Last Tuesday's S.G.A. meeting
featured Dick Fasenmeyer end his deadly
...charge that S.G.A. is not representative
of the student body. Each member is
theoretically responsible to fifty
students, but Fasenmeyer feels that
student government is not true to its
constituents.
Ron Bachelor missed . .e.n office
hour because of a 45 minute telephone
call concerning his automobile accident.
When S.G.A. accepted his excuse, Fasen
meyer objected: "We aren't here to
represent nice guys, we're here to re
present the rest of the students." (Who
aren't nice guys?) ..,
Pasenmeyerwho is not a member
of S.G.A. also com Plained that S.G.A.
purchased fifty tickets for last Sun
day's Bill Cosby Show at Penn State.
True, but this was an independend move
iby Bob Michaels. Custody of these
tickets was given to the Behrend Play
ers.
But the players, he pursued,
are not representative of the student
body. Why should the tickets be turned
over to a privileged few? Answer:
(1) because Players requested the
tickets in the first place. (2) Play
ers are paying for the tickets.
Any student organization
may buy tickets to anything of they
pay for them, no matter how small and
unrepresentative a group they are: No
S.G.A. money went into the Cosby tickets,
so it's not a student concern. S.G.A.
didn't complain last time Pasenmeyer
elected to buy himself a ticket to a
Republican banquet.
Fasenmeyer has charged many
times that S.G.A. members vote for
things without thinking them through
But each member of S.G.A. prides
himself on being at least as intel
ligent as Brother Dick.
These are serious charges. It
is good to have an interested stu
dent like Fasenmeyer to serve as
critic. But S.G.A. is not necessar
ily guilty as charged.

Every school newspaper feels
obligated to poke its finger into
the ribs of student apathy and lack
of school spirit, but this time
le'll approach the subject from-a
more optimistic angle.
S.G.A. will soon be sponsoring
a "Student Concerns Week" to discuss
problems pertinent to this campus.
And Gary Baran is currently con
structing an.S.G.A. Suggestion Box.
With the recent Winter Carnival,
student participation increased.
The Clubs went along with the snow
sculpture idea, the tobogganing'
party was successful, the ice
skating party want over.
Circle K even proved that you
don't HAVE to lose money every time
you sponsor an activity. They ac
tually made a profit from their
dance.
And the Program Committee is an
encouraging sign. This organization
has already sparked'same activity by
spearheading the organization of the
upcoming trip to Cleveland.
