PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Indies Take Initiative The Town Independent Men's Council should be congratulated for its work in innovating action permitting women to attend parties in rooming houses. This ruling will put independent men on a somewhat similar level with fraternity men in that they, like fra ternity men, will be able to provide entertainment for women without the former imposed sanctions. It is a step forward in the realistic treatment of women students and also one in recognizing that inde pendents want the social privileges accorded Greeks. Since it is completely new to independent men, the Luling should he carried out with caution and exercised with integrity. In this way, more steps can be taken in the future to provide wide-scale entertainment in the men's living units in downtown areas. The ruling is a start in the right direction. And it calls attention to the fact that independents do want to increase their social sphere to the levels now enjoyed by fraternities. Nittany Referendum Should compensations be given for work that has been done or in the hopes that work will be done after they are given out? This is a major point in the issue over compensations recently voted for Nittany Council and unit hall presidents. The answer should be a flat "no." In the past, and undoubtedly in the future, unit presi dents have done very little. Their office does not require enough time to warrant compensation. It appears that there is much opposition to these com pensations within the area. Since the area residents had little say when the issue was first decided, it should be presented to the entire area for a vote on the issue in a special election.

Your apparent disdain for ac-!, curacy is further demonstrated by the following: The editor's note affixed to my recent letter (Sat.) was guilty of two errors: one a statement which causes your readers to jump to a faulty con clusion, the other a blatant un truth. True, William Crist is a mem ber of the Froth staff, but his tal ents are devoted solely to produc ing the cover and directing the art staff. He has nothing to do with the articles which appear in the magazine. And I-1:arl Bopp—am in no way associated with Froth except one Wednesday each month when I eagerly plunk down my 25 cents in exchange for said publication. There was no motive behind the writing of the letter other than that of making a personal observation on campus publica tions.

Perhaps it would have been better to appoint the women of this area as defenders of the Lion. They at least have the spirit to do the job. gven if overpowered they could at least say they tried. We feel, however, that the fame of Penn State should rest on the beauty of its women and the strength of its men, Letters Spirit, Success Stressed TO THE EDITOR: This is Spir it Week, but what type of spir it 9 Recently, a "Go Ying Yangs" banner was put up in front McElwain Hall by a group of coeds who wanted to promote school spirit, for the game this weekend. This banner was discovered missing this morning, and then found waving in front of one of the Nittany residence halls. Do these boys want to promote school spirit or was this only a clever act to draw attention to their own "achievements." If it is spirit, why don't they get together and erect some thing of their own? We talked to the coordinator of Nittany residence halls and he made the boys return the banner. But does a counselor have to tell a group of men supposedly of a college level to return Divine Origin Explained TO THE EDITOR: The by-lined article, "Shapley Denounces Life's Divine Origin," was a misrepre sentation of the ideas expressed in Shapley's talk Sunday night. At no point in the lecture did Shapley "denounce" anything. To imply that this was the point of ' his entire talk is dishonest. The quote, "There is no need to appeal to supernatural powers of any sort to account for the origin of life," was indeed what Shapley said. Taken against the background of his talk, however, it is not an atheistic statement. Shapley emphasized that today we can trace the evolution of life all the way from the hydrogen atom. Darwinian evolution origi nated at the beginning of proto plasm. At this point, it was necessary to call for a special creation. (This is what most non-fundamentalist churches now accept.) However, according to Shapley, we can now see the transition from the min eral kingdom to "life."

There are still a few days left in which the Orangemen can attack again.) TO THE EDITOR: Our foot ball team has accomplished feats this year thought impos sible. Against Missouri, Army and Illinois our banner has waved on. This Saturday at Beaver Field, we meet perhaps our strongest foe this year, Syra cuse. Once again we must prove to the sports world that at Penn State anything is pos sible. Yes, not only can it be done: it will be done! We will peel the big orange and chase them back to New York like scared jack rabbits. Nothing can stop us now. The Lion smells vic tory. Fight on, STATE; fight on. —Joel Shapiro, '62 something that isn't rightfully theirs? We don't think so. Come on boys. Grow up! —Joanne Rocco, '6l said or implied that the universe was not created by God. Following Shapley's ideas, one must think of creation as taking place when a primeval mass of hydrogen atoms began to expand and form the universe rather than when the first protoplasm appear ed on earth. As he said, this much is fairly well accepted by scientists today. He did not choose to go deeper and discuss the speculation be tween the "continuous creation" theory of Hoyle, etc., and the "instantantous creation" that has been more widely accepted. Life has no less of a divine ori gin if it evolved from a hydrogen atom which was created by a su preme being, than if it were cre ated directly: It is impressive— and ironic—to think that 100 years ago, Darwin was being misrepre sented in the same manner—only the question then was over the origin of man, rather than the origin of protoplasm. —Lawrence Ramspott, Graduate Student DID YOU NOTICE THAT I CUT A LITTLE PIECE OUT OF YOUR BLANKET, LINK?
