The theory behind the or ganization of last year's program recognized a vital need on the Penn State campus. Realizing that too many students assumed leadership positions without proper training or indoctrina tion, cabinet set up a program which it hoped Would enlighten prospective leaders on organ izational functions, procedure, and significances. At its beginning, the program seemed a huge success. Registration was relatively high and a good 65 students attended the first meeting. However, by the end of the course, attendance was averaging about 25 to 30 students. The decline in interest in the course was very probably due to the somewhat cut and dried procedure adopted after the first few meetings. The course became more or less a review of the informative booklets sold to mem bers and surface-scratching talks by either a student leader or member of the administration. None of this was really anyone's fault. Many of the talks were last minute engagements made because the original speaker could not attend; many of the reviews were made because no speaker at all showed up. But possibly the real problem lay in the fact that the program leaders were not certain of the exact aim of the program . . . teaching stu dents the basic procedural aspects of running an organization (which usually resulted in a vague smattering of ways to write business letters, shelves on which Roberts Rules can be found, and the structure of the Central Pro motlons Agency) or helping them develop a Holiday: Permanent! Students have once again proved themselves masters of an unpleasant situation. They have returned from a weekend in Philadelphia un accompanied by any complaints to the Uni versity regarding conduct. This is not the first time the student body has corrected its actions under criticism. Simi lar self-restraint was exercised when students broke themselves of the habit of tearing down the Beaver Field goal posts after all games— win, lose, or draw; and again when, after the much publicized raid on women's dorms in the Spring of 1952, students did not repeat the act in 1953. Commendable conduct at Philadelphia was the students' answer to a bargain they made with the University. The students through All- University Cabinet made improved conduct one of the conditions in requesting a half-holiday from Saturday morning classes before the Penn- Penn State game. More than just fulfilling a bargain was ac complished Saturday by the students in Phila delphia. Students also gave themselves a point from where to begin a campaign for the return of a permanent football half-holiday. This point can be re-enforced by similar conduct in Pitts burgh on the weekend of Nov. 20 and 21. ... It seems cabinet should now begin to act on a means of re-establishing a holiday system satisfactory to both students and the faculty and administration. An idea expressed by both groups has been the setting up of a semester schedule calling for one, extra day of classes. This day would be taken off at the descretion of cabinet, either all at once or as two half days. Programs INVITATIONS COMMERCIAL PRINTING 352 E.

Phone AD 8-8981 What potential leaders want to know is what problems face cabinet, how solutions are found, how it implements control of campus organila tions, and what form cabinet discussions take. Nor do students want to hear a resume of Parliamentary Procedure, quoted from Roberts' Rules. They want a chance to use it themselves, analyze it with the help of specific examples of compliance with and violations of such proced ure. Students want, to feel, when the course is finished, that they can not Only recite defini tions of a point of order or a personal privilege, but also that they are prepared to sense im mediately the significance of this procedure. The Student Encampment committee on stu dent government has, perhaps unconsciously, boosted the pertinence of this year's training program by recommending that cabinet ap pointees be required to complete such a course. This in itself is a plea for a more solid instruc tive foundation) for student leadership. It now remains for present student leaders to acknowledge and utilize the products of this training program, by drawing from its mem bers for leadership positions and by taking it upon themselves to attend and profit from the program meetings. The training program will not attract at tendance unless it has something to offer its members. This year it has the potential to offer a great deal. But even this will fall unheeded unless the program in its entirety is strongly supported by the student body and student government. Gazette ...

If it was not used, the extra day would be cancelled at the end of the semester. It is academically possible to set aside a day to be used as a holiday without having to cancel classes or confuse an established calendar. Students have shown the ability to appreci ate such a much-needed break. Cabinet should, therefore, see to setting up this holiday per manently •.for each semester. Why Are These People So Happy?

But since the Republican can didates in nearly all cases tried to make it appear their defeat would be a slap at Eisenhower, he and they are going to have to lie 'in the bed they have made on that score. Actually, there is more than one point where the returns give Eis enhower's program considerable advantage. For instance, neither the Demo crats nor the Republicans who tried to block Secretary of Agri culture Benson's flexible " farm price support program will feel so brash as they did before.
