Faculty Relations,
Draft, Discussed
At NSA Meeting
Better student-faculty relations,
academic freedom, and the draft
situation were three problems
discussed at the winter assembly
of the Pennsylvania Region Na
tional Student association held in
Philadelphia Dec. 15 through 17.
Six members of the Penn State
NSA attended the conference.
They were William Klisanin,
chairman of the Penn State chap
ter and Regional vice-president in
charge of International affairs:
Murray Goldman, head of Faculty
and Course Rating committee and
president of the central Pennsyl
vania sub-region; Edward Shank
en, head of Transportation com
mittee and Cabinet representa
tive; David Fitzcharles, head of
Absentee Voting committee; Jack
Garretson-Butt, director of public
relations; and Barbara Lehn, sec
retary.
Academic Freedom
It was decided at the confer
ence that academic freedom must
be maintained for * faculty and
students alike. But it was decided
that suppression of the truth by
faculty members for any reason
should be cause for dismissal.
The conference came out in
favor of better student-faculty
relations and suggested meetings
between student leaders, faculty
leaders, and members of the ad
ministration to plan a course of
action which would be suitable ‘to
all. Penn State has already taken
action on this point with its pro
posed faculty-student-adminis
tration encampment planned for
next spring.
Absentee voting was discussed
for students who are unable to
be at home at election time and
also for members of the armed
forces. It was resolved that a bill
drawn up by Fitzcharles of Penn
State be submitted to the Penn
sylvania state legislature for this
purpose.
Aid To China
The National Students associa
tion has a fund set aside for edu
cational aid to China. It was
decided that this fund should be
frozen until a study reveals
whether the money sent there is
being properly used.
The draft problem was dis
cussed at great length, but owing
to the world situation and the un
certainty of the future, the only
resolution made was that national
officers of the NSA who are giv
ing up a year of school to do the

pletely outplaying the midwest
ern team in winning the 24th of
its last 26 contests.
Joe Lane, Ellis Kocher, and
Clarence Buss did the scoring but
all the Lions were brilliant as
they were able to take 49 shots
at the opponents’ goal while
State goalkeeper Ron Coder had
to ward off only 12 attempts by
the Boilermakers. Lou Siero tal
lied the losers’ only goal in the
third quarter on a penalty kick.
Harry Little had previously fail

the opening period.

point forward, it was all State
as they carried the game to the
Purdue club with an effective
passing attack.
Buss added the third tally in
the 85th minute of play, climax
ing a brilliant season in which
his scoring was timely and im
portant.
The contest was the first bowl
win for Coach Bill Jeffrey’s hoot
ers.
Second Bowl Game
Monday’s victory marked the
second time that State has played
in the Sportsmans park bowl con
test. Last year the Lions tied San
Francisco university 2-2.
But the 1951 game was a differ
ent story as Captain Little’s
charges opened the battle with
an offense that marked them as
the superior club from the start.
Sparked by the speedy Buss on
the left wing and Coleman, play
ing before the fans of his own
hometown, the Nittanies contin
ually pressed the Boilermakers.
