Myopia Again
Give, if thou canst, an alms: If not, afford
Instead of that, a sweet and gentle word.
—Robert
Herrick.
We live too much in the present, unable to see the forest for the
trees. Contemporary history we regard as all important; the past we
scan, the future we shun. Thus we can see in the men's dormitory fast
nearing completion only a threat to fraternities, the death-rattle of
the cooperative group-house, and the first in a series of abridgments
of personal male liberty. We oppose the tampering with the status quo
which the erection of Alumni Residence Hall N o . 2 represents, especially when such tampering involves our re-dedication to the "give"
rather than the "get" philosophy.
Every undergraduate enrolled in State College possesses a scholarship worth $400 annually—holders of state scholarships receive an
additional $100. It may be that we deserve this money. It may be
"the least we can expect of a state too niggardly to establish a real
university." But such a view represents the state as some intangible
automaton designed to dole out funds to the deserving. Tt malignantly
neglects the consideration that we arc the state, that we expect the
state to invest its limited revenues where our elected
representatives
think the funds will do the most good.
"If the Appointment Bureau gets me a job, I'll contribute to the
Dorm Drive" has come to be the usual apology given for not signing a
pledge. The implication in this statement is that a job is the only
thing of value one may "get" from four or five years at Stale. Myopic
holders of this view overlook the significant fact that State also offers a
liberal education at a cost negligible when compared to that at colleges
and universities of similar rank and reputation. Not satisfied with
their refusal to pledge, these selfish individuals have withheld their
cooperation and seized every opportunity and triviality to discredit
the project.
T w o And T w o Does N o t E q u a l F o u r
Opponents of Residence Hall No, 2 have fortified themselves behind
objections relevant to conditions at Hall No. I. The only good thing
about the food at the present dorm is its scarcity. The coffee is
abominable. The "atmosphere" at the dorm is one conducive to "hellraising" and debauch, conducive to anything and everything save
study. $162 per half is an exorbitant charge for board and lodging.
7:15 an unholy hour at which to serve breakfast, 70c an outrageous
charge for a dinner guest, the "four-feet-on-lhe-floor" rule most
inconvenient the dormitory is a regulation-ridden, comfortless showcase. Nice to look at and that's about all. Assuming all these things
to be true, how can dormitory opponents reconcile their position to the
paradoxical, if not anomalous, situation which today finds Hall No. I
jilted to capacity and possessed of an ever-growing waiting list? Evidently their two and two does not equal jour.
Peculiarly hearing the brunt of this privately expressed and publicly unexpressed student opposition has been the one man whose untiring and financially uncompensated efforts have made of the two dormitories something more than architectural conceptions and pretty blueprints. No one else save possibly Roosevelt -would have plunged
into a construction program involving more than half a million dollars
with little more than a fervent faith in the generosity of State graduates as financial security. A year ago, the hue and cry emanating
from the student body h'OR WHOSE EXCLUSIVE B E N E F I T this
housing program was designed might well have prompted H I M to
mentally shrug his shoulders and the ALUMNI ASSOCIATION to
raise its collective hands in gesture of complete abandon.
Alumni Residence Hall No, I raised a storm of protest in its day.
"Doubting Thomases" among the faculty, the alumni, and the student
body ranted and raved. The herculean task of financing, constructing,
and maintaining a women's dormitory they regarded as manifestly
impossible of fulfilment. The past decade has given the lie to those
specious critics. OUR A C C E P T A N C E BY T H E ASSOCIATION O F

Next fall we will have a campus. It may be a quarter of a mile

undergraduate students. We will have these things when Alumni
Residence Hall No, 2 opens its doors. Today's announcement of
administrative policy relative to the men's dormitory is again giving
the lie to still specious and uninformed critics, At the bottom of
most of their vituperative criticism has been a woeful ignorance of
the facts.
It is evident that the more we learn about Alumni Residence Hall

All the sub-contractors working on
the building, the plumbers, the electricians, the steam-fitters, are working closely behind the contractors
in order to complete the building on
schedule. The plumbing is completed to the first floor, and the electrical conduits have been installed
up to the mezzanine floor,
The entire building will be air-conditioned and completely insulated.
The furnishings will be of oak and
will fit in with the masculine oldEnglish style. All rooms will be

sleeping floor will contain two blocks
of lavatories and.showers. Pressing
and laundry facilities will also be
provided.
Mrs. Bertha E. Brimmer, Secretary
of the Alumni Association, defines
the purpose of the Alumni Housing
program. "We believe that group living is a definite asset in the preparation for life. Future teachers, especially, need practice in living with
others since it is necessary for them

Student Association to Discuss
Reduction in Appropriations;
Total to Hit Record Low
The estimated budget for the 194142 year will receive its public discussion at the Student Association
meeting of April 4, the Student
Board of Finance announced today.
At that time, a hearing will take
place in assembly on the various
items in the budget.
Organizations are to submit by
March 19 itemized accounts of their
estimated expenditures for next year
to Finance Board, which is faced
with the problem of cutting this
year's budget of $12,987.60 to a figure
a little above $10,000.
The hearing in assembly is to be
held to give the student body a
chance either to defend or to cut
proposed appropriations in the budget.
the field.
(Photos bu Do Bell)
Registration Lower
The large decrease in funds which
will be available for organizational
expenditures next year is being caused by several factors. The most important of these is that next year,
due to the fact that there will be
three classes in the college with only
250 members each, undergraduate
registration will be the lowest that
it has been in the recent history of
the college. Less than a thousand
students are expected to be enrolled.
Collections Incomplete
Also a contributory cause will be
the fact that never in the history of
the Student Association have student
tax collections reached 100%. Because of this, the budgets every year
have been cut. This year the budget
will be planned with the prospect of
an incomplete tax collection in mind.
The large reduction in available
funds will necessitate sharp curtailment of the money alloted to the
various organizations.
