Cabinet Declines
To Stale Opinion
On Sunday Movies
All-College Cabinet voted
against taking a stand on the
question of Sunday movies in
State College at its meeting last
night because a majority of the
voting members felt they were
obliged to discUss the issue with
the people they represent.
A motion for a straw vote
which would express persohal
• opinion only was voted down by
a 9 to 5 count. Thus the issue, and
the stand that student govern
ment will take- on it, will neces
sarily remain a puzzle - until Cab
inet meets again next week.
Cabinet ratif)ed another mo
tion put on the floor which called
for the recommendation to Wind

the. elections on November 9. By
failing to participate in the straw

as to how it would like the Wind

Upon the motion of Edward
Banyai, Cabinet members voted
unanimously to make , student
government co-sponsors of the
project which will bring Norman
Thomas to the campus for a lec
