Consider Merge
This semester may solve one of the most vexing problems con
fronting Nittany and Pollock councils, that of deciding whether to
merge.
As discussed last semester, the question concerns' whether to
merge both councils into one East Dorm Council. Such a move
would mean that the whole East
Dorm Area—like the West Dorm
area—would have four members
on the Association of Independent
Men Board of Governors. The area
now has eight members.
One of the arguments advanced
for the merger is that it would
provide for a closer knit, more ef
ficient leadership for the area
through one body.
Nittany Council, to which the
suggestion was first made, has
indicated approval of the merger.
Pollock Council was split on the
question all last- semester. The
matter has had to be postponed
until this semester
The merger proposal would have
to be approved by three-fourths of
the dormitories in both areas.
Some of the objections to a mer
ger, chiefly voiced by Pollock Coun
cil are these:
(1) The heavier populated Nit
tany area would “swallow” Pol
lock, and make for unfair repre
sentation.
(2) Nittany and Pollock areas
do not have “common” problems
that can be solved easily by one
council.
(3) Problems like dormitory hou
sing require separate councils to
adequately represent the men.
(4) The area would lose valuable
representation on the AIM Board
of Governors.
The advocates of the merger in
return argue that a merger would
kill harmful area “distinctions,”
that one council ably represents
the West Dorm area and one could
do likewise for the East Dorm
area. The advocates claim that the
Pollock living quarters will be torn
down soon anyway so that there is
little need to maintain area dis-

tinction. The merger advocates
claim efficiency can be improved
with one council.
The proposition was first made
early last semester to the Nittany
Council, by Thomas Kidd, who was
then a resident of the Pollock area
and parliamentarian for AIM. As
set up in Kidd’s skeleton merger
constitution each dorm in the East
Dorm area would send one repre
sentative „o the council. The coun
cil would have four officers, two
from Nittany, and two from Pol
lock. As defined by Kidd, all men
in the area with a 1.0 All Univer
sity average would be an eligible
elector.
Pollock Council named a spe
cial committee to study the matter.
It came up «vith the suggestion that
the merger be postponed and that
the possibility of a standing liaison
committee to work between both
councils be looked into. This last
suggestion however has been post
poned as well as the merger.
