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.

Repetitious, Weak
easily arises from two reports given on the
same material. 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.

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.

life then as now, even if 'there

The old College was a little
more interested in affairs out. at
the riding stable than it seems to
be today. 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.
Somebody resignes as cliqhe
chairman of the Campus party
and somebody else is • appointed
to replace the first somebody un
til clique elections are foUght next

News is wonderful. They 'say
there's nothing as old as a -.day
bld newspaper, but when news
gets to , be ten years old it's new
news.
