IPropoW knals Plan
11s Timeliy and Sound
The .proposed $13 , ,000 three-class .mural project
which H. Leonard Krouse, senior class president,
'presented in an All-College Cabinet meeting
:Tuesday night is one 'of the few good suggestions
,have.been made for a permanent andlast
3ng memorial to Penn State. •
. Many .class gifts to the College haVe faded into
::insignificance with the expansion 'of College in»
terests-andbuildings. But here is an opportunity
for :three classes' to write their gift ! permanently
uporthe walls of Old Main. Krause said TueS-
Oday night., ".1 1 / 2 s long as Old Main stands, this
6 : three-way xnemorial would remain as a 'lasting
e•
-tribute to the College and. a pictorial. presentation.
:`Of its history."
Other .poteritiEd class gifts may be' as good as
be .mural projegt, but they are not as timely.
L.AVhere -these class gifts may be presented at any
:time, the mural project :has-a. .strict time element
. •
, included. Henry Varnum Poor cannot be kept
-.forever. Other commissions as 'lengthy es "ours
:'could requisition his time.
The decision of the three class presidents to
Airesen t. the issue before a class vote is comme-nd
,lable. The presidents do not wish .to dictate the
,'dispensation of class funds; they make no -attempt
`lti influence the -classes in accepting 'the -idea 'as
""the only .one which is noteworthy; -they do not
%v!‘krant to crowd out other important- projects.
However, the -presidents did consider it :neces
iiHary to take irninediate -action :in proposing a plan.
:so far, •has the timeliest and most. impor-
Atant value as a class
.gift to the ,college.' - The
Atstablishing of Poor as an artist-in-residence and
willingness to instruct -students
Aar work would create -an. added. 'incentive -to -the
—mural .project. •
Since the present mural was meant as a part of
a series of .murals, and since it depicts only Penn
State in its ;early - pioneering.-days, the •proposed.
'murals would picture the progression of Penn
state from a 'Farmers' High. School to a cliver
sifiod university,
Krouse asked the IUI-College Cabinet for per
to hold a special class election on Thurs.-
day, rriday, and Saturday, December 11, t 2, and
13, The election would follow - the fr•::shman
elections which will be held Wednesday, Deccan
-1)er.10. The question would be placed Upon in••
diviltud ballots for each class, and the class
would vote af; a unit. If any class - refuses to
participate in the three-way project, the proposed
)nurals would be defeated.
Krouse and the other two presidents intend to
sponsor the mural project, not as a movement to
'stave off other suggestions, but as a .project
...Whin appears to need immediate attention and
worthwhile consideration.
The presidents of the classes invite consid,era
tion and we recommend It. The mural in Old
Main has attrac!ed much favorable publicity for
.l'etni State, {I) id the proposed murals would

Maybe Cabinet Was Dna% That Med?
This drinking business which Cabinet has stir
red up seems to be confounding confusion. The
only practical result which, their action had over
the weekend was to make drinking more ex
pensive. Now, you've got to invite a chaperon in
for a drink everytime you mix 'em.
Realizing the necessity .for • rescuing the regu
lation of student drinking from the maze of rules
and opinions promulgated by WSGA, IFC, the
dean of men, and the dean of women, Cabinet's
action might have ,been necessary. However,
in the way it was presented, the All-College law
merely added to the hodge-podge of undnforded
legislation. If Cabinet had been sincere, it would
have given more time to the consideration of the
problem- and would have confronted students
and administration with a well-written code,..de
fining exactly the limits of its jurisdiction, pre
scribing the proper judicial treatment, and pro
vidint for punishment that would fit the crime.
A •complete revision of -Cabinet's anti-drinking
code is indicated. The revision tshould make
clear exactly •what jurisdiction: -it 'covers , and
eliminate conflict with the'codes Of other quasi
governmental groups.
Think twice next time, Cabinet. Student gov
ernment based on hasty,lll-considered•legislation.
only weakens the foundationon which such goV
ernment rests.
