Represent Yourself What does a member of All-University Cabi net represent? We feel that above all he should represent himself—that is, he should vote according to what he honestly believes is right. Tonight 24 members of Cabinet will vote on the Supieme Court issue. Several of the groups which are repiesemed by seats on Cabinet have already voted on the question of whether the Supreme Court should be abolished. No doubt these groups expect their presidents to vote at the Cabinet meeting according to the vote of the group they represent. _ One of the greatest advantages of the compo sition of Cabinet is that almost all the members are not directly subject to the wishes of the groups Ihey represent. Members of Cabinet in most cases are seniors who do not have to be re-elected. They can act as individuals as'well as representatives. They do not have the pres sures which occur in stale elections where they must again appear to the public and answer for their votes. This advantage should be used to the bene fit of Cabinet, not ignored. When Cabinet bene fits, the students also benefit. The members of Cabinet are elected for their wisdom and su perior knowledge in most cases. A member of Cabinet is usually considered to have a some what superior ability to judge an issue. If he votes only according to the vote of his repre sentative group then the students lose the ad vantage of his wisdom and superior knowledge. This is not to say that the members of Cabinet should not consider the wishes of their repre sentative groups, and it is to say that the in terests of that group should be placed second only to the interests of the student body as a whole. In the case of the Supreme Court, the interests of any particular group are not at stake. It is the interests of the student body as a whole which should be considered to judge such a problem requires a great deal of knowledge and experience in student government. We feel that the members of Cabinet can do this more adequately than the members of the groups they represent. The members of Cabinet are certainly in a position to judge the situation more wisely. Therefore, we hope each Cabinet member will vole tonight, not necessarily as bis respective group has voted, but according to his own views on Supreme Court. NSA Awakening? The National Student Association has gotten on the ball at last. Activities which its various commissions are to carry out duiing the semester have been an nounced by Lawrence McCabe, acting NSA co ordinator. These projects are basically worthwhile, and. if carried out. should make a big dent in the block of student opinion against NSA. We hope that McCabe’s appointment as cam- What's the Problem? TO THE EDITOR: Concerning the article by Bob Franklin quoting Borough Manager Robert Y. Edwards on the current traffic problem. As I see it, only one problem exists. There are few places to leave automobiles overnight. Why? Not one reasonable answer has been offered to tliat question. We have heard: “In case of fire the streets should be clear”; “We have a traffic problem”; “Snowplows can’t operate efficiently on parked streets”: etc. Each reason equally unreasonables The borough of State College had no parking problem until it chose to create one. The borough of State College has not had and does not now have a traffic problem. *The iOO, 200, and 300 blocks of S. Frazier St. to cite one specific example, are marked, “No Parking 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.” This is a one-way street and, as such, is quite wide enough to al low parking on both sides without interfering in the slightest way with traffic. If parking on this street doesn’t create a prob- Jtlß FORCE ROTC DRILL TEAM. T *.m.. Armor,. -BLOCK AND BRIDLE CLUB. 7:l# p.m.. Alp*. Zma. DAIRY SCIENCE CLUB. 7 p.m.. 217 Dairy. BELLES I-ETTKES CLUB.

