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.

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.

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.

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.

“What Ever Came Of All That Talk
Of Atomic Power?’*
Herblock* s opinions are not nccmarit7 those of
this newspaper, the student body, or the University.
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
