Cabinet May Come to the Students At Cabinet Thui.,day night several interesting ideas were brought foi th out of the report of the Encampment workshop on "Making Student Government More Effective." The report, presented by workshop chairman Sue Hill, concentrated a great deal of its efforts toward communications. Apparently the work shop felt that this was a very basic fault in the present system. If this is how they felt they are right. If the student!: don't have a, chance to know they will not be interested. And lately there seems to be a trend toward getting "new" students informed of the administration's prob lems." Yes, the workshop report had many interest ing suggestions on how to better communicate between student government and the student. However, in the main, the bulk of the report was either impractical or redundant. One recommendation was that all sessions of All-University Cabinet be preceded and followed by coverage by WDFM, WMAJ, and The Daily Collegian. Speaking for the Collegian, Cabinet gets its share. if not more, of publicity right now. No great expansion can be made in this field. Since most students can't hear WDFM at lresent any more coverage from this point might ook good on paper but would be impractical. The only comment on WMAJ is that it may have certain quotas set up as to how much University news it broadcasts. However, this field might be ripe for progress. This is just one of the recommendations. There were others almost as meaningless. However, one good thing did come out of the report. This was not even among the original recommendations but was thrown before Cabi net spontaneously by Harry Martini. Junior class president. and we think it represents a step in the right direction. This recommendation, which was tacked on the' end of the others provided that Cabine,t give consideration to a plan whereby certain TlM—Ready for Cabinet? No When less than GO students attended the first meeting of the Tov.'n Independent Men last Wednesday night, many of TlM's officers were openly jubilant about the 'gigantic' turnout— and in comparison with last year's attendance, they had a perfect right to be. However•, the•most rabid optimist will admit that the attendance of but 6Q out of approxi mately 6000 Independents living down town leaves much to be desired. Why is it that so few bother to exercise their right to voice their opinion on matters that con cern all town indies7 Perhaps the answer is two fold. In the first place. some of the students that move downtown do so expressly to get away from all activities save eating. sleepingb and studying. They do not care a whit about student government. as long as they are given the oppor tunity to practice their three necessities, they aren't much interested in who runs the Uni versity. Nevertheless. judging fi om all the complaints heard downtown about things that do not fall into the aforementioned categories, not all TlM's are in this class. Perhaps the complainers stay away because they think that student government is an im potent function at best. They may point to such things as the vetoed Penn holiday and the park ing problem as examples of the futility of stu dent government. Safety Valve Refusal Is Not Reasonable TO THE EDITOR: There IS a solution to the problem of no half-holiday. Before I present this solution, I would like to review the problem as it was presented by. the deans. When the deans of the colleges decided that no half-holiday would be declared for the Penn game they gave as their reason the fact that it would - involve the student body's being in pos sible danger. They said that if a half-holiday were declared, those classes that are missed would have to be made up in the afternoon before the Thanksgiving recess. This would mean that most students would be traveling late at night in a time of the year when there is a possibility of bad weather. This seems to be the major bone of contention Wunder TF2 4 / 4 1 STATE MODEL AP (CAW AD INC CLUE. bowline* G_3o p.m.. =ii HUB. Usibremity lllimpital Tae•ear Charles Beck. George Brougham.

