ditoria I Opinion Expanded Art Program—Joy or Fear? A striking—and somewhat discouraging—con trast is revealed by a close reading of two related items in yesterday's Daily Collegian. The one, a news story, describes the plans of Exhibitions Director Richard Fraenkel to expand the art display - program at the University. Fraenkel feels there is a definite need for an extension of the University's art displays and wants to bring the "outside in to the campus." While his immediate plans are to expand the present number of displays, he eventually wants to see a permanent University museum or art gallery constructed where there can be ". . an intensive display of a permanent collection" of art works. Such a gallery, housing works which reflect the philosophies of artists "from diverse times," will help, Fraenkel feels, to educate the public to the real meaning of art. Franenkel's plan to extend art on campus is good news indeed. For Penn State, it means another step toward erasing the image of an uncultured, intellectually unsophisticated school. But even more important, it means that the student body, isolated most of the year from the large cultural centers, will have an oportunity to view the best art available. A sobering note, however, is contained in the second item, a letter-to-the-editor written by Fraenkel.

TO THE EDITOR: This letter is not intended to support nor criticize the thesis of Sports Editor James Bukata's col umn of Jan. 8 concerning the selection of Coach Speidel's successor. He mentioned the names of five alumni—all great com petitors and likeable men— being considered for the post. However, a few well quali fied alumni were noticeably missing from his list—the most eminent being that of John G. Reese, Director of Athletics, Associate Professor and Department Chairman of Physical Education, and wres tling coach at Wilkes College in Wilkes-Barre. - In addition to the above mentioned responsib fifties there are other considerations which make this personable young man a prime candidate to succeed the only Eastern Prestling coach to ever win the NCAA championship. Following Reese's gradua tion from Penn State, he for two years coached the win ningest high school team in Northeastern Pennsylvania. One member of that team is presently freshman wrestling coach at Rutgers University. As wrestling coach at Wilkes College from the year that th e Middle Atlantic Conference opened wrest ling competition to all mem ber colleges (1957 through 1961, Reese's teams took five straight championships. The next two years his teams finished second. During this seven-year per iod as a college coach, I would estimate his dual meet record to be about 54-6-1. Here it should be noted that Reese's record was compiled without the aid of lucrative scholarships since less than one-fourth of the young men competing for him had schol arship aid and those who did receive aid were limited to $3OO per year at an institution which costs the resident stu dent about Sl,BOO annually. During this same period, he has produced better than one high school wrestling coach per year.

What additional qualifica tions does this candidate pos sess? First, a few years ago he earned his master's degree in physical education from Penn State. Next, he is wres tling editor of Mentor, the national coaching magazine. Third, Reese has served on executive committees of MASAC, ECAC and NAIA. Fourth, he has served as a lecturer at many wrestling clinics in New York, New Jer sey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia an d Washington, D.C. in addition to annually running his own wrestling clinic in Wilkes-Barre. In addition, John Reese has acted as 'chairman of the an Former Art Editor Joins Alumni Support for Froth TO THE EDITOR: Last Nov. 16 I was quoted in a brief news item as "favoring" the banning of Froth. As a former Art Editor of Froth, may I take up some of your valuable space to qualify those off-hand remarks. Froth was—and I hope soon will be again—part of the Penn State tradition. More important than the amusement it some times gave to its readers was the opportunity it provided for editors, writers and cartoonists to practice their crafts; as such, it provided an important preparatory training - ground for many students who went on to careers in writing or journalism. But I know of no newspaper or magazine editors who aren't ultimately responsible to some authority—an editorial director, a publisher, a board of direc tors There's no reason why the editors of Froth should not be subject to the same kind of supervision and control they will work under if they pursue a career in journalism, and I can't see any valid objection to such supervision—the same absolute kind, say, that Henry FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1964 The letter refers to the recent Faculty Art Ex hibition in 'the Hetzel Union gallery which,.Fraenkel says, was marred by numerous acts of vandalism. These included knocking a painting off a wall, writing on an assemblage, moving an object from one part of the room to another and tearing ma terial from another three-dimensional object. While vandalism can perhaps be expected in a location where the general public has access to art displays, such action in a college community is inexcusable. It is ironic that in the news story. Fraenkel refers to the lack of security at the HUB gallery and states that before any truly valuable art dis plays are exhibited, a more secure gallery mue,i be found. This is, of course, necessary as a safeguard. Nevertheless, the University should be able to' ex hibit art works without fear of vandalism. It is probably safe to assume that an extremely small number of students were responsible for the damage done to the Faculty Art Exhibition. But the fact that it occurred at all is still dis turbing. It makes one wonder what might happen if •and when Fraenkel's plans become a reality. As Fraenkel himself said in his letter " . . . if we cannot permit a platform for that with which we disagree, we may have trouble de fending that which we prefer." nual Wilkes College Open Wrestling Tournament the largest wrestling tourney in, the world. Sixth, he is cur rently co-authoring a book on wrestling. Finally, the only current undefeated wrestler and. 1963 Eastern runner-up at 167 (Strayer) was under Reese's tutorage as a college freshman. In conclusion, John Reese not only possesses an en viable wrestling record, the capacity to speak before the public, and the contacts in the wrestling world, but he also has established himself in the academic world of higher education. —Robert B. Morris Luce has over the editors of Time, Life, and Fortune. The fact is that Froth is inseparably associated with Penn State, and no group of editors should be permitted to treat it as their private prop erty, or to deface it with the kind of irresponsible scurrility I found in one of the last issues. I recognize the danger of of ficial censorship of the work of serious writers and artists, but no one would argue that the work in question was done as serious self-expression or with artistic intent. As to banning Froth perma nently, I feel along with a num ber of other alumni that this would be an unfortunate and unnecessary loss to the student body, especially in terms of re duced opportunities for talented undergraduates to exercise and develop certain types of cre ative skill, and hope that with in the near future the publica tion can be revived and revital ized—as an outlet not only for humor but. for satire and com ment on the entire university scene, including the adminis tration. —Edward Zern Cuban Exiles Express Grief TO ERIC A. WALKER: By means of the present, we the Cuban students who have con fronted communist tyranny of Fiedel Castro, want to reach all the students of that learn ing center our most sincere message of sympathy for the vile assassination of Mr. John F. Kennedy, President of the United States of America.

Without these funds Jack will have to return home, thus having sac rificed this term in vain. All students, faculty and friends who sympathize with the campaign for which Jack Heyman has seen fit to sacri fice ten weeks of his time are urged to attend the SURE membership dr iv e-meeting which will be held on Tues day, Jan. 14, at 7 p.m., at the Wesleyan Foundation. At this meeting Dr. Milnor Alexander, instructor of Poli tical Science, will speak on "Voter Registration in the South."

Associate memberships have been set at $1 for a three-term period, and mem berships at $1 per term. Jack promises to keep SURE and his benefactors up to date with each move of his cam paign and with voter regis tration in general.
