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.

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.

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.

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.
