Editorial Opinion
Compete Integration
Not Best Answer
A new concept in women's dorm living which has
some advantages but also eliminates several good points
of the iiievious system will be initiated next fall with the
integration of freshmen in upperclass residence halls.
Dean of Women Doiotliy J. Lipp who has already
caused sever al of the more out-moded women's regula
tions to be changed, has advanced this idea as another
step toward developing a more mature college woman.
This may be true but we also see several good-points
from the traditional all-frosh dorm being destroyed.
In a college community that quickly becomes apathetic
and complacent, the little strongholds of freshman en
thusiasm are often the last vestiges of school spirit.
Fieshmen scattered randomly throughout the dorms
would encounter mole of a problem making friends with
upperclassmen who have already chosen their closest
associates. It would also be harder for them to become
acquainted with the classmates with whom each girl will
be spending all fora• years.
Far be it from us to oppose progress however, and we
would welcome the maturing advantages of integration.
But we would like to suggest a system which could
moie readily incorporate the advantages of both systems
—complete integration and complete segregation.
One living unit (already designated in other plans
as 25-50 gills) or one floor composed entirely of freshmen
Id be integrated into an upperclass dorm.
This would allow the freshman spirit and enthusiasm
to be maintained, allow the frosh to share their common
mistakes, problems and adjustments and still have a
chance to reap the advantages of integration such as
"learning the ropes," broadening interests, etc.
Freshman and upperclasswomen questioned, though
leaning more toward the old system, pointed out several
valid obsei vations favoring each side and many advocated
a modification of both plans.
Once again this is an illustration of a situation where
student feeling should have been sounded out and it might
have had an important modifying effect on the plan
finally instituted.

Spring Week
Rumors 'Silly'
TO THE EDITOR: Now that
Spring Week is over, the campus
has been filled with many rumors
which are detrimental to both
Spring Week and certain groups
that participated this past week.
I hope that this letter will end
these silly rumors.
One of the most common ru
mors around campus is that one
of the competing groups brought
their float in from another cam
pus.
Though I have no definite proof
that this wasn't the case, I have
talk to personal friends of mine
in this group and from these con
versations, I can only draw the
conclusion that this rumor was
started and circulated by people
jealous of the accused group.
Several rumors around campus
concern the results of Spring
Week. About these, I can speak
with authority. To set the record
straight, there were ten points
separating the first three groups
in the all-around competition,
Theta Delta Chi won the tro
phy with five more points than
the second group. No person or
group has questioned the results
of Spring Week or demanded a
recount of the judges' ballots.
I can only hope that my fellow
students will realize that these
rumors are false and that when
Spring Week comes around next
year, they will enter into the week
to have fun, to create something,
and to enjoy honest competition.

General Chairman,
Spring Week, 1960
Feldstein Notes
Editorial Omission
TO THE EDITOR: I have found
your reports on the recent contro
versy concerning Lion's Paw ex
tremely enjoyable and most in
teresting I hope to read further
of it in the future.
However, in your editorial dat
ed March 4, 1960, you were guilty
of an omission, which I feel sure
was a mere oversight
This concerns my good friend,
John Bott. If John had an op
nortunity to read your comments
I'm certain that at this point he
feels greatly slighted, due to your
omission of the fact that he, too,
was proud to accept his bid to
the Lion's Paw. Any past mem
ber would be chagrined to be left
off the rolls of this fine organiza
tion.
Malign them, but please don't
forget them.

All-University President, '59

LP Feud Erups Again
From the Anti-LP Side
TO THE EDITOR: Being one of
the four "agitators" who recently
compiled and distributed the
Lion's Paw pamphlet, I would
like to comment on the childish
and irresponsible attitudes of
Messrs. Pearson and Bowers to
this and other anti-Lion's Paw
moves, as expressed in their let
ters to the editor of the Collegian
of May 4 and May 6, respectively.
Mr. Pearson: Any effort to
laugh off anti-L.P. action by mak
ing vague counter-charges of im
mature and purposeless bush con
spiracies should be taken for what
they are: attempts to throw up a
smoke-screen around the real is
sue.
Mr. Pearion is in no position
to laugh. He and SGA President
Dick Haber, both members of
Lion's Paw, have been indicted by
past University party chairman,
Mr. Nelligan, as the prime movers
behind the attempted elections
fix. I can understand why Pear
son is seemingly trying to avert a
badly needed investigation by the
University Senate.
Incidentally, it should prove in
teresting to see if Mr. Nelligan
will again be used as scapegoat by
Haber, just as all blame was con-
veniently- thrown in Nelligan's
Frosh 'Exposes' Elms
TO THE EDITOR: Having had
the pleasure (?) of living next to
Alan Elms all year, I have found
outmany of his intentions. I feel
that since his slanderous cam
paign started back in April, that
now the students should know
about him.
He is obviously a brilliant boy,
for he is carrying a 3.82 All-11 av
erage in his eighth semester. But
217 HUB
not all knowledge is gotten out
of a text. His brains have brought
him control of almost the entire
floor of our dorm.
Many of the letters in this col
umn recently have been inspired
by Alan by signed by others. The
picketing of the Lion's Paw office
a few weeks ago was provoked by
Elms.
121 Sparks
The most important thing that
I feel the students should know
is, the statement I heard made by
one of Elm's accomplices while
trying to get support for his latest
slander. Quote "Alan is a senior

face in the recent campaign
The attitude of Mr. Bowers is
even more irresponsible. His let
ter of May 6 came as an unpleas
ant surprise, not because he said
anything damaging, but because
one would think several years of
experience in student government
should have sold him on the im
portance of absolute assurance of
honesty and integrity, and of be-
_ .
ing informed.
The "humorous" suggestion that
Messrs. Byers, Elms, Brandt, and
myself should get a room in Old
Main for our "secret" organiza
tion is a demonstration of appal
ling ignorance.
There is nothing secret about
the doings of this foursome: Mr.
Bowers and his skeptical cohorts
are cordially invited if they would
care to step down from their self
made pedestal of cynicism.
Mr. Bowers further contends
that he can find no service in our
organization. Besides the fact that
we have no "organization," I can
see no greater service than point
ing out fundamental faults in the
operation of student government,
and seeking their remedies. This
is our only interest. If Mr. Bowers
has any constructive suggestions
to this end, let us hear them.

who gets out in less than a month.
He doesn't care what happens, but
he wants to hurt them" Unquote.
The "them" referred to in the
quote is questionable, but I feel
sure that it refers to Lion's Paw.
Is this what the students want?
Here is a senior who is angry at
Lion's Paw for personal reasons,
so he is using the whole student
body to get back at them.
No one outside of Lion's Paw
members know their functions.
How can we blame them for any
thing if we have no proof. The law
states "innocent until proven
guilty." I have seen no evidence to
convict them of anything, let alone
the charges made by Elms, Brandt
and Co.
Up until now the students have
heard only one side of the story.
The aggressors must prove their
guilt, not they prove their inno
cence. Perhaps this might enligh
ten the students to the other side.
