a student trustee would work to at
tain those goals.
The application and essay are
due 5 p.m. Thursday in 202 HUB.
If the response is moderate, ap
plicants will be interviewed by the
committee individually beginning
next week.
Although it is up to the selection
committee to evaluate the ap
plicants, it is your responsibility to
evaluate yourself before applying.
To be an effective trustee you
should have an understanding of
the University system, its structure
and organization. Or you should
cultivate a strong desire to learn.
Other important qualifications
are less tangible. You should be
outspoken enough to be heard,
but diplomatic enough to be ac
cepted by your fellow trustees.
You should be opinionated enough
to strong arguments, yet
open-minded enough to consider
the views of those you represent. -
But much of this skill will come'
from on-the-job training. In
telligence and sensitivity are the
only real prerequisites in this area.
You also should be articulate
enforced, that a consumer protec
tion agency will be set up, that a
functioning bus system will be
provided, that On Drugs, Inc. and
other social services will survive,
even that bicycle racks will be set
up.
USG knows that last week’s
turnout did not insure that candi
dates for State College mayor and
Borough Council will consider
student interests during the fall
campaign and after the Nov. 6
election.

do it today
enough to communicate your
ideas effectively.
So, you think you qualify? Then
it's up to you to apply. But go into
the interview fully aware of one
fact: you just might be selected.
The position of student trustee
should not be taken lightly. As a
student, you would represent all
students on Penn State campuses
throughout the state. As a trustee,
you would represent the entire
University community.
In addition! if you are selected
as the new student trustee, you
should plan on spending the next
three-and-a-half years of your life
at Penn State. You will be finishing
Lichtig’s term of office which ends
in>Ouly, and, ideally, serving
another three-year term.
In order to communicate student
opinion effectively to the Board of
Trustees, you would haye to live
near the University and talk with
students on a regular basis.
If you still want the job, then by
all means apply. If the impossible
happens and you are selected,
you probably won’t regret it: the
hours aren't bad and the rewards
are tax free.

Letters to the Editor
The Chipmunk
TO THE EDITOR: I have been following with great interest the
controversy between cyclists, motorists and pedestrians.
You see, it applies to my own situation. Instead of using me
as the butt of poor puns on monks who hawk chips, men
should immortalize me as the true champion of the best nimble
dodgers of all in the cyclist, motorist, pedestrian shuffle.
I’ve known for a long time that, whether it be a cyclist,
motorist or pedestrian, if it’s a man (barring a few), he’s out for
himself, and all the laws in the world won’t change human
nature. Humbly yoyrs, I remain known to you as the chipmunk.

Faculty unionization
TO THE EDITOR: 1 regret to say that Miss Karen Baer in her
article on ’’Faculty Unionization” didjnot quote me accurately
nor convey my opinion on faculty unionization in her article on
September'2B. In our interview I made the following points:
Faculty unionizatiom is clearly :a matter tor the faculty
to decide; such a'decision should |not be made until they
have studied other universities, including those faculties that
have rejected unionization as well as those accepting it.
Community college and state college faculties have been
the most likely groups to accept unionization. Most
university faculties, including thosd similar to Penn State,
have not become unionized, and the reasons for this ought to
be carefully examined by our faculty.
I would be personally concerned with any change in the
University structure, whether in administrative or faculty
organization which would prevent me from working closely
with faculty members in our college.
These are my views and unfortunately they did not appear in
the article.
I'm sorry for you
TO THE EDITOR: I am writing this letter in response to Ms.
Serianni’s Oct. 8 letter entitled "I lost, too,” where Ms.
Serianni states: “Your inability to trust a man enough to give
your life completely to him is creating chaos in the world.
When are you going to wake up to the fact that your real
independence lies in the arms of some male who wants to
dedicate his whole life to.you?” (Thid refers, I suppose, to the
women on this campus.) p
Why can’t a woman trust a man without giving her life
completely to him? Why de you equate trust with losing your
identity? I am an independent woman who is going to college
to get an education so I can continue to be independent. My
life is MY life and when I marry, I will share the experiences of
my existence with my mate. By no means am I going to put my
independence in the arms of anyone.
And why do you equate a woman’s independence with
frigidity? (Webster: “a marked or abnormal sexual
indifference, especially in women.”) You are blatantly
contradicting yourself ... mature sexuality is not dependent.
To dispute another point ... ”1 do believe that love,
happiness and marriage go hand in hand. I want to dedicate my
whole life to making one man happy.” Ms. Serianni, can you
not love someone (male or female) without it ending in
marriage? My friends, who are both males and females, are
most important to me and I truly love them. But they are just
that 1 friends. And I don’t consider the relationships 1 have
with them unfulfilled relationships if they don’t lead to
marriage.

As far as dedicating my whole life to making one man happy
... how can ydu expect one person to fulfill every need in you,
and by the same token, how can you expect.to fill one person’s
every need? :
I am not saying that you must go outside the institution of
marriage to get happiness. NOT SO!!! But to “dedicate”
(Webster: “to devote to the worship of a divine being”) my
whole life to any one person sounds truly perverted. I get my
happiness now from all of my relationships with a lot of
people.. They all add together, to help in making me a happy
person, and when I marry, there will be other relationships that
add together .to help make me happy (and I’m not speaking of
sexual relationships?' either.)
In the end, |l would definitely agree with you in saying that
you lost. You’ve missed the whole point of your existence, and
you are truly “from a rib of man.” What can I say except that I’m
sorry for you: and I hope you find that divine being that
you're looking for.
Ceramics wonts you
TO THE EDITOR: I should like to correct an impression left by
Diane Nottle's article in The Dally Collegian Oct. 4 concerning
Women in engineering.
Susan Pavolski (11th-chemical engineering) implied that
ceramic science was not suitable for women because “there’s a
lot of work with heavy equipment.” I can assure you that the
number of jobs ceramic scientists get involving the handling of
heavy equipment is insignificant, especially in comparison to
chemical engineering.
Miss Pavlovski might be interested tp know that women
constituted 20 per cent of our June 1973 graduating class in
ceramic science. Each of these young ladies has been
gainfully employed in the ceramic industry and from last
reports are thoroughly pleased with their work. ;
There are many opportunities for women in ceramic science
and they do the job as well as any man. Women are attracted to
ceramic science by virtue of their interests in an applied
science and engineering curriculum which offers numerous
and rewarding careers.
We have job openings at the present time which we have
been unable to fill with women or men because the demand for
our graduates is so high. And really Miss Pavlovski, that solid
state (ceramic) miniature radio or tape recorder that you carry
around is not that heavy, is it?
