A New 'Coat
The All-Cc llege cJnstitution is gasping its last
.fl J re ath !
Basically sound and idealistically reasonable,
The constitution needs a shot in the arm in order
I:to cope with present-day All-College Cabinet leg
slation. To many loopholes, too many uncle
..
lined articles have thrown the Cabinet into
ray in / their efforts to interpret .alnd understand
.the constitution.
• In undertaking to revise the constitution, the
Cabinet has' indicated that it will not disturb the
• princiPles which underlie, :but will only clarify
(I,hose amenaMents and aiticles which have creat
,ed confusion. ln fact, it is the purpOse of the
.;Cabinet to leave ee . ferything 'unchanged ,unless.
~(here is a need for further interpretation or e?c
-planation.
Only the rewording, the readjustinlent of the
constitution will'be the prime motive of Cabinet.
•
With the sudden thrust of war into Vann 'State
the creation of the third semester, All-Col
?.ege Student Government will suffer. Many
p•oblems which did not face other Cabinet groups
Cabinet
Piave quickly and noisily upset Cabinet legislation
because them has been no provisiim made in the
present constitution for such emergency measures.
• Like a coat that is tattered, the constitution,
..tr.iust be sent to the tailor. Some of the seams
rp:e bursting under a heavy load and others are
r,.) weak that they must be reinforced. The war
ras. hurried the trip to the tailor.
The committee on by-laws started to attack a
ecremendous job this year. It soon discovered
that so many loopholes had been uncovered that
it would be impossible to establish by-laws until
closer and more snug-fitting constitution was
drawn up. When the committee presented by-
Jaws to the All-College Cabinet, it was never
certain of its grounes, nor was it certain that the
ntierpretation of its by-laws would be the same
4)y the student body.
With its back to the wall and entangled in the
,!loose •and vague. definitions of Cabinet and stu
dent governing powers, the committee was forced
•to call for a - revision of the constitution. . That
evision will be one of clearer and more concise
understanding of the powers of the Penn State
I:itudent Government Association.
The best way to accomplish the-revision of the,
i constitution seems tc be the one that was taken
py Cabinet on Tuesday night. First, the corn
inittee on by-laws will gtudy the constitution, -at
,Lempt to .interpret it in understandable language,
and coordinate the constitution into a fleible,
,;vet rock-bound organ. The committee will not
ttein.pt to change, but rather clarify and tie the
loose knots into a compact unit.
After the committee has revised the constitu
'Lion, it will present :t to the Cabinet for approval
and further suggestions. This will be supple
> iented by a public meeting where all students
offer their reco)nmendations and suggestions.
'Ehe proposed constitution will return to the Cab
inet for more revision, more active debating by
Cabinet members and other interested students.
',he final proposed constitution must be passed
1), a two-thirds Cabinet vote. Finally, the stu
body will vote upon the constitution in spring
t2le, Lions. A majority vote is necessary.
.tVoere students were attempting to push their
brough the constitutional muddle, the re
, be() .onstitution will at least clet-i up some per-

LA Council 01/ The 1)(17/
The Liberal Arts Council certainly took a beat
ing, and with good reason, on both edges of this
page yeSterday morning.
In the editorial column, the Liberal . Arts poli
ticos were held up as a horrible example of un
justified existence. Then, in the Campus Caien-'
dar •department, , the Council further indicted
it
self by providing evidence ..of its futility. Two
items, both annolincing a meeting of the Liberal
Arts Council, were included In the calendar. One
announcement gave the place of meeting as .3.18
Old Main, while the other proclaimed that the
'Council Would. convene in Room 305 of the *sair‘
building. The meeting in Room 318 w_ as called
.. „..
for p.- m., the oLher for Bp. m.
Reprimands are ,due the underlings
.of the
..
Col
legian staff. Tbese youngsters should .hp, , ve
enough to check up on the repOrts. However,
since making up the Calendar is largely a matter
of mechanically. listing events .reported to the
Collegian office, perhaps they are entirely free
from blame.. Then again, perhaps they correctly
appraised the Council and reasoned that nobody
would know which was correct and so published
them both.
Louis H. Bell
To top Off this faux pas, the Liberal Arts Coun
cil secretary sent out cards to the members on
which he announced the meeting place and date,
but forgot to mention the time. chances' are,
though, that he didn't forget at all. Simply didn't
have the faintest idea.

roll and learned to its dismay that exactly four
out of .the 28 sweaters were fit to use. The rest
of them had four inch arms,' 10 inch waists, 20
inch necks, pieces tacked on backwards or Up
side, down, or some other affliction. It wasn't
bad enough that only four were usuable.. The
worst of it is tha;: the other •24 have to be 'undone
and remade.
According to responsible parties, the current
opinion of Penn State knitters is that they have
not the slightest idea of how a man's put together,
let alone a balbriggm.
