(Cabinet And Pollock Circle
Cabinet, at its first meeting of the
tcprine; semester, decided that Pollock Circle should
!be denied a :Voting membership in Cabinet. Perhaps
it would be 'best to here explain not only the Pol
't,.)ck Circle Council's reasons for thinking th e group
for such representation, but also Cabinet's
venson Par r efusing it to them.
• The Pollock Circle Council's reasons for
wanting a seat on Cabinet, as e xplained by the
representatives they sent to Cabinet last semes
ter, are contained in two points: (1) Pollock
Circle is the largest living group on campus,
and as such (2) needs special representation to
care for its peculiar problems.
Had Cabinet wished to grant the request an
Ltimendment to the constitution would
taave• been necessary.
Cabinet refused the request because (1) Pol
lock Circle is merely a campus living group and
othe r campus living groups do not have special
representation on campus; (2) Pollock.. Circle
residents already have •representation on Cab-

Far too often an extra question from en
energetic classmate, or the professor who
wishes to stress just one mbrq point, makes a
student late to his next class.
No professor: erjoyis the, members of his class
trouping in late but now frequently the professor
who insists on promiptnesS habitually keeps his
class five to seven minultes later than scheduled.
There is a definite need,for letting the peal' as
well as the students know what time the class
sfhould be dismissed.
inei through class presidents, ISC, IFC, and
their student councils.
Cabinet members felt that, should they grant a
seat to Pollock Circle, other living grobps might
feel juslified in requesting the same privilege. They
explained that mer e size should not entitle Pollock
Circle to special/representation.
Cabinet felt that Pollock Circle residents eculd be
adequately represented through IFC, ISC, and other
groups. •
Upon questioning Frank Tidona, ISC president, it
was found that few PoHeck Circle residents take
active part in that .organization, even though the
majcrity of them fall f n the category of indepen
dent students.
Several members of Cabinet expressed the opin
ion tihat, if the residents of Pollock Circl e do not
take part in the activities of the groups already
representing them on Cabinet, they could not be en
titled to special representation just because they
have organized themselves as a separate unit.

How About a Story
For Engineer!
Could you write a technical
article about lipstick shades? How
about types of, campus coeds?
These arc articleS which have
won' in the Penn State Engineer
contest in the past.
First prize of $l5 and second
prize- •$lO given away by
the Engineer monthly for a
"technical" article which would
"interest an engineer."
"What people fail to -realize,"
said Herbert Locke, publicity
manager of the Engineer, "is that
articles that interest anyone in
terest an engineer, and that tech
nical erticles needn't be on engi
neering subjects. Some such mis
conception may have kept persons
from entering the contest."
Deadline for articles is the .fifth
of the month of issue. Articles
coming in after the fifth of a
month are automatically entered
in the next month's contest. En
tries should be turned in at Stu
dent Union or the Engineer Of
fice. Articles should be not less
than 2500 words, written in ink
or typed on x 11 paper.
