(Distributed by Penn State Marketing Club) THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Two Tie For WD Presidency Louis Goslin and Robert Hance tied last night. after four ballots for the presidency of the West Dormitory Council and forced the postponement of elections until next Monday night. ' Goslin and Hance were tied at eight votes each with all 16 mem bers of the council present. The council went on record as favoring the sale of 300 tickets to the public for each indoor sport ing event and recommended that these tickets be dated so that they could be used for only one night. The council voted to set aside $3O for movies to be shown Sun day evenings in 121 Sparks. The movie committee, five dormitory counselors,. will use this fund as backing to rent the first film. Donations will be collected at the times these movies are shown. The committee has figured that a donation of 20 cents per person attending the movies will be suf ficient to cover the costs of rent ing and showing the films, and has suggested that each student attending the show donate that amount. Last year the movies . w er e shoWn weekly under the sponsor ship of the Den of Men's office. The shows were originally for men students, but dates are ad mitted. The council moved to investi gate a revised dating code for the West Dorm area. ThiS code would allow unchaperoned dating in the lounges of Hamilton, Irvin, and McKee Halls. This code was sent to the administration last year and no report has been returned to the council. • 800 Women You're Right! It's A Give-Away. Sirnes Plans Better Personnel Service Expansion and improvement in the techniques of personnel services for men students is the aim of Dr. Frank J. Simes, who be came dean of men Friday. In his new position Simes is responsible for coordinating the problem-counseling of more than 8000 dormitory, fraternity, and town men. He succeeds Dr. Harold K. Wilson, who resigned to devote full time to directing the Division of Intermediate Registration. Simes said he plans particularly to work on a better program of counseling in the dormitories and in town. He said •he hopes 'to achieve this partially through the use of more seniors as counselors. Rapid Rise "The experiment of having six seniors along with 35 graduate counselors has proved very suc cessful," he said. "This is because the seniors appreciate the stu dent's point of view. Being stu dents themselves, the senior coun selors are better able to help their counselees with problems." Simes' rise to his present posi tion has been extremely rapid. He joined the College staff only two years ago as chief adviser to resident students. A year later he was promoted to director of resi dent counseling, and last July, the assistant dean of men. Questioned as to his opinion on the abundance of extra-cur ricular activities at the College, Simes replied, "I think the• num ber is just about right. Most stu dents have worked out a healthy balance between extracurricular activities and studies. Very in frequently do we find a student who has gone overboard for join ing groups." A "routine" day in the Dean of Men's office just doesn't exist, ac cording to Simes. He said the only routine feature is dealing with student probleMs. Change in Age Group Even the problems are not rou tine, he said. They range from extremely personal problems to academic and vocational difficul ties, and class excuses. Men students haven't changed in their personal attitudes over the past several years, in Simes' opinion. He added, though, that a change is taking place in their age group. One or two years ago the average age was younger, because of the departure of , World War II vet erans from the campus, he com mented. With the admission of Korean Wear veterans, the aver age student is older, he said, and problems frequently include fam ily difficulties. Simes himself is a veteran, hav (Continued on page eight) "Relations are simply a tedious lot of people • who haven't the remotest knowledge of how to live nor the smallest instinct about when 'to die."
