PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Faculty Associates The enthusiasm voiced by the "faculty arsociates," who met last night to evaluate a program in which they have been participating for the past year, showed more evidence of the success a cultural program can have on campus. The program, which was designed by- the dean of women's . staff to further the educational concept, on an informal level, had its start in the women's Philadelphia, Dauphin, Westmoreland and Delaware Houses of No;tli _The participants—students and professors—met" in formally during the year for discussions on many topics and for social activity. We consider the benefits of this program to be similar to those of .the Oriontetion Week discussions on WO Gann& "Lord of the Flies," to which we gave our full support. The coeds in each house chose four professors they desired to know better and the chosen profess Ors were invited to meet with them in the reSidence hall lounges, _ After the program was initiated; the professors - were so - enthusiastic that soon!coeds were invited to their : homes for the evening and irofessors brought their families to visit the residence halls. Because of this program's initial success, we are again Prompted to commend the dean of women's staff and the Students involved on their efforts to instill an extra dose of cultural informality( uto our 'academic , enviroarnent. We support the continuance and expansion of this program. It seems to us to be another worthwhile oppor tunity to promote a cultural fiend on campui We trust that the informal level on which-the program is now.based Would be maintained because "we feel this is very im portant to its success: We see this type of program as & good way to relieve the stigma of pressure of the formal classroom situation while furthering the interests" ofeducation. Other groups, besides the original participants, have shown inter*st in it and some sorority groups already maintain such a program. We urge residence halis and other -campus organiza tions to investigate this program and aid In its expansion. Prerequisite for Voting When Rep. James E. Van Zandt, Republican candi date for U.S, Senator, speaks to students of thLs Univergity at 8:30 tomorrow night iri - Schwab, he wall&off a pro gram which will bring three state candidates to address the students of this University. • Within the next week, troth gubernatorial candida,tes —Democrat' Richardson Dilworth and Republican William W. Scranton—Will speak in Schwab. Dilworth will speak on Tuesday' and Scranton on Thursday. • Son. Joaaph S. Clark, running for re-election to the V.S. Senate on the Dimocratic ticket. spoke' on campus during the eutruner. President Walker is responsible for the campus ap pearance of these four top candidates. Each student thus has the responsibility to the University and to himself to take advantage of this great opportunity. It was not too _long ago when political candidates were . not permitted to speak on the campus because it was thought such practices interfered with University 'state relations. Now with a more mature attitude - toward political figures prevailing, Students can personally judge the views 'and qualification of both the gubernatorial and senatorial candidates. We urge each student to accept his responsibility and attend plese speeches, prepared to ask intelligent and probing questions. Now is the time to get away from poli tical generalities and see how these candidates feel on specific issues. Either Scranton - br Dilworth will soo have a large say in the plans and financial operation's o this .Univer 7 sity—inclucling tuition.

PENNSYLVANIA Letters • Criticism of Krow . . - Termed ..Gross Exaggeration' TO THE EDITOR: As a member derriererslike a group of Inani of the Block.. "S" Club I wish to mate blobs. As a happy and satis fied member of Block "S" all I veherliently contend ,the gross can say is "three cheers for Paul exaggeration on the part of Mr. K row e , R. B. Thomas. His open criticism of Mr.. Paul Krow's "obnoxious exhibitionism" as-Block "S" lead er is 'both malicious and over drawn. Although I do not' know Mr. Know 'personally it' is obvious that the enthusiasm which he dis plays for his job is founded on sincere school spirit not a desire to posses the limelight. A group as large as Block "S" needs a leader who can organize amd . make himself heard. All too many times people, motivated by jealousy or a feeling of insubprdi nation, try to exalt themselves by superficial criticism ,of their 'con temporaries and it is obvious that Mr. Thomas' critique falls into this category. In fact, Block "S" can be very thankful That they don't have a _persoti like Mr. Thomas .as their head for, -judging by - the amount of school spirit which he radiated In his letter, Mr. ThomaS -would have all of us sitting flat on our Block 'S 'Members Defend. Krow TO THE EDITOR: In regard to R. B. Thomas' letter of October 3, concerning the leader of the Block "S" Club, we, as members of that ,club, feel that his views should be challenged. Having participated in __ the Block "S" we have come to the conclusion that our leader's en-: thusiasm is beneficial to the 'spirit of the students. Paid Krow's in tention was not for self impor tance, but rather to lead the stu dents in cheering our Warn to victory: Unless Mr. Thomas is a mem ber .of Block "S", what basis does 'he have for his statement that Paul Krow is "boring to his or ganization?" If, on the other hand, he 4-gi member—why? Ie seems a shame to see a lead er such as Paul Krow criticized for what 4e is doing. Could it be that Mr.. Thomas is jealous? , IZI7 , rp I Or j P NBe.

Unfortunately, if it Were not for Customs, too many students would never experience this love. To many students, going to.college is a pay, pass, graduate, get-a-job process. Customs giVes them the opportunity to appreciate the uni versity that is preparing them for a better life. To Mr.' Bartram it 'may be nonsense, but Cu s toms is valuable in that it teitches fresh men to respect their' position as ,students. Customs sets them aside as a special group. Whether they admit it .or not, it gives them a .feeling of iinportance.lßesides, the humor of Customs tends to ease .the tension that new students build up in themselves. —William Peeler, Also '6B THURSDAY Manor Bats News Analysis Meutherseops Concert Hall News Highlight The Alard Stria' Quarts!
