See Editorial On Page Four The President, in announcing that incoming coeds would be assigned to Irvin, Watts, Jordan, and Thompson Halls, emphasized that the plan should be consider ed as an emergency measure and not permanent policy. He said the College would return to its former policy as soon as male enrollment returns to normalcy. "This housing plan," he ex plained, "was thrust upon us by conditions beyond our control. Our responSibilities are such that from the outset we must be sure that our facilities ,will be fully occupied for the duration of the emergency. In that way, and in that way only, can we meet our obligations to the College and to the state." He reiterated that the College would adhere to its established policy of requiring all freshmen to live on campus. As many as possible will be assigned to the West Dorm area, and the others will be assigned to Nittany and Pollock dormitories. Priority System He said a quota of rooms had been reserved in the West Dorm area for upperclassmen, and that these assignments will be made according to a priority system yet to be worked out. He expressed confidence that it would be possible to accommo date all upperclassmen wishing to live in the Nittany-Pollock area. Women were housed in. the Tri-Dorm area during World War 11. With the return of normal peace-time enrollment, the dor mitories were turned over to male housing.

The topic used in the contest was "What steps, if any, should be taken towards forming a new international organization?" Brenner contended that a new organization is not necessary be cause there are already organiza tions existing on three levels: the UN level, the regional agreement level, and the level of unilateral agreement. He said that world leadership from the United States is what is needed to make the existing machinery work at its full po tential. Lewis favored adopting the Hoover-Kennedy plan of defense, which would strengthen the west ern hemisphere into a Gibraltar.
