Today** Woatkor— Cloudy and Warm V6L 55. No. 98 Pdrty Office Seekers Answer 1 Questions on Current Topics By DOTTIE STONE will the next All-University president know your opinions so he can represent you in student government? This question was put to the three men running for the highest elected position—that of All-University President, at a Daily Collegian press conference yesterday afternoon. They all agreed that more students opinions would be available 1 if more students could hold positions in student government. Rudolph Lutter, Lion party candidate, said he felt that a few students hold down too many positions. “I would rather see one per son devote time to one or two positions, rather than trying to handle five to 10 activities,” Lut ter said Earl Seely, Campus party can didate, also said that the large number of activities on campus contributed to lack of interest. Students tend to get wrapped up in one field of activities so they lose interest in campus problems as a whole. “The only time students show interest in politics is in the fall and spring when someone they know is running for office,” Seely said. “I have no definite program for remedying this, though.” John. Leasure, State party can didate, also felt student govern ment could be helped if activity posts could be spread around to more people. .Role of Cabinet The three disagreed on what the role of the highest governing body, All-University Cabinet, should be. Leasure felt it should basically be an organ for ideas, not a leg islative body. Seely took the op posite view, saying that he felt Cabinet is a medium between the administration and the students for passing legislation, airing problems, and ironing out student difficulties. Lutter - said he felt students must be able to take more re sponsibility to make Cabinet an effective legislative body. He pro posed a campus community gov ernment committee, which would be composed of students and. fac ulty. New Committee “The administration would take more consideration of solutions for a student problem, if both faculty and students have worked together on the solution, Lutter explained. None of the three had exam ined the revised All-University constitution, which calls for a change in the judicial system by setting up a Supreme Court. Cab inet will discuss the constitution tonight.

A new hard Red policy, reminiscent of the Stalin era, appeared to have been ushered in. It was expected to have repercussions elsewhere in Russia’s East Euro pean empire. Conceivably it could mean the end of former Soviet Premier Malenkov’s career. The Central Committee of the Hungarian Communist party to day accused Premier Imre Nagy of “right wing deviationism.” He is a 58-year-old Communist who had been front man for the poli cies of Malenkov. It appeared certain Nagy could not remain many days longer in office, wave of Arrest* As this about-face of policies was being announced, reliable re ports from Budapest seeped into Vienna telling of a wave of ar rests.

Senior Gift Poll Gets Little Response A poll taken among approximately 90 seniors for class gift sug gestions has revealed that few students have given much thought to the subject.

Ouster been Expected Nagy’s ouster had been ex pected ever since Rakosi returned from Moscow recently and an nounced the country would go back to its program of heavy in dustrialization. On Feb. 20, Nagy fell ill with a “serious heart con dition” according to Radio Buda pest.

This would help the rest of the stu dents more than a big memorial of some kind.” Edwin Casey, eighth semester business administration major: “How about a scholarship? I feel that there are enough plaques around. A scholarship is more personal . . . something that one person could really use.” Richard Bowers, eighth semes ter chemistry major: “I’d suggest putting the money to use in the All-Faith Chapel. Not the medita tion chapel, but the main one.” Donna Lafferiy, eighth semes ter arts and letters major: "It seems to me we need more books for our library.

Under the revised constitution, the president of AIM may veto legislation. That veto, however, may be nullified by a two-thirds vote of the board or by a two thirds vote of the voting mem bers of the executive committee. At its last meeting the board had voted tentatively to delete the section of the constitution containing provisions for the veto power. Added Responsibility William Johnson, Nittany Coun cil president, said he believed AIM was ready to accept the re sponsibility accompanying the in corporation of the veto power in the constitution. This power, he said, should not be so stated as to give the president too much pow er. Johnson’s motion to allow a two-thirds vote of the executive committee to override the veto was passed. James W. Dean, assistant to the dean of men, said he was pleased with the passage of the modified executive veto. “I feel this action will strength en AIM,” he said, “and will pro vide direction for future actions in the AIM board of governors.” The new constitution states that the duties of the vice presi dent will include ex-officio chair manship of the constitution and projects committees. Vice Presidential Duties Henry Simm, chairman of the projects committee, said that since the vice president has close con tact with the president and has a vote on the executive commit tee that he would be influential in helping to put committee plans into affect. Simm also suggested that the chairmen of all standing com mittees be voting members of the executive committee. This suggestion, put into the form of a motion by Leonard Richards, secretary, was defeated by the board.
