STUDENT DEMOCRACY
CHAPTER 3
STUDENT REPRESENTATION in the Col
lege Senate—the first concrete step suggested this
year Tot the fur ther mg of student democracy—has
been proposed by a faculty member, Di llehnu.
Lanisberg, not by any of the student orgainia
irons that have been called "crackpot" for refus
ing to shut then eyes and imagine that Penn State
students enjoy the Ideal rn nth a-college elation
ships
Dt' Landsberg's suggestion, obviously an out
giowth of the* iecent squabbles between students
mid the Senate, is in the for m of an amendment to
the constitution of the Senate, adding one membei
annually elected by the students to that body,
which is endowed by the Board of Trustees with
Timm to legislate in matte] s of mutual concein to
students and faculty, including all problems of
student welfai e
Respecting the fact that the College Senate
is a faculty, not a student body, the Collegian
recommends instead of the one member, who
presumably would have a regular vote, three
non-voting representatives—two men and one
woman. In this way the views of the student
body could be more accurately represented be
fore the Senate, for one person could hardly
interpret the wishes of nearly seven thousand
men and women. And yet the students would not
be usuiping the voting privilege given Senate
members by the Board of Trustees
THE ADVISABILITY of student iepiesenta
tion in the Senate uas moved two weeks ago by
the Senate itself when it voted to have three
spokesmen of the student body appeal nt the next
meeting to pei serially present students' views on
the mid-year vacation proposal
Petitions, the only way in which students can
now officially suggest Senate actions, have in the
past continually failed to fulfill then purpose. The
season is quite obvious The faculty and adminis
ti ation, largely because of some of the childish
• uggestions that have come before them in the
I'm m of petitions, have grown to feel that stu
dents will sign anything that is an objection to
faculty or administration action
Now, students may appear before the Senate
only when asked to do so by the Senate Itself.
And even on those rare occasions the students
are forced to make their suggestions and then
leave without the oppcn tunity to hear any dis.
cussion or to offer rebuttal.
Student representatives, because of the respon
cibility of the bust placed in them by the student
body, would consider carefully any suggestion be
tole placing it hefoie the Senate Then too, they
could Hai the arguments of the Senate and pass
them on io the rightfully-interested student body,
now totally in the clink as to reasons behind Sen
ate actions
NATURALLY, OBJECTIONS to student rep
resentation will :use among, some members of the
faculty and adnunisti anon, who will justly claim
that the Senate deals with some matters which
students haven't the light of the ability to touch—
such as educational iequii ements, courses of study
and cut mule, admission tequilements, graduation
tequii ements, iipploving of candidates foi degrees,
and amide of scholarships and honors
But, as is explained in the Regulations for Un
del giaduate Students published by the Senate
"The Walk of the Senate is mimed on largely
On ough
n the medium of standing committees,
whith . either recommend action to the Senate,
in, when so empowered by the Senate, act di
ectly "
Thus the most logical objection to student
representation fades away into thin air. For
the Senate, with a quorum of fifty members,
could easily restrict the student representatives
to committees handling problems with which
studests are rightfully interested—athletics, col.
lege calendar and student welfare
When the Senate holds its next regular meeting
on the fast. Thui sday of next month it will be
forced to act on Di. Landsberg's amendment.
Its adoption would mean thr establishment of
a he between the student body and the Senate by
which the students can tationally present their
opinions
Its 'ejection would mean that the Senate itself
destroys that beautiful illusion of student democ
racy it has tried to build up in the minds of stu
dents as well as citizens throughout the state who
have a natural Interest in the College
