PAGE SIX Editorial 0 • inio Patience, Responsibility Penn State welcomed a new dean of women Monday. Dean Dorothy J. Lipp has assumed her duties as dean of women succeeding Dr. Pearl 0. Weston, who served for 17 yea's. We met Dean Lipp Tuesday and were most i►np►essed by her charming personality and forwardness. She ►s young and talented. She is a "professional" dean of women in the fact that she has been fol malty trained for he► vocat►on. it wasn't mote than 24 houts after her arrival that students were already talking, speculating and gossiping about the changes a new and progressive clean should and or would make concerning women's regulations and conduct. It is obvious and readily agreed that women's bouts and restrictions are out-dated and behind the times. But what to do about them is another problem—one which wilt have to be solved by the coeds themselves. Through the Women's Student Government Association, the groundwork for new and more progressive regulations must be laid. Then these suggestions should be taken fo Dean Lipp for her approval, rejection or modification. Dean Lipp is V , and anxious to listen and discuss I%•oinen's problems with not only student leaders but the averay,e coed, with an inteiest in her own ideas and attitude. The burden of lesponsibility for any changes or modnications under Dean Lipp's ieign will have to come ft um the studenk themselves Thk pattern of student le.tdeiship and self-govern ment is most evident in the dean of men's office where the Intel hateinity Council, Association of Independent Men, Student Tribunal and other judicial groups mold the patterns fur Ihe action taken by the office's staff. Under Frank .1. Shines, the office has accepted modern ideas and trenck of mass college education and the theory of self- responsiblllty Self-responsibility was and still is sorely lacking in the dean of women's office concept of their responsibility and duties pertaining to women students. It's time to quit "babying" . the "Rosebuds" and adopt new standards by which to judge the University's coeds. Assistant Dean Mrs. R. Mao Shultz W;33 alone many times in her suggestions for a better code for women. It was under her advisorship that fraternity men were permitted for the first time in all the sorority suites for mixers following the IFC-Panhel- lenic Greek Week exchange dinners. Dean Lipp must be raven time to evaluate the LTni vet it V's situation and adopt recommendations. Coeds must - tiro present regulations w(nt't and can't be pat tont changed °vet night. In fact, it may take a year or longer to change something which has been in use for nearly 30 v eat, Dean of women's job:, at e not easy ones—there's pre.,ure from parents, townspeople, faculty members, cninunistiative officials, dormitory hostesses and students themselves on neatly every topic. Changes will be greeted positively by some and negatively by others. It just de- Mends whose•tees are being stepped on. A "wait-and-see" attitude is a must Mote praises and or criticisms are hurled at the new dean.

SUMMER COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Campus Beat American Girls, Popular Record Hit by Censors We had an interesting evening this week with a good friend just returned from a long stay in Eng land. We were quite shocked to hear several comments like these: "In England the girls don't wear the pants A woman is much more feminine in that country. Amer ican gills are too headstrong, often controlling the purse stungs of the family in the U.S." Do we Americans really want the inde pendent class of women we have cultured, or should we visit the Univeisity Travel Bureau? Speaking of the so-called fairer sex, we read an interesting quip in a work by a former news paper reporter from the Balti more Sun, H L. Mencken. Our contemporary has this to say, "When a woman says she won't, it is a good sign that she will. And when she says she will, it i.; even a better sign " We don't want you to think that this prof is a complete wo man-hater, but there is one more thing along this line we like, again from our friend Mencken. It goes, "Bachelors know more about women than married men. If they didn't they'd be married too." And, "Bachelors have con sciences. Married men ha v e wives." We visited the Alpha Firemen's 4th of July fair last weekend and found several amusing spots along Allen Street. Most enjoyable were the expressions on the faces of the hundreds playing Bingo We weren't so amused after losing on a large number of cards. And there was no consultation when our led and white Oldsmobile was given to someone el.se. There's just no justice' On fraternities ~ ve know of this institution only what our students relate, and we think this incident is one worth passing on The scene was the kitchen of a Penn State fraternity about 10 a.m. one Sunday morning From outside strolled two of the Brothers bedecked in white din ner jackets and black bow ties The cook. with a knowing look in her eve, queried, "Just getting back?" One of the two answered. "No, we were at chinch" The cook questioned, "In tune;"" His reply. "Oh, was formal this morning " Here in America, specifically the U.S., we are proud of our freedoms and lack of censorship. Apparently in neighboring Can ada and across the sea in Eng land the case isn't so. The popu lar record hit. "The Battle of New Orleans," has been banned in its U.S. form in both countries. We guess the °bin :ions refer to such lines as—"We held our fire till we re - aid see their faces (those of the Briti'.h) well; then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave 'em . . . well . . ." This week we had the oppor ',mut': to sit in on a fellow pioi's lecture on the tundra regions of Alaska and Canada. There we picked uo some new and vital in formation. Contrary to popular belief, Eskimos don't live in huts of ice but in comfortable stone houses. Igloos are temporary dwellings used on hunting trips. So, to you, my diligent stu dents, I have this to say—happy nose rubbing! University Participates In Archeological Work The University is participating in a program of archeological field woilc this summer along the Raystown branch of the Juniata River. The project is conducted by the Pennsylvania Historical and Mu seum Commission, which has pro vided a grant of $1750 to support the work. The Social Science Re search Center of the University has also allocated $2OO to the project. _ fll —Prof Wayne JOSEPHINE "Does it hurt when you laugh?" breakfast with bill Flicks, Caves, Parks, Taverns A favorite topic among summer school students and conference participants is "What shall we do tonight or this weekend?" Penn State, you might say, is an isolated part of the state—and about equally distant from Pittsburgh, Phila delphia, Eric or Scranton. Metropolitan al eas always make for good night spots and things to do. State College of lets its scenic beauty and cor dial hospitality, but anyone agree this can become boi ing, in fact mighty boring.
