She Anonymous Engineer TO THE EDITOR:• Perhaps we have been under an erroneous impression to the effect that Collegian policy has been to cut letters to the •Safety Valve which are over 200 words in length. Does the letter of Thursday, May 18th, .(385 yords in length) submitted by one very misinformed engineering senior indicate that Collegian has relaxed its journalistic policy or is it that this letter reflects Collegian sentiments 'on the subject? As for the author who, wisely, preferred to re main anonymous we suggest that he investigate more fully the facts of the case before arriving at his very naive conclusions. This is not neces sarily a defense of Lorch, but a plea on our part for him to analyse and to explore the cold facts rather than, as he expressed it, to study the rantings. So to you we say, Mr. Engineer, take a little time off to find out what is really happening around you. Find out if your "pinks" are really pink or are they just people who care. Do you propose to stagnate in your own little tower? We hope not! • —Ruth Lcipin ' Betty Phillips Helen Ruby Ed. note The Daily Collegian has .no bind ing rule on the number of words of a letter to the Editor which will be printed. Spacd avail able is usually the most important limitation. The letter referred to, was printed in full be cause we felt that it made some serious charges not only against the Collegian but against others on the campus, and would therefore be of interest. It does not 'necessarily reflect Collegian's opinion. A Vote On the SU Fee TO THE EDITOR: I disapprove of the pas sage of the $l5 assessment for a Student Union by All-College Cabinet last• night. I do not see why juniors and seniors who won't be here to derive benefits from the new project have to pay, while the alumni will be giving on a vol untary basis. Let's assume that having a Student Union Building on campusis important to the students. How are the students who are just about making ends meet now going to pay this additional fee? Cabinet is helping to put a college education out of the reach of those who earnestly desire it. Since it is such an important matter, concern ing the whole student body, I think the question should be put to an All-College vote! —J. "Finnie" Baskin.

A Regrettable Situation TO THE EDITOR: I should like to express my appreciation of the editorial on the Lorch case which appeared in the Tuesday, May 16, tssue of the COLLEGIAN. The plea for recon ciliation is very much to the point. Reconcilia tion presupposes understanding, of which there seems to be little or none. Rather, it would ap pear that, as the editorial pointed out, there has been much- misunderstanding if not misrepre sentation of both facts and attitudes. It is un fortunate and disappointing that the College has refused to disperse the confusion about the rea sons why Dr. Lorch's contract was not renewed after the interview about his activities in Stuy vesant Town. The official statement referred to his shortcomings in the area of "personal quali fications." Does not' the College have a re sponsibility to explain what is meant by this expression? If it feels that it cannot make a more detailed public statement, surely the man in question is entitled to know why he lost his job. The situation is a regrettable one both for the College and for Dr. Lorch. I earnestly hope that it will nit remain so. Unpelasant Publicity • TO THE EDITOR: I heartily want to com= mend the letter "Look before you Leap" in Thursday's issue .of the Daily Collegian.
