New Seating Plan: An Obvious Necessity When the new Recreation Hall seating plan was enacted by All-University Cabinet last year, there were high hopes the plan would work well. A year's experience has shown it does not. The plan was enacted last year to be in oper ation at all indoor athletic events. Its purpose Was. to allow the sale of seats to non-students who for many years had not been admitted to Rec Hall events: Any discussion of Rec Hall seating plans must proceed from the premise that it is desirable to provide some seats for non-students. That. is the premise here, and there will be no attempt to background the arguments. Under the present seating plan, early student ticket exchanges are designed to indicate how many students would attend an event. How ever, early , exchanges cannot do so because they continue until game time. Thus, the early ex change gives only a vague—a very vague—in dication. The idea behind the plan is to place on sale the difference between the number of student tickets exchanged and the capacity of Rec Hall. But students have paid' for their athletic books, and thus must be permitted admission until game time. Under these circumstances, the number of tickets to be placed on public sale cannot be determined ahead of time. As a re sult, the Athletic Association has been selling non-student tickets to all corners. This, con ceivably, could result in a terribly crowded Rec Hall—just the opposite of the present condition of what is desired. A corrective for the present situation may be easily found. All-University Cabinet tonight will hear a request to amend the present system to provide one of more convenience to the stu dent. The solution is simple: I. Eliminate the ticket exchange plan under Answered Request The Dean of Women's office has shown by its' approval of extended freshman hours that it is willing to consider and grant reasonable requests arising from women students. After adoption by Freshman Council, the recommendation that freshman women receive an 11 o'clock and a one o'clock permission on Friday and Saturday night was approved by the Dean of Women's office. Freshman women •at present have a 10 o'clock and a one o'clock permission on weekends. As a result of discontent expressed by fresh man women, an investigation of the situation was begun. A-- survey showed that freshman women in many other colleges and universities have more lenient weekend hours. Freshman women will be permitted in fra ternity houses when the chaperoned dating policy goes into efefct in September. Therefore there is no longer reason for reluctance in grant ing later hours on the basis that freshman wom en are not allowed in fraternity: houses. - _ Since the problem was approached in a sen sible and reasonable manner, the Dean of Wom en's office responded in a similar way by ap proving the plan. Approval of the hours change illustrates the error of those who repeatedly say,, without justi fication, that this office is silent to student re quests. On Monuments The artistic bareness of our campus has been a subject of talk among the artistically minded of Penn State alumni for some time, but the lack seems to be treated like • the weather— everyone talks about it, but that's all. A few exceptions to the general rule may. be cited, however, and one is certainly the Class of 1909. Recently, this class announced it would erect a bronze tablet commemorating General James A. Beaver, former president of the Uni versity Board of Trustees and governor of the state. The tablet itself is to be placed inside the main gate of Beaver Field, and will be mounted on a large block of sandstone. The tablet will have a basrelief portrait of Beaver, and an in scription telling of his services to the University. It is too bad that our campus has as little statuary as it does. Repeated emphasis on utili tarianism has created a campus practically bar ren of objects of art. In fact, campus atmosphere approaches that of a small town with rather, large buildings. Possibly the future will bring better returns— and we may yet point with pride to more than a lion and a stone spike A man must not swallow more beliefs than he can digest.—Havelock Ellis ai m Batty entieglan Seevaisimatt se' TM MIRE 8.,&.14CM. est.

Call upon the Athletic Association presi dent and the dean of the College of Physical Education and Athletics to jointly , set the num ber of non-student general admission tickets to be sold at each event. 3. Set the base number for non-student tickets as a variable of 300. The new plan would eliminate the necessity of • ticket exchanges and would give students a voice in determining the number of non-student tickets to be sold. Its drawback would be the possibility of an overcrowded Rec Hall, but that is a slight problem. Figures from the past indoor season show that only twice in 12 events did student attendance warrant a lesser number of non-student seats than 300. .In those events, well over 450 non student seats were occupied anyway. A variable of 300, then, could curb an excess ,of non-student seats. The variable could be determined on the basis of past experience with attendance. This type of determination, after a few years, would prob ably be as good as or better than the present system of ticket exchange. The old plan, it is obvious. should be amended. A variable of 300 seats, to be set by the AA president and the College of Physical Educa tion and Athletics dean, is one way to do it. And from all indications to date, it may be the best. Safety Valve-- Architectural Style TO THE EDITOR: The editorial "The New Chapel: Picking a Style" (in the April 23 issue of the Daily Collegian) states that the real prob lem is lack of a consistent architectural style in University buildings. We believe this is no problem in connection with the proposed All- Faith Chapel—it is a cold, hard fact. Instead of trying to establish a consistent architectural style based on archaic formulae, we should today base architecture on the prin ciples of contemporary design, which in reality is no style at all, but an expression of a way of life. Contemporary design is based - on function, form, and use of present-day materials to evolve a work . . . which fits its needs and fits into present day living. Since contemporary design is in itself not. a style, there seems to be no reason why in the future a new style will be evolved nor why there, should be .a return to revival styles as there has in the past . . . Therefore it seems reasonable that we should follow contemporary approach to design, in es tablishing a pattern of architecture for the Uni versity which will remain 'contemporary. • —George H.

ROBERTS` Associated Press News 'Analyst The world has had its first•gliMpse of Red China as a Participant in world councils and the view is. Sordething-leSs than startling. . Chou En-lai, second only to Mao Tse-turig in the Peiping heir archy, made sounds very much like• those- Jo 'which the world has become accustomed to from Russia's 'European satellite representa tives. in the United Nations. Chou has taken a digest of Mos cow's anti-American propaganda las his thesiS at Geneva. He wants the Western powers to close their bases and remove their troops from. all Asia—Asia for, the Asiatics,. an old slogan on which the Reds have capi talized since World War 11,. He' styles' his own country a member of a "Big Five" and de mands an end of the European Defense Movement and rearma ment, of Germany and Japan. He's for the same percentage cuts in arms that Molotov suggested. All of Molotov's maneuvering to get Peiping's representatives into some big world forum boils down 'merely to the addition of a new .voice saying the, same' old things for him. • The. only bright spot devel oped at Geneva so, far has been Molotov's acceptance of French Foreign Minister Bidault's plea for a conferenbe to do something; about, arranging for evacuation of • wounded from Dien Bien Phu, the gradually restricted en clave in ' northern Indo6hina where F.'rench.Union forces have been holding out so gallantly against Communist wave • as saults.. MolOtbv. realized, of course, what: Chinese and Vietminh lead ers woul driot recognize, that .13i dault, could make the situation of the wounded,a 'powerful issue.in Western minds, offsetting ny propaganda gains for which the. Redt might hope at the confer ence. ' The rejection :by Secretary Dulles. "of. the North Korean - pro posal for a rigged election on re unification, like the proposal it self,. was a' foregone conclusion. Aboi# the only thing the confer ende - could do about Korea was to agree on how to disagree. Dulles' description of the fu tility of trying to deal with the Communists, however, came as some surprise. It sounded much like a. lecture to America's own Allies on the danger of dragging their feet in such things as EDC and a Pacific pact.
