Suites f t or Sale • • Who'll Buy?
Sororities are all in a furor about who's going
to get suites in the proposed women's dormi
tories
They have been checking their dates of found
ing at the University—because that was sug
gested as a criterion for choosing the groups to
move. They have bean counting their housing
funds to see if they could afford to move into
the tie* suites—because it has been reported
rent *ill be much higher. And they have even
begun to cross their greak fingers—because ru
mor has it straws will he drawn to determine
the lucky ones.
Perhaps these moves suggest ingenuity, but
sororities may as well be twidling their thumbs
for all the good their speculations have done
or will do.
Who finally does occupy the new suites in
September, 1957, when they are scheduled to
be completed, wilt depend upon many things
after many facts have been discussed.
At first glance we have noted disadvantages
as well as advantages of the suites in the new
dormitories.
WHAT'S BAD
1. Greater distance from the main campus.
2. First-floor chapter rooms would require
stricter dress rules. For instance sisters could
not congregate informally in pajamas in the
chapter room while the dormitory is open for
visitors.
ADVANTAGES
1. Larger chapter rooms.
2.Chapter rooms arranged so that men may
be entertained in them.
Besides these good and bad points many fea
tures of the new buildings will not be made
known until sometime in the future. For in
stance the type of telephone accommodations
has not been designated.
We cite all these things to make the sorority
women think, to try to convince them that new
dormitories will not necessarily be more con
venient than the older ones, nor will they
necessarily_be more conducive to suite living.
Connie Mack
All America joins the baseball world today
in mourning. Connie Mack, the game's grand
old man, is dead.
Anyone who ever thrilled to the beauty of a
screaming liner, or admired a sterling catch
while rooting home their team, feels a loss. For
they . know they have lost a man who did much
for them.
Mr. Mack was one of the greatest figures the
world of sport has even known. He devoted
his life to a game he loved.
He was nu rowdy braggart depending on
the sensational for success. He built his great
Philadelphia teams on a basis of quality and
the desire to win. He was the personification
of dignity and Sportsmanship; one of the most
instrumental factors in elevating his beloved
game to the status of our national pastime.
Now death has claimed him, but his accom
plishments and contributions to his game will
live on as long as baseball is played.
We join Americans all over the land today
to pay homage to this great sportsman who
contributed so much to our way of life.

.* . P..§," ,
JACK ALBRECHT, Business Manager
The rumor that the new buildings will rent
for higher prices than the older ones has not
been verified. By 1957, or whenever the build
ings are completed, all dormitory rent may
have been raised—or perhaps lowered.
Sorbrity members will have more than a
_year to think about future housing since it
would not be" reasonable to decide upon the
new dormitory occupants until the new suites
are completed. If the building schedule is not
delayed appreciably, women could tour the
rooms -probably late in the spring of 1957 to
get some idea of the layout. After such a guid
ed" tour sorority representatives could meet
with the deans of women and a representative
from the department of housing to discuss fi
nancial matters, and miscellaneous details.
- Following this Meeting the sorority repre
sentatives could return to their groups, report
the new finding, then vote as to the desirability
of applying for a new-dorm suite.
The request of each sorority should be sub
mitted to an impartial screening board—pos
sibly made up of non-sorority women and,
some criterion for choosing the groups for new
suites should be set up.
Priority, perhaps should be given to the two
sororities that are not presently housed in
suites. Priority, also to the three sororities
housed in Grange, that were the "losers" when
suites were awarded •in Simmons and Mc-
Elwain. Priority might ,even be considered for
groups now living in relatively undesirable
locations, such as ground-floor rooms that have
unattractive outside views.
If these priority groups were granted per
mission to move and there were still vacancies
in the new dormitories, the remaining well
situated sororities might be allowed to draw
straws for the other suites.
Many more details will have to be worked
out before a system is perfected. The main
things to do now are to get more facts, wait
patiently, and be good sports.
Courage Comes Hard
Almost everyone at Penn State can agree
that the bigotry demonstrated by some of the
students of the University of Alabama is de
plorable. That's easy.
Yesterday, the New York Times reported
that Sigma Phi, a national fraternity which
does not have a local chapter, has outlawed
discrimination.
This action could well be adopted by many
Penn State fraternities. But that is not so easy.
It takes onYy intelligence to decry discrimina
tion in Alabama. But it takes courage to work
toward its elimination at Penn State.
Bigotry in fraternities is a complex problem.
While the local chapter may be against dis
crimination, it may be hamstrung by clauses in
national fraternity constitutions to which the
local must conform. Many fraternities have
their roots and the majority of their chapters
in the South; efforts to remove discriminating
clauses may thus meet with strong opposition
from the Southern majorities.
The situations differ from fraternity to fra
ternity. In some, it takes more than a simple
majority to remove the bias provisions.
These problems escape those who merely
holler "Something ought to be done about it!"
But the complexities of the problems offer no
escape for those who would simply shrug their
shoulders.
Knowing the problem exists and refusing to
do anything about it is, in itself, as wrong as
fraternal discrimination.
Can we in good faith and without hyprocrisy
denounce discrimination in Tuscaloosa and ig
nore it when it hits closer to home?

About Magazines
People who produce, publish, or put on something have a
strange way of sitting back, looking at what they've done and
converting all the long hours of work into "memories."
Lantern's memories are now being whittled out of typed-over
ters' bills. But Lantern's memories
el guilty in our contentment and
copy, frayed illustrations and prin
contain little hardship and we fe
financial security.
We have published a literary
magazine the lazy man's way,
by subsidisation from the Lib
eral Arts Student Council and
when we look back on Inkling,
the last literary failure, we feel
almost ashamed.
Inkling always intended to ap
pear twice a year but the first
and only issue of the 1952-53
season came out in May ,with
this discouraging note expressed
by its editor, John Hoerr.
"In the realms of what
_is known
as possibility, a literary magazine
may someday be established at
Penn State. Someday,. because it
certainly isn't now. In fact, it is
only by chance that this issue has
been published. For three years
Inkling editors have had to wage
minor wars in order to gain such
helpful things as money and sup
port, often at the sacrifices of
pride and popularity."
Hoerr wrote this after his pa
trons lost interest, his business
manager threatened to quit and
one of his writers committed
suicide.
The 1951 editor was even more
pessimistic than Hoerr in his for
ward, which could not be called
a forward by definition because it
appeared on the last page of the
issue. Sam Vaughan thanked the
people the magazine came out be
cause of and' alluded to those it
came out in spite of.
In "the last word" he wrote,
"We can't say it's been a pleasure.
It's been a lot of hard work.
There's been a great deal of talk
—much of which has been fruit
less . . . our thanks go also to
those who, in one fashion or an
other, hindered us. We feel certain
that we're a better book for it."
Even though Lantern will
never suffer the financial hard
ships of Inkling, the editorial
staff is still holding its breath
for reader reaction. Lantern will
not fail because of a lack of '
funds, but it will leave the cam:.
pus if it's not wanted. Its subsi
dization "will insure its success
so long as its quality attains the
standards set by the small group
of people who appreciate a stu
dent literary publication."
Such are the memories of Lan
tern.
