PAGE SIX Editorial Opinion Panties and Penalties Repercussions from the attempted panty raid of Wo men's Building Sunday night resulted not only in four men appearing before Tribunal but also a "disciplinary probation" for about 40 women of the residence hall. This mass sentence was imposed by Dean of Women Pearl 0. Weston, who described it as giving them a "sec ond chance" rather than punishing them. Disciplinary probation for women is not entered on their record as it is for men. she said. This is a relatively light penalty for the women who reportedly tried to spur the mob into further action. For at this stage the women inside are just as responsible as are the men outside. Perhaps a few of these coeds offering the most en couragement are just as guilty as their male counterparts and should suffer the same punishment—usually expul sion. Apparently Sunday's demonstration was not enough to quell the male spring fever, for since then talk has been floating of future attempts. • These excitement-seeking coeds should think twice before encouraging the ventures again for, in the'past, such raids have resulted in nothing but personal property and building damage as well as damage to some who call themselves "former students." A Speech, a Look Dr. Paul F. Norton, associate professor of art and architecture, may be making his last public lecture at the University when he speaks at 8 tonight in 121 Sparks. Norton is leaving Penn State at the end of the se mester for the University of Massachusetts (formerly Massachusetts Agricultural). He will be getting a higher salary as a department head and probably more apprecia tion for his talents. A specialist in English and American architecture of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Norton will speak on "Benjamin H. Latrobe—An Essay on Landscape." La trobe, regarded as one of the most, distinguished of early American architects, designed and controlled the con struction of the U.S. Capitol, now the center of contro versy on whether it should be enlarged. Norton, a recipient of a Fuibright Research Fellow ship to England in 1953, Is Just another example of Penn State losing an excellent, hard-working faculty member with a distinguished background. Not only can we promise you an interesting speech by Norton tonight, but also a look at the caliber of men Penn State is losing from its faculty. Pure Politics Probably one of the most neglected areas of many students' education unfortunately is the vital area of preparation for citizenship. And one part of this area sel dom taught is practical politics. The Intercollegiate Conference on Government, which last weekend held its annual state convention, is notable in that it has but one goal—to give students a tool with which they may practice politics in the pure form. We believe ICG is one of the most worthwhile campus activities in that through it, students may learn what they often cannot get through the classroom and should have to properly prepare for post-graduate citizenship.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Letters 2 Students Hit Concert Actions TO THE EDITORS: I have no doubt that I will find many who agree with me when I say that The Pennsylvania State Univer sity Artists Series has proven to be a wonderfully stimulating and worthwhile addition. Last Sunday night, however, I saw, and I have seen during many of the previous concerts, an area which can stand quite a bit of improvement. I am referring to the area of audience etiquette. Using last Sun day night's concert by the Cleve land Orchestra as an example, let me say that I was more than a little disgusted concerning this very point. In the first place, when the con certmaster begins to quiet the or chestra for its final tuning, this is a sign to the audience that it too should quiet down. This did not happen on Sunday night. In the second place, there should be, ordinarily, no applause between movements of any comp osition. This unfortunately did happen on Sunday night Finally, when the conductor is on the podium preparing to begin, there should be no noise at all. This noise was so conspicuous on Sunday night that conductor Szell was forced to turn toward the audience and all but demand si lence. Of course, visiting artists us ually take these audience miscues in stride with nothing more than a knowing, inward smile. How ever, I think it's high time we of the "upper" intelligence level be gin to show our respect for the caliber of artists who are appear ing for us by observing these and other elementary rules of audience curtesy. I realize that many in atten dance at these concerts have no idea what exactly it is that they are applauding, but the least they can do is to applaud and then be quiet at the proper times. —James G. Boyles '59 TO THE EDITOR: At the recent concert, given by the Cleveland Orchestra, under the baton of Mr. George Szell, in Recreation Hall. the orchestra performed a great deal better than the audience.

"Say something nice about Democrats-1 happen to know he flunked 13 known Republicans last term." Washington Beat Congress Records High Death Toll WASHINGTON (IP)—The death of Sen. W. Kerr Scott of North Carolina is a grim reminder that, when it comes to dying•on the job, few lines of work take as high a toll as Congress. • When Scott died of a heart attack last week in Burlington, N.C., he became the 14th victim in the 85th Con gress. Three senators and 11 representatives have died in the months it has been in business, ,If this seems high—and it is —it still isn't far off the con gressional pace. "Roll Call," a weekly news paper that concerns itself ex clusively with the doings on Capitol' Hill, has checked on the vital statistics for the past 15 years. It found congressmen dies'off at the rate of one every six weeks. . Yet this rate— particularly startling 'when you remember there are only 98 senators and 435 representatives —is mis leading, , Most businesses have a com pulsory retirement age, and even executives rarely are al lowed to stay on past 70. But a congressman can stay indefinitely, always assuming the voters are willing. And since the seniority sys tem gives the powerful com mittee chairmanships to those who have been here longest, the temptation to serve just one more term is tremendous. Many seem intent on match ing the record of John Quincy Adams. Most presidents seem a bit at loose ends after they get out of office, but not Ad ams.
