GAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Doors Closed to Coeds Eighteen fraternlties were Ibted in yesterday morn ing's C'iflegtan as approved for the housing of imports th:i Yet while innumerable imports will enjoy fraternity hospitality for the semester's first "big weekend," this hospitality will be available to no Penn State coed. The only reason for this policy, Dean of Women Pearl Weston told The Colleg:an yesterday, is that fraterni tw; probably would be swamped for so many requests fo:- ‘...eekend housing of coeds that they could not provide auequateiy for imports or fairly for coeds. Someday, she said, when fraterniucs have larger hour -,e), pernaps they will be able to open their doors to coed, o•;ernight on special occasions. A careful study of the problems involved might indi cate an arrangement whereby fraternities could host both imports and coeds for big weekends now. Perhaps an arrangement could be worked out whereby imports would get first preference and coeds could fill up any vacant spaces in the order of their dates' fraternity seniority. In any case, the Interfraternitv Council and the Women's Student Government Association might study a plan whereby coeds could enjoy the same "big weekend" hospitality now provided imports. Lifting the Limits All-Univercity Cabinet has lifted the campaign spend ing limits from political parties. This long•overdue action not only will enable the parties to stage campaigns on a more realistic basis, but it will help to provide for the extensive campaigns that will be necessary under a revised student government. The unrealistically low debt limits have long been a ti.orn in the side of the student political system. They have not allowed the parties to conduct campaigns large enough to attract the attention of enough students in this, the 11th-largest university in the nation. And they have contributed to the delinquency of party chairmen, who have resorted to double-billing and other under-the-table methods to get around the limits. It should not be understood, however. that the parties will spend ridiculously large amounts of money on future campaigns, nor that a candidate will be able to buy his way into office. For Cabinet also provided that total amounts of cam paign expenditures be reported and that the parties be limited in their spending by the amounts in their treasur ies, thus eliminating another old curse of Penn State politics, the dolitical bad debt.

PENNSYLVANIA Interpreting Dulles' Illness Reaps Harvest Of Kind Words By J. M. ROBERTS Assoctated Prep New, Analyst Secretary of State John Foster Dulles is reaping from his illness a harvest of kind words to which he is certainly not accustomed. Working in a field which very largely involves the future, about which anyone can have an opin ion but no one can be positive, nearly all American secretaries of state have to toughen them selves for widespread criticism. Working in times of crisis such as have existed ,since World War IL few secretaries have been so wide open to this phenomenon as Dynes and Dean Acheson. Yet both are among the best qualified men who ever held the office. The European press has been the source of some of the bit terest criticism of Dulles. Yet now when the chips are down, and the dangers of losing his leadership during the Berlin crisis are openly recognized, the expressions of good will are almost unanimous. Dulles has irritated Europeans in various w;tys. Since the war the good will of the American secretary of state has become a necessity to them. That in itself is irritating. Dulles in some cases has been too tough for them. He has used American economic and political power to slug them into action when they were dilatory, as when he threatened nolicy "reapprais al" while the Allies dallied over bringing Germany into the West ern defense picture. In personal conversation Dulles reveals a slogan which he does not voice soecifically. He wants to be right within the moral principles by which he was raised, but realizes he must also work within the bounds of expediency. This mixing of morality and business is sometimes disconcert ing to European diplomats. It knocked them off their Pins, and helood knock Anthony Eden out of office, during the Suez crisis. They may not like him, but they don't want to lose him. And they are made wary of their own dislike by the fact that he is most unpopular in the seat of their worst enemies, the Kremlin.

TODAY UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL Little Man on Campus by Dkk s "But he told ME It would leave a scars" et cetera McgazineSucceeds In Many Ways The artwork in Circa—student literary magazine which goes on sale for 25 cents Monday and a piece by Nick Kolumban make the periodical a fulfillment of the promise displayed in the first Circa. Mr. Kolumban's "Poetry in Prose" is a remarkably good piece. It is a succession of beautiful images, good meta phor and imaginative personi fication For example, the lines: "Sud denly the sky grows gloomy. The wind arranges the clouds which he collected above the sea; the trees suspect some thing unusual. The moon turns pale and escapes into the dark ness. The clouds imprison the stars, the only jewels of the night. The storm arrives." "Poetry in Prose" is full of such truly artistic pictures. An other example is Kolumban's dislike for the daytime: "I hate the daytime. The - sun is too bright, raw and curious; he is always after me and glues an awk ward shadow to my feet. He is impolite t o o, because he never, asks if I want warmness or not; he just takes my shirt off. I cannon understand him: he is a FINEMAN monotonous worker, giving light and heat." Charles Antalosky's story, "Carnival," the last in the little book, is a successful piece. It is more poetry than fiction, since the two characters are not really characters at all. They are not particularized, but general. Which is appro priate, since the piece is a por trayal not of this couple's love less love but of all such un fortunate cases. The theme, loveless love, is of the kind of male-female experience which deludes and then disappoints the spirit. all handled well by Mr. Antalosky. These instances of excellence are fortunate, since the rest of the magazines' fiction is some thing of a letdown. '-'Not Quite Saturday"—the lead story by Matthew Robin son—displays a talent for writ- SATURDAY, MARCH 14. 1959 ,by Dave Fineman ing and a talent for story-tell ing. But not a talent for creat ing a convincing and artistic piece of fiction. There are two characters in Robinson's story —Musty Machelor and God, the beginnings of what could be a good piece. But Musty's problem—that of an honest guilt feeling, which could have been but was not at all de veloped—soon becomes mud dled in a succession of coinci dences. which are jarring and unsatisfactory. He suddenly discovers he won't starve after all because he finds a can of water and a can of Spam on his liferaft (yea): but a big wave knocks the can of water out of his hands (boo): but he opens the can of Spam and it looks de licious (yea); but he discovers it's Friday and he can't eat meat on Friday (boo): but he's so hungry that he eats it any way (yea): but he's punished through God's wrath in the form of a giant wave that comes along just at the right moment; the end of the story, and throws Musty into the sea (boo hoo). It's the kind of story that when professionalized could easily fit into Playboy or one of its imitators. But not the kind to be included in a col lege LITERARY magazine. The magazine's cover is a fascinating design which de fies attempts to guess how it was made. "It was made with a potato," according to Circa Editor Ruth Billig. She ex plained that the artist used a cut-open potato like a wood block, pressing the potato's de sign onto paper which was later photographed. An especially good charcoal and ink drawing faces page 13—a startling black effect on a yellow background. Other ex cellent drawings face pages 26 and 30. As a whole, Circa is a quite creditable piece of work. Con gratulations to Editor Bunt Billig and Art Director Sever A. Toretti. •
