O'Brien Cites
Parliamentary
Procedures
Purpose of Rules
To Speed Business
Among many highlights of the
National Student Association’s
Orientation program Wednesday
was a discussion of parliamentary
procedure by Professor J. O'Brien,
head of the speech department.
Professor O’Brien emphasized
that parliamentary rules should
only be observed to the extent of
enabling the efficient handling of
business.
He explained that informative
reports are “neither accepted nor
adopted, but merely filed.” How
ever, reports calling for action de
mand an acceptance or adoption
making the group responsible for
the action, he said.
MacCallum Speak*
James MacCallum, new All-
College secretary-treasurer, re
presenting the interclass finance
committee, spoke briefly. Edmund

At an orientation banquet in the
State College hotel Wednesday
evening, Arthu r R. Warnock, dean
of men, told student leaders:
“Students at Penn State enjoy
exposure to two things that are
interwoven with American life.
One is democracy or self-govern
ment. The other is idealism.
Good Leaders
“Democracy is not just a creed
but a way of doing things; ideal
ism is important in the make-up
of this country in that it pours
into the bloodstream of this na
tion good leaders.
“All I ask of new student lead
ers at Penn State,” he continued,
“is that they instil in their succes
sors a knowledge of democracy
and how it works, and an appre
ciation of idealism. They make
America tick.”
At the same banquet, Ross Leh
man, assistant executive secre
tary of the Alumni Association,
urged:
“Student government at Penn
State has been put to work large
ly through the efforts of Dean
Warnock and the late President
Ralph D. Hetzel. It’s up to you to
keep it working.”

IFC Considers Plan To Finance
Education for Foreign Student
A proposal by President Peter
Giesey to educate a foreign stu
dent for two years at the Col
lege was placed before the Inter
fraternity Council for considera
tion Wednesday night.
The money for this action would
come from profits realized from
the IFC Ball. Giesey said that
the College would probably waive
tuition and fees, and the student
would receive resources for
books, board, and spending mon
ey. All fraternities and the IFC
would be a part of the plan.
The scholar would be one of
those chosen in Europe for schol
astic standing and character. He
would also be picked by the Col
lege in conjunction with the ex
ecutive committee of IFC and
NSA.
This person, said Giesey, would
remain in this country and ulti
mately become an American citi
zen. “It has been provided,” he
continued, “that these students
become self-supporting a short
time after their arrival to Amer
ica. They’re men who have been
shoved around in war-torn coun
tries all their lives.”
A motion was made to table the
consulted, and bring it up at the
next and last Meeting, May 18.
The IFC is also in process of
