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. •

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
