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.
