Housing Change: Rest Easy
A change in the system of room assignment
has caused some apprehension on the part of
Wc-st Halls residents. However, from what we
can discover these fears are slightly exaggerated.
This year’s system will set back the date
when West Halls residents find out their exact
room assignment for next fall. This has dis
turbed some, since they fear they may find
themselves without a room come July.
This possibility is indeed a long shot, though,
according to the information given us by Fran
cis H. Cordon, room assignment officer.
Upperclassmen who have had the average
and the desire to live in the West Halls have an
excellent chance of being placed just there.
According to Gordon not one in the last three
years, who fills the requirements, has failed to
get a room in West Halls. There are 250 rooms
for upperclassmen available for next year in
West Halls.
By way of explanation, the change in the
room assignment system came as a courtesy to
fraternities. Gordon said that all officials in
volved agreed that matters would be facilitated
if the date for room assignment would be set
back.
In the past complications have arisen from
the fact that fraternity pledges are forced to
break dorm contracts ana many times housing
regulations have made this difficult in view
of the fact that the students had to sign up for
Good Showl
"TO THE EDITOR: After sitting through a per
formance of the Thespian production “Guys and
Dolls,” I have drawn two conclusions; First, the
show was a smash hit. Second, Collegian Theatre
Critic Pat Hunter knows less about reviewing
plays than Napoleon did about playing ping
pong. Since I have had a considerable amount
more newspaper experience than Miss Hunter,
I feel qualified, after reading her review, to
comment on and correct Miss Hunter's opinions
of the play.
Gerald Denisof’s portrayal of Sky Maslerson
was a job of perfection: Sylvia Guycr’s imper
sonation gave me the impression that perhaps
the part of Miss Adelaide was written for her;
Paula Zeller did an unparalleled piece of work
In her performance as the lovable Sarah Brown.
I thoroughly disagree with Miss Hunter’s re
mark that Ted Pauloski, in the role of Nathan
Detroit, gave a weak performance. The charac
ter of Nathan Detroit, as created by the incom
parable Damon Runyon, does not require a great
deal of serious acting. Perhaps Miss Hunter
thinks that the lightheartedness of that par-
Nathan's Defender
TO THE EDITOR: In regards to Pat Hunter’s
critique of “Guys and Dolls” cast in the April
5, 1957 Collegian;
We voice our objections to the unfair criticism
stated in this issue. Miss Hunter do“s not seem
to distinguish sincere acting from parrotting.
Ted Pauloski in the role of Nathan Detroit
was probably one of the finest of the actors and
most likely stole the show. However, Miss Hunt
er had the audacity to state, “the weakest in the
four leading roles was Theodore Pauloski as
Nathan Detroit.”
Does Miss Hunter know what “His interpreta
tion" as the manager of the “oldest established
permanent floating crap game in New York”

the rooms the previous spring. If a pledge or a
man who decided to move downtown at the last
minute wanted to break a dorm contract in the
fall he was faced with the prospect of forfeiting
his room deposit and/or getting someone to fill
the room he would have been occupying (in
the case of Nittany or Pollock rooms.)
Gordon said the July announcement was
something of an approximation. The housing
department will try lo get the final room assign
ments out before July. All the freshman appli
cations are usually in before that time, he said.
The West Halls area is mainly for freshmen—
thus accounting for the relatively small number
of upperclass rooms which are available.
Gordon admitted that the change poses some
what of a problem for the housing department,
but that if it would ease some problems with
breaking dorm contracts, it would be worth
trying.-
He also emphasized the fact that the hous
ing will guarantee every student a room who
wants one next fall. So no one needs be faced
with this unsettling prospect.
Thus it would seem that students who are
worrying about being left holding the bag in
July need not worry. The odds are the best
that they will get what they want in the room
assignment draw.
ticular role makes it weak. Perhaps it does!
But Mr. Pauloski carried his part marvelously
in my estimation and I believe you’ll find my
opinion backed by the audiences who saw the
play.
Benny Southstreet is a typical Runyon figure
with a chronic personality and he was over
characterized by Alfred Klimcke. If Miss Hunter
has read any Damon Runyon at all she will
realize that Mr. Runyon effectively over-empha
sized personality traits and that Mr. Klimcke
did it on stage for the genuineness of the part
"Guys and Dolls" was sensational when you
consider the combined effort put forth by a
group of students you cannot rightfully single
out an individual and say that he (or she) was
weak. Thespians receive only satisfaction for
the time sacrificed, so why cut them up and
discourage them on opening night?
I see Miss Hunter also serves as the Col
legian Feature Editor. I suggest she stick to

should be? It seems to us that his interpreta
tion filled every requirement of an excellent
portrayal of one of Damon Runyon’s most lov
able characters.
From what we have heard from everyone who
saw the show—and we have asked numerous
people—Nathan Detroit overwhelmed the audi
ence and captivated their hearts.
If Miss Hunter wishes to go on criticizing
Thespian productions, we suggest she take a
course in drama.

A Lemon on Returning.
Thoughts while strolling down the Mall:
There’s rumor in the air that the Lemon, a defunct sa
tirical magazine, will make a return to campus—through the
back door ...
Lemon, in its heyday, prin’
and close to home at studern
and townspeople.
. Graham and Sons has been ap
proached about carrying the mag
azine. It refused, according to Ro
bert Graham—one of the “Sons."
This writer was approached
about becoming an anonymous
contributor to the new Lemon.
This writer refused.
When I read an opinionated
magazine article, I like to know
who wrote it. If, for instance,
Fred Rodell wrote it, I know that
Rodell is a skeptic, a Liberal and
a Yale professor.
The new -Lemon, if it makes
its apparance, might seek C. V.
Tummer and Clyde Klutz for
writers.
If the Lemon returns, it might
be wise if it uses the front d00r...

Dr. Eisenhower Saturday night
urged a strong defense of aca
demic freedom against encroach
ments by any level of govern
ment, according to the New York
Times. He spoke at a Johns Hop
kins alumni dinner in New York
City.
It's quite interesting to note
that Dr. Eisenhower has been
lauding.privale institutions and
denouncing encroachments by
any level of government ever
since he left Penn Stale!.
. This writer feels that turning
to the federal government for aid
eventually will be the only ehoice
for colleges. And again, 'unlike
Dr. Eisenhower, this writer does
not feel that federal aid necessar
ily brings federal control.
But, then, Dr. Elsenhower has a
slight bit more pull in the White
