'ity Cabinet is the highest student government
Irs but more important it is the voice of the
All-Un iv er
body on camp
students.
This 25-me ber group meets weekly in 203 Hetzel
Building to discuss and legislate on matters pertinent
student body and the-University.
The meetings, of course, are
open to the public. Cabinet mem
bers urged students to attend and
to express their views on matters
before the body.
Although many items that come
before Cabinet must be approved
by University officials,.the body
does serve as a voice of the stu
dents to these Univerity officials.
Some Items Discussed
Some of the items_coming be
fore Cabinet last year were:
•Should students be given a
half-holiday for the. Penn-Penn
State football game and a longer
vacation? (The football half-holi
day was turned down by Univer
sity officials. but an extra half
day was added to the Christmas
vacation.)
•Is the supreme court a neces
sary feature of a student govern
ment system? (Cabinet couldn't
make up its mind on this and the
supreme court was left unchanged
after weeks and weeks - of debate.)
•Should seniors with high
scholastic averages . be required
to take final exahiinations? (Cab
inet, especially the senior class
president and his advisory board,
did much research on this and
came up with strong points for
exemption of exams for seniors.
However, it died last year in a
Senate committee, which was
composed of mainly faculty and
administrative personnel.)
•What can be done toward ac
quiring 'a student AM station?
(Cabinet knew it must come up
with a way of obtaining the
money before this can be taken
to the Board of ,Trustees. They
started work on a plan to raise
the money late last semester).
OShould the University be a
member of the National Student
Association, a confederation of
student government bodies. (Cab
inet dropped out of NSA, but
delegates were sent to the na
tional conference this summer
at the University of Michigan.)
These are just some of the ma
jor topics to come before the
body.
