Solicitors Needed
By Campus Chest
As is usually the case in the early days of
the Campus Chest campaign, collections are
very slight. This year, however, a more serious
problem faces the workers for the Chest.
A program of this type cannot be successful
without a large body of solicitors who are
willing to give up a great deal of time for a
worthy cause. The solicitations committee is
crying for people to work with it, especially
in the downtown living areas. There are un
doubtedly many students who would enjoy
doing work of this kind. A job is waiting for
them if they will only make themselves known.
This year's Campus Chest drive ends next.
Tuesday. It has a long way to go in order to
meet its $12,000 goal, and it is essential that
this goal be met.
There are probably few people left on cam
pus who remember the days before Campus
Chest—the days when solicitations for one
thing or another were a common occurrence.
The Chest was a solution to the problem. It
combined all these drives into one, giving the
students a chance to "Give Once—Serve All."
Campus Chest benefits nine worthy organiza
tions, but it benefits the student, too. Keep
that in mind when you are visited by a chest
solicitor.
West Dorm Lounge
Like Grand Central
One of the better suggestions to come from a
dormitory council was the proposal by the West
Dorm Council fo r increased dating facilities
in that area. In the past, dating in the West
Dorms was restricted to the main lounge. The
main lounge during the busier hours resembles
U-rrand Central Station and during slack times
resembles the intersection of South Allen street
and College avenue.
Extension of the dating areas throughout
the remaining lounges and game rooms will
not only supply a more congenial atmosphere.
but give the student council the additional
responsibilties it desires.
Although the original code has been changed
by the students to specify chaperoned dating
and amended by the Senate committee with
respect to hours, the code still provides the
council with the responsibility for operation and
enforcement of the code.
The West Dorm council is ready to shoulder
this responsibility in an attempt at more effec
tive student government. The Senate committee,
in approving the code, has expressed' a belief
that the West Dorm Council can accept the re
sponsibility.

Nittany Can Lose
Say in ' AIM Voting
At a Monday night meeting of Nittany Coun
cil a measure was passed which forbids the
council's representatives on the Association of
Independent Men Board of Governors from vot
ing on issues raised under new business and
upon which the council has not taken prior
action.
Basically, perhaps, the idea is a good one,
but the council seems to have overlooked one ,
very important fact. Under the present setup,
if a matter requiring immediate action is
brought up at a board meeting the represen
tatives of fhe Nittany Council should not
even express a view. Thus the council loses
any voice in the decision made.
Such stifling of the council's representatives
seems a lack of faith in their ability to decide
things as well as a . knock at representative gov
ernment. The council did, however, realize that
its representatives should not be forced to vote
as instructed by the council.
A plan of this sort would have been a blow
to the very concept of democratic representative
goyernment. It would have slowed up legisla
tive processes hopelessly, since any new infor
mation brought to light on a subject would have
to be taken back to the representative group if
such information might warrant a change in the
group's previous decision on the matter.
The council should reconsider its proposal, at
least to the extent of giving its representatives
some discretion under certain conditions.

' The sad plight of West Dorm students whose sleep is disturbed
vieckly by the distribution of bed linen was brought to the attention
of the dormitory council last week in the form of a suggestion by
the chairman of the dorm housing committee. The suggestion, that
sheets be delivered in the afternoon rather than the morning,
passed the council and will be sent on to the department of housing.
This action leads us to believe
that the, council is dominated by
a pressure group of late sleepers
who have forgotten that they also
represent the masses scheduled for
eight and nine o'clock classes, and
particularly those masses who
never quite make it to class.
Ir is a simple matter to shut
off an offending alarm clock
when it clangs through the still
of the dawn; it is not much harder
to lie to your roommate that the
class was canceled and "let me
sleep, will ya?"
