Pa uniter the act of March 3. 1873 t Friday, Octobei 27, 1939 RESTING THE CASE “FORENSIC COUNCIL, conforming by sound principles of debate, recently pre sented its case to the student body in An Open Letter -Just what effect this letter will have on student opinion concerning the debate fee is questionable. Whether the authorizations for the meth od in which the debate funds were spent are Justifiable or, not, the Collegian, too, leaves to the student body to decide. The opinion of the Collegian remains unchanged. “With that ihuch of the case at rest, it is the suggestion of “calm, deliberate action by a joint faculty-student committee" which is now the issue V\ ithout the approval of the All-College Cabinet such a committee would have no power to render an official decision or sug gestion And approval looms doubtful in view of the fact that administrative offi cials and faculty members ai e in precarious positions when serving on committees q;t this type without the official advice and consent of the President of the College Does it not seem logical to permit Cab inet to reach a decision, submit it to the Board of Trustees through the President, and, if Forensic Council or the Glee Club should seek further consideration, allow ei thci organization to petition the President for additional investigation? - Opposing factions have each exchanged blasts Let’s rest the case OFF WITH THE OLD SYMBOLIC OF a new era in campus pol itics, a new paity—the ’43 All-College Pai ty—came into being last Thursday night. I Abandonment of the old Campus. Clique banner indicates a movement that has been lqng overdue at Penn State—a breakdown of the old fratei mty versus non-fraternity setup. No student body can function at maximum efficiency when two strong groups are diametrically opposed. This year the old party lines are appar ently being obliterated. Many fraternity freshmen have joined the independent par ty; the party chairman is a fraternity man. Many independents have cast their lot with the ’43 All-College group. ~ With parties organized on a new basis, BALANCE OF POWER may be effected which will center attention on issues, not affiliation. No longer will all independents vote Independent and all fraternity men vote Campus “just to show those bums who’s running this college!” - Perhaps sincere cooperation between fraternity men and non-fratermty men is about to become a reality. The Collegian firmly hopes this is true For through such cooperation the in creased welfare of the whole student body —the 5,000-odd individuals included in the name ALL-OOLLEGE —is assured.
