Student council Reorganiz Kennon Plan Is Ready For Presentation Representatives Would Be Elected 'From Departments Proportional System Delayed To Next Year The plan for the reorganiza tion of Student Council, as for= mulated by John D. Kennon '3B, president, will be presented to that bOdy at its next meeting, it was announced last night. The reorganization calla for an election of representatives from the Sophomore and Junior classes - of each department: of the schools who -will meet in a pre liminary meeting and elect a perma nent representative- of 'each group. Those elected will then become mem bers-at-large of the regular Student -Council: No voting "privileges will be given to them this year but in the future it is likely that they will become recog nized members. The men elected this semester will, be allowed .to: discuss .all. the'. issues , brought,before'.' the 'More,-Representative'., Inchided at first.with' the-plariovii the , 'proposal -.that - members-at-large should, be in proportion to the group that they represent. .However, to sure the adoption bf this plan •this "semester, ii.was.thought best to defer that system until next semester. The plan for democratization of the Council was presented. in one of the first Meetings this semester in order, that the students as a whole would have more to say about the ing body. Clarence E. Trotter - - '3B spoke to the Council in its last meet ing, outlining the Ag Student Coun cil, but because of this body!s peculiar organization, it could not, it was felt, be applied to the school as a whole. -Campus Opinions on Change * When questioned by the-Collegian concerning proposed change, John'll. Ferguson, of the School of liberal Arts declared: "Some reorganization is necessary to avoid concentration of authority intheirands of a few con spicuous campus politicians. The idea of departmental. representation ap peals to me as if puts the Council on a broader basis." "The new set-up," Kennon claims, "will mean that the student body will be better represented in the control of their activities. BforC interest in the work of the Council 'will also be the result of the plan, if it is approv ed by the existing Council."

PRICE FIVE CENTS Lions Seeking Revenge For '36 Drubbing Lehigh Season Shows 2 Losses, 1 Win; Chances Slim Teams Have Weighty Walls, Light Backfields By HERD CA N Remember 1936! This will be the theme for a revenge - seeking Penn State eleven in its 18th encounter with Lehigh on New Beaver field to morrow afternoon at 2:30 o'- clock. The Nittany Lion team that will face the Brown and White tomorrow offers a sharp contrast with the disorganized aggregation that suffered a humiliat ing 7-q defeat last year. Those 'on the Lion - team, who were on the squad last season, have been pointing as much for this' game as the traditional Penn and Pitt gashes. They want to prove that. it wasn't their fault that we lost! It is a shame that the Engineers do not present a very st i' ong• outfit, for, unless Couch Bob Higgins holds them back (which is going to be 'hard to do), the grid ders guarantee that it will be a State touchdown •.parade. • 'State , Ilas. Better Record Coniing out of the undo close loss, on-the-way gang; lvhile the Engi neers limed to Case and Boston U, and won from the 100 per cent simon pure Johns Hopkins. By comparative scores and according to those who have seen both teams, State is the top-heavy favorite ,to score almost at. will. Lehigh's Coach Glenn Ilarmeson, commenting on tomorrow's game clue ing practice early in the week, said: "I don't see how we can stop that State offense." The Nittanymen aim to maintain their record of having scored within the first seven minutes in each of the first three games. Co-capt. Sammy Donato, who was discharged from the College infirm ary Wednesday, recovered' - from an in fected foot, will be in shape to play, but Coach Higgins does not expect to start him. Dud Enders, who hurt his leg in the Backnell clash, will prob ably not see action. Co-capt.
