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.
OLD MANIA
This dept received a contubution via one of our
secret channels and we think its' pietty good Real
izing the need to stu up some jack for that Lion
skm eveiybody’s talking about but doing nothing
materially to aid, tlnee young geniuses put their
heads together one afternoon in the cum and de
cided to write a song They felt that if the song
were published in the Muniac column and every
body in school learned the words by next Fuday
night, Dean Grant wodld lead in song at the Pep
Rally in Rec Hall And when he does, by gollv,
they’ll give ’till it huits This is wheie the hat men
will step m They’ll use those hats to good ad
vantage and collect enough odd nickels and dimes
to buy a mink skill, not alone a meie lion skin
The wnteis, of couise, didn’t wntc any music
but simply the veises and they say that it is to
be sung to the tune of The Nittany Lion Inci

Theie’s something very impoitant, howevei, that
we forgot to mention The last two lines of the
song weie nevei wntten, because the wnteis and
Harris couldn’t think of a punch ending We filled
them in just to make it even-looking, but we admit
now that they’ll stink as fai as Dean Giant is
concerned if and when he in the choius
Now, if any of you smaities can think of two

need dark glasses and £LSunbonnet
to get to the new buildings Things
are done the architects’ way here
Buildings are not built to meet the

He may not be even consulted No
tice how Frear Laboratory kills
the beautiful view'from the agri

bers are not consulted about the
needs of course or students when
classes are scheduled
Speaking of trees, it is the same
down town There is no room for
trees but plenty for ugly parking
meters One rarely sees any criti
cism of much of anything in the
local paper.
Campus cops or citizenship signs
might educate the students who
are too lazy to not cut corners and
mar the campus
