There are four factors that influence the mode of dress of Penn
State men, according to the four coeds featured last night on the
WDFM panel discussion, "The Women's Angle."
Members of the panel were Barbara Edwards, fourth semester
home economics major; Eleanor Moran, second semester arts and
letters major; Beverly Marcus,
sixth semester arts and letters
major; and Agnes Doody, gradu
ate student in speech; with John
Price, graduate student in speech,
as moderator.
These four decided that. there
are four factors influencing the
way Penn State men dress, their
curriculum, their semester, whe
ther they are independent or frat
ernity, and if they are conform
ists or non-conformists.
They agreed that men in such
curriculums as liberal arts have a
better chance to appear in slacks
and sports shirts than those in
engineering who have to attend
laboratory classes and go on field
trips. The panel seemed to be di
vided in their opinion that frat
ernity men are better dressers
than independent men, and they
seemed to agree that much of this
had to do with conformity to the
accepted type dress of one frat
ernity or another. The four also
felt that the freshmen don't real
ize what the dress standards are
at Penn State and as they acquire
this knowledge their mode of
dressing improves.
The panel decided that neatness
and cleanliness is al• - rays impor
tant, since it is not what they
spend for clothes, but how they
wear what they have. They ac
cepted the casual mode of dress
for classes, but felt that on the
weekends the men should dress to
suit the occasion.
As a solution to the problem,
the panel decided that the men
should be made aware of the
necessity for changing some of
their dressing habits. In an effort
to do this, they suggested that the
women tell their dates if they ap
prove or diSapprove of his outfit
and offer ideas for changing it.
The four also thought that more
emphasis should be placed on
men's fashions by department
stores and fashion editors.
As a note of consolation to the
men, Miss Doody said that it isn't
always easy to look one's best and
that the men get tired looking at
the coeds in their regular uni
forms, skirts, sweaters or oxford
type shirts.
The group agreed in conclusion
that there -are many men on the
Penn State campus who do dress
neatly and becomingly; but that
there are also some that need to
improve their way of dressing,
especially during the week, since
almost all of them do try to put
their best foot forward on the
weekends.

Katharine Reynolds,. co-chairmen
of the poster committee, have an
nounced.
Lowenstein said the posters
should be built around the 1954
Greek Week theme. "Greeks
through the University" and
should embody the ideas and
ideals behind the event. The pos
ters will be put on display to pub
licize the week, which runs from
March 27 through April 3, a few
days before the week starts.
Trophies will be awarded to the

Lowenstein said. He said three
judges, members of the University
art department who will be named
I,..ter, will select the winner in
each class.
All posters should be entered
in the name of the fraternity or
sorority to which the artist be=

that there is no limit to the num
ber of entries each group may
have. He said they should be
turned in at the Student Union
desk in Old Main by March 20.
Lowenstein said the posters
should be 12 by 16 inches but that
there were no other limitations on
the construction or the materials
that might be used. Also, he said
as many people as wish may work
on a poster; it need not be the
work of an individual.
The theme, "Greeks Through
the University," and the date of
the week, March 27 through April
3, must appear in the poster, he
said. The name of the group en
tering the poster should also ap
pear in it as a means of identifi
cation, he, said, and may be put
into the art work.

WHY SHOULD YOU SEE
'i4;eath o::" a Salesman?
—BECAUSE it may be the greatest play of this generation, and
everyone should expose hiniself to greatness. You
should know the greatest works of your own time!
it is a contemporary tragedy. Tragedy requires ma
turity far its appreciation, and this is the play that
marks America's coming of age . .. the first tragedy
to awake genuine support without the adolescent
attraction of a star. America is coming to see the
play, not the star!
-BECAUSE
you will never have a better opportunity of feeling
the depth and scope of tragedy, than to see DEATH
OF A SALESMAN now! Your children may not fully
understand it, your fathers may find it depressing,
but you are in tune with the center of the play, for
it was . written for you.
-BECAUSE
it can serve you for some measure of yourself! To
some, especially the young, tragedies are merely
sad, without value or hope. There is, of course, pain
in the facing of truth, in self-recognition, and the
other processes of growing up ... but there is a deep
reward as well. Every man sees what he is able to
see. To some the noble sea is merely water; the
Grand Canyon, a hole in the ground; the Rockies, a
pile of useless rocks . . . and tragedies are only
plays with unhappy endings!
