Cabinet: Why Bid for Foreign Students? AU-Umvciaity Cabinet .should not bid $7OO dent government. The advanced form of student for a foreign student _ government we have would only confuse and The scholarship which was proposed by Bar bara Hendel, National Student Association re gional chairman, amounts to exactly this: Miss Hendel said the University would be able to gain new ideas on student government from such a foreign student, and at the same time would be able to impart our ideas to the foreign student. All of this is to be done in one year according to the idealistic NSA program. According to her proposal, all Cabinet would have to do is offer a $7OO scholarship to take care of room and board for one year, and Wil mer E. Kenworthy, on behalf ot the University, ■will also give a scholarship amounting to $5BO for this student's fees and tuition. According to Miss Hendel the University would positively get the foreign student if we send an application a>ong with the two scholar ships. This, she stated, is because our student government is one ot the best in the country. If our student government is so excellent, then why doesn't NSA automatically send one of the IS students to the University? We think ‘it is unnecessary for Cabinet to bid along with other schools to work out some means of teach ing a foreign student our system ot student gov ernment in one year. We doubt very much if Cabinet will be able to obtain any information that it would find either valuable or practical. The idea resembles that of asking a iort*ign monarch to give us ideas on how to run the United States Government. In the first place, a ' foreign student cannot hope to be so adjusted and natural to U.S. custom and social life with in one year that he couid contribute extensively to any phase of it. The training program that NSA has set up lor these students will not even touch on the wealth ol knowledge that would be necessary tor him to take an effective part in student government and activities. It was 'mentioned that these students speak excellent English. This' is fine, but does not guarantee or indicate in any way that they will have any knowledge of American life. In the second place, it is improbable that the foreign student will have much knowledge, if any, of student government at all. In most other countries the academic stress is so extreme, that little time is devoted to such activities as stu- Supreme Court Gets a Reprieve Supreme Court, an Encampment -idea which thrown into the campus political scene with came to life for a year, came to the brink of near-complete abandon. ... . . . . . , ■ It was stated by chairman Jim Musser that extinction last night on the floor of Cabinet. the Encampment committee on Regulations and The actual vote wili be taken Oct. 16 when Controls was almost unanimously in favor of tlie wholesale re-organization of the student gov- junking the court; but attempts were made last emment constitution comes up. keep it anyhow. _ .... . ._ . . _ r- .

This being due to the fact that they sat in judgment of student involved in discipline cases.

The absence of a definite system of appeal and the absence of other concrete procedures showed that last year Supreme Court was INTERLANDIA FOLK OANCK.

PENNSYLVANIA DAVE RICHARDS, Business Manager baffle a stranger for the first year. In addition his would be so primitive in comparison to ours as to give him no opportunity to contribute at all to any American student government. Therefore, we contend that it is impractical to think that a foreign exchange student would contribute to the University's student govern ment or activity system. The foreign student who would attend the University for one year through scholarships given by the University, Cabinet, and NSA would probably gain a great deal for himself in knowledge of American culture as well as some conception of our student government sys tem. The former would do his country a great deal of good, but the second would be of limited value. Yes, it would also help him to under stand America, however, it would probably be of little use as far as instituting these ideas in his own country. Most' foreign school systems do not allow time for a student government set up that would even resemble ei.rs. If Cabinet desires to educate foreign students in our system of student government, it would be far more .practical to take the foreign stu dents already attending the University. We have pointeS out that the 15 students'who will receive these NSA scholarships are student leaders in their own country. We have also pointed out the fact that they are student lead ers will most likely be of little value to them as far as understanding the American system. Therefore, would it not be more advantageous for Cabinet to give private tutoring lessons in student government to the foreign students al ready attending the University. These students have already become familiar with American culture patterns and would not cost Cabinet or the University any money. We do not propose this but merely suggest it as a better method than that suggested at Cabi net last night. This stude-t would be able to contribute just as fully to nis home country. Cabinet could find many uses for $7OO, and one of the best is not for a foreign student. We hope the Interclass Finance Board will see the wisdom of this argument, and that Cabi net will also see through the proposal next week. —Sue Conklin tee. Sophomores, we feel would not be generally capable of deciding on matters which would come before a Supreme Court. So, instead of dying a peaceful death. Supreme Court continues officially in existence for two more weeks. For two weeks Cabinet members will be able to mull over in their minds a little longer the fate of the Supreme Court. If, in those two weeks someone cannot come up with a good, concrete idea in the line of judiciaries then let's junk Supreme Court or any other group resembling it. University Hospital tn. Fetterman.

'Dames' to Give Tea For Students' Wives A tea will be given by the Penn State Dames for the wives of graduate and undergraduate I students from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday in the Presbyterian Church.

The University is assuming part of the cost of gram which is open to students on a voluntary basis, will pay $1 each for the three shots. This program the first of its kind to be offered by a large American university. Radcliffe, Harvard, and the Mas sachusetts Institute of Technol ogy have also begun similar pro grams The service is being offered since many students have not been vaccinated and the vaccine' is now available to persons of col lege age. TEA FOR 600: Nearly every or ganization on campus at one time or another during the year holds a tea or mixer. This it seems is essential. Whether the purpose of the event is organizational, to honor someone, or just to mix it up, the general attitude concern ing teas is, “ugh.” However, most students en joy themselves after they get there and find £he whole affair wasn't as bad as they antici pated. This was not the case for a stu dent at the University of Kansas. A tea attended by GOO and honor ing new housemothers and house fathers was a real grind to him. The student surveyed the long receiving line, quietly slipped his right arm out of his coat sleeve, buttoned his coat and stuck the empty sleeve in his pocket. This man would never make a babv kissing, hand-shaking politician. SAFETY FIRST: Aside from being National Newspaper Week this has also been declared EMERGENCIES DON’T WAIT WEEK, by Governor George M. Leader. Leader, emphasizing the importance of safety in the home, said that more than 5,000,000 Americans are killed or severely injured in home accidents every year. Because of the increasing popularity of "do it yourself projects, the possibilities for accidents increase, he said. So remember, "don't do it yourself, leave it up. to others." IVY RUIN: Last Saturday after the Penn game a newsboy pedd ling copies of his paper, was yell ing. “Extra, read all about it, the great Penn team made two first downs!” A sports writer for Penn’s campus paper expressed the downhearted attitude of all the students: “All in all, it was a pretty dismal afternoon for the Quaker fans, many of whom spent most of their time waiting for the National League baseball scores. Discouragement was also voiced by the mother of one of Penn's co-captains: "For three FRIDAY.
