Editorial (Continued from vage one) All that is known publicly about the case so far has originated from Dr. Lorch’s immediate supporters, who certainly appear to be justi fied in their fight for his reinstatement if the facts as they have been reported are substanti ally true. However, basing our conclusion on past liberal attitudes and actions of the College in relation to discrimination in sports and other fields, we sincerely believe that there is more meat to the story. Although the College's policy is not to pub licize the fact when lemporazy profs are not tendered permanent contracts, this case war rants some statement by the College, for the sole reason that the publicity on the case— begun by the Progressive Party of Pennsyl vania—can be dubbed nothing but damaging to the College. That is our gripe against the College. Our gripe against the Liberal Arts Student Council and the NAACP, which dispatched hasty letters to the Trustees and others protesting the dismissal of Dr. Lorch, is that they protested without knowledge of the complete story. The LA Council, especially, went off the deep end when it inveighed, “In taking stock of our ad ministration, from the Board of Trustees down, we must conclude that principles and ethical, responsibilities have been sacrificed for the in terests of a select few.” PART OF THE UNTOLD story, heretofore not divulged in print, appears on page one of today’s Collegian. The College Senate—princi pal legislative body of the College faculty—has reportedly heard the complete story on the “Lorch case” and has raised no objection to the Trustee action. ALTHOUGH WE FEEL this fact does not ob viate further need for a clear College statement, it packs a wallop because the Senate is pre dominantly profs. The profs, and not the stu dents, should be closest to the “Lorch case” both in interest and verbal concern, because it is their academic freedom which is apparently being jeopardized. When the College profs, through their legislative body, give consent to the Trustee action, it rubs a little of the un happy smear away. There's still room for student concern, but we hope Cabinet does not go off the deep end. Hatlg Collegian Successor to THE FREE LANCE, eat. 188?

Senate— (Continued from page one) End Discrimination in Stuyvesant Town, of which Dr. Lorch is vice chairman, and —on campus—the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People and the Liberal Arts Student Coun cil. To Lose Job Dr. Lorch, who, was dismissed as a teacher by the City College of New York last year, will lose his job as a Penn State prof in June. Dr. Lorch said Mr. Morse told him the dismissal is an outgrowth of Dr. Lorch’s fight against Negro discrimination in the Stuyvesant Town (New York) housing proj ect. This has never been confirmed or denied by the College. Dr. Lorch told the press he “got into hot water” when he invited a Negro couple and their five year-old son' to occupy his Stuyvesant Town apartment as “guests” after he. came here to teach. He said Mr. Morse told him the Trustees viewed this as “ex treme, illegal and damaging to the public relations of, the Col lege.” Court Rulings Two New York courts have re cently affirmed the lawful right of Stuyvesant Town owners to set their own rules.- The Metro politan Life Insurance Co., which operates Stuyvesant Town, was defendant in a court suit involving three ex-Gl’s who are Negroes and were reportedly refused Stuyvesant Town applications. One court affirmed the right of the insurance company as land lord to determine who. shall live in the district, and the decision was later- upheld by a higher court. The case is now pending before the New -York State Su preme Court. An unofficial campus spokes man said last night that in Dr. Lorch’s case as in many others, the College appoints a prof on a temporary one - year contract Safety Valve... which provides that the agree ment will expire without' notice unless renewed specifically by the College. “For the sake of bQth the College and the prof,” he added, “the College does not or dinarily announce reasons for. non-renewal of contract.” The “Lorch case” was released to the press originally by the Progressive Party of Pennsyl vania; the College has made no official press statement. Student Committee Formed Meanwhile, a “Student Com mittee on Academic Freedom” was formed Tuesday night to in vestigate the factors surrounding the College’s failure to tender a permanent contract to Dr. Lorch The committee was organized b>' the NAACP. Attending the meet ing Tuesday were unofficial rep resentatives of several student organizations. An executive committee was appointed to study the various sides of the “Lorch case” and to formulate policy to be presented to the larger committee at its next meeting Monday night. A motion was also carried to draft a letter to the Trustees seek ing a on the case. Elections --- (Continued from page one) and class elections, considerable attention has been focused on the Athletic Association race through active "campaigning. Homer Barr, Louis Lamie, and Rudolph Val entino arei competing • for the presidential post, while Henry Albright, Victor Fritts, Patrick Heims, -and Owen Landon are running for the secretary-treas urership. , AA presidential candidate with the second-highest number of votes will automatically become vice-president of that group. All undergraduate men are eligible to vote for AA officers. The Daily Collegian will carry complete election results tpmor row. TO THE EDITOR: Once upon a time a group of high-minded citizens launched a campaign to do away with intolerance in their community. All but one person in the community joined in the holy war against intolerance. Because this man stubornly refused to crusade for tolerance the citizenry finally voted to kill him—and did. It is very difficult to draw a line between tolerance and intolerance. • Name Withheld Gazette ....