As Martini termed it, this would be a "special production" but would retain all the seriousness and dignity which sui rounds a regular Cabinet meeting. This seems to be a very good move. The real valuable part is the last because it is something that has been overlooked in the past when im provements were being called for. There has always been a need for students to . . know more about student government. However, the big step has been always left up to the stu dents. They have been invited to attend Cabinet meetings but they never came. They have been told the channels to follow to get into student government work. Mdny never took advantage of thetze. This is because many of these sought-after students need a push. They need to be led by the hand. There are some who are of the opinion that if a student does not have the initiative to go after a knowledge of studen't government then he doesn't deserve to get it. This is a nice rough attitude which undoubted ly assures that you will get interested people into student government but it is also an atti tude which allows many capable people to slip by. - Staging" a Cabinet meeting or two in 121 Sparks and freely publicizing it will be bringing student government to the students on a silver platter. By holding it in a large room it will take away the feeling that students must have that they are treading on hallowed ground when they walk into a'Cabinet meeting in 203 Hetzel Union. A move like this will do more than pleading editorials or polite urgings will ever do. —The Editor These individuals probably do not realize that many rights and privileges which they take for granted are actually products of student govern ment. For example, consider the student controlled disciplinary bodies—Tribunal and Association of Independent Men Judicial Board of Review. In many another institution, a minor infraction would bring a quick audience with the dean, not a hearing before peers. Even when the administration does not adopt every recommendation given it by All-Univer sity Cabinet, people active in governmental or ganizations will receive an explanation of the ruling given. During the year, representatives of the ad ministration will address TIM meetings concern ing their views on various issues of current debate. In fact, this is one of the best opportuni ties that the administration gets to present its side of the story. Student governmetn works both ways. At the moment. TIM is pointing toward a seat on Cabinet. With a 60 student active member ship. their chance of obtaining it is slightly bet ter than that of the chess club, which draws 20 or 30 members to its meetings. That the 6000 town indies deserve a seat on cabinet is indisputable. But, that they will not get it with 60-man meetings. is also indisputable. So, TlM's. get behind your organization—the conditions you improve may be your own. —Jack McArthur and a justifiable one. Here is my solution. Why couldn't we make up those classes on a free Saturday after the Thanksgiving recess. Thus the danger of a late dismissal on the Wednes day before Thanksgiving would be eliminated. Another item that may be causing doubt in many of the deans is the slow sale of tickets. I feel justified in speaking for many freshmen in saying that most of us were waiting for the half holiday to be declared before purchasing our tickets. I am ready 'and willing to appear before any group to more fully discuss my ideas. If there still is a reason not to declare a half holiday, it must be a reason beyond all rea soning, ELECI RICAL ENGINEERING SOCIETY. student-f &cult? gnixer. ?:00 p.m. 110 J.

M. ROBERTS - Associated Press News Analyst Somehow or other, reports from Europe that Marshal Tito has gone to Russia to intervene in Russian internal af fairs just don't seem to fit. That would mean Tito's formal re-marriage to inter national Communism and an end to his effort to carry Rus- sian water on one shoulder and Western water on the other, a policy which has been too bene ficial for him to drop overnight. If Nikita S. Khrushchev and Nikolat A. Bulganin are in trou ble with the Stalinist old guard of the Soviet, it is hard to see how Tito, that old guard's long time enemy, could be expected to persuade it that the down graders of Stalin are correct. We have in these European re ports a recurrence of previous ones that things are bad in Rus sia and the satellites to the point of some sort ,of break. Over the years such reports have proved to be merely wishful thinking. Western observers have doubt ed all the time that the so-called cooperative government in Rus sia would prove permanent, or that the Viacheslau M. Molotov forces would accept downgrading without a struggle. That struggle may well be going on under cov er. It's the Tito angle which seems incongruous. From this distance it seems more logical that Tito himself is either in trouble • or else mad about recent criticism of his poli tics from Russian sources. His Yugoslav party has been accused of not being truly Com munist, which he may consider a violation of the "co-existence" agreement with Khrushchev. Tito' may be insisting that the inter national Communists keep their fingers out of his pie, as they promised when they agreed that their's was not the only road to Communist goals. . There is also the possibility that the Kremlin still considers Titoism a subversive element among the satellites, and is trying to per suade him into greater neutrality on such issues as satellite auton omy. Khrushchev may be fright ened at the results of his limited liberalization movement. Tito. whatever else you may think about him, has been a pretty shrewd operator. He backs his plays with courage. It is unlikely that he would made a sudden, flying trip to Russia without realizing it would enhance the suspicion of him which already exists in the West. Something very important to him is at stake or he would not take the risk. At the moment all discussion of it must remain purely specula tive. But Tito just doesn't look like a logical mediator in Russian internal politics right now. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 29. 1956 by Bible Walker Cites Youth Shortage In Industry A shortage of intelligent young men and women may curtail this country's industrial progress, Dr. Eric A. Walker, vice president and president-elect of the Univer sity. told Chicago high school stu dents yesterday. Speaks at Fair Dr. Walker spoke at the Atomic Fair for High School students, which was held as part of the Atomic Industrial Forum of 1956 and the 1956 Trade Fair of the Atomic - Industry. Urging the students to. take an active part in opening the fron tiers of science, Dr. Walker told the group they need not fear the possibility of having nothing to do. Science Field Open The field of science always needs young people with the ca pacity for developing new ideas and the desire to do so, he said_ "Each time we make a dent in the surrounding blanket of ignorande, we do not reduce or eliminate areas of fruitful research, but rather discover new ones," he ex , plained. • Dr_ Walker was scheduled to ,make an inspection tour of the Ogontz Center Campus yesterday. and return to the University to day.
