PAGE TWO Safety Valve... White Elephant? TO THE EDITOR: As one representative of the legions of men—including former Forestry Ball chairmen—who have tried unsuccessfully to obtain the use of White Hall for weekend social functions, I believe I am justified in call ing White Hall a "part-time White Elephant." The observations I make are directed not to wards the validity of "top level" college rulings or to the personal feelings and misguided mo tives of those persons supervising the activities in White Hall, but rather to an analysis of the current lack of social-recreation space on our "Student-Unionless" campus. White Hall was intended to be used for girls' instruction purposes only (as Recrea tion Hall was intended only for the men's physical education activities). However, where would college social functions be with out the use of Recreation Hall by both men and women alike? Unquestionably there is a need_ for desirable space (in addition to the TUB) for college functions. Therefore, let's not forget that this is still a co-ed school, so why not abolish the discriminating tradition "for girls only," and open White Hall to all college use on weekends. Obviously there are extenuating factors such as the current weekend athletic activities scheduled for girls, only, at White Hall. How ever, try to visualize Recreation Hall with a "Closed to Men Only" sign, because of weekend handball tournaments! Until Penn State has•a Student Union build ing,. why not follow, at White Hall, the tradi tional ruling maxim of the Forestry Service: "The greatest good for the greatest number." Hugh C. Black Chairman, Forestry Ball, 1950' West Dorm Meals TO THE EDITOR: Much has been said re cently about the assignment of new students to the West Dorms. I am of the opinion that priority should lie with the upperclassmen. However, that is a subject of debate. I would like to bring to light another. problem closely related. What is going to be done with respecf lo fellows in the West Dorms who work for their meals and such? Is the administration going to set aside one dorm for these fellows, or are they going to be required to take meals in the new cafeteria? I for one work at a fraternity for my meals, and would like to remain in the West Dorms. The rapid influx of students to Penn State has created housing problems in town, as well as on campus; therefore, fellows who work may find it hard to secure a residence in town. This is a real and pressing problem. I would like to see a solution beneficial to those who rely on jobs to relieve financial strain.

Not An Insult .TO THE EDITOR: - r would like to apologize to those "self-respecting" coeds who were offend ed by my letter in defense of the sweater girl contest. - I did not write the letter as an attempt lo strip womanhood of its essential dignity. Frankly, 1,„ am at a loss to explain why so many of the fair sex have suddenly become embittered toward male appreciation of their physical assets. I was under the impression that this process had been going on for centuries, and the competitive glorification of the female form was an accepted behavior norm. No mature person believes this contest is in anyway an insult to honor. Most of the con troversy has been irrelevant, unwarranted, and —juvenile! How vain can women get when they think that the talk or sight of them in a sweater is going to make abnormal sex manias appear, in men? cm= .• TO THE EDITOR: I think that the biggest .loke of the semester is concerned with the rides just released with reference to "IMPORTS"; "they must be returned to their quarters at the same time as women students"—even if they do not stay in the women's dorms. Of course, not that anyone would want to • stay up after 2 a.m. on a big weekend, for what can one do after midnight in State College? I say, "restrict our students but don't fehce our guests in."
