Prexy All-University President Jesse Arnelle told members of All-University Cabinet Thursday night that President Milton S. Eisenhower plans to meet with cabinet several times during the coming academic year. If these meetings give cabinet members an opportunity to discuss current problems with President Eisenhower. Ihey could prove to be extremely beneficial to the improvement of student government and the good will of par ticipants. The president meets with student leaders at encampment, and it seems these contacts are profitable both- to the students and to President Eisenhower, who has the chance to come very close to the student viewpoint by several days’ association with 90 members of the student body. , A continuance of this relationship throughout the year.could.prove valuable in giving cabinet members a way of directly reflecting to the president the attitudes of the students they represent. Although the president's crowded schedule prevents him from frequent discussions with many students on campus, a series of meetings with cabinet could bring one of the advantages of a small college to the large University. Citizen's Rights TO THE EDITOR: Regardless of one’s sympa thies in the Horn vs. Campus Patrol episode, it, is painfully evident that the Campus Patrol is guilty of abject violation of the rights of a citi zen of the United States to be secure in his person, and to have recourse to due process of law. Thai such violation is condoned by the various permission of the Office of the Dean of Men makes this case all the more remarkable. Throughout history, men of stature have fought and died for the principle to speak freely, dis sent, and criticize. Rights such as these are preserved in the highest laws of this land. Is it possible that the Campus Patrol can negate such laws? The action of the Campus Patrol in summon ing a member of the student body to such a conference might well result in the silencing of student opinion. Stagnant Politics TO THE EDITOR: For the past week I’ve been reading with a great deal of interest the various articles, editorials, and letters to the editor that have been appearing in' the Daily Col legian pertaining to politics. One. question that has remained in my mind . . . is: How could Penn State politics become as stagnant as it now is? It's no wonder only approximately 50 per cent of the students . . . vote in the All-Uni versity elections. After reading and hearing of the . underhanded methods used in nominating men to run for office, I wonder haw many dis illusioned students will vote next year. One thing that amazes me is how even one student, namely Richard Kirschner, had enough courage to bring out the base actions of one group in particular, namely Lion’s Paw. In my three years at Penn State I don’t think I ever read or heard just what the functions of Lion’s Paw were. ... I now know why this group is on campus . . . and I don’t like the reasons. How could a group of students ever get to believe they were "demi-gods?" It's beyond my imagination how the "select few" of Lion's Paw ever got on top of such a high pedestal as they ÜBA to Receive Used Textbooks The Penn Stale Used Book Agency will be open to receive textbooks Monday through Fri day in the Temporary Union Building, according to Paul Hood, manager of the ÜBA.

THE DAfltY COILEGIAN STATE COLLEGE P€NNSW.VAf«A FRANK 6RESSMAN. Business Mgr. Anti-Burglary Plan The summer anti-burglary campaign for bor ough fraternity houses sponsored by Inter fraternity. Council is another , good example of the many services the council performs for its members. But, in this case as in many of the others, it is up to the individual fraternity to take the ~ initiative to get full benefits of the plan As outlined to council earlier this week, the plan calls for a nightly inspection by borough police of the fraternity houses that will be locked up for the summer. The only catch in the deal is that the individual fraternities must first securely lock their houses and then deposit a key with the police. The houses must also in form the police of their adviser's name. If house through indifference, thoughtlessness, or whai have-you fail to comply with the request,, they will receive none of the special attention that the IFC plan calls for. Police also will periodically check houses for damages that are the results of a forced en trance. The overall returns promised by the plan are too great to be ignored. It’s like getting something for nothing which just isn’t seen too often any more: Valve— Wants Both Sides TO THE EDITOH: In the past few days a great deal has been said about Lion's Paw. None of it has been favorable. This may be explained 'by the fact thai members of Paw are. bound by oath not to disclose any of the proceedings or policies of the organization. It seems that one of the many faults of human nature is to think that an organization is evil . . . (because) it is secret and is supposed to hold some power. ... It has been charged that this organization seeks “to place its members on key committees and in key positions on campus.” This charge is partially false and partially justifiable. The placing of members on key committees may be justified on the grounds that the members are pledged to work for the good of Penn State. If the committee is weak it is the Paw man’s duty to strengthen it. The statement that Paw places its members in key positions cannot be true as these positions are filled by election or appointment before the men holding them are tapped for membership. Each man tapped is free to refuse the honor if he feels it will make him unfit to discharge the duties of his office without influence from any power group. . . . Paw has been indirectly charged., with offering the Lion Party clique chairman a bribe to throw the spring election in 1953 to the State Parly. This was not the. action of the entire. group but that of one individual member seek ing to place his own candidates in office. It has also been charged that “the decision on matters coming before All-University Cabinet have been predetermined at Sunday night meet ings of the 14 members of Lion’s Paw.” This charge cannot, be supported. The accuser has absolutely no way of knowing what is discussed at those meetings. . . . l am not defending this organization ... I only wish to have both sides of the story pre sented to the “ordinary Joes and Janes” of Penn State. I’m one of them. now think they stand on. ... I hope that by the time I graduate from Penn State, the politics here will be cleaned up.' I think this could be accomplished if certain organizations and the people running them were examined. I also think the Daily Collegian could help rectify the wrongs going on if it would print all of the facts and not hold back what is known.

