PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion 'Little' Things Add Up Students who are looking apprehensively toward a rise in residence hall fees this year or next should take a moment to reflect upon the things that they can do themselves to help hold these costs at a minimum, The thoughtless, inconsiderate and sometimes out right malicious actions of students often cause unneces sary bills or added expense because of waste of utilities or abuse of furnishings. The results of such actions are inevitably going to Turn up in increased rates for the students. Most students at some time or another are guilty of the thoughtless little things that add to the expense— leaving a faucet running, an electric light on, or a window open when the room is not being used. According to figures compiled by the University Maintenance and Utilities Department, one faucet left running all day would provide the normal daily water requirements of 90 students. One free-running drinking fountain can waste 7,200 gallons of water in 24 hours. The University's electrical bill runs about $220,000 a year and the heating bill approximately $300,000, accord ing to Albert E. Diem, vice president for business admin istration. He has estimated that if such simple rules as turning off lights, radios and appliances which are not in use and turning down the heat rather than opening windows were followed as much as a five per cent reduction in costs might •he realized. This would mean a yearly savings of $ll,OOO in elec tricity and $15,000 on heat. Open windows often allow damage by wind and rain to walls, floors and painted surfaces. Piling coats on heating and ventilating units in class rooms.not only causes added expense but does not allow maximum comfort for occupants. Pranks, such as lighted newspapers under doors and water floods in the rest rooms, can cause extensive damage Paths across the grass which must be reseeded con stantly may save the students a few steps of physical exertion but cost them several dollars in fees. Some favorite pastimes of students in dining hall waiting lines is digging out ceramic or acoustical tiles with fingernails, files, etc., and carrying chairs up the steps so they can sit down. Some of these chairs have been dropped down the stairs and seriously damaged. AlNthese things may be little but when added up they can have a significant effect on the fees students have to pay. In their own interests, students should catch them selves each time they do one of these "little" things so that conservation and care become daily habits. HUB Lot count for Wednesday Hour (P.M.)

STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Letters Spectator's Behavior Discussed TO THE EDITOR: This Satur day, as is the case on many Saturdays throughout the au tumn, Penn State students will make asses of themselves. Their vehicle has been and will be the flask. The foul language. raucous noises, horseplay and general rowdiness covers the obnox ious display while the unbal ance, vomit, smell and liquor that is sprayed over the crowd include most of the disgusting displays. Is this all done for the sake of school spirit? Baloney! The only spirit they have is in - their flasks. The University is partially to blame for this. The senate regulation W-4 states: "Pos session or use of alchoholic beverages on University prop erty . . . (is) prohibited." Does the University condone these Bacchanalian orgies or is it simply blind to them? If the former, why don't they open the stadium every Friday and Saturday regardless of foot ball games and make enough money to lower tuition? There is a time and place for everything, If these clowns want to get drunk let them do it in the cellars of their fra ternity houses ~or at any of the fine local taverns, and let us watch the game in peace. —Robert Cordover '62 Trend to Group Action Protested TO THE EDITOR: The recent campus trend towards group action is showing alarming tendencies to accelerate in an apparent effort to reach its un avoidable end product of group thinking as soon as pos sible. The few worthwhile tech niques obtained from such or ganization are being forced in to every nook of student life, with the resulting destruction of individual thoughts and abilities. It is a well-known fact that an idea which works on a small scale is often clumsi ly inoperative when magnified. Granted we are no longer Farmers' High School, we must remain a university, not be come a corporation, to be tip top, Food Praised TO THE EDITOR: We would like to offer our thanks to the cooking staff of Waring Dining Hall for the delicious dinner last night. So often we complain when the food does not please us, but say nothing when we enjoy it. Thanks again!

(W) Shaken by disorders that swept through this tense city, the New Orleans School Board yesterday sought federal court permission for a recess to in tegration of public schools. U.S. Dist. Judge J.

The board's move to return to segregated schools until dif ferences between city and state can be ironed out came on a motion filed by Samuel Rosenberg, the board's attor ney. The motion did not ask that the integration order be va cated. It asked time to ease tempers, to work out a solu tion to the bitter dispute be tween segregationists and the court order. U.N. Commission To Go to Congo UNITED NATIONS, NY. VP) —The U.N. Conciliation Com mission for the Congo an nounced last night that it would begin work there a week from next Saturday.

General Assembly. . The commission said it de cided at its first meeting yes terday "that it would assem ble in Leopoldville on the morning of Saturday, Nov. 26."

Told that Gen. Ouane Ra thikone, commander of the royal Laotian army, was said to have gone over to the right ist rebel regime of Gen. Phou mi Nosavan, Souvanna de clared: "The government re mains the government and it will do its duty." The prestige of Ouane is so high that Western diplomats believe he can swing victory to the faction he ultimately joins. Souvanna told reporters Ou ane's trip to Savannakhet, Phoumi's base in southern Laos, apparently has been con firmed, but he did not know under what conditions he went there. Ouane has been in Lu ang Prabang, the royal capital 130 miles north of this admin istrative capital. "I cannot say anything about it until I know those condi tions," the premier said. Western diplomats refrained from jumping to any conclu sions about Ouane's trip until the highly respected general Comes out with a statement. Actor Clark Gable Dies - of Heart Attack HOLLYWOOD (EPA Clark Gable, whose crackling voice, rough-hewn face and husky frame became the symbol of American manhood to th e world, died late Wednesday night of heart failure at 59.

He breathed two short gasps and died without apparent pain before his wife could be summoned from across the hall at Hollywood Presbyterian Hospital. Mrs. Gable, herself a heart patient, is five months' preg nant with the actor's first child. Funeral services have been tentatively set for Saturday at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
