All-University Constitution May Change Appointment Plan Opposed Tonight All-University Cabinet will hear the second reading of a constitutional amendment which in its present form would prove a need less waste of time and somewhat of an im position on the rights of the All-University president. The proposed amendment, introdhced last week by Richard Favro, asks that appointments of committee chairmen and persons receiving compensation be approved at two consecutive meetings of cabinet, The general idea behind the proposal—that cabinet members be given a chance to become better acquainted with appointees, is fine. Cab inet members can not be asked rightly to ap prove persons about whom they know little. However, the proposal also involves factions which cannot be commended. Primarily, the amendment implies a partial lack of confidence in the All-University presi dent’s judgment. Appointive power is not grant ed to presidents as a flexible power to be in creased or withdrawn at legislative whim. If this appointive power is to be questioned to the extent that appointments are allowed to become a major issue of debate and week-long research by cabinet members, then this power should be transferred to cabinet and appoint ments made through a nomination-group elec tion system. As Mr. Favro has pointed out, the proposed amendment concerns only committee chairmen and compensated positions. If cabinet feels that this type of appointment requires special con sideration, possibly the proposal should be to transfer this class of appointments to cabinet nominations or to CPIC. The second objection to this proposed amend ment is the time element involved. As the proposal stands, appointments would be read at one cabinet meeting and voted upon at the following one. In most cases, this would in volve a period of one week. However, cabinet has been known to forestall weekly meetings for bi-weekly ones. The pro posal does not take into account this two-week period that might elapse between the first and last reading of appointments, a time lapse which might hinder establishment of ah emer gency or urgent committee. Cabinet members admittedly need more time to consider appointments. However, we do not feel they need a full week or possible two weeks. An average of three committee chairmen are appointed per cabinet meeting, which would involve “research” on three persons. If cabinet would print a list of pending ap- BIBLE STUDY, 9 p.m., 275 Thompson COLLEGIAN SOPHOMORE BOARD, 7:30 p.m., 9 Carnegie FROTH ART STAFF AND CANDIDATES, 7:30 p.m., Froth office, Carnegie NEWMAN CLUB CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE DISCUSSION, 7:30 p.m., 304 Old Main WRA BEGINNERS’ SWIM CLUB, 6:45 p.m., White Hall pool WRA ADVANCED SWIM CLUB, 7:30 p.m., White Hall pool WRA OFFICIALS’ CLUB, 6:30 p.m., 2 White HaU FIELD AND STREAM DIVISION OF OUTING CLUB, 7:30 p.m., 121 Sparks OUTING CLUB, 7:30 p.m., 121 Sparks NITTANY GROTTO, 7:30 p.m., Mineral In dustries FRENCH CLUB, 7 p.m., McElwain study lounge YOUNG DEMOCRATS MEETING, 7 p.m., 217 Willard SCABBARD AND BLADE SOCIETY BUSI NESS MEETING AND SMOKER, 7:15 p.m., Delta Upsilon INSURANCE CLUB, 7 p.m., Alpha Epsilon Pi YOUNG REPUBLICANS CLUB, 7 p.m., 202 Willard WORLD UNIVERSITY SERVICE COMMITTEE MEETING, 7 p.m., 304 Old Main DAIRY SCIENCE CLUB, 7 p.m., 117 Dairy STUDENT BRANCH OF AMERICAN SOCIETY OF AGRICULTURE ENGINEERS, 7 p.m., 105 Agriculture Engineering LA VIE CANDIDATES, 7 p.m., 317 Willard UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL Pasquale Alessandra, Donald Bailey, Charles Blockson, Ferae Bor of, Edwin Calabra, John Campbell, Norman Cease, Francis Curtis, George Dougherty, Vanessa Edelen, Yvonne Fino, Rich ard Frantz, Roosevelt Grier, Barbara Kabak jian, William Mertz, John Palo, David Powell; David Rupert, Thaddeus Schultz, Theodore Stone, William Straub, Howard Van Dusen, Leonard Windish, Richard Kling.

