New Approaches To Coed Rules For a long time women's rights have been of great importance to crusaders in America. Grad ually, greater equality of rights between the sexes has emerged. In the midst of all this progress, a dual sys tem of social controls operates at Penn State. Students are aware of the great freedom en joyed by male 'students, ordinarily limited only by the general rules set by society. Coeds have a rougher time of it. These are College limita tions on their freedom in evening hours, con cerning their plans for travel away from State College, on the nature of their dating, and con cerning other phases of coed life. THESE RULES, of course, are aimed at pre• venting practices upon which society generally frowns and/or places restrictions. But it seems that some of the regulations are not necessarily conducive to- development of the individual coed's sense of responsibility to her friends and to society. In one of his later works, Mark Twain told of how temptation got the better of the people of a town named Hadleyburg. Previously the people had not been tested by temptation and, consequently, were not prepared to cope with it. It would seem wise to let individuals in this case, coeds face un to social problems and handle them as socially responsible mem bers of society. For example, women students might be per mitted full freedom in traveling between State College and other points. There would be no spe cific times for departure and return. Coeds would be accepted as socially responsible indi viduals. LET THE EXAMPLE stand only as an illus tration of the approach that could be taken, not necessarily as a needed change. At *the same time, let us give more attention to this phase of college life, one which people generally ignore or decide is all right as is. One individual is incapable of determining the best approach to this problem. But a group of people, perhaps surveying the issue through use of a colloquy or through inspection of other progressive colleges' methods, could produce a fresh, up-to-date approach whereby the coed would be given greater social free dom and, yet, whereby she would receive guidance in adhering to social standards. John Ashbrook Newspaper Thefts Acts of dishonesty are always to be deplored, but they are particularly distasteful when they involve students who, supposedly at least, should be above dishonesty. In the past two weeks, there has been an outbreak of such dishonesty involving theft of newspapers and money from the stands oper ated by the Student News agency. Allan Reece, head of student employment; estimates the loss at about $3 per day quite a considerable loss when one realizes that students operating the news agency make only a small margin of profit. Last semester the thefts of papers were neg ligible, but this semester they have increased greatly, especially in the West dorm area. Distribution of the newspapers is placed on an honor basisi— papers are set out on a stand and buyers leave money on the stand when they nick up their papers. But such a system cannot operate when some take papers with out paying their money, and others steal the cash honest purchasers have paid out. Even though this sort of theft is petty, there is no excuse for it. If those taking the money and newspapers pretend to be college-level stu dents, they will put an end to it immediately. Two Top Coaches Penn State students have an opportunity to night to join in honoring two of the top athletic coaches in the country. The special interest in the event is that both men are Nittany Lion coaches. Bill Jeffrey and Charlie Speidel have for 25 years kept the College in the national spot light by consistently developing outstanding athletic teams. Few men can match their rec ords. When the Blue Key hat society presents them with silver table bowls tonight at 6:45 o'clock, the student body can add to the honors by show 7 ing its appreciation for two lifetimes of fine service in the field of athletics, THE •DAILY' COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Owen E. Landon Business Mgr. Bud Fenton Healthy Stimulation From LA Lectures Although it is sponsored by the Liberal Arts school, the Liberal Arts lecture series should have a wide appeal to students of all schools who are interested in the social, political, and economic problems which involve all of us. The series, which gets underway Tuesday evening, will bring three visiting lecturers to the cam pus this year and will open with a lecture by a widely-traveled member of the Penn State fac ulty. THE INSTITUTION of visiting lecturers; we feel, can be valuable not only as a supplement to classroom work, but also insofar as it serves, to broaden interest in social subjects affecting all students and enticing students to think on these subjects. Visiting lecturers can bring fresh viewpoints to the campus and provide a healthy .stimulation of student thought. It is true that social affairs and extra-cur ricular activities are fundamental in a well rounded educational institution. Yet, the main purpose of a college remains the intellectual stimulation of students, and it would be fool hardy to confine this purpose to the Classroom alone. Such extra-curricular stimulation not a required part of any subject-matter, yet freely available• to all those who are interested —is provided by the LA series. Lectures are followed by discussion periods which enable the student to obtain answers and viewpoints on particular phases of the lecture subject which interest him. Speakers in this year's series are William B. Edgerton, asistant professor of Russian at the College, who will discuss his recent trip to Yugo-. slavia; Dr. Ernest J. Simmons, of the Russian institute at Columbia university; Dr. Robert E. Cushman, head of the Political Science de partment at Cornell and leading authority on American constitutional development; an d Patrick M. Malin, executive-director of the American Civil Liberties union. Because only a small amount of money is available to sponsor the series, speakers are sought who, rather than monetary gain, are interested in getting ideas across to an audience of students. Speakers are chosen, not for their ability to entrance an audience, but rather for what they can contribute to an audience. Gazette . . .

