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. '

(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."

• 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. There are

dorms weren't built to be