Gueniher Common Hour Reverts to Friday The Army Reserve Officers Corps will change its common hour from 4 p.m. Thursday to 4 p.m. Friday next semester, according to CoL Lu cien E. Bolduc, professor of military science and tactics. The change was made to eliminate scheduling difficul ties, he said. The Army ROTC common hour was held on Thursdays this year for the first time in several years. Previously it had been on Fridays. Little Man on Campus Inquirin', Reporter Students Defend Right to Love By ANITA OPRENDEK ~ o Campus Patrol can be too efficient with their authority to inter- ' rupt lovemaking on the campus benches, according to the majority/ of twelve students questioned yesterday. ' ’ /' . ' The issue has recently come to light when several complaints ... were placed with the patrol concerning conduct of couples on campus ; benches. Because of the complaints Capt. Philip A. Mark of the pa trol, announced that the lax en forcement of a regulation of the dean of women concerning such conduct for the past twelve years would, be changed. Stricter eii foreement has been in-effect since this announcement last week. The question asked the students was: Bo'you approve of the pa trol interfering with lovemaking on the campus benches? The opinions of the students questioned are: Warren Maurar, sixth semester journalism major: “When a girl gets to be college age, she should know what she’s doing without having to have a member of the police force tell her.” Robert Beyer, second semester business administration: “I don’t think the patrol would be doing this unless somebody was putting pressure on them from the admin istration. If they want it stopped, they should go to see the dean of men or women.” Lawrence Patterson, fourth se mester ' business administration: “They’ve got to do it somewhere, so it seems to me that if they can’t do it on campus, they’ll find some other place, so it doesn’t matter. ” . William Brubaker, eighth se mester agronomy major: “I don’t approve, because I don’t think ,it should be done on campus.” Donald Chalmers, fifth semester arts and letters major: “People are human beings and a member of the genus homo sapiens,' and they’re a member of the class of higher animals, so it is a natural intinct for the male and female to make love to one another with out some foolish little man in a black suit interfering.” Ronald Crowe, eighth semester business managing major: “No, up to a certain point. I think it was all right before there was any in terference.” Constance Anderson, fourth se mester journalism major: “I defi nitely think it’s not right for peo ple to be seen making love in the daytime, but as long as people know how to conduct themselves properly, they should not be in terfered with at'night.” Frederick Spoil, second semes ter civil enginering major: “I don’t believe they should bother the lovers, but they should take care of the traffic;” Joanne Eisenhauer. second se mesier business administration SATURDAY. MAY 29. 1954 major: “I think it's all right. There’s a time and place for everything and I don’t think that’s the place for it.” Donna Smith, second semester home economics education major: “I think some of it needs to’ be controlled to a certain extent, but I think they’re carrying it to ex tremes. There’s been a lot of con troversy over it at the dorm and the girls generally feel that when they are in college they’re old enough to know right from wrong. It should be“up to the individual.” Danice Smenza, second semes ter, home economics major: “Col lege people should know what they’re doing and shouldn’t have to be told what to do by the pa trol.’*' Grace. Thomas, eighth semester education major: “I don’t disap prove, but I think there’s a limit. I think the patrol is sticking its neck out too far. I think every thing should be done in modera tion.” Frank's Condition Stated Satisfactory Robert Frank, eighth semester forestry major and University employee, who received lacera tions of the left hand and arm on a saw yesterday, is reported in satisfactory condition at the Bellefonte hospital.- Frank cut his hand and arm on a circular) saw while working in, the University saw mill yester day.
