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

which students must stand in' line for no reason
at all.
2.. 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.

Interpreting the Nevis
Red.. Chit),.4. :Follo,
USSR':iiatiGeneva----:
By 3. M. 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.

dio station, recently took 'part in
