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.

Another Speidel Successor?
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.

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."

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.
