PAGE SIX Student Affairs Mjor Changes by Fall Major changes in the Office of Student Affairs '"to meet student needs in the 1970'5," were, announced yesterday. The changes include a con solidation' of the offices of dean of men and dean of wo men, the development 'of a decentralized student affairs concept within a University Park residence area, and the strengthening of Common wealth Campus student af fairs work. Charles L. Lewis said that Raymond 0. Murphy, coord inator of men's programs, would head a new divisiOn of UniverSity Park Campus stu -dent affairs. This division will carry, out the' work formerly centered in the ,offices of the dean of men and• the dean of women, ' Dorothy L. Harris, dean of women, will become special assistant to the vice president for student affairs. She will plan women's educational de velopment and services, ex plore' new areas of service, and, assist in evaluating pres ent services. Merle E. Campbell, dean of students for the Common wealth Campuses, will head the expanded student affairs program& for Common Wealth Campus students. ' The personnel changes and Coeds Stay in -Dormitories (Continued. from page three) 40's and 50's when the major ity of downtown housind b was in boarding houses, where a boy and girl might be sharing the same bathroom, and there were no locks o'i the doors. But now there is an entirely different setting. These - are apartment buildings wit h locks, he explained. Another rule Dench is try ing to abolish is the required sponsor for the town girls. "Nowhere else in the world is a 21-year-old woman not accepted as a responsible adult," he said. The, dormitories can be kept full, without having to bring the sophomore men back, Dench said. "The Uni versity has to turn away stu dents because of not enough dorm space," he pointed out, "and students aren't dropping out for academic reasons at the rate they were before. "The Dean of 17/oaten's of fice ' thinks that if it change the current policy all the sen ior women will want to get out of the dorms. But apart ment living isn't that advan tageous, especially for a girl. Only the really independent girls will move off, a small percentage of senior women." Apartments Cheaper A TIM survey on housing costs show that, the average downtown apartment costs less than the dorm. A room ing house averages $lO a week, a new apartment is $5O a month per man. Dench claimed that the DOW office is also hindering TlM's efforts to "clean up" State College by allowing girls to live in places TIM wants to condemn because they don't meet the housing codes. "Many of the reasons girls have to get out of the dorms' are put up, fake." he said. "They will do anything, even live in a dirt hole, to get out of the dorms."

Gary Scott has assumed hew duties as administrative assistant to. the vice president for student affairs. He has served as assistant to the di rector of placement for the past two years. • RAYMOND 0. MURPHY New Campus Division Opposed by Old Main • He answered the question, "Why do girls want to live downtown?" "For one, some can't stand the community living with 70 other girls. Also, Penn State's purpose, as a university, is to educate. And Penn State girls are not learning how to take care of themselves. They leave here not knowing• how to be independent. Many mar ry soon after graduation, without having lived on their own, and often face prob lems in their marriage be cause of this." • This last theory is accepted by many people on campus, Dench said. He cited as an ek ample the fact that certain majors in the College of Hu man Development require girls •to live in the Home De onomics management Houses, for one term because, as I Dench said, "They realize that managing on her own is a necessary part of a girl's , education." Also, according to Marjor-1 ie East, Head of the Depart-1 ment of, Home Economics in the College of Education, plans are being made to al low girls in that majOrto live off-campus during their' en tire junior year as part of the emphasis in their curricultim on management. As an expef imental pilot program, four girls in HEED will be living off-campus this term. "This opportunity should not be limited to girls, in just one major," Dench believes. Bench conceded that dorm itory living is necessary for, freshmen, to help them get' adjusted and to develop group thinking. "But the Uni versity also has the commit ment to help senior girls get adjusted to the outside world, and to develop the individu al," he said. "There are 7000 •men in town now, but the number won't continue ,to grew be- A pilot program fOr decen tralized student affairs ser vices in a residence hall arr will be initiated this fall. "Over the past 30 years, the Univefsity has achieved a na tional reputation for its pio neering work in student af fairs," Laivis said, "We - are. thus building on a very strong base." The pilot program for de centralized •services in resi, dence l areas will be launched this fall'in one,of the clusters of residence halls on the Uni versity campus. Approximate ly 2,000 students are housed in each of these clusters. A :complete office of student af fairs, with broad decision making powers, will be estab= lished in the residence hall area! The office will be 're sponsible for functions now handled by several different groups within the Office of Student Affairs. A primary objective in this prognim, Lewis 'said, is to as sist students in the develop ment of new programs that will contribute to the educa tional climate and to the self fulfillment of students as in dividuals. It will also shorten response time and place the decision-making processes of the University in every-day proximity to students. cause the University popula tion is stabilizing. The town, however, is still growing and can take the increase," Dench concluded . Dean Harris' View Whatever reports Dench and the USG off-campus housing committee compile will in evitably laind on the desk of Dean of Women Dorothy L, Harris. Dean Harris's opin ionS on the subject differ widely from Dench's. "It's very simply this—if you let the girls out the rents will go up _immediately in town, and increase the com petition for rooms.
