En.crui as simnd ulass matter July f> 1914 at the post* off re at State Colkre Pa under the act of March 3, 1879 Tuesday, October 10, 1939 BRIDGING A GAP COOPERATION AGAIN becomes a key woici with the College Senate foimally adopting amendments to its Constitution Tnursday which permit student lepresen tation on active committees of that body The tie between the student body and the Senate has finally been lealized Thus, a climax has come to the student initiated struggle to mold the concrete steps foi the furthei ing of student democ rary which began hei e last Febi uary For yeais, the College has bemoaned ihejack of coopeiation between students and administiation The issue came to a head in the debate over the mid-year vacation last year. At that'time, the Calendar Committee of the Senate, in a dogmatic manner, turned thumbs down on the vacation proposal fail ing to give any reason for their action with •the exception that “It wasn’t a representa tive opinion.” 1 A senes ot ideas, pioposals, arguments, .and the like followed on the heels of such ’a decision, among them being the Lands berg plan to include one undergraduate with voting powei on the Senate This failed to lepiesent a logical view point as the explanation on page six in the Regulations foi Undergraduate Students "published by the Senate reads:,“The work "of the Senate is carried on largely through the medium of standing committees which ’consider in detail matters that come within their lespective jurisdictions, and either lecommend action to the Senate, or, when so empowered by Senate action," act diret ly.” Immediately a counter proposal was of fered by active students. Three non-voting i epresentatives—two men and one woman —to attend all meetings of the Senate and have the right to voice their views was the student proposal With the new outlook, the attitude of the Senate as a whole, indicative of its realiza tion of this transition period, became favor able to student i epi esentation. Despite the tact that the mid-year va cation was junked (this, too, has now been achieved by action taken in Thuisday’s meeting after a bit of bickering over the Thanksgiving holiday), the Senate assumed a fair, broad-minded point of view And this fair, broad-minded point of view leaped into the foreground with the recent adoption of Senate amendments which permit two student representatives, one man and one woman, to serve on three separate standing committees—Student 'Welfare, Public Occasions, and Calendar— in an adusory capacity without vole. Another cooperative endeavor has been achieved and with it comes smoother sail ing in student-faculty-administiation rela tionships IMA IN ACTION POLITELY SECLUDED during frater nity i usliing season, the Independent Men’s Association now swings into official action For the first time in the history of the College, an organized and efficient associ ation of independent men is functioning. It has been recognized by the College, by oth er oigamzations, and most lecently, by the All-College Cabinet. Operating along similar lines to the In terfratei mty Council the IMA is the out growth of a movement started last semes tei to give the independent men the same political, social, and economic advantages that the othei organized men’s associa tion’s have ; ffow it is in the early stages of its in ;itml'year on this campus. Based on such - sound principles and supported by such ca - pable leaders, the IMA looms as a power— a power well-deserving of its recognition.
