oes Cabinet Have Power?
./IJ4 the present term of All-College Cabinet
c.b . w..'s to a close, once again the student body will
st..m. the political horizon to find prospective
politicos who will take the leadership in student
government affairs for the coming year.
For the outgoing Cabinet, 1942 has been an un
-1.1;14.1ally eventful year. No other Penn State student
government group of the past was called upon to
...t•nalKe the large number of legislative Changes that
;I,ave been necessary this year in gearing campus
Rife to cone with the accelerated program, and
war-time emergencies.
On several occasions, Cabinet has been attacked
or formulating inferior legislation, but on the
other hand, this same student governing body has
a)so drawn up commendable programs. However,
lime and space will not betaken to delve into the
4cood and bad points of the retiring Cabinet. •
' One question might be cleared up, if for no
-other reason than to give the new leaders a clean
I - 4tart. Occasionally, some student will come forth
with the question,. "Where does Cabinet get its
..rower? Or, why can this small-group of. students
tell us what to do?"
. First of. all, Cabinet does not consider itself an
nil-powerful body, which must. continually tell the
student body what the latter may and may not do.
Basically, Cabinet has its powers well defined in
the All-College constitution, which has been ac-
Cepted by both students and the Administration.
)1 at any time there is reason to believe that stu
dent government is over-stepping its bouhds, then
Wth the Administration and the students have a
right to step in and demand changes.
Student government, just as our federal govern
ment, can remain powerful only when it has the
support of the governed, and when this support
collapses, student government can no longer re
th in its constitutional power.
Last Of The Looper
. by Student Tribunalth e NlT
state Forestry Society $25 fOr the War Stamp
:Fund gives All-College Cabinet an additional
)tower—that to regulate what shall be painted on
campus walks. However, Cabinet since passed a
that_no whitewash or paint shalt be applied
to campus property in the future, and last night's
yuliug will uphold that law, too.
About two weeks ago, members of the ForeStry
:1),all committee whitewashed campus walks with
)hops symbolic of the Hemlock Looper, a promo
tion device for the dance. The whitewashing,
ever. was in violation of a ruling by All. jollege
Cabinet last year which stated that • any
campus
01 . 1.4.Lmizations desiring" to paint
. ',": 0 - ll ege property
most first• apply to the abinet executive corn
for peryjdoton.
When Cabinet tla - ,-ed the ruling last year, it was
;001,- what in dr,ibt as to the constitutionality of
the rulitlig.:Ait wont ahead with it anyway. Cab
inet ouite sure it had power to dictate what
out be put on walks or property. For a whole
i.ft . -at• was avoided until the foresters violated it,
then refused to act in accordance with Tribunal's
action last week that the paint be removed.
A. meeting of College Cabinet and Forestry com
)o ittue representatives yesterday resulted in giv
ing Cabinet power to make rules concerning mark
ings on walk=. The Forestry Society will comply

This column is rapidly degenerating (or im
proving) into a contrib column for budding fresh
man poetesses. Here we go again:
Penelope is my proCtOr; she shall not want noise
She maketh me to stay in my room;
She leadeth me astray during quiet how
She restoreth my.campus;
She leadeth me by the ear to our hostess
Yea, ihottgli I walk into the john at night,
I will Year no 'evil, for she art in bed;
Her rod and her staff they frighten me.
She preparest a campus before me in the pres-
Louie EL Bet
She annointest my room with hot air; my mouth
Surely Penelope and Judicial shall follow me
And•l shall dwell in Smack Hall every weekend
