System of Appointments Tash-ed' At last Thuisday% Cabinet Lash Howes. presi dent of the Association of Independent Men, made a plea fur "new blood" in student govern ment which made several people highly indig nant and which caused quite a stir in what looked to be a routine organizational meeting of Cabinet. Howes, his Cabinet agenda in hand, quickly Scanned the list of Cabinet appointees for the coming year and bemoaned the fact that prac tically every one of them were prominent in one or more additional campus activity. In other words he was not pleased because only so-called "campus wheels" were receiving appointments from Cabinet. Another situation which came under Howes fire was the fact that very few independents were noticeable in the various groups who are appointed by Cabinet. Howes wants to break new people into stu dent government and to presumably spread the work load over a larger group of persons. He said he thought that there must be many stu dents on campus who could hold down jobs pres ently held by students with three or four other activities. Now this little speech had many good points. Student government would do well to have some new blood to go along with the old. Also, it would likely profit from having some more in dependents in its various groups. However, as it was pointed out by Susan Hill. president of the Home Economics student coun cil. it takes interest on the part of the students who are to comprise this "new blood." She observed that very few independents apply for any Cabinet committees. This is cer tainly no way for them to get the appointments. However, in all fairness we must say that perhaps—and only perhap-i—there has been Some sort of unhealthy precedent set tip in past Learn About Health Service The students are not properly informed about the University Health Service. This answers one of the questions discussed at Student Encampment by the workshop on communications and health service. Several recommendations were made by the workshop group, most of which we feel would greatly aid the efficiency of the program from the student standpoint. The group also discussed the general stand ing of health knowledge for the average student. It was decided that it is far from what it should be. We agree with this opinion, and feel that steps should be taken to correct it. One of the most important suggestions made by the workshop was in line with corrections for this condition. It said that "the required fresh men health courses should be revised to include emphasis on taking responsibility for dental and health care in community living." At present the freshmen health courses delve deeply into various diseases, their causes, and their cures. It would seem that, unless one were training to be a doctor or nurse, it would be more valuable to be taught that if a person has a temperature, he should be taken to a doctor. The average student at the University has received medical and dental care without knowl edge of its cost. He takes it for granted, and often does not realize how often he should be regularly sent to a doctor or dentist for proper health care. The freshman health courses should be altered to teach students a basic understanding of health in the home and community living. They should be taught how to care for the health needs of a family through proper and wise use of dentists and doctors. If the course were changed to give a thorough education in these fields, the University could Safety Valve -. . . Too Much Power?

Pei-Imps, little by little the group par ticipating in student government and other ac tivities also, has been decreasing in total num ber. This could mean that the people who are appointing and promoting are only choosing close friends, or fraternity brothers, or sorority sisters. This is one possible explanation. This is not an accusation of Cabinet or any other cam pus group. As a matter of fact, we doubt that this is wholesale practice at Penn 'State today. How ever. we are quite sure that it is a practice which goes on. This goes on almost everywhere—not only on college campuses, _ If you did as Howes did at Cabinet last week you would surely be able to find a major campus activity to put behind the name of all the ap pointments listed on the Cabinet agenda. This has led many people to the false belief that one of the prerequisites for student leaders is other activities. This gets to the real problem with trying to inject new blood into student government. The constant picking of people with other activities has scared the beginners out. And they've got to begin somewhere. Interfraternity Council President Daniel Land, at the same Cabinet meeting, voiced the opinion that he would rather choose someone who has already shown his qualifications by distinguish ing himself in other activities rather than take a person who doesn't know what he's doing. This we take to mean a student who has nothing going for him but interest. If this is the attitude of all student leaders then Howes aspiration will never see the light of day. For if new people are not going to be given a try then they are going to stay away from the Cabinet Personnel Interviewing Com mittee and these same old names are going to be appearing on Cabinet agendas for years and years to come. more adequately provide citizens who would be an asset to the community in which they live. In addition to the discussion of health edu cation, the members of the workshop made several suggestions which might improve the students understanding of our health service. One of these was that hat society counselors be informed concerning the health service pro gram and discuss it fully with freshmen during the orientation program. This would definitely help students under stand what the service offers, and what things cannot be treated through the service. Accord ing to Dr. Herbert R. Glenn. director of health service, many student; do not understand what the service should be used for. We believe that students would benefit from a better understanding of the health service. This also might be aided by including informa tion about dental care and its necessity in the health service pamphlet which is sent out to incoming students and their parents. Since many of the incoming students, accord ing to Dr. Glenn, show a lack of proper dental care, it would be advisable to give any infor mation necessary to parents concerning health of students who will be attending the University. We feel that the hat societies could contribute a great deal to the understanding of the health service by the student body. This would be a worthwhile project for .some organizations who are not always kept busy. Class advisory boards could also make this a worthwhile project. Only if the students have a thorough knowl edge and understanding of the service can they complain of its inadequacies. These inadequacies often represent ignorance on the part of the student body rkther than actual lacking on the part of the health service. whether hereditary. self-appointed. or elec tive, may be justly pronounced the very definition of tyranny. The quotation speaks for itself. Of course, Madison was a radical and revolutionary of his day, and Cabinet in its infinite wisdom may see fit to disregard such "rabble-rousing" and in cindiary writings JAZZ CLUB. 7 p.m.. 121 Sparks MINERAL INDUSTRIES Student Council, 7. p.M., 104 Willard MORNING WORSHIP SERVICE.

Dye Little Man on Campus Interpreting the News Nasser's Steadily By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Anaiust Behind the scenes as Britain and France seek to put full steam behind their Suez policies is a matter of money as well as principles. Every day that the discussions delay the final showdown puts Egypt's Nasser in better shape at a point where he is weakest—the pocketbook Before nationalization at the canal Egypt was getting about seven per cent of its take. Now it's about 40 per cent. The rest, paid by countries which refuse to let their ships pay Nasser, goes into the blocked accounts of the old Suez company in Britain, France and now the United States. The old company has no inten tion of paying Nasser anything out of these funds. Nasser has no intention of paying off the old company's share holders until there is a settlement of the over all political question of the canal. Then he intends to claim the blocked funds and use them to pay off. Right now they amount to some 55 million pounds and are growing. About 64 million is needed on the basis of the esti mate of share values when na tionalization was decreed. Thus Nasser, if he continues to operate the canal for a while, will by his own bookkeeping get the water way for nothing. The status of the blocked funds under international law, how ever, is a matter that may be long in .solution. But every day that he holds on l between now and any settlement, which recognizes Egypt's sover eignty over the canal puts gasser in better shape to withstand the economic forces which the Allies are preparing to bring against him. That's why the United States is cutting off payments by her ships. The decision of Britain and France to press the issue before the United Nations, getting the machinery started even while the users' association is still being organized.. indicates the speed they consider necessary to parry Nasser's consolidation of his posi tion. There is no expectation that the Security Council will be able to adopt any resolution in the face of Russian support for Nasser. There is no indication that there is sufficient pressure in the users association to drive Nasser from his position. All the steps now being taken by the allies can, therefore, be considered as designed primarily to prepare a record which can be used as backgronnd for more' di rect action.
