Activities File Proposal for a student activities card file now being investigated by a cabinet committee prompts questions as regards the need for such a file and the information which would be in cluded in it. ~ . AS PROPOSED to cabinet, the file would in clude information on each student in four cate gories: (a) 'employment, (b) personal history, (c) scholastic, and (d) activities. It would be made available to various persons—students and out siders—under control .of a complex administra tive organization. . . Although cabinet felt that the administra tive setup proposed was too complicated, it might also be noted that few of the people who spoke on the subject at a recent cabinet meet ing thought the card file would be necessary. Aside from its immediate sponsor, only the feminine cabinet members—a similar tile al ready is in effect for women—really endorsed the idea. But, to us, the question of what information would be listed seems to be the more vital ques tion. For example, these files are, under the proposal, to be made available to employers seeking men for jobs. This situation immediately raises the question of whether a prospective employer should be given access to the personal history of a student without the student’s con sent. If such items as race and religion were to be included in the personal history information, the file could be used by employers as a primary means of discrimination without their ever hav ing to come in personal contact with the stu dents against whom they would discriminate. THE SPONSOR of the plan put forth the suggestion that users of the file could be kept under scrutiny by means of publishing their names in Collegian. But this would run into additional troubles. To be meaningful, publica tion of any such information would have to in clude the names of the students whose cards were studied and the purpose for which they were studied. We can imagine how happy hat societies, searching for names of prospective tappees, would be over such a provision. If cabinet should go ahead with the plan, the question of what information would be avail able to what people for what purposes should be given far more weighty consideration than the mere topheaviness of the proposed adminis trative setup.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Election Day Election of freshman and sophomore class of ficers today is more important than most stu dents realize. Although many people think class officers ate mere figureheads, each officer has certain responsible duties. THE PESIDENT of each class becomes a member of All-College cabinet, and thus votes on issues which affect not only his class, but the whole College. This is the most important duty of a president, but he also presides over class meetings, and appoints committees for class ac tivities. The vice-president attends cabinet in the absence of the president, and presides over class meetings if the president is absent. The secretary-treasurer writes minutes of class meet ings, budgets class, money, and attends cabinet if neither the president or vice-president can attend..
