Coats And Ties
We’re not opposed to the idea of men stu
dents’ looking presentable when they eat din
ner, but we have our doubts concerning the
administration’s request that coats and ties be
worn at dinner in the West dorm dining hall.
THE ORIGINAL REQUEST from the dean of
men’s office stated that “all men must. wear
coats and ties.” Although no policy of enforce
ment has been announced, this'certainly did not
sound like a request to students when they first
read it.
We doubt if students of college age desire
to be told what clothes they are supposed to
wear at any given time, and consequently
we doubt that the request will create much
good will with the West dorm men. The dean
of men remarked that such regulations are
in effect in many Penn Slate fraternities.
Perhaps one reason why some of the West
dorm men are independents is that they do
not wish to be told what to wear at dinner.
Not that the request will do any harm for
West dorm men —we doubt if it will cause
anyone to leave the dorm area. But we do have
reservations concerning such regulations that
would cause unnecessary inconvenience for no
important purpose.
WE OBJECT TO such a regulation just as we
would object to a regulation which would re
quest wearing of coats and neckties in all clas
ses. We consider it just as purposeless.
Chance For Jobs
The Saturday night seven-inch snowfall il
lustrated well the inadequacy of the physical
plant department in the face of unusual weath
er conditions.
ACCORDING to George W. Ebert, physical
plant director, sidewalks and streets can be
cleared away in one day when snowfall is not
heavy. But men still were at work on clearing
away snow yesterday and some campus side
walks were becoming caked with hard-packed
snow that was turning to slippery ice.
The task facing the physical plant crews is
apparent when one realizes that those crews
must clear off 15 miles of sidewalk, four miles
of paved roads, over three miles of driveways,
nine miles of farm roads, nine acres of parking
area, four acres of service courts, and one and
one-half acres of terraces. <
We would sugest that plans for temporary
enlargement of these crews be explored so that
future heavy snowfalls could be handled more
rapidly. An obvious proposal would be employ
ment of student workers. According to Ebert,
students were employed for such jobs m the
early 1930’5, but the plan proved unsatisfactory
because of interference from classes which
prevented students from working regularly. Ex
perience has shown, he said, that three or four
students are needed for each job open.
HOWEVER, certain groups on campus are
interested in plans to increase student employ
ment, and it might "be in their interest to in
vestigate plans which could circumvent this dif
ficulty and provide an opening for such jobs.

Positive Action For West Dorms
TO THE EDITOR: The men of the West dorm
area have recently been required to wear coats
and ties to all evening meals. Violators of this
rule will be penalized by the dean of men. The
majority of the students are opposed to this rule
for various reasons among which are: .
1. Limited wardrobe, 2. Inconvenience, 3.
Pointlessness of the rule.
We are told that our student government can
do nothing but advise in a situation such as this
and authorities have shown indifference towards
petitions. We would like to see some positive
action taken on our behalf.

Ed. note The dean of men's office has not
as yet indicated that any penalties have been
arranged.
One Change At A Time
TO THE EDITOR: Just prior to the Christmas
holidays the administration made a request *of
all Penn Staters that they sell Penn State to the
students now in high schools throughout the
state.
Penn State should sell itself to the public by
keeping the present enrollment happy on cam
pus.
The West dorm Christmas presents were; a
new elaborate dining hall appreciated by all; a
chow line, the like of which has hardly ever
been seen even in military circles; the replace
ment of good, adjustable shower nozzles with
antiquated water sqirters; last but not least, the
initiation of customs, trying to reform our dress
ing habits for meals.
Forcing things down the students throats an
tagonizes them so that they can’t appreciate the
nice things about them. ,
My suggestion: One major change at a time.
Treat the present students as though we wanted
them here,
