THE NITTANY CUB public L?,gislation, committees, and district matters are the three basic duties of a congressman, according to Republican James D. Weaver in his address to the stu dent body in Otto Behrend Sci ence Building October 8. Congressman Weaver, recently appointed member to the approp riation committee, stated that over 400 major new programs were introduced into Congress during the Kennedy administra tion, an increase of over 100 pro grams than were proposed by the Eisenhower or Truman adminis trations. This, he related, ac counted for the so-called "slow start" of the 88th Congress. Among the most outstanding bills passed were the Education Bill, giving private and public schools opportunities to expand, the Wilderness Bill, the Accel lerated Public Works Bill, and the Anti-Poverty Bill. A brief question and answer session followed Congressman Weaver's address. When asked about his stand on the Anti-Poverty Bill, Congress man Weaver expressed his cha grin with President Johnson for failing to conclude the Kennedy program before starting his own. In discussing the Medicare Bill, Congressman Weaver felt that the bill would have been passed by Congress if it had not been incorporated with the Social Se curity Bill. Questionaires, explained the Congressman, provided him with a cross-section of feelings from his district and helped him to decide his stand on various issues. Prior to the assembly, a. recep tion was held for Congressman Weaver in which he expressed the conviction that voters should vote on each issue accordingly and that each candidate should be judged on his own. merit and not on his party affiliation. Who was responsible for the lack of attendance at Con gressman Weaver's address October 8 ? This was one of the questions that loomed foremost in my mind as I scanned the audience only to find it mostly made up of faculty and Mrs. Falkenhagen's speech class. To point the finger of guilt at one person or organization would be using it as a scapegoat, for the blame belongs to all. The SGA, the faculty and the students all contributed o the general lack of support that was most evident. To those of you who attended, my sincere regret that you had to suffer the embarrassment of being the small minority who took an active part. In relation to Viet Nam, the Congressman explained that due to the 1954 Geneva Court decis ion, no weapons developed beyond that year were to be used in war fare. Due to the direct violation of this decision, however, the United States is now preparing a new policy. Letter to Editor Dear Editor: "Freshmen Customs are over now. Hallelujah!" I gladly stood up on the stage of Erie Hall and sang those words. I was really serious at the time, only now I realize that it was fun and worthwhile. Of course, I didn't have to go through some of the punishments that my freshmen colleagues suf fered, which explains why I enjoyed the week. I have to hand it to the , Sophs, though—their sleepless nights of thinking up sentences paid off for the hip boot wearers, water glass carriers, and bowling ball balancers. However, it wasn't the sen tences or the things we could and couldn't do that made Customs successful. It was the Orientation Week fear, making us learn all the facts of Behrend and the Penn State songs, that truly makes us a part of this campus as well as the Penn State family. Customs Week wasn't nearly as terrible as we feared, but we were prepared just in case. We know all about Thomas H. Turnbull, Bruno, and The Niagara. I keep wishing someone had asked me. So now, with two weeks of classes behind us and the knowl edge we gained during Orienta tion and Customs Weeks, we can proudly say that we are Penn State Freshmen, the Class of 468.
