PAGE TWO Political Structure Headed by Cabinet Penn State has an active student government, a student government in which the stu dents have ample opportunity to express their views and then help put them into practice. At the top of the organizations within the student government set up at the University is All-University Cabinet, whose 24 members represent the heads of other student govern ment associations. At their meetings, cabinet members discuss problems pertaining to the entire University and try to find solutions that will be best for the University as a whole. Each student has a chance to take part in student government through the student council of his particular college. These councils are elected by the students in that college only, and devote their time to discussing problems rele vant to their college and adopt ing projects to help the students they directly represent. The nine student council presi dents, in addition to having seats on cabinet, comprise the Inter college Council Board, and meet to discuss problems. The college council presidents form a sort of chain of command in the student government sys tem, for when an issue is dis cussed at cabinet, the president often brings the problem back to' his council to get its opinion be fore he casts his vote at cabinet. The Interfratemity Council and Panhellenic Council are the gov erning bodies of the campus “Greeks.” These two councils per form such functions as setting up the rushing schedules and proced ures for fraternities and sorori ties, and discuss problems such as housing, fraternity dating, housemothers, and Greek-com munity projects. Panhel and IFC are composed of representatives of each soror ity and fraternity on campus. Every independent woman is a member of Leonides, and each dormitory unit elects representa tives to serve on the Leonides Board. The Leonides president is elected in the spring of each year to serve for the following one. The Association of Independent Men looks after the welfare of men independents. Its basic structure too is the dormitory unit, and it is headed by a presi dent and a Board of Governors. Each dormitory comprises one unit, and some of the larger ones, like Hamilton and McKee halls are subdivided into several units. The men elected in these areas serve on one of 1 the councils— West Dorm, Nittany. Pollock.

WSGA then directs and regulates the ac tivities of the women students on campus and, through the presi dent, has a voice in all-University affairs on Cabinet. Each student at the University is represented in student govern ment in several ways. The All- University officers who direct cabinet are elected by all student elections in the spring. Independ ent students have Leonides or AIM as their voice, and each fraternity man or sorority wom an can express views through IFC or Panhel. Academic inter ests are stressed through the nine college councils. And, finally, the Penn State coed gets her say via the WSGA. In additioiv to having so many avenues open for student govern ment participation, each class has its own student government set up. Freshmen and sophomores elect class officers in the fall and junior and senior officers are elected in the spring.
