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?

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-

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

A big hassle is currently raging on
Seems as though the campus humor
issue has been suspended because of
of a church sacrament.
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.

: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.
