School Fee Plan
Is Not Desirable
Interschool Council Board has proposed to All-
College Cabinet a general student fee which,
in the final analysis, proves both undesirable
and unnecessary.
The fee would assess each student 25 cents
per semester to cover costs of activities by the
College's eight student councils. It is designed
to consolidate student council fees, which now
vary with the schools, and to allow the College
to collect fees at registration.
At present, only two of the College's eight
undergraduate •student councils collect special
fees. The Home Economics Student Council
collects 25 cents a semester and the Agriculture
Student Council 75 cents from their students.
The total semester income from these two
school fees is $1242.25. If the ISCB proposal
is adopted, the semester income for student
council usage would be $2474.75. This means
that students would pay an additional $1232.50
for which the councils have not asked and for
which there is no apparent need.
Engineering Student Council has already said
it would have no use for money it would get
under such a plan. Mineral Industries Student
Council has said it has no use for the money
but could find a use.
There is absolutely no reason why a student
council should be given money it does not want
or need. Under the ISCB plan, more than 7000
students would be paying a fee for which their
council has not asked and for which is has no
need.
-.
If the Home Economics and Agriculture stu
dent councils feel they must assess their stu
dents additional sums, those schools should have
the reponsibility of collecting those sums. Both
schools can set up booths at registration to col
lect these fees from their own students.
The ISCB proposal is one established merely
for the purpose of consolidation and equaliza
tion. Such a proposal, which would result in
assessing 7000 students for no reason, should
never go into effect. If All-College Cabinet
passes this plan, it will be doing the student
body a great injustice.
Home Ec Weekend
"FaShions, Fabrics, and People," Home Eco
nomics Spring Weekend, will go into full swing
today with guests and speakers arriving from
all over the East. The speakers will include
magazine editors, retailers, food and nutrition
experts, and beauty advisers. Blanket invitations
were sent to alumni, high school students inter
ested in majoring in home economics, and pro
fessional people in the field.
The weekend has been planned to include
programs for all ages. College women are model
ing appropriate fashions for the coeds, and the
foreign students will model costumes from their
native countries. As a special feature,, children
and high school students from State College will
present skits emphasizing the beauty and wear
ability of clothes for the younger set. "Town
Night" this evening is designed especially for
the residents of Centre County. A special lec
ture to discuss male attire for the coming year
is planned for the benefit of men who might
feel left out.
College students interested in home eco
nomics, beauty, clothing care, or family rela
tions will find valuable information in the
lectures, displays, and skits that the Home
Economics school has arranged.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. 'PENNSYLVANIA
Honor Champions
At Honors Day
The annual College Honors Day program will
be observed Monday, April 27. The three-part
program includes the inauguration of the newly
elected All-College officers, honoring of five
distinguished alumni, and awarding •of various
student scholarships. It is the type of program
which many students should attend. But it.would
seem that something has been overlooked.
This year Penn State has been lucky to have
a wealth of national champions. No student has
forgotten Hud Samson's talented display which
won him a national•, wrestling championship,
nor has Jan Cronstedt's showing which won him
two national championships been forgotten. In
addition, six women went to the Grand National
Debate Tournament and returned with ten na-.
tional titles. All thr e e of these teams also
brought home to •Penn State team national
championships.
Such outstanding talent does not often come
one's way. Its coming in such abundance is
even more unusual—and should not be over
looked.
These teams have already received national
honors . and recognition. At the College they
have received the unofficial honor and respect of
the students and administration. It seems un
believable that the College should not add its
official acknowledgment of the outstanding per
formances of these teams.
They have, after all, worked just as hard
during the past year to earn their honors as
the other people scheduled to be recognized
at the Honors Day ceremony.
We feel it is only fitting that these national
championship teams and the individual cham
pions be honored at Honors Day along with
the others on the program. What better time
could there be?
New Students Need
Good Counselors
The imp9rtance of Orientation Week in mold
ing freshmen into good Penn State citizens has
often been stressed. A great deal of the back
ground on how a student is expected to act
while at college is given on the talks and
discussions of the orientation counselors. Ap
.plications for counseling jobs are now being ac
cepted for next year's orientation program.
