AGE TWO Engineers Going Modern ? There has been considerable criticism recently v ,;.h regards to the manner in which the school c 1 actions have been conducted. The Liberal Arts (.‘lection resulted in an investigation by Cabinet. .Although the evidence submitted by the commit i,.r: pointed to a fair election, many were still not rmivinced of its validity. Now, the Engineering School announces an election in the near future (yesterday’s Col- T.egian) and the procedure they are following an nominating candidates is questionable. Ap parently their election committee has not profited by the mistakes of others. Why. we do not know. Instead of holding the routine meeting to nomi iate students for the council positions, the Engi ieers are going modern; they’re going to phone i.otninations to the chairman of the Councils elec ion committee. ' We don't say that it will happen, it is possible that anyone able to use a telephone L&hters-~Prom the ‘Editor s Mailbox WSGA Report TO ALL WOMEN STUDENTS OF PENN STATE: ; As 'representatives from Pehn State’s Women . .fitiident Government Association to the 11th Bi- ; orniel Conference of the Intercollegiate Association of Women Students held at the University of.; •Minnesota on April 10, 11, and 12, we wish to re- Collegfraini Gazette .Ail calendar items must be in the Dally Collegian office by 4:30 pjm. on the day pre ceding publication.

THE DAILY COLLEGE AN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA. could nominate a person for the council. The Engineers wouldn't want this to happen, and neither would we. As long as it's their elec tion and their council, outside intervention should be eliminated. It may be true that most Engineers carry full schedules, and don’t have time for meetings, but it wouldn’t be asking too much of them to make this one exception. After all, they wouldn’t have to hold it in the Corner Room, and if they checked at the Campus Patrol office, they may even obtain a room in Sparks for the occasion. t If the Council's election committee can 1 work out this little problem by themselves, it might be well for the all-college elections com mittee to step in and take charge. Who knows, it may save Cabinet another investigation, _ which is an uncomplimentary procedure fol lowing any campus election. > Anyway, meetings aren't half as bad as they sound. port our. activities at this Conference to the women of our school—all of whom are members of our WSGA. The Intercollegiate Association of Women Students (lAWS) is composed of 82 members —or 82 colleges in which women have self governing organizations. Every two years _a National Conference is held, and in the intervening years a Regional Conference is scheduled. At both conferences the present president and the president-elect for the following year are the official' delegates from each women’s governing group, with the present president being the voting delegate. Any advisers who attend from their re spective organizations are in an ex-officio capacity We only wish that every woman at Penn State could have attended the Conference this year. Much valuable information is gained from the inter-exchange of ideas on all phases of women's governments, ideas that are many limes correlated into their o«n governments when the delegates return "home." This yeai’ at the Conference the mornings were devoted to general business meetings, the after noons to specific discussion-groups.; The theme this year was "The Place of WSGA in the Postwar Campus." The discussions were segregated as follows: (i) "How WSGA Renders Service to Stu dents and Campus"—discussed from the point of purposes, objectives, and how these are achieved. We delegates itt»m Penn State and the two delegates, from the University of In diana led this discussion; ' (2)' “What About Membership”; (3) “Problems of Leadership”; (4) “What Should a Successful Pro gram Include”;.(s) “How.to .Gain.Cooperation.and. Integration in Your -WSGA”;- (6) a., general- sum mary of the entire Conference- designed ,as a town halllrhefeting, with our Acting Dean of Women, Dr. Pearl O. Weston, acting as moderator for the group. The general business meetings concerned ' themselves with fhe IAWS itselfj -such as ad mitting new colleges to active membership, amending the lAWS Constitution, etc. ' At one of these general-meetings, .the association voted unanimously to support, the National Con tinuation Committee, which is the group to set the groundwork for the proposed National Students Organization—an organization which will function eventually for the interests-and benefits of-all stu dents in the United States.. Our opinion, after this Conference, is that our own WSGA has one of the best organizational set-ups. of any school represented, at ..this year’s meeting. However,, in our actual program-e-refer ing- to two of the topics turned in’ to us by our House of Representatives for investigation at this Conference, we wish to report as follows: (1) In order io gel our own students id know more aboui WSGA. we need a more extensive publicity system. At the very beginning of this semester, before this Conference, .we realized this need. - ■> Francine Gittelmacher was appointed the head of a committee to draw up the draft for a WSGA booklet, which. Will be ready for distribution-to all , women next fall. ' Although all of our WSGA meetings have been' open to anyone who . wants to attend,’ we hope to publicize this fact of open meetings more, exten sively. Orientation of new women can be more thorough as regards their government. A definite suggestion from' the Conference was that we. could set-up a publicity committee —a standing committee —to inform women of all WSGA problems, functions, and to try to gain more representative participation in all programs and phases of WSGA. (2) In regard to the House of Representatives’ suggestion that WSGA set up a system of what is called ‘‘blanket permissions,” we have a committee investigating this possibility. We delegates took questionnaire forms to the conference with us about such blanket permissions and rules; we distributed them to the many repre sentatives at Minneapolis. With the aid of the dif ferent schools’ suggestions and practices, our com mittee’s. work should be much facilitated with its investigation. „ , It is well to remember that each campus has its own problems and. iis own Solutions to problems. What applies at one college is not necessarily applicable to another. We learned this fact at "the Conference—sortie programs have been most effective at ofie‘ school and a total failure at another. By each one’s taking her share of the responsi bility and work in a democracy and in those' organ izations which make up that .democracy—only then can a program be really.successful.
