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."

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. Other opinions
on this subject are welcome,

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."
