"' .Advertising. :Manager .--- Friday, Apr , .ll 27; .1945 Improved - Judicial System Several interesting points of consideration have been-raised 'by 'the slightly dogmatic opposition at• the last All-College Cabinet meeting to the Constitution Revision• committee's plan to remove the Judicial Committee ifrom the jurisdiction of M7SGA. This opposition, coincidentally voiced by the ittnSGA representative on Cabinet, consisted main- Ity'of several generalizations to the effect that if Cabinet were to select the members of Judicial, POLITICS would influence the choice. One point that somehow was overlooked in this reasoning is that at present Judicial is appointed by the WSGA Senate, a group which is composed of successful political candidates. Another defense offered for the present sys tem was that Judicial members are chosen in their :freshman year at the College and therefore have four-years in which to gain experience in their du ties. No mention was made, however, as to the wisdom of selecting freshman coeds, naturally ma ture and experienced in the ways of the College, to deal with• the dettcate' problems presented to the Judicial Committee. In the cold light of analysis then, it would'ap pear.that the WSGA representative on Cabinet has. lost—sight -of her most important responsibility. it - is•not.so much-her job: to put up a .bulldog-like -defense of WSGA, which is not being encroached -upon; as it is to work for the best interests of 47tudent government in her capacity as a rnem :--tter4of •AII-College Cabinet. Support Spring Athletics 'Within a few . days the spring athletic. season will get under way at the College. This year Penn Slate participate in baseball, track, and la crosse intercollegiate competition. There has been a decided- drop in sports attendance figures since the beginning of the war. A:definite lack o•f enthusiasm on the part of stu dents also has been a sore spot for three years. Now is the time for school spirit to be revived at athletic contests in the spring. The presence of two or three cheeerleaders and a considerable section of the student body would do much to .show the athletes that the College is behind them. Perhaps the athletic records could also be improv ed in that manner. So try to attend as many athletic games as you A - x%ssibly can each weekend this semester. Faculty Salary Problem The recent fight in Harrisburg for higher sal aries in Pennsylvania's high schools proves that 4he College faculty is not the only underpaid tea ching body in the state. Although committees have been appointed by the administration and the schools to study the .imlary problem here at the College, there is no ttarantea that their recommendations will be ac •copted. For example, the Liberal Arts. Postwar Plan t i Committee intends to propose a uniform salary scale in the near future to correct the pre- Fent , unequal -salary arrangement. However, the' always-quarreling Liberal Arts faculty will pro- Whir shelve , the idea, as usual, because. it will riat.-ibe.able to unite and compromise on some. of the minor points. It's too bad some of the .educators don't know "what's best for. them." ----- Weaver - ' Rath' Conatad Gloria Nerenberg.: Roseirtary..Ghantous Penn Statehients Half a semester yet to go before vacation. About this time most profs start worrying that they're not going to be able to cover the last chapter in that 800 page textbook. Or else they begin to wonder if their students have been working as hard as students should for three cre dits. At any rate the faculty, comes to the following decision. To as- sign a few more book reports, make longer assignments, pop more quizzes, and announce that next blfuebook. As I was saying it is a well known fact that six hours of sleep are not necessary.
