PAGE TWO
Sexes Join Forces--
Is Battle Finished?
By JACKIE HUDGINS
"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"
Perhaps the battle of the sexes isn't raging now as fiercely as
it has in the past, but women attending colleges and universities all
over the country who have refused to succumb to the superiority
of men, are now considering joining the side of their proverbial
opponents.
The merger would be on the administrative level, however, and
not on the student level.
In about half the colleges and
universities in the country the
Dean of Men and Dean of Wom
en have combined offices and
operate under the common title,
Dean of Students.
Such a merger seems quite
harmless at first glance, but
strangely enough, the opposition
comes from the women.
Deans of Women all over the
'country are in an uproar because
they think they will lose their in
dependence. Once more, they will
have to work for a "man". This
would be true, because in the
large institutions where co m
bined counseling is in effect,
there are many more men en
rolled than women. As in all dem
ocratic societies, the majority
rules—or as the women deans
think, the "superior" sex is back
in the driver's seat.
From the student's viewpoint,
a joint counseling set-up would
be more satisfactory than the seg
regated plan is now. Women do
not always have problems that
have to be heard by another wom
an. But women, now, feel a bit
hesitant about going into Dean
Sime's office if Dean Weston is
at the other end of the hall.
Dean Weston, on the other
hand, might be able to help a
young man with a social or '
en
vironmental difficulty with more
ease than Dean Simes could.
In about five years the Uni
versity might have one Dean of
Student's Office—but to pacify
the anti-progressive element there
probably will have to be segre
gated waiting rooms.
False Fire
Alarm Still
Unsolved
Borough police have uncovered
"no new developments" in the
case of a false alarm which was
turned in to the Alpha Fire Co.
about 1 a.m. yesterday.
The fire was supposed to have
been at Phi Delta Theta, but when
more than 30 firemen arrived at
the scene there was no fire and
no one knew anything about it.
M. A. Seckinger of the borough
police department said last night
he may he able to identify the
guilty party within the next day
or so. He declined to give any
further information.
Borough officials termed the
false alarm a probable April Fool's
joke.
Eugene Lee, president of the
Alpha Fire Co., said last night
that if the guilty party tan be
identified, "every action possible
will be taken to bring the case
to a head."
Lee pointed out that every time
the firemen answer an alarm they
expose themselves to danger ,
which might result in tragedy.
In addition, he said, six pieces
of equipment—a ladder truck and
five pumpers—worth nearly $lOO
thousand were tied up at the
scene.
Lee said the issue would be
brought up before the member
ship of the fire company in the
near future.
O. Edward Pollock, assistant to
the dean of men in charge of
fraternity affairs, reported yes
terday he had received no infor
mation on the matter.
Panofsky
Discusses
Past Errors
By MARMYNN ZABUSKY
Dr. Erwin Panofsky of Prince
ton University, in discussing
"Texts and Pictures: Traffic Ac
cidents on the Roads of Tradi
tion," Thursday night said that in
history error is just as much a
part of life as truth. Dr. Panof
sky's lecture marked the open
ing of the Centennial Year Lec
ture series.
Dr. Panofsky, an eminent art
scholar, showed slides to illus
trate how errors have been com
mitted by artists and writers in
the mistinterpretation of past
writings and illustrations. He gave
many amusing examples of ration
alizations used by artists to jus
tify this misinterpretation.
"When one looks at a work of
art," Dr. Panofsky said, 'it is an
experience. However, we cannot
easily be sure whether or not this
experience we have corresponds
to the experience that the artist
had."
Misinterpretations, Dr. Panof
sky said, result from four dif
ferent spheres: 1. Misunderstand
ing of a text by an artist. This,
for example, could be a misinter
pretation of Greek mythology
shown in the subject matter of
an artist's picture. 2. Misunder
standing of a work of art by a
critic. This can result when a
critic -ends symbolism into the
'AR. , IIc. 3. Misunderstanding of a
'.ore by copyists. 4. A mislead
, teat itself. This might be due

"Never trust a picture, net cc

lation."
Spring Showers
Expected Tonight
The spring rain which was
forecast for last night is expected
to arrive early tonight, according
to officials of the University wea
ther station. Cloudiness is expect
ed for this morning and after
noon.
The speed of the low front,
which will bring the showers, was
misjudged, officials of the station
said.
Tomorrow is forecast to be
cloudy and warm.
Yesterday was the warmest day
of the year as the mercury reached
a shirt-sleeve 70 degrees. The pre
vious high was 68, recorded three
times early last month. Yester
day's low was 45.

Shades of Coaly! Was that the

It was. That was Coaly, mascot

Every year about this time the
pledges of the society get Coaly

In 1951, a new agricultural so

adopted him its mascot.

rite reserved strictly for members
of the society.
Why have the bones of a dead
mule as a mascot? Coaly, prob
ably the very first tradition at
the University, has become the
symbol of "work without glory."
He came to Penn State in 1803
and was used to haul stones to
the campus from a quarry at what
is now College avenue and Pugh
streets. The stones were used in
the construction of the first Old
Main building.
Thirty-six years later the mule
died, and his bones were pre
served for use in the animal hus
bandry laboratory. As students
and faculty looked back on the
animal's service, they began to
give him his deserved position in
the history of the University..
