15-4 last night in
The Senioi
Board voted
favor of the retention of the Su
preme Court. with recommenda
tions for improvements.
Before this motion was ap
proved, the board defeated a mo
tion to. stand in favor of retaining
the Supreme Court as it is now
organized.
Rebecca Zahm, arguing against
the retention' of the' court in any
form, said that members of All-
University Cabinet are the .best
informed students on campus.
She said as far as she. knows
no 'members of Tribunal or Ju
dicial, whope senior members
comprise the Supreme Court have
been to any Cabinet meetings this
semester. •
- ‘Easier to Sway' ‘
. Board ’ members in opposition
to the continuation of the Court
felt that it is a lot easier to sway
an . uninformed group, ■ as they
claim the Court is, than it is to
sway members of Cabinet.
■ Members of the board in favor
of the Court’s retention said mem
bers- of Cabinet are prejudiced,
therefore cannot be relied upon to
judge legislation which they have
already passed.
Prejudices Said Likely
- Curtin Schafer said it is pos
sible that -members of the Su
preme Court may be just as
prejudiced as seniors on Judicial
or Tribunal. These seniors, he
said, -may be in other activities
from- which prejudice may occur.
In ' recommendations for im
provement of the make-up of the
Court, Jo Fulton suggested intro
ducing a lower appellate court
made up of juniors to hear cases
brought up for court action and to
decide whether they are import
ant enough to go before the
Supreme Court.-

ing abolition of the court.
As a result of AlM’s stand,
Howes said he will not represent
AIM on Cabinet tonight but w'ill
appoint a majority spokesmen to
sit in for him.
Refuses io Air Result
After the vote favoring reten
tion of the court, Howes said he
would prefer not to bring the
recommendation of AIM before
Cabinet personally.
As approved the recommenda
tion states:
“The Board of Governors of
the Association of Independent
Men hereby go on record as op
posing the abolition of the Su
preme Court.
. “While AIM does not oppose
revisions in the structure of the
court, it strongly favors the re
tention of the court as an integral
part of student government.”
Introduced by Thalimer
The recommendations to retain
the court was introduced by
Daniel Thalimer, West Halls presi
dent. Thalimer said' he realized
the court needs changes in struc
ture-but that in theory a supreme
court is’sound.
Thalimer was challenged to
produce suggested changes . for
the court structure. He produced
mimeographed -papers containing
suggestions which were distri
buted.
Explains Procedure
The board debated, the sound
ness of several of'the structure
changes until James Goodwin',
AIM parliamentarian said the
function of the AIM board was to
make an affirmative or negative
vote on retention of the court and
not to discuss structure changes.
Howes followed with his 20-
minute argument favoring aboli
tion of the court. Goodwin then
made a 15-minute rebuttal.
Howes said that the Supreme
Court is not truly representative
of-,student problems because it is
an appointed body.
'Appellate Courts Needed'
Also, he said, to function proper
ly the Supreme Court requires a
system of appellate courts. There
is no place in the University set
up for such a system ‘of lower
courts, he said.
Goodwin said in his reply that
a system of appellate courts is not
necessary if the present court
structure is revised.
Better structure will ensure the
selection of better personnel, he
said.

Cabinet Will Vote
On Court Future
All-University Cabinet, after much discussion pro and con,
has scheduled a showdown vote tonight on the future of the
Supreme Court.
Cabinet will meet at 7 tonight in 203 Hetzel Union to
decide the fate of the court, to which Cabinet legislation
can be appealed. Debate has been postponed from Oct. 4.
A recommendation to abolish
the court was made at Septem
ber’s Student Encampment.
Abolition of the court is fav
ored by All-University officers
Robert Bahrenburg, president;
William Clark, vice president;
and Leonard Richards, secretary
treasurer.
Favor Court
Several student organizations,
including the junior class advis
ory board, Women’s Student Gov
ernment Association, and the Ag
riculture Student Council, sup
port the constitution of the judi
cial body.
The elimination of the court
will be presented in the form of
an amendment to the All-Univer
sity constitution. If the amend
ment is passed, it will be added
as a revision of the constitution.
Should Cabinet defeat the amend
ment, a substitute motion stating
retention of-the court will be in
cluded in its place.
Court Established
The Supreme Court was estab
lished several years ago' to judge
the constitutionality of Cabinet
legislation. It is composed of the
senior members of Tribunal,
men’s judicial ■ body, and Wo
men’s'Student Government'Asso
clation Judicial.
When presenting the recom
mendation, the Encamp ment
workshop “Regulations and Con
trols” said that the composition
of the court does not insure im
partiality nor does it assure that
its members are well informed
on the purpose of Cabinet legisla
ture.
Cabinet is the supreme govern
ing body at the University and it
cannot be superseded by a lesser
organization, it said.
Also included on the Cabinet
agenda tonight will be the En
campment report “Penn State’s
Future.” to be presented by Ro
bert Steele, chairman.
Harry Martini, junior class
president, will report on the Jun
ior Prom, scheduled for Oct. 26
in Recreation Hall. The Glenn
Miller orchestra, under the direc
tion of Ray McKinley, will play
at the Prom. '

ment to halt hydrogen bomb
tests.
“Such a solid facade the
Big Three, of the ruling party
in this country—will not be
reassuring to those abroad who
still look hopefully to the Uni
ted States for leadership.” .
Adlai Fires at Nixon
Stevenson centered his fire
on Nixon, however, asserting
the vice president has changed
position repeatedly on such
matters as the Korean war.
“There is no man, he said,
who can safely say where the
vice president stands. This is a
man of many masks. Who can
say they have seen his real
face?
“And. I think he used last
month just the right words to
describe his own conduct dur
ing the. Indochina crisis —he
was ‘rash and irresponsible’.”
