BX Suggestion Brings
Early Action on ÜBA
(This is the first in a series of articles on the resolutions adopted at the first annual Student
Encampment.)
More than 30 specific recommendations were adopted at the first annual Student Encampment
held Sept. 4 through Sept. 6 at the Mont Alto Forestry School. Of these recommendations, which
range from the problem of keeping students off the grass to the improvement of student-faculty re
lations, those presented by the
Book Exchange committee have
already brought action in the
form of the new Used Book
Agency.
Working on the Book Exchange
committee were chairman Frank
lin Kelly, Joyce. Buchanan, Thom
as Farrell, Gwen Griffith, Ronald
Lench, Charles Obertance, Mar
ian Ungar, Arthur W. Einstein,
Samuel K. Hostetter, and William
N. Leonard. The latter three were
faculty and administration repre
sentatives
Mainly interested in alleviat
ing the space problem which the
BX has faced in the past four
years, the committee devoted its
time to figuring out how more
space could be obtained. The com
mittee came up with the follow
ing resolutions the main one
being the. immediate transforma
tion of the Temporary Union
Building ballroom into a self
service ÜBA:
ÜBA Recommendations
1. Be it recommended that the
ballroom of the TUB be utilized
for a convenient, self-s erv i c e
Used Book Agency to be in op
eration for an approximate per
iod of 10 days to two weeks.
2. Be it further recommended
that this operational set-up be
employed at the beginning and
end of each semester, until, when
certain greater facilities are avail
able, the BX can carry on a larg
er, more diversified service.
3. Be it further recommended
that the BX begin a bookkeep
ing system whereby complete
cost, sales, and purchase break
downs would be made to be use
ful for any proposed long-range
program.
4. Be it further recommended
that a new inventory control sys
tem be devised by the BX Board
of Control.
Further Recommendations
In view of the fact that the pre
viously presented recommenda
tions will affect the future—the
long range program—we hereby
propose the following additional
recommendations:
1. Be it recommended that, up
on reviewing the success, prob
lems, and operational transac
tions of the proposed self-service
ÜBA, diversified research be car
ried out for determining the pre
requisites for a Book Exchange
on a larger scale.
2. Be it further recommended
that the Economics department
serve in an advisory capacity so
that complete research will be
carried out efficiently.
3. Be it further recommended
that, upon completion of the re
search, possibilities for the hand-

ling of new books, more lines, and

—and charter changes made in
cases where revision would be a
necessity.
NSA Resolution Made
The committee on National Stu
dent Association concerned itself
with the values of Penn State be
longing to this organization. They
discussed the- accusation made
claiming that the NSA is “slight
ly pink.” Upon completion of their
discussion, the committee, com
posed of chairman Marlene Hey
man, John Laubach, Charles
Gibbs, Margaret Hepler, Lenore
Kahanowitz, James Plyler, Irvin
White, George Donovan, and Ross
Lehman, presented the following
resolutions:
Whereas, the NS A committee
feels that contact with other
campus student governments is
beneficial to promote a more ef
fective local student government,
be it recommended that Penn
State continue its affiliation with
the National Student Association.

students tearing down goal posts,
cerned itself with problems of
walking on the grass, dormitory
behavior, freshman customs,
smoking in classrooms, academic
dishonesty, the use of alcoholic
beverages, littering the campus
with waste, and dormitory raids.
After discussing the various
ways of eliminating some of these
problems, the committee proposed
the following recommendations:
1- All-College Cabinet go on
record as suggesting that people
do not tear down goal posts. Sing
the Alma Mater at the end of the
game instead of at half-time. If
nothing else works, have state or
town police arrest students who
try to tear down these goal posts.
Place Signs on Grass
Unlike the unanimous accept
ance of the BX and NS A recom
mendations, this particular recom
mendation was approved by a ma
jority vote. Some student repre
sentatives believed that the sing
ing of the Alma Mater at the end
of a football game lessened the
solemnity of the song. After dis
