This is a reasonable request and we call on those who have the information to produce it. * Letter cut —Richard Ball, Paul Gilpin, William Eisenberg, David Richardson, Vat Gallagher EDITOR'S NOTE: In response to this letter, the Board of Control of the Penn State Book Television : Ideas TO THE EDITOR: (Re tilt , front page article in today's (Feb. 22) Cotloitian teoncei ring TV The headline say , ; "Poll Shows TV Liked by St u d e nt,," In the article it t; stated that "In no in , itance did the number of students who en joyed I'V fall below 35 per cent and those who dichkod it, above 513 per cent. How this state ment could possibly support the headline is be)ond me. At be -d the results could point to only one thing -the , 4iidents didn't like TV muNes do my best to stay out of (TV courses) but ati the tuclent population is increasing and physical resources do not always grow in ac cordance. I can see where TV might be the ansixer. However. to force students to take TV courses is 100 per cent wrong. I submit the following (proposals) for what they are worth: 1. Have TV sections and regular sections and allow the student to make his choice at regis tration. 2. If (this is not possible) then make only the elective courses straight TV. 3. Provide a box near the door of the receiv ing room where the students could drop ques tions. At the next session (the professor) could take 10 to 15 minutes to answer them. •Letter cut There Is Community Living TO THE EDITOR: What's this w•e hear? Are the segregated societies on campus finally rea lizing what they are missing? Community living does exist on the campus and is highly success. At 224 East Nittany Avenue there is an or ganization called the College Co-operative So• ciety which is a living proof that it can be done here and now. This is a home where about twenty girls have rooms. and approximately fifty fellows come in to share the work, the food. and the good times. At least our ratio is a little better than the average• We have all the social advantages of any living organization in town without the disadvantages of enforced attendance to meetings or pressurized con formity. In short, the Co-op members differ from the lonely townies and dormitory inhabitants by having a group to feel at home with, and differ Tip Battli CT Magian Sorttanot to THE FREE LANCE. tat. 1887 .V. t 1 / —R.

This central museum idea was presented five or six years ago when the Penn State Room took up just one of the two rooms it now oc cupies and it was ripping at the seams. But since the new wing has been added little at tention has been paid to the expansion idea. As usual the biggest problem is getting a place for the collections, better yet, getting the money to get a place for them. When new classroom buildings are built old and perhaps suitable buildings like Home Ec South and Psychology Annex might be con sidered for housing a museum. Some Senior Class in the future might present its gift to a museum fund. Well find a re:ting place fur Old C,,aley's Exchange. which operates the Used Book Agency, released this statement: "In response to inquiries about the charge fur .se•lling books, we . . want to answer the questions asked of us. . "The 40 cents handling charges for those who use the services of the Used Book Agency are used to defray operating expenses. Those expenses include the cost of printing duplicate receipts, advertising, and wages, the wages making; up the greater portion of expenses. A cashier to hired for the entire operation and students make up the remainder of the work ing force. "Because of improved operations, we have found there is a possibility of lowering this handling charge. In our location at the HUB we are able to afford better control and more efficient operations. "A study is now being made to investigate profit-expense relationships in the Used Book Agency. Once the study is completed and if it proves satisfactory a new policy on handling charges will be set up. "This policy will be announced later in the semester." We Do Teach Teachers TO THE EDITOR: In a recent Collegian edi torial signed by Jackie Hudgins entitled "Why Don't We Teach the Student Teachers?" several good ideas were presented . . . One of the major premises of this editorial is contrary to the facts. It is alleged that the half semester in which secondary majors are on campus is largely a waste of time be cause these students do not have enough to keep them busy. The fact is these students schedule three courses on an intensive basis for a total of eight credits which requires each student to be in class seventeen hours each week. These courses are Ed. 189, Ed. 70, and HI. Ed 303 for five, two and one credits respectively. The primary objective of Ed. 189 is to fill in such gaps as may appear in preparation of our students to teach . .On the recommendation of the State Department of Public 'lnstruction, a course in first aid (HI. Ed. 303 ) was included in the program. This is a standard Red Cross course. It would seem obvious that these course activities would keep students busy at worth while activities. In short, we firmly believe that we do teach teachers. If one additional course, such as History 301 is added to this eight-week block, it is the equivalent of a twenty two credit semester pro gram for one half of a semester. It may be true that a few students do not make the most of their opportunities, but when this happens the responsibility must rest largely on the student. It would be short-sighted -indeed to assume that any program is so good that no changes need be made, yet when one is well informed and full• understands the senior block in sec ondary education, it makes more sense than it may to the casual observer. We in secondary education welcome any suggestions that give promise of improving our program for teachers. We will be glad to consider the incorporation of other intensive content courses in our senior block. However, for the present such courses would be additions rather than replacements ... • Letter Cut even more from the regimented masses of brothers and sisters. • Letter cut Editorials represent the viewpoints of the writers, not necessarily the policy of the paper the student body. or the University. —Jackie Hudgins —James H.

As I was staggering sleepily up the Mall to my nine o'clock class, I overheard two gentlemen behind me talking in very serious tones. They were discussing, of all things, the gentle art of playing pin -ball machines. Now I'm not an eavesdropper by nature, but the trend of the conversation was something like "You're playing all loose until you look up and realize how much score you have, then bingo, you tighten up, the ball goes into the hole, and you blow it." I was confused at first. I thought they might be a couple of basketball players discussing last night's basketball game. But as the conversation pro gressed, to the tune of flashing lights, ringing bells, and scores of several million (which you hardly ever see in a basketball game) it became apparent the topic was pin-ball machines. It's unfortunate I didn't hear any more, but at the head of the Mall we went our separate ways. The last thing I heard was, "Let's go over to the Daily Col legian and get a copy so we can find out what's going on around campus." That, at least, was encourag ing. I didn't know how the anthro pologist would classify this breed, but apparently it has grown rapid ly in number. And not only among college students, mind you, but the general public as well. A re cent business venture in the borough was a veritable mecca for this breed which seems to be addicted to the pinball machine. Packed into a few square feet of floor-space was every type of pinball machine and amusement device known to man. And packed around these de vices, every day, were the fol lowers of the cult, engrossed in the game of man versus machine. I don't know. what happened. but the pin-ball mecca soon went out of business. I'm sure of one thing though—it wasn't because the cult has suddenly become extinct. One of my assistants in charge of pin-ball machine conversations had this to report: Seems she heard two other gentlemen talking as they were leaving the HUB. One said to the other: "How many games you got racked up on the pin -ball ma chine in there? I got 23.' Evidentally, they were keep ing a day-by-day record of the number of free games each had. Wonder what the stakes are for the winner? We hope this alarming growth ceases soon. If it doesn't, pin -ball machines are liable to replace sex and night baseball. FRIDAY.
