In this case, the IMA and Philotes were tramped upon none too gently, and probably were justified in howling. The problem of representation of independent men and women on All-College Cabinet has be come increasingly difficult. When Philotes, an independent social club on campus, ■ was suppos edly representing the entire independent women gi;oup with its 50-odd members, the remainder of the campus and off-campus independent women complained that they had no representation. The IMA was a similar case, but still striking ly different. Here we see an organization which totals about 700 members, but only members who belong to house or rooming units may be IMA members. This restricted independent repre-. mentation on Cabinet to those men'who. belonged to an IMA unit! ' . ■However, in justice to: IMA, this group ’ has sponsored more independent functions and has progressed more during this year than at any time in its history. Still, this advantage cannot alone offset the cry of independent men for ade quate representation. i .On the other side of the fence, the Penn State" club opposes the IMA plan of. representation. This independent club consists mostly of inde pendent men who are not attached to an IMA unit. Thus, both are- independent organizations, hut contrast each other in operation. This presented a puzzle to All-College Cabinet. No complete representation of independent men 'would be on Cabinet if either the IMA or Penn State club were the Cabinet representative. This same problem threw itself into the face of Cab inet in the question of independent women repre sentation. Neither IWA nor Philotes could fill those shoes. So, toes were tramped upon. In one case, if may have been justified, because Philotes, with their small organization could not carry out the women’s program. With the. IMA representa tion, its program may have been efficient and well-handled, but it covered only- one phase of independent men activity. .The new "by-law provides for all independent men and women to vote for their representative at" All-College elections.' The women will have their candidates nominated'by the’ WSGA Nom inating Committee, while the competing men will be the respective presidents of the IMA and the Penn State Club. This new type of representation will include all independent men and women’s choices. It will give them a full-voiced opportunity to select the person whom they believe will better serve them. It gives them a chance to knit and solid ify their independent groups which now are tear ing at each other’s throats. To accomplish' the purposes of guiding inde pendent action through one channel, All-College Cabinet has suggested to the independent groups, particularly the men, that they form a council from executive committees, and thus pave the road for independent expression to come through one avenue. The plan may have its faults, and probably glaring ones. But to us, it cannot be worse than the stupid arrangement of only one independent group representing all independent groups on Cabinet, with no means of transferring ideas or Cabinet suggestions to non-vepresented organi zations. This is a step, and,-we believe, the right-one! Downtown Office. 119-121 South Frazier St. Phone 4372 Louis H.

The First National Bank Of State College Member of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation SATURDAY, MARCH 21, 1942 By GOES T. RYDER' MR. AND MRS. NORTH, a comedy in three acts by Owen Davis, presented in Schwab Aud itorium by the Penn State Play ers under ' the direction of Law rence E: Tucker, Friday, March 20. Scene design by Dorothy B. Scott. Technical supervision by Stanley Dahowski. “Pleasant” m&iy sound like an inappropos adjective for a murder mystery that has two victims foul ly done in by the villain of the ■piece, but that seems the best de scription of last night’s offering by the Players. As Detective Mullins ruefully observes to Lieu tenant Weigand, the principalis are all entirely too nice to be mix ed up in such a nasty business, and if it hadn’t been for Mrs. North the police probably never would have found the murderer— which would have been too bad because the representatives of the law are pleasant people, too. It’s a good thing, though, that the murders occurred in such civ ilized circles because as a strict- aid Haimsohin and • Harold Raab,. in smaller roles, give quitel a lift when things threaten to sag a bit. Mr. Tucker’s direction is sharp and sure. The cast seems to know exactly what to do and, in most cases, how to do it. A few of the characters could probably have been .developed a little iriore clearly, but the show moves along at a nice pace and the few hitches that appear lie principally-in the script.
