Encampment Report * • • AU-University Cabinet tonight will complete a circle such as those often trod by hopelessly loot wonderers when it acts on a second report Bald set off recommendations concerning student encampment. At a previous Cabinet meeting, the group heard and passed a report and the recommenda tions presented by Robert Smoot, chairman of the student encampment evaluation committee. Tonight it will be presented a report and recom mendations by Allan Schneirov, chairman of the 1354 student encampment. First, Cabinet time is too valuable to spend on repetitious reports. If two agencies were collecting material during the sessions at Mont Alto with the intention of reporting to Cabinet, they should have combined their results into one comprehensive work. Judging from the content of both, this could have been done. Second, and worse than the needless rehash of facts and recommendations, is the possibility that the two reports will be conflicting causing distress and more delay. Mr. Schneirov said that in preparing his recommendations he at tempted to have them coincide with Mr. Smoot's previous ones and added that in case of con flict he thought acceptance of the later report would cause The voiding of the earlier recom- Mendations. Mr. Smoot when .contacted concerning his report said he felt his original recommendations, if they conflict with Mr. Schneirov's, will not be voided but that the latter's will. Robert Homan, All-University secretary-treasurer, said he felt Mr. Schneirov's recommendations, if passed, would be accepted in place of the earlier ones. This is not meant to make these men look foolish. It is to illustrate the confusion that Arthur Cloetingh For 35 years, the dramatics department and th'e name of Arthur Charles Cloetingh have been inseparable. The physical association was broken Friday by Mr. Cloetingh's death. But the ideals and theories which he has given to the dramatics department and the University will remain a vital part of the campus for many decades. Perhaps one of the greatest contributions Mr. Cloetingh made to the University was his role in founding the Penn State Players and his support and guidance of this group. It will be with deep emotions that these students especial ly continue the program that their late counse lor has established for them. • With equal sympathy the entire University pays tribute to Mr. Cloetingh.

We do not find too many dif ferences between the two sets of recommenda tions since most of the points deal with dif ferent areas. Yet, considering some factors are not mentioned in the second report, the question of voiding by omission rises in relation to the first. Also, Mr. Schneirov, in attempting not to conflict with Mr. Smoot. has made his recom mendations very weak. They • are vague and far from being understandable. They hinge on such words as "should" and "if the schedule," the latter referring to Mr. Smoot's prior report which, incidently, is not included with the new one. Probably the weakest recommendations, and the one'referring to the subject that caused the most discontent at the 1954 encampment, deals with the selection of participants. In Septem ber the cry was raised that those asked -to go had been chosen too hurridly and without• con sulting enough studdnt leaders and members of the faculty and administration. Both reports call for a committee consisting of four students, two from the faculty, and two from the administration. Mr. Smoot's report says they should choose 80 per cent of the par ticipants by position and 20 per cent by their answers to the question, "Why do you think you should go to student encampment?" Mr. Schneirov merely says the committee should begin choosing positions for invitations. This illustrates the weakness of the report Cabinet will receive tonight and the problems that will result because it is a duplication of' a• previous report. Cabinet must stop receiving reports• just for the sake of receiving reports and must stop acting on two sets of recommen dations covering the same subject. Thus reports will be strengthened and made meaningful. Macßae Recognition A brave and honest stand has at long last won public recognition. It took courage when, in August, 1952, Wen dell S. Macßae, publications production man ager in the department of public information, stood by his personal beliefs and refused to sign the loyalty oath required of state em ployees by the 1951 Pechan Act. Mr. Macßae didn't believe that at the whim of the General Assembly he should be required to declare his loyalty to America. He termed the oath requirement a "useless gesture" and pointed to his Marine Oath and his service in the Marines as evidence enough of his loyalty. This was " not enough. He was discharged from his job at the University. Mr. Macßae stood by his convictions until, eventually, his name was cleared, the Board of Trustees de clared him "completely loyal," and he was re instated. The American Civil Liberties 'Union recently saw fit to publicly congratulate Mr. Macßae, for demonstrating "belief in the prinCiples of freedom and equality in education." In so doing, the ACLU has capped "the Mac- Rae case" on a healthy note.

Campug Litt "Certainly I think it's a good piece of creative work—l thou so in 1951 when I first graded it," • Marcie geaucoup The prime purpose of newspapers is to publish news, but some times old news makes better news than new news. The Nov. 25 issue of the Daily Collegian of 13 years ago ran a story on the 'old Penn State Christian Association's annual. social inquiry, trip to New York City. This weekend the new University Christian Association is sponsor ing a trip to New York. City, but this time the purpose is more scholarly. The trip is primarily. a study tour of the United Nations. A piece of old- news that would make banner headlines today from the same back issue was a small story stating that written permissions from parents for co eds over 21 to drink could be given to the Women's Student Government- Association Judicial Chairman. It would appear that the coeds' social code has undergone some changes over the years, consider ing this in the light of the present WSGA rules. In a different area, deer hunt ers who cut classes in 1941 might well have bought their venison from a meat market. It seems there was a $5 cut fine for classes missed after the Thanksgiving vacation. The College Senate did, however, consider a plan to ex empt those peoPle who really were going deer hunting, and net just extending their vacations.

A front page story, in February, 1941, explained how the riding club adviser had' bought a new hunter. It also gave a short summary of the horse's career. And there have always been the same old stories on politics.
