convention in 1856 we have
been reforming the Republican
Party to keep abreast of the
expansion of the electorate,"
the Kansas Senator said in an
interview. "Today we are
moving toward regularizing
youth participation in the
party."
Dole pointed out that the
primary source of new ideas to
involve youth in the GOP
(what he likes to call the
"Grand Open Party") is the
DO Committee for Delegates
and Organizations.
"This 16-member panel
made up equally of national
committeemen and
committeewomen -- was
authorized by the 1968
convention to look over the
rules and procedures of
governing the party at all
levels," Dole explained. "In
passing, you might compare
our reform committee with the
Democrats', which had less
than one-third women
members. The DO Committee's
recommendations will be acted
upon at the San Diego
convention, starting Aug. 21,
and those adopted will be fully
in force for the convention
four years later." He said that
the rules adopted at ore
convention can only be
changed by another. "On the
other hand the Democrats can
change theirs through their
national committee, and thus
be influenced by one
candidate's preferences."
What are the DO
Committee's recommendations
so far?
"The most far reaching
idea put forth by the DO
Committee," Dole said, "is
that voters under 25 should be
represented on state
delegations 'in numerical

Member University Council as curriculum evaluation and
More than nine months
ago, President Oswald released
a directive that carried great
importance for every Penn
State student. Yet I'm sure
most of the students reading
this article have never heard of
it.
It established a set of
principles for student
participation in academic
affairs. These principles were
developed by the University
Council at the President's
request. It was the Council's
first order of business after
being formed early in 1971.
The report began by naming
one overriding principle: "that
individuals who are directly
affected by decisions should
have the opportunity to
participate appropriately in
making those decisions."
The directive further
established guidelines for
student involvement stating
that it "should be active rather
than passive" and it "should
move toward full and direct
participation in academic
affairs." The overall objective
was to "increases the
University's responsiveness to
changing educational needs."
The primary emphasis was
on providing for teaching and
course evaluation by students
to improve the quality of what
is being offered. It called on
faculty members to employ
methods to achieve this. Active
He noted that the
Democrats' "guidelines" only
require representation by
youth "in relationship to their
presence in the population of
the State."
"While our
recommendation has not been
made binding on the states,
several have already moved to
get as many youth included in
their delegations as possible,"
Dole said. "Minnesota and
Illinois are examples that
quickly come to mind."
Dole went on to outline
further examples of how the
GOP is going to increase
in the convention by all
segments of teh party.
"For the women the GOP
moved long ago to ensure that
they were represented equally
on convention committees," he
said. "The DO Committee
wants to go further and require
as much as possible equal
representation at the
convention by men and
women."
He pointed out that the
GOP has never recognized the
"unit rule" by which a
delegation must cast all its
votes for one candidate,
regardless of individual
preferences by deleg,s. "This
prohibition is so strenuously
enforced that one delegate can
ask for a roll call of his
delegation, stopping the entire
convention proceedings. Note
that the Democrats settle roll
calls off the convention floor,
away from the public eye."
"I believe we are moving
toward greater opportunity for
youth and others to participate
in the party generally and the
convention specifically," Dole
said. "As we do this we must
also let them know they are
both welcome and needed."
design, evaluation of advisprs
and the advising program,

faculty, and appraisal of the
cumulative direction of

University Council and
President also reaffirmed the
necessity of active faculty
participation in academic
affairs.
The President directed all

Directors and Deans of
Colleges of Penn State to

priorities. Following is the
second of a number of NSL
Legislative Reports to member
campuses.
As of this date the NSL

good beginning but we must all
work to build the membership
in the coming months in order
to have the greatest possible

COP passes Yanoshik's
resolution for free press,
but APS release
The recently-formed
Council of Presidents (COP),
consisting of the heads of all
Commonwealth Campus
Student Government
Associations, met on Dec. 4 at
University Park.
Hazleton SGA President
Paul J. Yanoshik presented a
proposal dated Dec. 3, 1971,
to COP urging a revamping of
Senate Policy 111-D-8
concerning student
publications. He termed certain
sections of this policy
"unreasonable, unfair and in
opposition to student
interest."
This policy bans the
distribution of publications not
produced by chartered student
organizations on campuses of
the University. Disputes over
the policy erupted here during
Fall Term when distribution of
the underground student
newspaper, "The Guerilla,"
was banned from campus.
At the Nov. 16, 1971,
meeting of the Hazleton SGA,
a vote was taken with regard to
the abolition of the Senate
policy in question. The
representatives voted 6 for
abolition, 0 against, and 3
abstentions.
Despite all this, a news
release (No. 73-71) sent to all
Commonwealth Campus
newspapers by The Press
Association of University Park
stated erroneously that
Yanoshik's Dec. 3 proposal to
COP was defeated by the
presidents. In reality, however,
the proposal was passed by
COP, according to Yanoshik.
The news release has already
been printed by several
Commonwealth Campus
newspapers.
In response to this,
Hazleton SGA has sent a
memo, dated Jan. 10, to all
presidents of Commonwealth

