THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 11, 1947-STATE COLLEGE, PENNA
Senate Group
Denies YPCA
Student Charter
College Policy Shuns
Political Favoritism
The Senate Committee on Stu
dent Welfare yesterday denied
the petition of the Young Pro
gressive Citizens of America for
a charter as a student organiza
tion.
The committee adopted the re
port of a sub-committee consist
ing of Arnold J. Currier, associate
professor of chemistry, chairman;
Arthur J. Warnock, dean of men;
and Thomas J. Lannen, All-
College President.
The YPCA,' however, was
granted the privilege of holding
business meetings in College
buildings as an informal group.
In its report, the sub-committee
stated that "a study of the state
ment of purposes of the Progres
sive Citizens of America indicates
that though it is non-partisan in
the sense that it is allied with no
political party, its objectives are
political; that is, it exists for the
purpose of organizing support for
legislation which it favors and
for candidates for public office
which it favors."
"As stated in the By-Laws of
Young Progressive Citizens of
America 'the young voters and
pre-voters division of the Pro
gressive Citizens of America shall
be named the Young Progressive
Citizens of America."
A section of the YPCA consti
tution submitted with the petition
stated that "The national consti
tution of the Young Progressive
Citizens of America . . .. shall be
binding 9n this organization.
The report pointed out that the
sub-committee recognized "the
purposes of the parent organi
zation and this student organiza
tion as being legitimate and com_
mendable in citizenship educa
tion, its specific question is as to
whether or not a student organi
zation with such purposes and
objectives should be granted rec
ognition as a chartered campus
organization to use rooms in Col
lege buildings for its meetings, to
use College auditoriums for meet
ings open to the public, to use the
name of the College in its organi
zation name, and to particiapte in
campus activities as an organized
unit.
"The College by its very nature
is concerned with the citizenship
education of its students, and
has both encouraged and pro
vided opportunities by means of
which both students and faculty
members may have the benefit of
objective discussions of issues in
the political field.
"The College tries, in short to
keep itself aloof from partisan

Band to Miss
New Year's Tilt
The Blue Band will not accom
pany the football team to the Cot_
ton Bowl, it was stated late yes
terday afternoon by Harold R.
Gilbert, graduate manager of
athletics.
After much discussion, a com
mittee representing the Athletic
Association in conference with
representatives of the College ad
ministration, and on the sugges
tion of certain student leaders,
reached the decision yesterday.
In a telephone call to Prof.
Hummel Fishburn, head of the
music department and director
of the Blue Band, Mr. Gilbert
explained that because of the ex
pense of the trip it would not be
wise to take the organization to
Dallas.
Asked for an estimate of the
expense that would be entailed in
sending the 80-piece band to the
Cotton Bowl, Professor Fishburn
said that to finance such a trip
would require a minimum of
$12,000.
Mr. Gilbert declined to com
ment further on the grounds that
an additional statement "might be
misunderstood."
