Cabinet Faces Two High Court Unnecessary The Supreme Court is a superfluous institution at the University. The members of Supreme Court could not be less effective if they reviewed cases on the national level. The composition of the Supreme Court does not insure impartiality or comprehension of All- Universily Cabinet actions or its constiluion. The court is composed of the senior members of the Women's Eiude.nl Gorernment Association Judicial Board and Tribunal. The members meet only rarely. In the past they have not had sufficient knowledge of the cases brought before them and have generally been unqualified to review the cases. Students who wish to retain the Supreme Court claim that it is a necessary check on the actions of Cabinet. They say that any legislative body should have a judicial check. The United States Government is the example which they point out. We see little correlation between the U.S. Government and the University student govern ment. In the first place. Cabinet does not hare the power to pass legislation which could take away the freedoms or rights of the individual. In a sense, the administration acts as a protection to the rights of an individual. Should Cabinet at tempt to become a dictatorial legislative group, this action would soon be halted by the ad ministration. Since Cabinet does not have the power to im pair the individual's freedom, a judicial check is unnecessary. The Supreme Court is superfluous. In the second place. Cabinet is an impartial group and is perfectly capable of judging its own actions. Of the 25 members of Cabinet, only seven are elected through political campaign. The remainder obtain their seat through their position as head of a group, or by election by a council. Eighteen members of Cabinet have no politi cal bias. The other seven lose their political affiliation when they gain the Cabinet seat. They do not, as in national elections, have to be re-elected. Cabinet is an impartial group. In fad. it is possibly more impartial than the Supreme Court. Not only do Cabinet's members not have politi cal affiliation, they also represent the opinions of almost every phase of student activity. The members of Supreme Court may even have political affiliation. Not only is Cabinet impartial, but the mem bers arc well acquainted with the constitution. The members of the Supreme Court may find the constitution entirely strange. The Supreme Court is superfluous. We ask—ls it not better to have an impartial. Safety Valve Cartoons Questioned TO THE EDITOR: First let me state that I am a Republican just to make the record clear. However, I do not object to the insertion of Mr. Block’s cartoons in the paper once in a while, I do resent seeing them every day of the week. Certainly to Democra's these cartoons are the last word in campaign literature. Now, I con cede that on occasion Mr. Block makes some very good points; I rather resent seeing my fee money which I paid to the University going lo this purpose with no apparent effort to pre sent the other side on your part. I-am well aware of the methods'by which his cartoons are reproduced, the finance in volved therein etc. But, would not it be a little more equitable to present say a series of car toons by Burrie Jenkins of the Hearst papers? What would be more fair than that?:With both sides thus presented Collegian would be able to maintain its aloofness regarding official print ed policy for preference of the two presidential candidates. —Allyn Matlaek Jr. {Ed. Note) Mr. Matlaek will be happy lo know that the Senior Board is presently considering such a suggestion. Ford Co.

PENNSYLVANIA DAVE RICHARDS, Business Manager Waste of Money Giving a $7OO scholarship for a foreign stu dent would be waste on the part of All-Univer sity Cabinet. The National Student Association has request ed that Cabinet offer the scholarship in addition to a $5BO scholarship which would be offered for the student by the administration. Barbara Hendel assured Cabinet members that the Uni versity would get one of the 15 foreign student leaders which wilL attend United Sttaes colleges and universities under th'e'NSA program. Of course the University would- know nothing about the foreign student except that he or she is a student leader. Cabir-at could not pick what country would be represented. In fact, it would not know these facts for quite some time—until NSA picked the student for it. A foreign student leader would probably gain little benefit from the University’s student gov ernment set up, and student government here would probably gain less from him. It is im practical to think that in one year a foreigner can become sufficiently well acquainted with the American student government system to take part. We doubt strongly whether a foreign student will have much to offer in the way of student government. Most countries stress academic work so greatly that students do not find time to organize a strong student government. The most important reason why Cabinet should not give the scholarship is that this is a poor excuse for spending the students* money. Cabinet receives its money from the students* tuition. Even the money of students who are working their way through college is given to Cabinet. Should Cabinet spend the money of some student struggling through college on this pro ject? Should he have to help pay for some foreign student leader’s ideas? We say, no. Onlv the few in student government at the time will benefit from this exchange of ideas. The aver age student will not. Therefore, he should not be forced to pay for this student to attend the University, We feel that Cabinet could find many more profitable uses for $7OO. We hope that it will find a use of benefit to the average student. A scholarship for a foreign student leader is not. —Sue Conklin representative, and qualified group review stu dent legislative action, than to have a group which does not necessarily possess any of these qualities struggling with decisions. We suggest that All-University Cabinet would make a wise decision if it abolishes the Supreme Court. We hope it does. Gazette BELLES-LETTRES. 7:30 p.m.. *O5 Spark*. BLOCK AND BRIDLE CLUB. 7:30 pm-.

Barber's Assurance TO THE EDITOR: This letter is in the form of a reply to your recent article concerning the rise in price of haircuts to $2. I would like to ease the minds of the people in this area by stating that I think it will be a long time before they need to pay 52 for a hair cut in State College. Nittany Council Elects Three New Officers Nittany council elected three officers to fill vacant council'seats Monday night. Those elected were Stanley Rudzinski, freshman in electrical engineering, treasurer; Charles Gettell, sophomore in business administration, and George Smith, sophomore in arts and letters, delegates at large.

F rom Here By Ed Dubbs The H-Bomb Question DuHlh' opinions are not necessarily those of thia newspaper, the student body, or the University. We welcome correspondence on opinions expressed below. Adlai Stevenson’s proposal to restrict further H-bomb tests is indeed interesting, to say the least. And it has brought an issue into the campaign in which one can see a direct party-line difference in the candidates. What is surprising to me about the whole matter is that it took the voters by surprise. The proposal is not a new idea. Many of the country's and world’s lop nuclear scientists, including prize-winning ones, have long held this idea. At least one magazine, the liber al New Republic, suggested it long before Mr. Stevenson. The New Reporter, incidentally, is supporting Mr. Stevenson for the presidency. It took this stand be fore Mr. Stevenson made his H bomb proposal. On the surface, Mr. Stevenson’s proposal sounds reasonable, but whether it would work is another thing I hope that if Mr. Stevenson is elected by sheer chance that he would investigate it more fully before putting it into ef fect. I do believe it deserves further study and that Mr. Eisenhower has not said his “last word” on the subject. The study he pro posed last night seemed encourag ing. - To me it sounded like Mr. Ei senhower rejected the proposal point blank because it was not a Republican administration pro posal. Maybe I am wrong. I hope so since I have much respect for Mr. Eisenhower's integrity. From all reports I have seen, Pennsylvania is the mystery state in this presidential election. It could go either way. Democrats claim a trend in the state to their party. The Republi cans, of course, are disclaiming this. Some observers believe Penn sylvania could mean the elec tion of either candidate. Texas, which went Republican for Mr. Eisenhower in 1952, is also said to be close to a toss up. It will be interesting to see if Mr. Eisenhower can hold onto traditionally Democratic Texas and Mr. Stevenson can take over traditionally Republican Penn sylvania. I have heard favorable and un favorable comments on Herblock’s editorial cartoons appearing on this page. The comments have been from both Democrats and Republicans. Herblock’s home newspaper is The Washington Post, con sidered one of the most influen tial newspapers in the country since U.S. Representatives and Senators read it, along with THURSDAY.

Herblock, I may add, seems lo receive almost as many letters lo-lhe-edilor in the Post as do the newspaper's editorials. He is considered by many to be a master at satire.
