Prexy, years ago you Came to this land-grant College from the mountains of New England, to a campus where student leaders looked at you with Cautious eyes. You started your job and before the year was out, ;the campus gathered•atyour door to call you 9Prexy." The campus still does. f.! •ar iPrexy, you came to thig campus with the belief that young America was the hope of - future Am erica: You had a belief that these "kids" could govern themselves in this democracy of ours. To day, Penn State is known as one of the strongest centers of student government, by students and tior students, in this country. Prexy, we come to you today with our old title of affection, respect in our hearts, but a searing question in our minds. We believe in democracy. Some of us will be graduated and we'll die for democracy. We want it here and now, at Perm State. We believe you want it for us. • The foundations of student democracy on this campus are today being attacked, Prexy. Aside groin the petty detailS of constitutionality and who made what typographical errors, we believe the PSCIA-All-College Cabinet conflict has evolved into a 'supreme test case of whether our ideal of self-government at Penn State is to be a mockery or a reality. Prexy; not this year, or last year, but through many years past, student leaders have had a vision of a sound method of self-control; they wanted to folloW the cautious administrative viewpoint you had shown to them. They wanted all student _ac tivities to be on a sound financial basis. Slowly the Associated Activities office came into being. Student activities represented in +he student gov ernment, in addition to those not represented, crowded to take advantage of a plan which would safely and competently account for and audit their funds. Until today, Prexy. • Until the PSCA decided not merely to refuse All-College Cabinet accounting of their funds, but 13) go to the Senate Committee on Student Wel l) re and challenge the right of Cabinet to main- ti in. power. Prexy, this is not a Constitution at stake. This i - ; - ; not a auestion of whether or not PSC:A ack-now :lA.ges its responsibilities as a student activity. PeexY, this is a challenge to democracy on the Penn State campus. We're fighting a war for democracy. Oregon has been bombed. This )I,wspaper you are reading was put out during a ickout. PrexY, what is going to happen to democracy at ;Rmn State? This is what the PSCA says. It says the All- College Constitution has loopholes in it. It says Cabinet has no says to dictate to its member oritivities, It says if the Constitution was legally imprenable, the All-College Cabinet could not t.r , :&"?l'cise this power. rrhis i; what wa say, Proxy. We say that stu- Midst blackouts (okay; have it your way), dim outs, rubber salvages, and stamp corsages, we come through with the following jingle concern ing life in general at Penn State. I IT Fivshman Fantasy All in a dither last Saturday p. m. about meet ing their first Penn State coeds, three froshmen sat twiddling their thumibs in Mac Hall lobby. Another bedinked lad wandered vaguely through the portals. He puckered up his face in quizzical fashion. "How do I get my date, boys," - he ad dressed his brothers under the dink. "if hat men can do it, so can we," the three cronies mused. "Go up the stairs and ask at the desk." . Eddie Hitchins pointed out the directions. The lad climbed the steps. Feminine screams echoed throughout the building. Unabashed, but red, the youngster dismounted, saying, "There's no desk up there." _Milton Dolinget Daytime Drivel Pearl Koplovitz, Ali Phi prexy, is wearing a Phi Ep badge as bestowed recently by Mervin Quartner.

Who is Penn State's new stocking girl? —THE CUB Coeds Give Up Socks MADISON, WIS.—(ACP)—Most women are guarding their hose 'like precious jewels these days, but six University of 'Wisconsin coeds have abatndoned socks for campus wear and are giving their hose special endurance tests. Jean Henkel, assistant in . the home economics department, has been conducting the experiment since November to determine which kind of hose now available- will wear the longest. The coeds, selected because they walk 'a lot, aide wearing mercerized cotton, nylon, and silk stockings an equal number of times, keeping a daily report chart on snags and runs. • Results of the study will be submitted for a master's thesis, Miss Henkel explained. The girls follow detailed instructions for washing and general care, use the same type of soap powder, and note effects of high heels and oxfords. A certain number of "mends" are allowed, but so far the only casualties have been the silk hose. dents want their activities governed by Cabinet. An overwhelming vote on the PSCA situation proves this true. We say that if the Constitution is imperfect, the students will correct this through their proper channels. But,, Prexy, we say that PS'CA•challenges the very basic power of the stu dent democracy on this campus by its action of going to the Committee on Student Welfare. Our government gets its power from its people who are dying for it. The student body at Penn State must get its power from the administration of this land-grant College. Pretty, what is going to happen to democracy at Penn State? • THE DAILY COLLEGIAN : a te Lion • A "," Tales I wanna go in swimmin' I wanna drink my beer I wanna - meet some .wimmin' wanta get some cheer But Doggies' doors are closed to - me Joe's matric card doesn't click IMy tires gave out in misery Oh Gawd, it makes me sick.