The question involves the draft and more particularly what's the Army like? . WE DO NOT present• ourselves as military experts or analysts, a la Hanson. W. Baldwin of the New York Times, but we have looked into the matter. Our research reveals some disturbing factors. Leaving Penn State to enter the service doesn't mean long lines have been left behind. At the head of certain lines in the Army instead of a form to be filled in triplicate stands a medic, armed with a needle., He is there to administer, "shots," and not of the Calvert tvoe. With the dashing skill of an Errol Flynn, he plunges the nee dle into his tender victim. Though rumor has it that the hypodermic needle is propellor-like or cork screw in shape, our research in the matter proves that to be false. ANOTHER ASPECT of college life which is a part of the Army is the hatman. He is called cor poral or sergeant. Freshmen are known as. recruits. Though the semantics differ, much of campus life is repro duced in the Army. For exam ple, a dining hall becomes a mess hall, dormitories are bar racks, and women are scarce— especially at, bases in Alaska, Greenland, an d Christmas is land. The latter is a treeless Hair's Good News By. HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE A§seciated Press Science Editor NEW-YORK, Feb. 22 (VP)—A new hormone has grown hair on two men wh6 had been bald for five years, it was reported here today. Starting five weeks ago, the hormone was rubbed on in a cream, daily for several days and then intermittently, Today, it was said, each man has hair about an inch long on the bald area—not fuzz but ap parently normal hair—with a total of about 20,000 hairs on each head and signs that more may come. This count is about one-sixth .of the normal amount for an average young man. The' report on the hormone's work was made at a news confer ence by Albert Roberts, president of th United Research laborator ies,. Philadelphia. An earlier report was made in Philadelphia about two months •ago, telling of the discovery of the new hOrmone and effects on white rats (wistar strain). Roberts said today that two other research institutions are ex perimenting with the hormone on humans. He said these other ex -periments are favorable but did not further identify them. The researcher reported that he. dikovered the hornione while ex- SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1:',51 By Bibler ck teeth, smarter?" hunk of coral located in the Hawaiian area. Hell week isn't confined to few nights. Sometimes recruits and the hatmen, it ,cluding those who have gold and silver orna ments pinned to their uniforms, participate in maneuvers, These extended hell weeks include 25- mile marches, sleeping outside for weeks, and battling mythical enemy forces. In the Army final exams are serious business. Presently, the class of '5O of the U. S. Army is engaged in taking just such an examination. It's for the course —Police Action in Korea.

Acth is one of the sensational hormones for rheumatic arthritis and numerous other diseases. It comes from the pituitary gland, a little round or gan in the brains of humans and animals. Roberts said the hair-control hormone is closely associated with acth. He named it the derma totrophic hormone. • In humans, he said, both his and other experiments indicate this hormone grows hair, when rubbed on in cream or injected into the veins, only on the head and in the hair follicles that had quit growing hair. He said the experiments have not 'been un 'dertaken to find out whether • the hormone will grow hair if rubbed onto other parls of the body. The two men experimented up on were not identified but Rob erts said they were. about 40 and 45 respectively. Both had brown hair and the new hair is brown. tracting the new hormone; acth.
