Perkins Statement
In yesterday's Daily Collegian,
• a statement by Harold W. Per
kins, assistant dean of men, ap
t peared incorrectly. Concerning a
survey of restrictive clauses
.in
'constitutions of some of the 49
campus fraternities, Mr. Perkins'
correct statement follows:
"It'i important•to keep in mind
that this discrimination •is not in
1 one direction. On this campus •we
have discrimination 'against Pro
testants; Catholics, and. Orientals,
la w ell :as -` against JewS and,
the All-College Constitution.
Presented by Harry Kon
dourajian, president of the
junior class, the proposed
change was attacked by sev
eral Cabinet members.
James MacCallum, all-college
secretary-treasurer, pointed out
that any campus group •of over
1000 students could demand a
general election. In this fashion,
he said, Cabinet motions could be
delayed or defeated by factions
not necessarily represented gen
eral student interests.
The constitutional right of any
student to present to Cabinet any
matters concerning student .wel
fare provides an adequate met
hod, Parlimentarian Richard Sch
weiker said.
Proposal Accepted
Cabinet accepted another pro
posal for amendment. This change
would incorporate into the con
stitution provisions for the stu
dent council coordinating com
mittee.
Schweiker said the committee
would work for general coopera
tion of school student councils in
sponsorship of various campus

Senate Approves 'lnkling'
Group Queries
Appropriation
Of NSA Money
James MacCallum, all-College
vice-president and Peter Giesey,
IFC head, led an attack on Col
lege membership in• the National
Student Association, at the Cabi
net meeting Thursday night.
Lyn Lapp, chairman of the
Cabinet NSA committee, defend
ed the organization's value to the
College, saying that benefits re
ceived from contact with other'
schools, and College prestige
gained through NSA leadership
justified the $lOOO expenditure on
NSA this year.
No Cabinet decision will be
taken on NSA until the budget
comes up for consideration later
in the semester.
Giesey, MacCallum,. and Tri
bunal Chairman Robert Keller all
pointed to the fact that only 50
people are active in the local com
mittee, questioning whether, this
small number justified the $3OO
yearly dues which the College, as
one of the largest members, must
pay. Ted Allen, all-college presi•
dent, however, said that the Col
lege as a whole belongs to NSA,
that Cabinet itself, under current
arrangements, represents the Penn
State NSA, and that the 50 stu
dents referred to belong only to
the Cabinet committee on NSA.
The 'debate arose over a letter,
introduced - by- Allen, •from- Ore
gon State University, asking that
the College outline the success or
failure of NSA here to ,help the
western school decide whether to
joi n. MacCallum immediately
questioned the value of member
ship to an "isolated" school such
as Penn State. He said, "While
I do not deny that the NSA com
mittee has done a good job, I see
no reason Whya Cabinet commit
tee not associated with the na
tional group could not have done
the same job without the expendi•
ture of $1000." -
Giesey and Keller pointed out
that the school could .gain- some
of 'the benefits of NSA without
actual membership. Among these
they listed receiving literature
and attendance at regional and
national meetings. Miss Lapp 'call=
ed such a practice "mooching."

For Later Consideration
The Senate Committee on Student Welfare yesterday
granted a charter to the Inkling, new campus literary-photo
graphic magazine.
Approval
. of the magazine's request for a charter came
on a motion by Dean of Women Pearl 0. Weston.
Representatives of NAACP and PSCA attended to pre-
sent views on fraternity dis
crimination clauses, but con
sideration of. their statements
was postponed until the next
meeting because of the illness of
Dr R. • Wallace Brewster, chair
man of the committee.
The committee also approved
a charter requested by Hillel
Foundation, which has been on
Pearl 0. Weston
campus for 15 years but never
recognized officially by the. com
mittee.
Members of the Inkling's board
of 'directors, announced in the
letter requesting the charter are
Louis H. Bell,- director of the de
partment of public information;
Rcss B. Lehman, assistant execuz
tive secretary of the Alumnilisso
cisttion; Richard 0. Byers, jour
nalism instructor; E. K. Mattil,
assistant professor of art educa
tion; J. J. Rubin, associate pro
fessor of English composition, and

Students Meet
To Consider
Mission Group
Students interested in missions
will have an informal meeting in
Wesley Foundation at 8:30' p.m.
Sunday to 'discuss the possibility
of forming a Student Volunteer
Movement group on campus.
Dr. M. 0. Williams, personnel
secretary of the Methodist Board
of Foreign Missions, will be pres
ent to meet with the grotip..
The Student Volunteer, •Move
ment is encouraging formation of
campus groups to work as inte
gral parts of existing religious or
ganizations, such as PSCA and
Interchurch Student Fellowship.
This type 'of organization would
prevent competition for members
among religious groups . and par
ticipate in group activities.
An• SVM group at the College
would include those , seeking in
formation about missions as a
vocation and those merely inter
ested in mission - work. Member
ship in the group would be open
to those interested in either home
or foreign mission fields.
