On Drinking “Has the All-College Cabinet lost its teeth or is it shamming on the drinking situation?” is the question, asked, by students, To. that inquiry there is a definite “No!” . Cabinet, realizing its responsibility in Initiating its drinking legislation, is wary of making mis takes. It does not w;ant to set up, machinery which.-will conflict \yith its representative units, nor does it want to tramp upon ithe toes of College jurisdiction. Student government is making no attempt to establish a moral code. That is an individual 'task instead, of a governmental one. It does not want ito set up a prohibition period where parked, ears and roadhouses will be frequented by stud ents who “wanj: a drink.” Cabinet does not want to be policemen where every drink is a violation. Xt does not care to_ be a father,- mother, and nursemaid. - What then is the purpose of the drinking legis lation? If it is not aimed as a moral issue, what other motive does Cabinet have? ' The answer is simple. The action. of every Penn State student is an action which, reflects and places responsibility upon the character of the entire student body. Penn St.ate is both an individual and collective agency. It represents the thought of one or 7,000 students. It bears the responsibility of one or 7,000 students. Cabinet recognized this. It saw that the great est potential sore spot in Penn State’s reputation could be the drinking situation. Cabinet acted quickly. It did not say to students, “Don’t drink because, drinking is bad or immoral." But it did say, “We, as a student governing body, are responsible for your actions when you are under the influence of liquor.’' However, the method of curbing mixed drink- ing could, not be determined until all organiza tions gaye. their interpretation.' This takes time. Last Tuesday night, this phase was ironed out when itjip. College, WSGA, liyiA, IFC, and other groups expressed their stand regard to the forming of drinking legislation. How can Cabinet enforce its regulation? The best yray. ip. t<?. d,se its Qrganizatipps as. die spores of a central judiciary body. Minor infractions and viplatjqns qan fall under the, jurisdiction q£ a pardontan body, but major violations can be tried by a Cabinet judiciary body. If a repre sentative group does not enforce its individual code, Cabinet has the power to crack down on' that -group, Investigations by Cabinet pan be made at any time and it is empowered to see that its drinking code is carried out. Not only dogs Cabinet cover the entire student body in a blanket law. but it supplements both WSGA and IFC drinking codes and institutes a common code instead of two or three varying ones. WSGA may believe that it has no jurisdiction on women who arc- over 21 years of age, but Cabinet realizes that every student who attends Penn State is responsible as a student to, the institution for his actions. Therefore, a women over 21 shears of age still is subject to Cabinet rulings if she participates in mixed drinking. The answer to many questions is still unknown. These questions will be answered with, the im provement of the present legislature. But one thing is certain, That is the resolution of Cabinet to protect its student government, and students as .individuals, from the blaming of Penn State as a “ilrinkiru; college-.’' ..-David Samuels -.Gordon.

A few golden lights added a warm glow to the muffled chatter of a dozen stud ents, returning to their alma nutter. The elderly woman sitting beside me was quiet ly listening to the conversations going on all about us. I caught snatches of that inane chit-chat called, “undergraduate patois.” Abruptly the womqn turned and asked me, “Don’t college students ever talk about anything more important than dates, bands, or sports? Aren’t they at all concerned about what happens in the vest of the world?” I qualified her questions by explaining that those were a special kind of college students. These, I pointed out, were of the species Nittany Valliensis. No, I answered, those creatures hard ly ever thought of anything else but physical exercise. ' I pointed out that it had not always been way. In the balmy pinkish days before the .war, Penn State students, under the diligent prodding of such men as Dugan, Froth’s last great editor, participated •in peace strikes, joined movements, thought about national and international prob lems—in general acted more like socially con scious men and women found in other great halls of learning. Then, yesterday, I met and spoke to Jack Mac- Michael, former president of the National Inter collegiate Christian Council and present head of the American Youth Congress. Listening to him tell of the great strides made in the South toward political equality by both white and Negro youth, of the heroic struggles of the youth of China to educate themselves as future leaders of a reborn nation, I reopened the question in my mind. How is it that the students of China, most of whom have barely enough to subsist on, sacrifice to send aid to the students of Europe while Penn State quibbles about sending a few dollars abroad?’ Chinese students are going without food so that aid can be sent to then - war-stricken fellow students in Europe. B in the peaceful calm of our Pennsylvania hills, we sit and split hairs about sending desperately needed help ito China,. Other colleges the country over are actively aiding the defense effort. Other university stud ents are making themselves be heard on great national policies which will eventually effect them. You or your boyfriend is going to be called soon to beconie part of an armed force designed to'de fend, ourselyes and similarly thinking people fropr fascist aggression. Why, in the name of the Lion Shripe pr some similarly stupid ideal, don’t you try to find out what the hell it’s all about, » 1 1 H It Personal If I CHRISTMAS i I .
