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!

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!

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.
I do not know Dr. Lorch, and-can only judge
him by the nature of the publicity he has
aroused—unpleasant to say the least, harmful
to Penn State, and not reassuring as to his fit-.
ness as a college faculty member,