PENNSYLVANIA DAVE RICHARDS, Business Manager Court’s Last Stand No one in his right mind can say that the question of whether or not to have a Supreme Court has not been discussed, committed, con sidered, and voted on enough times. After a long, hard pull the thing has finally reached the end of the parliamentary trail. Tonight is the final say. That is, we think and hope so. However, the Cabinet constitutional revisions committee is standing by with another proposed plan for a “feasible” Supreme Court. Student leaders are forever using this word "feasible." All they want is something feasible and everything is fine. Why not try to get some thing real good instead of merely which is only capable of being executed? However, it remains the present Supreme Court faces a yes-or-no vote tonight at Cabinet. Last year’s court was not informed on any thing. They had only handled disciplinary cases and acted like it. Everyone thinks last' year’s court was bad and that we shouldn't keep it. However, these people are split as to what we should do. The ones who think we need nothing have thus far outnumbered their opponents. The opposition faction thinks the past court was not good, but that we need something to check Cabinet. Cabinet must have someone looking over its shoulder to see that nothing underhanded goes on. Lion party thinks this. So does Nittany council. So does AIM. Many people think that Cabinet should not be the sole judgment of their own legislation. Maybe they shouldn't. Since the whole thing first came before Cabi net there have been other plans. All these have been feasible. None have been good. Perhaps the committee will have something good to night. We hope so. Please don’t give us some thing feasible. We have a strong feeling that no matter what plan is submitted as a substi tute we are going to have the same thing we have had in the past. Either a disciplinary court or Cabinet itself. Much of this enthusiasm over retaining a Supreme Court seems to stem from the name, “Supreme Court” itself. It does sound very of ficial and dignified. We just wish the people who think it is dignified, had to sit through these two or three meetings the court held last year. Dignity did not reign. Just keeping Supreme Court tor the sake of having a Supreme Court is absurd. If it will serve some good, let's keep it. But if if is merely another confused attempt at making student government more effective, let's can it. We are not expecting a miracle from the re visions committee. It appears that there is no good substitute. If not let’s get rid of this lump of dead wood. pus coordinator is approved by All-University Cabinet Thursday night. We also hope that NSA is successful in its program. The University does expect and de serve something from the organization. Thank you. NSA, for announcing a program. This at least is proof that you are still alive and trying. Poor Planning? TO THE EDITOR: The administration has al ways been greatly worried about its “name.” And yet, this New Year’.s Day it takes a great step to making a fool of itself and worse, en dangering the very lives of its students. For what are apparently resolvable reasons those who live more than two or three hours away are forced to return on Jan. 1. New Year’s Day, perhaps the worst day of the year to drive, has been designated as “back to State day” by the administration. Speaking as one person who will have to re turn then, I must report that the name of the University has not been enhanced in the minds of myself, my parents, my relatives or friends for this silly exhibition of poor planning. lem during the day how can it possibly do so between 2 and 6 a.m.? State College certainly does have a problem. The problem? Someone bought too many ‘No Parking’ signs FROTH ADVERTISING DEADLINE. T p.m., Froth office; HUB. . ... HOME KC NEWS AND VIEWS, €:3O p.m..

Catholic Chaplain Gannon Ryan against the “Syracusan” and i the proposed publication of a joke which read: “Blessed are the censors for they shall inhibit the earth.” - The Syracuse Herald-Journal reported last week that Seigal might have been expelled from school. As it turned out the board of publications told Seigal that he had to show them cause for publishing the November issue. The board and the magazinels editorial adviser felt that there was other objectionable material in the issue, Siegel has written letters of apology to Rev. Ryan and Ip the Board of Publications. His comment was* "I-was not pick* ing on any religion. The joke was taken from another college magazine." ' We realize that these college editors freely lift jokes from rival publications. But did any one see this same jolce in the latest issue of Froth? Ag Hijl Rift? • While we are on the subject of hassles it seems that we have one of our own right here on campus. Few people ousirie of Ag Hill know about it, though. Norm Schue, Ag Council presi dent, has been under attack from certain, agriculture students for the past couple weeks in the Ag Hill Breeze. It seems as if Schue is being called “autocratic” and is being charged with running Ag council in the manner of a tyrant. This week he was "censured" by Warren Carmichael, editor of the Breeze. Looks like this editorial page is not the only one on campus that has quarrel with student government. We know most of you readers will never believe it but we saw a picture of the world's heaviest man yesterday in the Chicago Daily News. He weighed. 1041 pounds. That’s no typographical error. .He, is 30 and hails from Fishhook, 111. Because of his weight he can only arrange to be weighed once a year. This year he.gained.9s pounds. • • * Agitation over extension of'the' THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 1. 1956 by mike moyle the Syracuse campus, magazine’s November the alleged ridiculing instituted the action :ts editor, Arthur Seigal, after Christmas vacation is increasing. Students are circulating petitions all over campus urging students to sign up and thereby show theic agreement with a longer vacation. The thought that- comes to our mind seems to be bothering the instigators of this move ment. A couple of guys with long-pieces of paper filled with names were sitting in the south dining hall of Hamilton yester day and they frankly admitted they didn’t know what lo do with the petitions when they were complete. • Incidentally, the petition favors going back to the original date 3 set up by the calendar commit tee.' A little unrealistic at ‘ this late date. • We still wonder why the dates were changed in the first place. Maybe someday we’ll find out.
