THOMPSON .413 0 „ Editor PAGE TWO ditorial 0 •info Town Housing Two years ago State College took decisive action in establishing a housing code of significance to every University student who lives in the borough. Con tained in the code are the specific requirements for dwellings listed on this page. Since these are the MINIMUM requirements for housing accommodations in the borough, every off campus student should carefully study the list to make certain his apartment or room meets all speci fications. The Housing Commission of the Town Independ ent Men's Council, under the chairmanship of Paul Hedeman, is finally taking concerted action to make certain borough landlords conform to all the require ments. We urge all students who discover violations in their housing accommodations to report them to the TIM Council office in 203 G Hetzel Union Build ing, 865-6851. We have pointed out numerous times the danger of downtown firetraps and other buildings which do not meet the minimum specifications of the borough. It is the duty of every landlord to see that his dwell ings meet these specifications; if the landlords fail, and TIM Council is currently investigating some who have, then students must take the initiative and re port the violations of the housing code. Fortunately, State College has escaped major tragedies from unsafe dwellings, but that is no reason to be complacent on the issue. The violators who give the borough a black name should be pointed out and made to conform 16 the law. University students are also fortunate that the housing situation in State College is not acute, except during some fall terms. New apartment dwellings throughout the borough are providing safe, modern accommodations for hundreds of students and more apartments are planned. It is no longer necessary for University students to live in unsafe dwellings. If they do, and thus support unconcerned landlords, they will be equally to blame for any tragedy. A group of cooperative churches and religious societies in the borough has recognized another aspect of the housing situation and is taking constructive action to combat it. Nearly 20 such groups are asking their members to sign an "open-housing covenant" which reads in part: "I will welcome into my neighborhood any law abiding, responsible person, without regard to race, color, creed or national origin. Should I have occasion to buy, sell or rent property, I will deal fairly with any interested party. I believe that our community should make no distinction on these bases, and as an individ ual, I will endeavor to make my personal practices match my faith in these principles." By thus combatting housing discrimination, another problem which receives little publicity but clearly exists, residents of the borough are recogniz ing their obligation to University students. Through this program and through concerted efforts to make student dwellings more habitable, State College can continue to grow into a more desirable com munity in which students can live. r ldnilf.2lZL .................................................. f.CLYIIr,DRWINZISIL' Quote of the Day teIetWITSZEMOZOSIMILAWC:.7IOSTAM.gIairOzMatoi "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear but around in awareness."

Letters to the Editor Senior Hints YAFer Take Trip to South TO THE EDITOR: After read ing his letter of February 27, I have become aware of Mr. Thormeyer's urgent need for a sound political and sociolog ical education. I believe that such an education should in clude practical as well as aca demic experience in the fields of "state sovereignty" and "Southern hospitality. Therefore, I propose that the YAF set aside funds, which it had previously allo cated for feasting, to provide Mr. Thormeyer with a "car petbag" and an all•expense paid trip to the South. This would enable him to observe and engage in the work of the "carpetbaggers" in spreading the evil doctrine of equal rights for the "uppity nigras." His itinerary should include several of the great bastions of liberty. The first stop might be Selma, Alabama. There, he could receive encouraging pats on the back (with a billy club), from the local law en forcement officers. However, he should decline to accept any invitation to spend the night in the local hotel fo r "carpetbaggers," since he may be forced to share a room with a despic able winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Before entering Philadel phia, Mississippi; Mr. Thor meyer should hire a horse. I understand that the fine for speeding, in that fair city, is Campus Beat Students in my HUBology class discussing Saturday's lecture by Albert Ellis said his dear t h of information proved one thing: everything to be said about sex has been . . . —Prof Wayne JACK BEASLEY FORD Inc.

Sleeping quarters must have 50 sq. feet of floor area (If two or more in room must have 25 feet apiece.) 17. Habitable rooms must have ceiling seven feet high for at least one-half of the floor area. 18. Living quarters must have several lead projectiles and six feet of earth at the local darn site. This fine applies only to 'carpetbaggers." So Mr. Thor meyer would, do well to be aware of the locality's strange, but swift and just, system of law enforcement. After such an excursion, Mr. Thormeyer would be well qualified to run for the USG presidency, or, perhaps, the nearest hospital. I wonder if Mr. Thormeyer has the fortitude to complete the course in practical poli tics, that is given daily by the Southern patriots and defend ers of freedom. —Robert C. Lewis, '65 (Ed. Note: The Daily Collegian learned yesterday t h a t Mr. Thormeyer is, indeed, taking a trip to the South (North Carolina) this Friday.) Fast Participant Defends Motives of Peace Groups TO THE EDITOR: Many let ters have appeared in the Col legian these past few days re garding last• week's demonstra tion. One person maintained our fast was meaningless because wrestlers fast longer. Another likened our effort to the ex tremism of George Lincoln Rockwell. Whether our extremism was analogous to Rockwell's or Ghandi's was not the issue in question, and we were not try ing out for the wrestling team.

Soph Seeking Channels For 'Serious' Exigession TO THE EDITOR: The Daily Collegian seems to be at a loss for worthwhile feature articles, perhaps because stu dents are too "busy" to write them, perhaps because of the 400-word limit on letters to the editor. I should like to have your word on: •The Collegian's feature article policy. •Whether or not free lance features are accepted; and if not, where on campus is there a publication (aside from the few ridiculous ones recently launched) that con-I siders serious work. Several issues of the Col: lsgian contained letters pro testing student apathy and; the lack of "speaking out." Where does one speak out? —Ronald Scheurer, '67, (Ed.

Fasting was not martyrdom nor did we ever pretend that it was. It showed, though, a strong commitment to a belief. We did not arbitrarily and blindly adopt our peace views as was implied in Mr. Hirsh's letter. We have many substan tive reasons for believing in a non-military settlement in Viet Nam. For those who did not have an opportunity to hear or read our reasons last week, we are maintaining a literature booth through Thursday of this week in the Hetzel Union Building. • • —Thomas O'Brien, '65 NEW COLLEGE DINER Downtown Between the Moyies •ALWAYS OPEN Bathroom floors' must be impervious to water.
