PAGE TWO The Daily Collegian Editorial Editorials end columns appearing in The Daily Collegian represent dm opinions of the writer. Thor mak, no claim to ruff Outrageous TO THE EDITOR: Two weeks ago the fraterni ties were warned to keep cars off the town recrea tion field back of Fairmount avenue and to give town teams first choice in the use of the facilities. On Wednesday, 27 April, when none of these re quests were violated, it was announced that from now on fraternities would not be allowed to use the field. The only reason offered by the town was "This is not a college field; not a fraternity field, but a municipal field." This is outrageous—to put it in sedate language. If the fraternities and inde pendent students, who are direct as well as indi rect contributors to the borough treasury, were to take away this support, the borough would be in sad straits. However this argument has been ad vanced many, many times with no avail. Some thing must be done over and above reasoning in the English language with the town authorities. Why cannot the fraternities, as proposed by the newly elected IFC officers, form a buying coopera tive and, in addition, make all purchases from out of-town concerns? This, and other workable but as yet unorganized plans still in the minds of stu dents, will .speak to the borough in language they will understand. Getting the students an even break in their rela tions with the borough authorities is a job worthy of the best efforts of Collegian and student gov ernment. We contribute financially, but cannot vote; our constructive criticisms are usually rudely shrugged off. What course is left but to take action of this kind? —Nine members of Delta Theta Sigma. Pawns of the Kremlin TO THE EDITOR: The advocates of planned chaos, in the opiate of communism, shield them selves behind the fallacy that communism is the great crusader for civil liberties and world peace. As pawns of the Kremlin, with its intricate net work of world-wide subversive activities, they pour bilge water into the cesspool of hate, with the object in mind of creating class conflict as preached by their potentate—Karl Marx. However, since when in the history of civiliza tion has communism proved itself to be the cru sader for civil liberties? Where are those rights for the 14 million political slaves in Siberia? For Cardinal Mindszenty and counterpart Protestant clergy in Hungary? Where are these rights in the communistic doctrine of anti-Religion? In the slavery of paganism? In the totalitarian state? If ever there was a mad beast turned loose against civil rights it is this communism whose fangs have not respected the person of God and whose coils would crush out the last vestiges of liberty and private property! Civil reforms don't start in the mad orgy of in surrection, they start in the human heart. Never theless, the heretics continue to "advocate" curing the headaches—by cutting off the head. —James M.

Student government, gunetions (Four weeks ago, when the composition of All-College Cab inet was described in this colutnn, space limitations prevented adequate discussion of the functions of student government. This column will attempt an outline of those duties, appropriate now in view of next week's inauguration ceremonies.) All-College Cabinet, highest student legislative body on campus, consists of 22 voting members, as outlined in this column of April 1. It represents the interests and opinions of the student body in deal ings with the faculty and administration. JUDICIARY MATTERS ARE HANDLED BY TRIBUNAL, for men and campus traffic violators, and by Judicial, for women. Pre viously, infractions of freshman customs were the biggest item dealt with by these bodies, but their jurisdiction has been increased this past year. Now virtually all male disciplinary cases are considered by Tribunal, whose chairman is even a non-voting member of the ex pulsion committee. Including the dean of men and the dean of the student's school, this group conducts hearings before dismissing any male student. Women's Student Government Association occupies a position similar to Cabinet as far as coeds and strictly women's problems are concerned. It is comprised of a Senate and a House of Repre sentatives, however. Senators are elected by classes, and from town coeds, while House members represent living units. ASSOCIATION OF INDEPENDENT MEN, Interfraternity Council, Leonides and Panhellenic Council are autonomous and independent organizations, concerned with problems of their spe cific groups, especially social. Each is represented on Cabinet by the president. National Student Association is a Cabinet committee, and rep resents Penn State in the national organization. It is an integral part of student government, but should become more closely allied with it, a responsibility as much Cabinet's as NSA's. Campus living units have organized governing bodies which deal with their specific problems, and are not directly represented on All-College Cabinet (although the residents of the areas are, through All - College and class officers, school student councils and AIM). Nittany Dorm, Pollock Circle and West Dorm Councils are the legislative bodies for the men in those respective areas, while Wind crest supports a well-integrated borough-council type government. MORE ATTENTION SHOULD BE GIVEN to the various school student councils, which in many respects may be considered the heart and backbone of the student government at Penn State. Their organization on a class and curriculum basis provides an opportunity for real grass-roots representation of student opinion, and knowledge of student needs, desires and interests. Their non political nature enables them to exert a stabilizing influence in Cabinet, and to devote their entire energies to improving student welfare. Briefly it can be said that student government's function exists fur the purpose of benefiting all students, by channelling dissatis factions and suggested improvements to the attention of the admin istration. A responsible student goVernment will maintain student morale at a high level and guide student life on a steady plane. AMONG STUDENT GOVERNMENT'S MOST OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS of recent years are the organization of a student cooperative store and a student news agency, planned to be the first of several student work agencies, which will provide student serv ices, as well as part-time job opportunities for students. In the past, student government was instrumental in convincing the administration and the Board of Trustees that a Student Union building was a necessity. Its eventual reality, and that of tike pro spective student press, wilt be additional concrete achievements at student apeemenent. FRIDAY APRIL 29 1949
