Defends Amendment
TO THE EDITOR: In defense of the constitu
tional amendment I proposed to All-University
Cabinet (Oct. 14) I wish to make the following
comments on Miss McClain’s editorial yester
day.
To begin with, I’m in favor of the idea of
incorporating the proposed appointments into
the reports issued the Tuesday prior to the cab
inet meeting at which the names are to be ap
proved. This will accomplish what I am aiming
at, which is to give cabinet members the oppor
tunity to know whom they are approving. I
feel that we cannot be asked to give our vote
of approval to someone who is a stranger to us.
Such a change in the amendment leaves no
•argument over the time element or the red
tape. One should be able to make appointments
two and one-half days before the vote of ap
proval.
The amendment does not imply any lack of
confidence in the All-University president. It
just asks for a preview of whom we will he
asked to approve. The idea of approval is al
ready in the constitution and has never been
interpreted to mean a distrust of the president.
I hope that the intent of this amendment is
conveyed to the students. My wording originally
may have been in error and this has been cor
rected.
I would also like to add that on March 24,
1954 while campaigning for office, both All-
University presidential candidates, Jesse Ar
nelle and Lewis Wade, went on record as favor
ing an amendment with such intent behind it.

Standardize Black Marks
Women’s Student Government Association has
begun revision of the blackmark system through
establishment of a committee to investigate
present implementation.
We hope the committee will especially em
phasize setting up and enforcing a system of
standardized blackmarks for all women’s dormi
tories. While WSGA rulings call for such a sys
tem, past years have shown irregular enforce
ment of it.
It is understandable that irregular enforce
ment now exists; dormitory housemothers have
little to follow but personal interpretation of
what merits a blackmark.
However, a successful revision by the com
mittee will greatly remedy what is now an un
fair policy, through two specific points slated
for revision:
1. Having black mark regulations made for
one dormitory pass through Freshman Council,
Freshman Regulations Board, and WSGA Sen
ate before becoming effective.
2. Making black mark regulations available
for all to see.
The former proposed revision would allevi
ate any “spontaneous” black marks imposed as
a result of student-housemother personal con
flict and possibly of a questionable basis. It
would also, in case of appeals from students
receiving black marks, provide Judicial with an
authentic record of actions deserving penalty
and allow the body a precedent for making de
cisions on cases.
The latter proposed revision—making black
mark regulations available for all to see—would
be of direct benefit to both students and house
mothers. Primarily it would give students a
“beforehand” warning of what actions will be
reprimanded. Also it will offer housemothers ,a
relatively valid basis for judging student be
havior.

le Man on Campus
Wurcie (J3eaucoup
Winter is drawing nigh, all ye lady inhabitants of our expansive
campus. A young man’s fancy doesn’t get to turning our way until
spring, but it’s just about this time of year that our fancy turns to
thoughts of snowy Saturday nights and icy walks up the Mall, Our
thoughts turn even faster from this to some gallant lad to warm and
guide us through the perils of
winter. .
Let us then review for a mo
ment just what the University has
|to offer in the
way of manhood,
pne excellent but
superficial way
of judging men
is by dress; shall
we begin there?
The largest
group of. Penn
State men belong
to the classifica
tion of Engineer
ing Freshmen
Type. This group
does not neces- -i ~'
sarily contain Marcie MacDonald
only freshmen, however; some en
gineers never grow up. These, lads
uniformly wear jeans, green
shirts, combat boots, and leather
jackets. They are generally .frown
ing, perhaps because the badge
of their profession—the slide rule
—beats them perpetually in exact
ly the right spot to produce a
frown
The second largest group, by
clothes, is the Liberal Arts Senior
Type. These guys are real gooders.
They pay huge laundry bills for
an unending supply of white
shirts which they immediately
wreck by rolling up the sleeves
to. just below the elbow. They
each own at least a dozen cash
mere sweaters with matching
socks, plus a few pairs with .an
gora beer mugs for good" luck.

FIRST APPLE GWEN ME IN FIVE YEARS—
IT'S A GREAT FEELING TO KNOW SOME
By MARGIE MacDONALD
Each retires periodically behind a
pipe for 'meditation. •
Closely related to this, type is
the Politician Type. /These gentle
men most nearly arrive at the
ideal of dress set by Esquire ex
cept for an aura of the ridiculous
that 1 surrounds their every move.
Gray suits, ranging from banker
to charcoal, are- their uniform,
garnished with plaid ties, socks
and suspenders. On extra cold
days they protect themselves with
paisley print vests. They can be
distinguished from the Liberal
Arts Seniors, in cases of similar
identity, by the way they talk in
whispers while casting suspicious
glances at every passerby.
a t
And then , there is the Letter
man Type. It is not necessary to
describe their trademark, but may
we add that it is possible to tell
in what sport the letter was won
by the accompanying garb. The
Lettermen ape bound by the “S”
Club constitution to wear their
letter sweaters day and night,
year in and year out. And they
do, for-the most part. Special per
mission is granted on occasion for
a well-behaved member to array
