Appohttments: Beware the Red Tape All-University Cabinet tonight will hear the third reading of a small, but rather important, proposed amendment to its constitution. The amendment would require the All- University president to announce cabinet ap- pointments at two consecutive meetings one week apart before appointments would go into effect. The amendment is designed to give cabinet members a chance to look into appoint ments before they are final. Reasoning behind the proposed amendment is good, but there is still some question as to whether the amendment is necessary. Few, if any, cabinet members would , really look into appointments. Actually, only a few appoint ments are of much significance. The amendment would hinder the All-Uni versity president in his appointive caphcity. Cabinet is required to meet only every other week. Thus, it is possible some appointments under the proposal would be delayed a full month before they could be official. This could kill the operation of some committees. Some plan, it seems, may be desirable for more important appointments. But the present proposal seems to have little merit. A better amendment, perhaps, would require the double approval of the more important appointments. These would include chairmanships of Student 111. Elections Committee: Organization (The last of three editorials on relations between the All-University elections com- mittee and campus politics.) Permanent registration is not a panacea for all ills that plague campus political parties. Other steps are necessary to make campus politics succeed. With persons permanently registered as party members, the party can function between elec tions rather than just before them. It is im portant for a party to start to rebuild for the next election as soon as one election has been completed. The party should be the faithful opposition or the cautious leader of all ideas proposed during the year. A continuing party organization would then be a full-time activity if a student dutifully fulfilled his party as signment. Superstructure of such an organization would be the steering committee. Composition of this committee would be determined by party mem bers. Such an organization could include intra party offices with floor leaders, and area com mittees. These officers would be 'responsible to the steering committee, not to the, clique chair man, as is now the case. Officers would be continually active. The decision as to specific organization— whether the party would operate through clique or convention—and the positiOn and power of a clique chairman or party director, would come from the party itself. Election of party• officers would be under party control. A eloseci Primary election could be used to select candidates for public office, eliminating or - subordinating the Gazette ..

Certainly, the All-University president must know far in advance when these appointments will be made. One fault with the present appointment pro cedure is cabinet's lack of information on what appointments are forthcoming. No announce ment is ever made on what committee appoint ments are pending. Cabinet members could provide many logical suggestions for appoint ments. Too often, appointments go to the same few students. If cabinet knew what appoint ments were in the offing, some new and much needed talent might be uncovered. Cabinet might be wise in redrawing the pro posed amendment to include only committee chairmen. Thus, cabinet would have time to reflect upon chairmen of important committees, but minor appointments would not be con sidered. Any proposal to restrict the executive's ap pointive power has the taint of mistrust of the executive. Mistrust of the executive, however, is not the idea here. The idea is to give cabinet time to reflect on important appointments. In providing time • for that reflection, however, cabinet must not burden itself or its executive a mess of red tape. clique or convention. The elections committee would intervene in party matters only in the absence of internal party leadership. Conditions under which the committee could intervene could be listed in the elections code: Moreover, the party could control officials at the polling places in both primary and general elections. These officials could be selected in a primary election to prevent a group within the party from obtaining power by making appoint ments to these posts. The elections code should be made permanent. While changes may be made in it from time to time by All-University Cabinet, an overall policy for condUcting elections should be main tained. A permanent party organization cannot be established if the code, under which parties operate, is changed ,every semester. The elec tions committee should be responsible to the parties, as welLas, cabiiket, •for the adoption and change of .the,,tocie;•., Elections .at. the.,UniverSity have lacked neces sary appeal to the , general student body.

It should pre sent, for adoption by cabinet, a permanent registration system which would make the political parties stronger. This would be ,one of the best ways to infuse new and stronger blood in student government, and help the entire student government system achieve its goal of a better Penn State. On Town Housing All-University Cabinet tonight will have the opportunity to remove several recommendations on town housing from the table and put them into committee for action. This is something cabinet must do to avoid further criticism, especially from town independents, for side stepping touchy issues. Cabinet last week curbed several drastic rec ommendations on town housing without a pro posal to create a committee to study those rec ommendations. Most cabinet members by now realize those proposals must be sent to com mittee if any action is ever to be forthcoming. LIBERTY MUTUAL INSURANCE CO. will interview grad uating seniors in Bus.

No matter how often the true Puerto Rican story is told, no mat ter how strongly Puerto Rican leaders protest that the attack in Congress was made by isolated' fanatics Who represent no important section of Puerto Rican opinion, no matter how repeated Puerto Rican elzetions .are cited to show what the United States has done for Puerto Rico what 'the Puerto Ricans want, the shots are going to be heard around the world for a long time. Vast numbers of submerged - "peoples everywhere are going- to believe, with the help of the Communist prop a ganda Ma chine, that people who go to such extremes are motivated by patriotism and hatred of colon ialism. They will not believe even a handful of such people can be worked to such-a pitch by mere hallucinations. The imaginary Puerto Rican problem now promises to take prominence in Communist propa ganda alongside the real problem of racial relations in the United States. And if you don't know this is a real problem in American „re latiims with a large part of the world, you only need to talk for a short time to men of seeming intelligence from such places as India, Burma, Java, or Africa, men who say they are non-Com munist The Puerto Rican Nationalists are not classified as a Communist group, although the district in which they live in New York sometimes casts a heavy Com munist vote, and they are sup ported by the Communists in the general Red scheme for making trouble. Actually, the Nationalists are a tiny hangover fringe from the long-gone days when Puerto Rican independence was a burn ing question. They are led by a man who has been medically diagnosed as suffering from hallucinations. They feed on such discontent as may be found on an island whose resources are insufficient to' support a population which has grown rapidly, primarily because of American health and sanitation measures. For that part of Puerto Rican opinion which does favor com plete disassociation from the Uni ted States, in spite of recently granted complete legislative au tonomy as a commonwealth, there is a sane Independence party 20 times larger than the Nationalists, yet still not very large. It eschews radicalism. ' There - is no value in discussing here the benefit& to Puerto Rico J. M. ROBERTS. JR. Associated Press Neios Analyst of her , remaining ties with the United States.

Commies Laugh At Capitol Shooting NEW YORK, March 3 (11))---So viet Communist officials must be still laughing at the shooting that took place in Washington's House of Representatives. They laugh at grim things that happen- to other people. To attend a session of the Su preme Soviet I had to have a spe cial ticket issued by the security police, through the press depart ment. A colonel carefully examined my ticket. He held it to the light.. He turned it over several times. with I handed over my press card. This had a photograph of me and the information that 1 was an accredited foreign correspond ent. The colonel looked at the date of expiration. Then he' looked at me again. I had a mustache but the picture showed me' with none. After explaining the situ ation they inspected my type writer. I was then shooed to a special cloak stand and handed over my coat. Leaving, the building was al- most as difficult as getting in side. The same scrutiny of docu ments and my face and figure. When I reached the Kremlin gate the colonel approached.
