PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Dress Code Attacked The arguments given by the dean of men's office for the rejection of a dress code that would have allowed men to wear bermuda shorts to all evening meals are illogical. . The new dress code, which was proposed by the Men’s Residence Hall Council, was called “unacceptable” by the dean of men’s office Monday; . ‘ , Raymond 0. Murphy, assistant dean of men, said since many "of the students living in the residence halls may move down town next year they must develop a respect for proper dress now. It seems to us that any person who has not learned respect for proper dress by the time he has reached college age cannot be taught this respect by an administration produced and enforced dress code. By rejecting the dress code, the dean’s office has illustrated once again its practice of double talk. In some situations it calls college students mature, self-dependent individuals and yet it lias said “no" to,a minonrequest by a responsible student governing body.’ The dean of men’s office also objected tq the code because it would set a double standard since coeds do not have permission to wear bermudas to evening meals except .on Sundays. . In order to nullify ihU argument, we. propose that AWS and MRC work together in drafting a dress code that will permit all residence hall dwellers to wear bermu das to .all meals. The f)aily Collegian strongly believes that students who desire to wear bermudas .or other .casual dress to evening meals should be permitted to do so. also strongly object to the dictatorial position that the dean of men's office has assumed in this matter. If AWS and MRC want to become more than pawns of the deans’ offices, they,will!have- to coordinate their efforts in all-community matters such and then fight with all their resources for their beliefs.

Buhlman and Crane must be closely related to the Eroverbial ostrich who hides is head in the* sand. A glance 'at jthe Penn State calendar for the summer term will show that it is incomplete, not inadequate; There will be and have beenj chappl services during the summer; we are pre-registered 'for the chapel choirs which sing in these services. There will also be concerts by the Curtis String Quartet; school band, . orchestra and chorus 1 presentations; etc. Whether or not these will be called part of the Artists Series remains to be seen.; Concert goers have found no lack in this area in past sum mers. Student movies have been showing during past summers and have been well advertised. There have also been summer sports activities, which would have been obvious to these two .gentlemen . had they read .the Summer Col legian they mentioned. As for club meetings: clubs are con trolled by their members; if these members attend the sum mer term, these clubs should be in. session. Lastly, it should be remem bered that last summer was a transition period, and should not be used as a reference for future summers. These gentle men should in the future, in vestigate before opening their mpuths to promptly stick their feet in them. Frank E- Sadowsld '62 Alice A.

We’d' have a few discussions and probably have our slate of candidates compiled a few terms before. elections were scheduled. Then we’d begin the “talk ing up" period. We’dfbegin the process of name-dropping and make sure our “boy (or . girl)’’ looked good to the public eye. Of course, we'd be subtle. We'd always be subtle. A few hints’ dropped in the right places can get you a long way. Before I go any further, I’d better tell you how I’d choose my slate. We'd (Puppet can’t be left out entirely) need a presidential candidate, of course. The primary qualifica tion for this person is suavity. My presidential candidate will be able to talk and talk and talk and say nothing. Of course, when I want him to,say something, He’ll do it with facility. My presidential candi date will have “for the gocd of the students” tattooed on his arm "and will be very photo • genic, as that is. one sure way for a'-clean sweep. ‘My vie* presidential candi date will be not-so-suave.

Spring cleaning time has ar rived at Penn State. Grounds are being reseeded, flower beds weeded, lawn 3 mowed and, finally, the windows washed. The whirr of the lawn mow ers can be very disturbing in class and I know that I and many of my' fellow'professors cannot speak over the noise of the things. Naturally, the only thing .that can be done, when the mowers come around, is, to dismiss class. But, I’ve heard that someone is looking into' the possibility of having the lawns mowed in the eve nings. What a boon to educa tion! Also, the up and down, back and- forth sw'ish of the magic, long-handled, high pressure window washer has fascinated students. - One |>oor guy even became hypnotized by the thing, or so I heard.
