PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion HUB Lounge for TIM? Cabinet's Right to Decide The Town Independent Men Council will ask All- University Cabinet tonight for a TIM Lounge in an expanded lletzel Union Building. The iequest will he taken to Cabinet by Association of Independent Men President Edward Frymoyer. We feel Cabinet should do everything in its power to obtain a lounge in the HUB for the town independent men for four reasons. Fir:t, no one can deny that the town independent men should have a meeting place of their own, some social tie with the University that is not refused fraternity men or men who live in residence halls. Second, the' HUB is the ideal place for such a town independent men's center. Here are located most of the campus' recreational facilities—Lion's Den, ballroom, game room and card room. Not only that, and this is im portant, many of the town men eat lunch and dinner in the Terrace Room and a lounge nearby would then cer tainly be used a great deal. Il is almost out of the question to consider building a TIM headquarters in town because of the prohibitive expense. Granted, it has been said that if the town men cared enough they could raise the money for such a project. But how can we expect this one-third, of the stu dent body to care enough when they have nothing to hold them together, neither the brothership of a fraternity house nor the friendship of a residence hall? The strongest male groups on campus are the fra ternities; next, the residence halls groups. We feel it is logical to conclude that interest and strength are pro portionate to residence bonds. While it is not the only factor, certainly the bonds of friendship and the feeling of belonging are a necessity for strength. And a TIM lounge in one of the residence halls—North Halls has been a suggestion . —is impractical, since few town men would ever venture out to the fringes of the campus, Third, there is no reason to stubbornly hold that the HUB is unavailable because it is a general student build irig. Both the Camera Club and the Model Railroad Club have rooms in the HUB, and many organizations—Student Government Association, AIM, Leonides, Traffic Court and others—have offices in the HUB. Fourth, it is certainly within Cabinet's power as the representative group of all students to decide how the student union will be used. If Cabinet feels TIM should have a lounge, and it feels the HUB is the ideal place for it, then Cabinet has the right and should have the courage to decide that TIM should have its lounge included In the expansion recommendations. It was Cabinet that asked for the HUB some years ago, and it should be Cabinet now that leads the fight for a center for the 4000 town independent men. Where's the Class of '6l?

FRANK VOJTASEK Business Manager 7 0 , , THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Letters Reader Backs TIM Lounge TO THE EDITOR: I was quite impressed by the amount of in formation The Daily Collegian contained Saturday about Uni versity expansion. One article, "Students Can Help Develop ment," brought out the fact that students should better fend for themselves, bear changes and novelties in methods of teaching, but should not ask for items of convenience. I feel that there should be con veniences for students since they are the largest and most import- ant group on campus. If students cannot ask for better conditions, who is going to take their part? Secondly, I believe that now is the time for students to present their ideas. If they don't do so now, it will be too late when the University has completed its program. I know of one group that has realized this—the Town Inde pendent Men Council. It certainly is an injustice to TlM—one-third of the student body—not to have a place to congregate when the other two thirds does. This action would not set a new precedent because groups smaller than TIM have a room of their own in the HUB.

Many Town Independent Men have no facilities to entertain their parents or dates. Perhaps you have seen or heard the slogan "Who are the forgotten 4000?" They are sure ly the Town Independent Men. But they needn't be. All they have to do is attend the Cab inet meeting tonight to voice their opinion. Don't give up the fight for your lounge.

So what happened? The Cabi net, led by our beloved All-Uni versity executives, proceded to vote down the measure, our All- U President breaking an 11-11 tie the wrong way! For the 12 "nays," I have a few words; First of all, do you realize the immense potential value of this lounge? It would finally give us forgotten 4000 a place we could call our own, a place where • we could meet, where we could take our dates after a weekend show, serve re freshments, dance, or just relax and feel at home. Why, then, won't Cabinet at least give us a chance by recom mending this lounge to the Board of Trustees, and letting the board make the final deci sion? I do hope these 12 Cabinet members will probe their minds before tonight's meeting, and that this meeting will demon- Weekly Crossword Puzzle ACROSS I Attire. 5 Watch holder. 10 Earth used in pottery. 14 Medicinal herb. 15 Mythical weeper. 16 Zeus' sister. 17 Prospective jurors: 3 words. 20 New •Mexico's • capital. 21 Caribibean play • ground. 22 Tendency. 23 Shopper's find. 24 Roadside stop. overs. 26 Maughames • middle name. 30 Wings. 31 Senator from Wisconsin. 32 Wrath. 33 Animal snouts. 34 Concern of Sntokey, the bear. 35 Miss Lupino et al. 36 Relative of at doll. 37 Predecessors of tractors. 33 Abide. 39 A goal urged by some atomic scientists: 2 words.

We believe that the voice of the present political parties on campus is entirely superfluous to that of other student groups, such as the student councils. Of course it would be both wrong and impossible to forbid any type of political activity on cam pus as a remedial measure—it is feasible, however, for the ad ministration to deny any use of the University's facilities for political purposes, perhaps forc ing the parties to hold their clique meetings on some frater nity's front lawn. Is the present method of se lecting student representatives fair, and more important, does it ensure conscientious office-hold ers, capable, by virtue of their ideas an d position, of doing something useful for humanity? We think not. It is our opinion that under the present system, it does not make one whit of difference which party gets elected—can there be a difference when there is nothing to start with? —Michael Dutko '6O —Jerry Eckmah '6O —Fred Shaffer '6O •Letter cut 41 Famous trial of 18 Fence. 1925. 19 V.
