PAGE TWO '1) - ersonaiities The prime meat of the current LaVie contro versy in All-College Cabinet is not that names of the 1950 LaVie Personalities have "got out." Since they are "out," ' one must start from there. ALSO, THE PRIME meat does not concern whether next year's method of selection should be changed. This question is now being con sidered by LaVie Board of Directors, faculty- student advisory group. This question was only secondary in the LaVie stir-up. What is not now being considered by LaVie Board of Directors but what prompted the Directors' consideration of a change in selection system for next year is this: discon tent voiced by many students over some of this year's 32 Personality choices and over "the ones who didn't get in." It was the prime meat of the Cabinet discussion. This feeling was evident to many Cabinet members weeks ago and came to head Thurs day when Mr. Kondourajian delved into the matter. It was also evident weeks ago to the Collegian editor (yearly a purveyor of student bouquets and brickbats), although only after the thing "broke" did we choose to print letters on the subject. WHETHER ALL-COLLEGE Cabinet is justi fied in asking LaVie to reconsider its 1960 Per sonality choices is open to debate. This was pointed out strongly to Cabinet, and was the gist of a letter from Mr. Saul, LaVie editor, printed in Saturday's Daily' Collegian, LaVie Senior Board's power is. delegated Aartly by the Senate Committee on Student Welfare and partly by All-College Cabinet. In its decision to ask reconsideration by- LaVie before the Personalities section went to press, Cabinet was weighing the interven tion factor against a furor raised by some stu dents who were discontented with what they heard via the grapevine or knew outright about '5O yearbook's Personality list. Cabi net as a body found on Thursday that it agreed with those student voices. Since one purpose of Cabinet is to be a top clearing house and reflector for student opinion and gripe, Cabinet decided to put the issue squarely before LaVie now. Final decision on changing or adding to this year's 32 Campus Personalities,,of course, rests with LaVie Senior Board. A Good Thing Six thousand Nittany sports fans can't be wrong.

I thought there was a basketball game tonight." The other giving her chum a maternal look, said, "Honey, the basketball gpme hasn't started yet; this is the wrestling match. • Mr. Brady of the C and F department must be a great believer in the old maxim "waste no, want no"—at least where time is con cerned, Noticing his students beginning to walk out of class at four o'clock one afternoon he exclaimed, "We• still have time, people. Old Main hasn't stopped chimming yet." If the rreshman Customs Board patrolling the front walls of Atherton, the other night, found the area strangely vacant, it was because word of their expected visit had been passed along to all the "famous five-hundred" beforehand! ! During Economics 23 class Professor Myers was lecturing on taxes when he noticed Dick Russell engaged in earnest conversa tion with Lee Berger. "Mr. Russell," he inquired, "have you ever heard a better lec ture than this in State College?" Came a voice from the back of the room, "Psych 17, maybe?" Safety Valve TO THE EDITOR; I refuse to comment on any controversial issues concerning La Vie from this point on for the following Iva ._ sons; I feel that Collegian editorializes in what should be objective news stories, What about the important points that were miss ed in. the story following last Thursday night's Cabinet meet ing? I am referring to the people who supported LaVie, and were n't mentioned in the story, I feel that my statement to reporter Stan 'Degler that ap peared In Saturday's issue should not have been treated as a letter to the editor Parsons wishing to discuss any issue with me are welcome to :iontact me personally at any time. —Ramon Saul • Ed, Note; We think that the reporter, in the main, re- MIMS wimminl" iMMI With The Staff ported what went on at the Cabinet meeting, Ross Le hman, assistant executive secre tary of the Alumni Association, pointed out a danger of COl net's "tramping on editorial toes" of LaVie. , George Dono van, manager of associated student activities, cited vast problems of putting out a year book such as, LaVie, and ques tioned infringement of secrecy of the Personalities.

Clarification TO THE EDITOR: Let's get the facts straight! A few points included in Ray Saul's letter en titled "La Vie Answers" need clarification. Words and facts often get thrown around loose ly and become distorted. Facts are facts! They cannot be changed by casting accusations at an First of all, my motion as presented to Cabi net did not ask for Cabinet control of the selec tions of personalities. It merely stated that a committee be appointed by Cabinet to confer with the La Vie Board to determine whether a change in the methods of selection is necess ary. Since there are three members of Cabinet already on this board, I realized it wouldn't be essential that an additional committee be chosen, These three members can do the job. Hence the unanimous defeat of the proposal. • In the second place, it hardly seems feasible that I would make a proposal to Cabinet' if I were not prepared for it, I admit that I didn't nave a speech written out prior_to the meeting, however, I very seldom do write out rriy speeches, • I was, however, well aware of the tacts that were to be presented. Thirdly, several students approached me on this matter preceding the meeting at various times telling me of their, disatisf action. Several very deserving studente were omitted, And is precedent a sufficient reason for keeping these selections secret? Hardly! This general dis satisfaction Was.evidenced by the questions raised by other Cabinet members. The discon tent alone is enough reason to probe into the matter. After all one of Cabinet's main func tions is to try to see that the majority of stu dents are satisfied. My remarks were directed toward the entire group that made the selections, not at an indi vidual. Words and accusations of a personal nature won't accomplish anything. Only action will, So let's have La Vie and Cabinet work together on this thing,—not against each other. —Harry •Kondoursjiim Gazette . . . Tuesday.
