SCARLET AND BLACK SHARE TOILET WITH 6.12 GIRLS? by the Sims Do—lt-Yoursell Editor The most obvious problem tac- lng Buildings and Grounds when they prepare North Campus hall for women will be the bath- room situation. Those urinals have got to go. And go they will — this sum- mer. In an exclusive interview with the $813, E3111 head Dale Hawn said that the urinals will be taken alt the walls, and the two-inch pipes plugged "All the girls Will see is a metal plate covering the wall where the pipes were," explained Hawn. But now comes the crucial question — will there be enough toilets? According to Mr. Hawii, an institutional iacility that does not have “peak times or usage” requires one milet ior every iiitcen women (An oitice build- ing where coltee breaks or lunch breaks are taken by all women at the same time would need more, but a college dorm, where women are eating and sleeping on more irregular schedules does not have petal-r times). it is comiorting to know that this 15-1 limit is not even up preached. At the worst, there will be 7.12 women per toilet. This number seems more than reasonable to Mr. l-laWn, and to Mr. Pomerenk, the Director of Residences But — Dean Low wants more toilets! She wants a toilet for every tour girls. Well, aside from being unnecessary, this added plumbing would be cost- ly. For reasons that cannot be adequately discussed in a iaml» ly newspaper such as this, a two-lnch urinal pipe cannot op- erate a toilet. So, explained Mr. Hawn, the walls would have to he ripped open, tour inch pipes installed, and the walls closed. This would Come to about $3,500 per toilet. And you thought the reception center hurt . . .

JOHN’S UNIVERSITY SLIPS.BM}K JAMAICA, N. Y. (CPS) — St. John’s University, which shook the educational world when it fired 31 teachers in 1955 in a dispute over the laCul- ty’s role in policy-making, has quietly regained its accredita- tion. The Middle States Associa- tion oi College and Secondary Schools has “vacated" an order requiring the Catholic univer- sity to show cause why its accreditation should not be lift- ed. The association said St. John's “is an improved educa- tional institution” and also cited the “appointment at a distin- guished lay educator." Dr. Henry Mills, as provost as rea- sons tor liiting the order. The Very Rev. JDSBph T. Cahlll, St. John's president, said, “We are naturally very gratiiied that the show cause order has been vacated." Groups representing college proiessors were not so pleased, however. Betram H. Davis, general secretary of the Amer- ican Association oi University Prolessoi-s, said, “It is disap- pointing to learn that the Mid- dle States AssoClatlon has taken this action heiore St. John's regulations and policies were iound to be in full conformity with accepted standards or academic ireedom and tenure. lsrael Kugler, president 01 the United Federation of Col- lege Teachers (UFCT), the union winch represents 18 oi the 31 tired teachers Said his organization was extremely displeased" at the (120.10“. He also outlined some of the issues which he felt should have been resolved belore the order was liited. Among “i“: —The admi stration has re- iused to allow the UFCT, a local unit of the American Federation oi Teachers (AFT), exist as an organization on the campus. rThe approximately 100 teachers who struck against St John’s for Six months after the 31 proiessors were tired should have been automatically rein- stated when Lhe case was turned over to an arbitration group. A few of the 100 have been rein— stated but most have taken ap- pointments at other univer- sities. >Tlie arbitration procedure. which is expected to begin later this month, is secret, the teacha ers had to iorego all rights to sue ior libel and slander, and they are not allowed to be re- presented by the union. oi the 31 who were originally fired, two have been rellired by the university, ll have taken positions elsewhere, 13 have agreed to arbitration and iive are still planning to sue the university. Kiigler said the suit was intended to bring out into the open the alleged lack or academic freedom at St. John's. The 31 were bred ior union activity and other shorts to gain a greater voice in the run- ning oi the university. iiHllIHilliiiiilliiiiiiliiiilliiiilliiiiilliililliiiilliililiiiiiillliiillliiillliiill P bi»! “if they have done nothing else, today's college students have lorced you and me to think more clearly about our close-knit World and to examine mo: c' cly our own particular sets or values." leenn Leggett Pug: Flu ) ANIMAL (Continued tram Page 4) committee‘s decision?
