Announcement that the college calendar foe next year will remain in its original forte as drawn up by the Senate Coin'mince is an inter esting side-light in the discussion on student government versus student regulation A petition presented by Student Council sug gesting changes in the calendar for the coming )ear caused not a ripple in the quiet calm of the College Senate at its regular meeting last week According to information gathered by a reporter of this newspaper, the petition was read and then completely ignored ' It would seem that the time has arrived for a workable under standing of the powers and limitations at student government at Penn State Recent developments suggest that the powers of Stu dent Ccuncil are imaginary quantities, that this supposedly govern ing body exists only as a convenient medium for dhe handling of rou tine tasks and problems of little consequence, that the opinions of its members or representatives are not even considered when affairs of greater moment affecting the welfare of the undergraduates are being discussed. In other words, calling a spade a spade, the Student Wel fare Committee of the College Senate seems to be the power behind the throne and Student Council, as an administrative body, would ap pear a mere figure-head. The students at Penn State are not trying, to run the College. rar be it from that. They realize the greater experience of die.r superiors and are willing to abide by their decisions if their powers are to be absolute. But they were under the imp - ession, until this year, that a student government existed at this institution and, thus disillusioned, they simply wanted a voice in final enactments for their own welfare. If Student Council has ceased to function satisfactorily as a gov erning body, as has been intimated on several occasions, there is no disputing the right of the Welfare Committee to handle problems which would seem ordinarily to come under the Jurisdiction and with in the province of the undergraduate body. But has Student Council failed in its purposes Is it incapable of hassling problems of great er consequence affecting the welfare of the students' ) These are the questions upon which the whole discussion seems to hinge at pre sent. Several statements have been made by members of the faculty to the effect that powers are simply delegated to student governing bod ies and are subject to recall when these bodies prove themselves in capable. That is true, and every Penn State undergraduate recog nizes the necessity for such a provision and the need for the advice and guidance of more mature minds. But, in the opinion of the students, there has been no just provocation this year for the conver sion of the Senate Welfare Committee from the position of a protec torate to that of a dictatorship. The fact that the petition presented by Student Council relative to the college calendar was rejected is of no particular consequence. The implied inference that it was noceven consuleted worthy of dis cussion is the thing that hurts. INATTENTION The statement was made recently by a college professor before one of his classes that curiosity is a sign of mental alertness. A re mark of this nature opens up the way for considerable comment on the attitude taken by the majority of students in this institution with respect to class room work. It is an accepted fact that where the best results arc to be ob tained in curriculum endeavor, the student must do his share. The instructor cannot force a subject down the throat of anyone who lacks interest in the course. On the othei hand, it bermes a pleasure for a professor to teach when he knows that his efforts arc well received. It is a common thing to see several men sleeping in a lectdre class, to see others reading books or newspapers or talking to their neighbors. It is certain that the instructor notes this lack of atten tion and his reaction is soon apparent in the manner of his lecture, for it is next to impossible for any man, no :natter how capable, to make his course readily understood where such conditions prevail Many courses become burdensome for this very reason. Inattention on the part of a few individuals thus indirectly affects everyone in the class. Attention is defined as close mental application—just the opposite of inattention. It is something to he cultivated and may not come easy to those not used to exercising their mental faculties, but with a little patience the habit will grow and it is surprising how much real enjoyment may be gained in the process. The student soon takes pride in his accomplishment and, without knowing it, he has n new attitude toward his work in general Little need be said about the relative merits of lectures and dis cussion groups, although there is much that could be said on both. The fact remains that in order to get even a lair knowledge of any subject a proportionate amount of time must be spent in earnest study. Inattention defeats its own end, for this very condition makes it hard er to eventually master the subject. Where a class is mentally alert, there is an entirely different atmosphere present than in the case where a class is mentally sluggish. Instead of feeling that teaching is distasteful and that it is merely something to occupy an hour's time, the instructor is interested even more titan the students. As a result, instead of being burdensome, the hour will pass more quickly and with much more profit to all concerned.
