CPIC Doing Too Much
. At last -4.. ek•, Cabinet meeting a few subtle
swipes welt. taken at Collegian for failing to
inform the ge•ne-ral student body about the Cabi
net Pei honnel Interviewing Committee and how
it works.
Edmond Kramer, president of the Business
Administration student council, said that one
reason new students are not appearing in stu
dent government circles is that they don't know•
how to get on various committees: He also im
plied that Collegian was partly at fault in that
it has not fully publicized the work of CPIC.
The only work CPIC is to appoint people to a
myriad of committees, boards, and other similar
groups. These never-ending lists do not make
life most interesting reading in the world. Col
legian runs all these stories. There is not an
other group on campus of equal importance to
CPIC which receives more publicity.
The controversy surrounding the matter( if
there is any controversy) seems to lie in how
important CPIC is,
Granted, CPIC has an important function.
Seeing that capable personnel fill these com
mittee posts is quite important.
Now for all those persons on campus who are
interested in beginning a career in student gov
ernment here is the scoop. Edmond Kramer
thinks students feel that CPIC is only another
anonymous four-initial group which meets once
a semester. Well, Col:egian here and now and
Collegian Should Print Names
What disciplinary case names should The be presented, they do not change the fact that
Daily Collegian print? We feel that it should state laws allow these names to be printed.

cases who are 18 years of age or over. penally, his name will be printed in the student
This is in accord with the state law which
says that the names of violators 18 or over may
be printed by newspapers. According to the
law, newspapers must withhold the names of
those under 18.
As it stands now the University's judicial
bodies withhold the names of all students in
volved in disciplinary cases. That is. all cases
except customs violators, whose names are
printed on the basis that there is no connotation
of criminal behavior connected with a customs
violation.
The judicial bodies at the University to which
we refer are the Senate Subcommittee on Stu
dent Affairs. Tribunal, the Association of Inde
pendent Men's Judicial Board of Review, and
the Women's Student Government Association
Judicial Board.
A reporter is present at some of these groups'
meetings where he gets all the facts and back
ground of the cases for printing in the paper.
However, none of these groups allow the names
of rule violators to be printed in the paper.
Is there any reason why students over 18 who
have caused disciplinary action to be taken
against them should not have their names
printed? We believe that, although reasons may
Safety Valve
More Words on the Half-Holiday
TO THE EDITOR: The efforts of the All-Uni
versity Cabinet to obtain a half-holiday for the
Penn game this week were laudatory. However,
the refusal of the University to grant this half
holiday in spite of Cabinet's efforts seems to
point out just one thing—that Student Govern
ment accomplishes nothing aside from what the
University wants done anyway.
The half-holiday issue provides the best evi
dence for proving this statement. With this issue
the All-University operated with complete sanc
tion of the student body: its actions were not
begun overnight but had been instituted a year
ago. Therefore the University was not dealing
with anything unexpected. Still, in the face
of a strong effort by Cabinet, the University
disregarded this student request and voted "No"
on the issue.
From this action by the University it is logi
cal to assume that future action of the same