Business Mgr. ‘Alternate’ System Favored Approval by All-University Cabinet of a con stitutional amendment establishing a . uniform system of alternates for absent members would fill an apparent gap that now exists. Tonight the group will hear the second read ing of an amendment proposed by Ben Sinclair, chairman of the Board of Dramatics and Fo rensics, requiring that the method of substi tution for cabinet members follow the consti tutional hierarchy of the group represented. The amendment also provides that the seats of All-University vice president and secretary treasurer remain vacant if the elected official is absent. If passed tonight and next week (it requires three readings and approvals to amend the - constitution) it will eliminate a situation which allows cabinet members to name random sub stitutes. No longer would there be reason to criticize a substitute for being named without possibly authentic reasons. Arguments against the main proposal center around the belief that setting the alternate might result in sending a less qualified person to cabinet. This need not be so. If there is someone else within the group who is better informed on a current issue, he can attend also and have the alternate yield him the floor. Criticism of the second part of the amend ment points out that by allowing no substitues for the ■ vice-president and secretary-treasurer, there is a real danger of leaving one or two vacant seats at a future meeting. This is pos sible, but it must be realized that the consti tution provides no substitute for those seats. The students have elected only one man to do the job. By accepting this amendment, cabinet can correct a situation that gives rise to much mis understanding and still set a feasible policy. We urge this step. . pointments to be included in the pre-cabinet reports an agenda, and issue the list by the Tuesday preceding cabinet meeting, members would have two and a half days to consider 1 the appointments and would at the same day forego holding up the appointments any length of time. The amendment was undoubtedly proposed in the spirit of a rightful check on executive powers. However this spirit must not be car ried into the realms of censorship. We hope cabinet i tonight will consider the full signifi cance of this proposed amendment. —Peggy McClain UNIVERSITY PLACEMENT SERVICE Those qualified for interviewing are: undergraduates who will receive degrees in January, 1955; M.S. candidates who have completed at least one semester of study; and PhD candidates who will receive degrees in 1955.

Interpreting the News Problems increase Over British Pact One of the great frustrations of diplomacy in these times is that the settlement of every problem seems to create or accentuate an other one. This is pointed up by the signing of the Anglo-Egyptian agree ment ending British occupation of the Suez Canal zone. Britons are not. happy about it, of course. The Beaverbrooks re fer to it as a new low of the im perial idea. That is an exaggera tion. The low in British imperial ism' was reached with India, and all else is or will be anticlimax, merely incidents in the rising world tide of independence. Imperialism, so far as Britain is concerned, hardly exists any more. Even in central Africa, and West Indies the main idea of im perialism, which was to exploit underdeveloped areas for the benefit of a metropolitan nation, is rapidly being reversed, and the responsibilities of control are becoming more of a liability than an asset. France, the only other Western nation which still controls large non-related areas is beginning to learn this too. That leaves Russia as the only great power still prac ticing what we grew up to know as imperialism. There’s no use in the British crying spilled dominions. It was inevitable. Magna Charta, the Boston tea party, the storming of the Bastille—essentially unimpor tant but highly indicative steps in man’s, search for freedom— made sure-of that. Indeed, Britain may now find that she- can do business with Egypt, as she does with India, on an even more profitable basis than before. ' - The agreement to hand over the important Suez military in stallations to Egypt, .however, ac centuates the constant tension which exists in the Middle East between the Jews and the Arabs. Israel feels that she will be left rather naked oh her southwestern flank in the face of bitter- Arab determination to regain the lost lands of Palestine. To the outsider, this may appear a rather academic complaint from Jerusalem, since Israel is obviously capable of tak ing care of any Arab military threat at this time. The Jews know, however, of the bitter anti-Jewish program con ducted by the Arabs, even in their secondary schools; they know Egypt will receive Allied arms to fill the vacuum left at the canal by British withdrawal;. they fear the shot in the arm the Egyptians may get from complete mastery in their own house. On their part,.the Arabs—andi Thursday; October 21, 1954 By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst a lot of objective observers! too— ; foresee the time when immigra tion, if continued, and the devel opment of such a dynamic people as the Jews, will make Palestine too small for Israel. For this rea son, the Arabs proclaim that they are at continuous war with Israel,, despite the UN-negotiated truce. The seeds of the new-struggle germinate faster and faster... University Has Name ‘Monopoly 9 ,: Penn Claims Which is more famous - the Pennsylvania State University or the University of Pennsylvania. Penn State is, the Daily Penn sylvanian, U of P paper, thinks. “Outside the State,” the paper commented editorially last week; “there seems to be no-one at all who has not, for some inexplic able reason, heard of Penn State.” What to do about it? ■ Refer to Penn as “Pennsylvan ia,” the daily suggests. Penn State, anyway, the paper comments wearily, has a “virtual monopoly” on the term “Penn.” Now that that’s settled . . . 6 Freshmen Receive $250 Scholarships Six freshmen have received scholarships ■of $250 from the Food Fair Stores Foundation.
