Editorial Opinion
If in Town Today
Today is Coffee Profits Day for the Larry Sharp
Fund, when local restaurants are contributing the money
they receive from coffee sales to Sharp.
The cause is, of course, a worthy one, and almost all
of the downtown establishments approached have agreed
to participate. But there is one coffee-serving establish
ment conspicuous by its absence horn the drive: the Lion's
Den in the Hetzel Union Building.
The director of the Lion's Den was twice asked by
students to participate, and twice refused. The reason
given was that the Lion's Den is a non-profit organization
and could not afford the loss it would sustain from the
day of profitless coffee sales,
The downtown restaurants, which could have no
responsibility for Larry Sharp's unfortunate accident, are
cooperating with the money-raising drive.
The University, however, does have some sort of
responsibility toward Sharp, but its chief coffee-serving
establishment has said no to the fund.
Students should make tomorrow a banner day for
coffee-drinking at downtown establishments.
Raises, No Matter What
The faculty's going to get some sort of pay raise,
regardless of the drastic appropriations cut the University
may receive from the state k:gislature.
President Eric A. Walker told the University Senate
yesterday that there would be some faculty increases
regardless of the biennial appropriations, although he
couldn't say what the increases would be.
It's heartening to know the faculty will be remem
bered no matter what. Perhaps the most disappointing
aspect of the appropriations cut Gov. Lawrence asked for
the University from the $44 million Walker had request
ed down to $34 million was the possibility that there
would be no more faculty raises for at least two years.
And now Walker has assured the faculty that it won't
be so.
The University needs money for many things, but per
taaps no cause is so deserving as that of faculty raises,
Many members have stayed with the University through
dedication—it's time they received something more than
just thanks.
Crime and Punishment
The following is from a story in yesterday's Daily
Collegian on penalties issued by the Women's Student
Government Association Judicial Board of Review and
Freshman Regulations Board:
The judicial bodies issued 15
blackmarks for unnecessary noise,
six for unmade beds, five for dis
orderly rooms, four for talking
out of residence halls windows,
three for not having linen ready
for changing, two for wearing
khakis in the dining halls and
one for wearing Bermudas in the
lounge.
It is good to know that we have a structure of reg
ulations broad enough to include such major offenses,
and judicial bodies vigilant enough to mete out penalties
to each of the wrongdoers.

Coed Sticks Up
For Home Ec
TO THE EDITOR: Re: Mike Max
well and all the other pretentious
people who have been so eager to
degrade the purpose of the cours
es in the College of Home Eco
nomics.
The major purpose of Home
Economics is the well-being of
families and of society through
constructive family life, and
there is no experience more tell
ing in the life of the nation than
its home life, Everyone knows
that a nation can be only as strong
as its families; morally, and in
-tellectually, physically, and in
creative ability, and that leader
ship is needed among and for
families.
There are people today who
still think the words home eco
nomics and cooking and sewing
are synonomous. Although ability
in cooking and sewing is impor
tant, many of the majors in the.
College of Home Economics place
very little emphasis on these
areas. Students working toward a
degree in this college achieve a
broad general education in sci
ence, art, humanities social sci
ence, and communication, as well
as courses in professional tech
niques through which to serve
families.
Did you realize that the labor
demand greatly exceeds (as much
as five to 10 times) the number
of Home Economics students
available for employment and that
starting salaries are comparable
if not higher than in most similar
areas? In addition. home eco
nomics offers the widest possible
opportunity to prepare for the
most desirable career—that of
homemaking.
Mr. Maxwell mentioned that
most mothers could give you in
formation on homemaking, rais
ing children, sewing, cooking, etc.
Well, since most of the colleges
here at Penn State prepare the
student for a "trade," couldn't
you ask an architect how to build
a house? . . . an accountant how
to manage a business? Maybe you
feel that "experience is the best
teacher." If this is the case, why
are YOU in college?
Many people infer that the
field of home economics lacks
somewhat in academic responsi
bility. I feel that this is due to a
direct result of not realizing the
total program, or rather, selecting
one or two courses as points of
criticism.

On Curing Our
Dollar Dilemma
With the picture looking bleak for President Eric A.
Walker's state aid request for $44 million for the next
biennium, we're offering some suggestions on how to cut
some financial corners.
With these sure-fire ideas, we're sure we can save
money, but we can't vouch for
quality of facilities and instruc
tion if they're carried out.
First, professors could be re
placed by the gifted students
that are causing high school
officials troubles. This way,
the professors
could go out
into industry
making -more
money, an d
the gifted stu
dents would
have some
thing to do.
Think of the
money in sal
aries that
could be sav
ed!
Who said THOMPSON
Walker can't expand the Uni
versity without more money?
He could pitch Army surplus
tents on the lawn in front of
Old Main, rather than building
new dorms.
The tents might foul up
ROTC drills, but we're sure
that the military would be able
to find a new drill order so the
troops wouldn't march through
a row of tents. They could
even drill on the sites of the
new dorms.
Rather than building new
classrooms, off i c i a l s could
hold all-night classes in the
existing buildings. After all,
students seem to enjoy staying

up all night and sleeping all
day.
By issuing snowshoes to stu
dents, money could be saved
that now goes to men employed
to shovel snow. Maybe the
physical plant workers could
be given a deer hunting vaca
tion all year long—without pay,
Tribunal and Judicial could
issue "sweeping" penalties to
naughty students, eliminating
the need for janitors. For every
blackmark a coed receives, she
could be penalized by having-to
clean a window or so, elimin
ating window washers!
By eliminating dorm hostess
es, more money could be saved.
There are probably any num
ber of women who would vol
unteer their services to blink
the lights in the dorm lobbies
at 12.55 a.m. each Sunday
morning.
By making the library into
a student lounge, the adminis
tration wouldn't have to buy
more books. It could order
more newspapers and maga
zines, which are cheaper.
By scheduling more concerts
sponsored by the jazz club—
on the mall— and by encourag
ing more fraternity jam ses
sions, the entire Music Depart•
ment could be eliminated.
As we said, we can't vouch
for the caliber of students
turned out, but who cares—it's
saving us MONEY!