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
DAVE RICHARDS, Business Manager
or Too Little?
forever wants students to know that CPIC is
the Cabinet Personnel Interviewing Committee.
This group made up of the nine council vice
presidents interviews applicants for Cabinet
committees (such as Campus Chest, Traffic
Court, Elections Committee) and any other cam
pus group which wants its services. If you want
to be on someone's committee then CPIC is the
group to see. . _
If the above description seems a trifle flimsy
it is because the appointment system is even
flimsier. CPIC is supposed to.interview all Cabi
net committee hopefuls. It does not interview
students for all the other campus groups.
It interviews only portions of these. Who de
cides which portions of those interviewed should
go through CPIC seems a mystery at this time.
It has been said that CPIC does not have the
time to hold interviews for all Cabinet appoint
ments plus any other student groups which want
to enlist its services.
If this is the case then CPIC should dump
all these other groups and stick to Cabinet.
Other activities will surely find some way to
screen their personnel.
Evidence has been shown already that not all
Cabinet appointments have gone through CPIC.
If it is trying to do two jobs and is not turning
in efficient performances in either then it would
be wise to devote all its time to one or the other.
—The Editor
newspaper along with the story of his mis
demeanor. This is done providing he is 18 years
old or more. This fact and action is accepted by
both students and the University.
Why then, does this law not apply to actions
which are violations of University or dormitory
regulations? It has been said that it is harmful
to a student to have the detrimental publicity
given to his misdemeanor. People say that the
public, in this case the student body, will ostra
cize the student.
We claim that this is a part of any disciplin-
my action, and although a person should be
protected up to a certain age, he should cer
tainly be held responsible for his actions at the
age of 18.
When a student has his name in the paper
for some small infraction of a borough rule, and
at the same time another student will have his
name withheld from newspapers although he
has received severe disciplinary action from
some judicial body, there is an inconsistency on
the part of these groups.
We suggest that judicial groups at the Uni
versity take into consideration the state law
when deciding whether names should be printed.
—Sue Conklin
type will become commonplace, despite the
strongest action of All-University Cabinet or
the wishes of the student body. It follows that
in addition to voting "No" on the half-holiday
issue, the University has also dealt the death
blow to student government and knocked from
Cabinet whatever prestige it had, reducing it to
just another "nice idea" that failed to work.
Lastly, it would be a good guess that the stu
dent attitude toward the demise of the Cabinet
will be much the same as its reported attitude
toward the University's "No" decision, "So
what?"

On Other Campuses
The Daily Collegian exchanges with several college pub
lications and from time to . time the goings-on and problems
(many similar to our own here at State) will be brought to
you in this column.
CONCERNING CUSTOMS: Freshmen, now that it's al
most over you'll have to admit that the customs program
wasn't so bad after all. It could
have been worse
For instance, freshmen at the
University of Connecticut were
forced to participate in a "Pied
Pipers" parade. Coeds wearing
short skirts ALAK (a lot above
the knees), large hair ribbons and
carrying stuffed toys, paraded to
a pep rally with the •freshman
men garbed in loud pajamas. On
second thought that might not be
such torture after all.
SEATING PLAN: At Texas
A&M, enrollment 7113, a seating
plan for football games similar to
the one Penn State has adopted
for this year is in use—with one
exception. Immediately following
the kickoff, all boundaries sepa
rating the classes will be re
moved, allowing the students to
fill any vacant seats in a section
closer to mid-field.
Many State students feel that
this is the ideal situation, but
in an institution this size only
pandemonium could result. Our
system which is on a trial basis
is a good one and shouldn't be
misused. If it doesn't work out
and a lot of section hopping oc
curs, probably find our
selves back in that specific seat,
in a specific row, in a specific
section.
CLOSE TO HOME: At Lehigh
University, measles have hit the
campus again. The red spots in
vaded there the same time last
spring that they were trying to
start an epidemic at Penn State.
Until Lehigh students can look
forward to an extra vacation,
however, 250 cases will have to
be recorded.
Another sickness, familiar to
this campus, the Dutch Elm dis
ease, is taking its toll at , Ohio
University. We haven't had trou
ble on a large scale recently, but
in Ohio, elms plahted over 100
years ago are gradually dying out
leaving only a
,few of the trees
on th.t r•olleqe green.
AT HOME: Hold on to your
hat; girls because evidently
someone on campus is starting a
collection of them. A coed was
crossing Grange parking lot on
her way to the HUB, shortly after
9 p.m. Monday night when some
one sneaked up behind her,
snatched her Scrolls hat and
started running.
"At first I thought someone was
joking," the coed said.
She described the person as a
husky girl wearing dungarees and
a jacket.
"I chased her for a while," she
said, "but lost track of her when
