Next stop—senior •class presidency. With the new system of student government in only its third year, things have come to a pretty pass when local bigwig politicos openly and avow edly admit that the All-College presidency is sec ondary and of minor importance to the post of (senior class head. Subsidies for class and All-College officers were supposedly regulated by All-College Cabinet last year to prevent this from happening. The senior class president was granted 5350 for his services and the All-College president .was to receive $250. Cabinet no doubt had its reasons for making this $lOO difference in remuneration even in face of the fact that duties and responsibilities of the All-College head are many times that of the class officer. The honor and prestige of the All-College office may be compensation in the eyes of some for that difference. But the gap widens—the (jifferenee assumes ehasmal proportions when it is recognized that the senior class president appoints all committee; —repays cohorts who have supported him. Senior Ball, and Lion's Coats committees pay off well for him as well as for their members. Surely there must, be a way to give the most able candidates incentive to vie for that position which requires the most ability. To End All Gripes Progressive education ranked higher at Penn State with the introduction of a plan by the Lib eral Arts Council, whereby students enrolled in that school may file complaints against Liberal Arts faculty members. Students have griped among themselves too long about the shortcomings of some" of their pro fessors. Complaints about them have run in var- ious channels, and until now, the students have been unable to act. Now, however, the opportunity is offered for students to express their opinions. This action has not been introduced with the idea that they may flaunt minor objections, but with the hope that they will air major grievances. The plan, it is hoped, will enable professors to realize their inefficiencies and help them to cor rect them. On the other hand, it is hoped that students will cease to bull unfavorably about their professors but will present objections so that ac tion may be taken. —JCS What About A Hemisphere Union! Results of a recent campus survey revealed that do % of the student body favor a permanent union of the countries of the western hemisphere, and 40% oppose such a coalition. The survey did not qualify the type of union intended, the method of representation, economic and financial relations, or extent of legislative powers.. Instigation of a just plan for hemisphere organi zation would be a psychological barrier to Hitler’s penetration 'of this continent. The knowledge that he would have to prime his goose-stepping brownshirts against a solid front of armed nations would call his bluff. A union would probably demand economic re strictions and call for developed hemisphere suf ficiency. Whether these measures are desirable is another question, but it is compensatory to re cognize that regulations are sufficiently flexible to be changed when the crisis is removed. But what is more important, a just union, with resultant economic relations and widened cultural activities will not only combat present aggres- Editor • Downtown 11H-121 South Krasko* St. Nbrht Vhono 4‘>T2 . .
