Pennsylvania State University: A New Era
The Pennsylvania State College today has
become Pennsylvania State University, a name
long-due for this institution.
The change to university status came yester
day with final approval by Judge Ivan Walker
of the Centre County Court of Common Pleas.
Filing the action with the prothonotary is the
only legal step remaining.
The name change comes on the eve of Penn
Slate's 100th anniversary and climaxes a cen
tury of constant progress. Since 1855. Penn State
has grown from the struggling Farmer's High
School to one of the nation's largest universities.
The change to university status comes as no
great surprise to most. Some had expected the
change to come in 1955 as part of the centen
nial celebration. But once the Board of Trustees
filed the formal petition, university status was
not far off.
It will be some time, of course, until students
overcome reference to "the College" and begin
to say "the University." It will be a while
before University stationery, seals, and other
effects are available. It will be some time be-
Tribunal Proposal: New Plan for Justice
An intelligent iT9(v idea has been presented
to All-College Cabinet concerning revision of
Tribunal. The revision would establish Tribunal
as judge and jury, rather than judge, jury, and
prosecutor as is now the case.
, It is obvious that a fair trial is endangered
when Tribunal must ■ not only judge a case,
but present the charges against the accused.
The new plan would provide a Tribunal marshal
who would gather the evidence and present
charges against the accused. The plan would
also provide for a list of from five to 25 students
who could act as counsel for the accused.
This would not only relieve Tribunal of the
duties of presenting charges, but it would also
provide a system of obtaining positive evidence
concerning the validity of the charges.
Under the present system. Tribunal finds it
self in something of a stalemate when there
are no witnesses at the hearing and the ac
cused bluntly proclaims his innocence. Thai
the student is brought before Tribunal is the
only indication Tribunal now has of determin
ing a student's guilt—someone at some time
thought the student was wrong.
Providing defense counselors for the accused
will give the student a better chance for pre
venting his being judged guilty when he is
innocent.

fore the Daily Collegian is able to change the
seal in its title. But Penn State is still a uni
versity.
Many have been skeptical of the merits of
such a name change. They have contended
educational quality cannot be altered with a
mere name change. They are wrong.
University status can bring Penn State in
creased prestige and funds. These most cer
tainly will produce an increased quality of
education.'
Penn State today enters on a new era of
progress. That it has been a university for years
cannot be questioned. Formal recognition of this
facf can, and will, mean much to students,
faculty, and administration. But more impor
tant, it can mean much to the state.
In a true university, someone has said, there
is light, liberty, and learning. As it enters on
its new, era, the University must keep such
ideals iii mind. Growth is the only evidence, of
life. Penn State has grown, and today that
growth has been recognized. Penn State has
achieved university status—a status it has long
and richly deserved.
presented the plan to cabinet, he said the Tri
bunal marshal would have to be interested in
justice above personal attainment. That was a
great understatement. Any student chosen for
the position of marshal would be under a tre
mendous moral burden. This is perhaps the
only flaw in the proposal.
It will he difficult to find a competent stu
dent who is willing, much less anxious, to
bring repeated charges against his fellow stu
dents. It is entirely possible that he would
soon become a deeply disliked person.
This does not mean jusiice should be subor
dinated to popularity. But few students would
agree to take a job that has no chance to gain
them friends, or carries the risk of losing
friends or creating a greater number of enemies
than friends. And what does the Tribunal mar
shal gain for the loss of his popularity?
Unless the person chosen is of- a peculiarly
mercenary nature, monetary compensation wiil
not be the answer. The answer will probably
have to be found in the rather dubious job
of convincing the student body that the marshal
is bound to act in the interests of justice and
the student body—a job that society in similar
situations has failed to do in the years before
arriving on campus.

Disarmament Talks
Every year the United Nations takes up the possibilities of an
international disarmament agreement, every year Andrei Vishinsky
and others make their same remarks, and every year everybody
knows that nothing is going to be done.
since it never produces anything
except repetitive recriminations
like Vishinsky’s speech Friday,
isn’t it dropped until some change
in world conditions arouses hope
that further discussion might be
worth while?
The answer is that the dele
gates feel the disarmament
commission is something like
the UN itself—a symbol and a
stepping stone toward things as
they should be instead of things
' as they are.
You will remember that after
the Baruch plan failed of agree
ment, proposed that the
old committee on conventional
arms and the committee on atom
ic controls be merged to seek a
general disarmament agreement.
The United States opposed this
for several years, thinking piece
meal agreements might be possi
ble where a general plan was not.
Then President Truman, in an ad
dress to the General Assembly,
suddenly switched and the disar
-1 m ament commission was formed.
; It never got anywhere.
! The Russians proposed that
the great powers cut their
armed forces by a flat 30 per
cent. That would have left her
with the same relative super
iority which existed at the
lime. Nobody bit.
Later, the Western powers pro
posed a ceiling program, with
Russia, China and the United
States to be equalized at 1,500,000
men in the armed forces, Britain
and France with 800,000 each, and
other countries limited to one, per
cent of their populations. These
ceilings were to be part of an
overall agreement on ships,
planes, tanks, etc., and on pro
hibition of weapons of mass de
struction—A-bombs and H-bombs.
This would have required each
nation to report its current
strength and provided for a UN
check on the reports. Russia
balked, just as she has always
balked at any proposal that pro
vided for inspection, instead of
having the other nations rely on
her word. That’s what blocked
atomic controls, on the surface,
although Russia’s fear that the
West would use controls to crip
ple her development of . atomic
power was always considered a
prime factor in her attitude.
Russian proposals on the
whole subject-have always pul

agreements first and verifica
tion arrangements second, while
the West seeks step by step
-guarantees.
The disarmament commission
met only once last year, and
made a one-paragraph report on
which, for once, Russia went
along with other nations, recom
mending that it be kept in being.
That’s all the disarmament talk
amounts to now— a search in be
ing for something which will hap
pen only when the world situation
has become such that nobody
will need to stay armed anyway.
Hat Society
Proposes Limit
Of 25 Members
Restriction of membership to
25 men is one of three amend
ments which have been proposed
to the constitution of Skull and
Bones, senior men’s hat society.
Present membership of the so
ciety is 35. The purpose of the re
striction would be to maintain
the prestige of the group by mak
ing its membership more select
than it now is, Myron Enelow,
secretary-treasurer, said. Enelow
said that by strictly limiting the
membership, the society will elim
inate doubts about the right of
students to recognition given
them by the society.
Other proposed amendments
would be a strict revision of qual
ifications for membership and a
regulation that a member be
dropped from the society after
three consecutive absences from
meetings without valid excuses.
The amendments will be voted
on Tuesday, Enelow said.
The society began revision of
its constitution after Richard
Gibbs, president of Hat Societies
Council, asked that charters of all
men’s hatsocieties be revised to
meet current comparative ratings
of campus activities.
