75 Seek Positions hi West Dorms About 75 applications have al ready been received for appoint ments to the posts of resident ad visors in the men’s dormitories, according to Prof. G. M. Guthrie, in charge of the program. Forty applicants will be accept ed about May 15. As the plans now stand, there are about 20 ad visors in the Nittany-Pollock area and about 20 in the West Dorm area. Advisors Work The advisors work will involve an average of 12 to 15 hours each week. In return for this, he re ceives remission of fees for room and board. Plans call for resident advisors to be from every school. In this way, Prof. Guthrie said, the ad visors will be able to answer ques tions of the men, or refer them to other advisors who will be able to answer them. The advisor is not expected to take over the role of the academic advisor, but to supplement activities in which the academic advisor is unable to work. The advisors will work in close harmony with various stu dent groups like the AIM and Nit tany, Pollock, and West Dorm Councils. The advisors will look $o these groups for suggestions. Graduates Only In order to be eligible as an ad visor, the applicant must be in the graduate school. However, no graduate assistant or half time ap pointees will be considered. Prof. Guthrie said that is the /‘the graduate school’s policy to aid in employing as many graduate stu dents as possible. It is felt,” he continued, “that a graduate stu dent engaged in teaching or re search would have too much re sponsibility and this would inter fere with his doing a good job.’ In social and sports activities advisors will help in student ac tivities but he will not be the di rector of these activities. There will be one advisor for approximately every 90 men. Pre viously, the resident advisors had about 175 men under their super vision. LaVie Honors Ex-Coach Higgins This year’s LaVie, the 1950 Col lege yearbook, is dedicated to Bob Higgins, football coach here from 1939 until 1949. Ramon S. Saul, yearbook edi tor, announced yesterday that the dedication was made “in rec ognition of his contributions _ to the College and to football, first as an All-American player, and later as coach.” The dedication says in part: “The resignation of ‘the Hig’ as head grid coach on 'March 12, 1949, drew the curtain of a col legiate career which spanned 35 years. During that time he star red in the end position of the 1914, 1915 and 1919 varsity elev ens, gaining All-American hon ors his last year.” It goes on to recount his years of coaching at West Virginia Wesleyan and Washington Uni versities, and his appointment as assistant coach under Hugo Bez dek at the College in 1928. He became head coach in 1930. Higgins is widely-known for the Penn State team that in 1947 won the Lambert trophy and played in the Cotton Bowl on January 1, 1948. 1 Skull and Bones Sixth and seventh semester men who wish to be considered for membership in Skull and Bones, senior activities honorary, should leave a complete list of their activities at the Student Union desk in Old Main, Mor ton Snitzer, president, said yes terday.

Lorch- (Continued from page one) The committee statement re viewed events which have follow ed the announcement of the dis missal and, in summary, said, “It seems perfectly obvious that the College administration’s position is an evasion—a. poor excuse for the attempt to throttle the free expression of an individual who has displayed great courage and humanity in fighting against the un-American principle of segrega tion and discrimination. Such ac tion can only lend encouragement to the enemies of freedom and equality. “We believe with Dr. Lorch that such action will only result in increased protest against the use of economic sanctions on be half of the anti-Negro practices of the Metropolitan Life Insur ance Co.” Tom Marier, Washington State College’s great third baseman and all Pacific Coast Conference base ball player will be playing pro ball for Terre Haute this season. * PLAYERS PROUDLY PRESENT MAY n. 12. -3 | ROMEO l Auditorium Thurs. .60 And MOTHER'S Fri. $l.OO ” DAY sat. - si.oo I JULIET WEEKEND By WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE 1 m Alpha Phi Omega Initiates 37; Mew Officers Are Installed Thirty-seven pledges were initiated and new officers were in stalled at the meeting of th Alpha Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, April 24.
