indeed, there is no reason why the biological virtues of miladies should be masked by the bourgeosie custom of idle inhibi tion. • Leifer Cut Doesn't Seem 'Fair TO THE EDITOR: I am writing this letter in behalf of the men in my dormitory and for some of the men in surrounding dorms. Our main gripe is that we do not see the, reason for placing the Freshmen men in the new dorms. We believe that they should be made to live in the same "in-the-rough" atmosphere that we have been living in the past few semesters. The seniors, juniors, and sophomores in that order, should have first preference in the dorms. If there is still any room left, then allow Fresh men to moveln. To us, the present arrangement does not seem fair. On the other hand, we offer no complaints and are not crying about our living conditions here now, but when newer and better dorms are built in State College we upper olkssmen should live in them. 0 Name Withheld Gazette . . . .