Y A N OS HIK'S
PROPOSAL:
"The Senate Policy 111-D-8
concerning student publication
of material and the distribution
of that material on campus was
put to the test at Highacres
Campus this Fall. Segments of
this policy proved unworkable
and unreasonable to this
campus when they were
applied in concern with a
publication entitled the
`Guerilla.' Sections of the
policy, which are listed below
were deemed unfair and in
opposition to student interest
by a unanimous vote of the
Student Government
Representatives. Those sections
were found to have stipulations
which restricted the student's
voice and his freedom of
expression in the printed
media. It is our general opinion
that the student's voice is
guaranteed a freedom of
expression pertaining to views
of the University and all other
subject matter as well.
"The segments of policy
111-D-8 which we regard as a
suppression of student
expressions are: (Part A)
`Printed matter published by
students of The Pennsylvania
State University may be sold
as Defense Department
spokesmen announced that the
new military budget, which
goes to Congress in January is
expected to be $ 2 - 3 billion
higher than last year's.
DOD is expected to ask
for $81.5 billion for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1972.
The Defense Department states
that this increase is needed to
convince the Soviet Union that
continued expansion of their
defense budget will be met by
expansion of ours. The upward
spiral of defense requests is
designed to give the United
States "something to bargain
with" at the Strategic Arms
Limitations Talks in Vienna.
Furthermore, the increase is
claimed to provide money to
1) speed-up the conversion of
U.S. Minutemen and Poseidon
missiles to carry multiple
attack warheads; 2) to
speed-up a new
submarine-missile combination
known as ULMS; 3) for a fleet
of new B-1 bombers, and 4)
another sizable increase in the
Navy's fleet modernization
program.
Results from the NSL
referenda call for a change in
national priorities away from
military programs in favor of
domestic programs. (86% of
the returns so far have
indicated a desire for a cut in
the military budget, not an
increase!) Domestic programs

produced or sold by a
chartered student
organization.' (Part C)
`Publications not produced or
published by chartered student
organizations may be sold or
distributed on campuses of the
University only by chartered
organizations and only at
locations authorized by the
Office of Student Affairs.' We
feel that the implications that
these two statements may limit
the student's voice and by
limiting their voice create a
restrictive atmosphere which is
totally against the principles of
a University.
"Printed matter published
by the students of The
Pennsylvania State University
must have the right to be
distributed on campus without
going through channels
designed to censor their
content. This is the only way
in which a student's voice is
guaranteed a total freedom of
expression.
"These policies we suggest
were designed to protect
students from the dissenting
views of minority interests.
This protection is a complete
insult to the students of The
Pennsylvania State University.
The college students of today
must be able to hear all forms
of dissent in order for students
to evaluate any validity that
these materials may contain. 1t
is, therefore, necessary to
revamp the ideology expressed
in the Senate Policies to one
which fits the mode of our
time.
"Respectfully Submitted
Paul J. Yanoshik
President SGA"
COP RESOLUTION:
"Be it known that the
Council of Presidents after
considering the Senate Policy
continued on page two
will be in direct competition
with military programs for
funding next year and NSL will
continue to work for the
programs proposed in Congress
which are in accord with the
results of the referendum. The
NSL will issue a detailed
analysis of the proposed
budget (including Military
Procurment bills and specific
domestic programs) as well as
proposals (such as those
introduced by Senator Nelson)
to get Pentagon spending under
control.
The U.S. Air Force threw
its annual Christmas Reception
last month for Congressmen
and their staff in the Rayburn
House Office Building. The
NSL staff attended this
reception to see "what was
happening" at this 5-7 PM
cocktail party given at the tax
payers expense.
Not much happened. Few
Congressmen were to be seen,
with most of the reception
being taken up by
Congressmen's staff downing a
few free drinks. Apparently
each branch of the service
holds one of these parties each
year - so people don't think
they have lost touch. Also, it
seems to be a good time to say
a few hellos (and thanks) to
the people who have been
helpful iR the past and who
will hopeftllly be helpful in the
future!
