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.

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.

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!

Orleans Asks
No Integration
NEW ORLEANS, La. (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. Skelly
Wright—the jurist who ordered
the integration—said he would
hear arguments on the motion
today.
- .
One-third of the white pub
lic school pupils in New Or
leans played truant yesterday,
12,666 of a total white enroll
ment of 36,725,
A growing boycott of the two
elementary schools integrated
last Monday just about reached
100 per cent yesterday.
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.

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.
The decision was made pub
lic despite statements of Con
golese President Joseph Kasa
vubu that the 15-nation Asian-
African commission should not
go to his country without his
consent and that he could
not give his consent until he
was seated in the U.N. 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."
Leopoldville is the capital of
the Congo, where the group
will seek to make peace be
tween rival political leaders.

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.
Thought to have been re
covering from a heart attack,
with which he was stricken
ten days ago, he had eaten
dinner and had been taking an
evening nap. 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.