The aim of the program is to have student
counselors meet' ng with the new stud'nts who
will be enrolled in their curriculum. The rea
sons for this are obvious. But all too often,
this means that an inferior counselor must be
taken. Last year, for example, some counselors
are said to have encouraged the freshmen to
fear down goalposts, throw fruit at hatmen,
and take part in other such activities not be
fitting a mature college student. Who then
can really blame the freshmen for their ac-
•
Lions of early last fall?
A good many students will be on campus
early next fall anyway. The orientation program
provides them with an easy method of taking
care of at least a portion of their living expenses
during this time. Most student leaders will be
on campus getting their various activities lined
up for the new year--and these people, , in par
ticular, should take part in the orientation pro
gram. They have already demonstrated their
sense of responsibility.
The job of an orientation counselor is not a
difficult, nor time-consuming one. It is, none-
theless, an important one. There are many ma
ture, responsible students at Penn State who
should be willing to take on this added re-
sponsibilitv. The more who do so, the more
effective the program can be, and the better
will be Penn State's new students.

The Political Scene
By MARSHALL 0. DONLEY
f This is the fourth in a series of five analytical articles deal
ing with student political organizations at the College and the
current electoral- race— The series is intended as an , impartial
discussion of a topic which- touches On the lives of every man and
woman at Penn State. .
4. Organization of the-Sta•te Party
A prior Political Scene described . Lion- Party organization.
For the first time since its origination in, 1947, State Party has
undergone a complete revamping in organization. The changes were
made, according to Mike Enelow, who made them, to help students
get abetter representation in the
party—to let more students take
part in party work.
Certain changes could not be
made in the, party structure; for
example, the head of the party
is still the All-College clique
chairman (Enelow) and a certain
skeleton of essential offices still
exists and must exist, according
to the All-College elections code.
There is still a vice clique chair
man, a platform committee, a puh
licity committee, and others which
have been typical of parties af the
College for a number of years.
The changes, then, are less
structural than expansive. What
Enelow has done is to expand
certain functions of the party
groups and give them new
nam e s. Greatest innovation
along this line is probably the
Student Representative Council,
which isn't structurally new,
but is . newly expanded and
newly named.
The council is made up of stu
dents'(or- representatives) from
the two, basic parts of the party
structure—the officers and the
seven central committees
Responsible directly to the
clique chairman are. the offices of
vice clique chairman, secretary,
treasurer, and secretariat. The
vice clique chairman, this year
Ken White, aids the clique chair
man in committee selection and is
head of the State Party work
shop program, a three-meeting
plan set up to explain the duties
of officers and party workers.
The workshop is held before
the campaign so that party per
sonnel will be acquainted with
their jobs before the work be
gins.
The other three officers are
treasurer Dick Bo uche t, who
handles the party's money (each
party is allowed to• spend up to
$3OO on campaigns;) secretary Lou
Weber, who keeps party records
and minutes; and secretariat Peg
Shierson, who serves, as personal
secretary to party officers.

Campus
The basic seven committees
of the party are the center of
the entire party. Each of - the ,
-seven basic committees is made
up of ,22 students, representing
each area at the College. These
seven committees, with their
combined membership of 154
students, make up filo largest
part of th'e party's Student
,Representative Council, a group
composed of about 190 students.
The seven committees are: pub
licity, distribution, public rela
tions, ward, campaign, member
ship, and, platform. • ,
Each of these committee's is
divided into 22 positions-4hey are
headed by co-chairmen, one a
man, the other . a woman. The
male half of the chairmanship
directs his ' committee's work
through three sub-chairmen: one
for the West Dorms, one for town
housing, and one for the Nittany-
Pollock area. Further division of
the men's part of the committee
splits the workers down as rep
resentatives of a single " 'West
dorm, or • a group of dorms (as .in
Nittany and Pollock.)
The coed half of the chairman
ship is also' sub-chaired- .as. to
areas: a subchairman for the. Sim
mons-Atherton-McElwain area, a
town subchairman, and 'one for
the remaining women's dorms.
Further divisions bring the com
mittee members • down as repre
sentatives of a single dorm or
town living area.
Thus each of the seven basic
committees is able toi o carryg its
work down to , the student ;in
the living area.
Other parts of the State PartY
organization include the four class
cliques, each headed by a clique
chairman. These chairmen work
for the party as representatives
of their classes through. . class
meetings and ° association- with
members of their *class. The clique
chairmen of the classes are: senior
