Town lnd(•pe:ident Council's 14-9 vote to support
retention of the fraternity-independent rotation system
repre-sents a victory—not a defeat—for the proposal to
abolish the system.
Many pei suns believe independents will lose some of
their share in student government if the rotation system
is discarded. We do not share this view.
Nevertheless, the foresight shown by a large and
courageous minority in the TIM council is extremely
heartening.
Per haps it is regrettable that the council members were
not given more time to consider the matter. They heard
both sides of the controversial issue, from John Morgan,
Association of Independent Men president, and William
O'Neill, Lion Party clique chairman. It was then put to an
immediate vote.
Morgan said he believes the political parties are seeking
"a panacea for all their ills in one fell swoop." He said he
fears party alignment along affiliation lines.
What Morgan—and others—apparently do not realize
is—as O'Neill said—that neither political party could
afford to let one affiliation dominate its slate.
We believe O'Neill and his Campus counterpart, Gary
Young, have shown sound thinking in the statement of
policy on the rotation system which they issued last Sun
day and on their defense of that policy.
Their statement claims "free election would give the
students the widest possible choice in picking their
leaders."
This is true.
Certainly only two nominees—or as many nominees as
there are political parties—would compete for the election.
But no student would be barred from voting freely and
openly for any candidate for the nomination within his
party.
We believe this fact would lead more students to at
tend the political nominating meetings. With more stu
dents registered as active members of the political
parties, we believe apathy toward student government
would be greatly decreased.
Certainly the existing system is unrealistic and un
wieldy.
Perhaps it now is more work for the clique chairman
to interest independent candidates in seeking office. But
if and• student has to be "interested" in participating in
student government, if he must be "sold" on the idea, will
he do a good—or even a satisfactory job after his election?
Personalized Attention
Dean Ernest B. McCoy of the College of Phj•sical Edu
cation and Athletics arrived late for the dinner meeting
of the Athletic Advisory Board last evening at the Nittany
Lion Inn.
He was noticeably shaken. He paused for a minute and
informed the board in a low voice of the accident that
morning in Rec - eation Hall and what was being done for
the student.
There is no .doubt that McCoy took the same interest
in the welfare of the student as he would have in his own
He personally accompanied the student, George "Larry"
Sharp, a second-semester freshman from Drexel Hill, to
the Geisinger Memorial Hospital in Danville. Dr. Alfred
IL Griess also made the trip in the University ambulance.
Often students feel they are just numbers here at the
University. It's actions like McCoy's which proves the
University isn't impersonal as students often think.

Safety Valve
Sacred Cows,
Cheaper Books
TO THE EDITOR: In the dis-
cussion on the proposed book
store, there are a few reasons in
favor that have been omitted. The
best one is that the profits from
the sale of books would' go into
University projects; that is. the
money would remain on campus.
This can be done by either
of two methods: (1) Run the
store on a non-profit basis and
charge less for books: (2) Make
a profit and direct the profit to
campus projects.
The Collegian editorial sets up
the free enterprise system as a
sacred cow. It is not. Where corn
petition exists, free enterprise is
fine; however, in the sale of text
books, at least in the local case,
competition is non-existent, the
(price for any given book being
ithe same at all three present
i stores.
As for sacrificing profits to
give lower price:: does not
with
University do just that with its
tuition charge? When service is
the main object, profits can be
foregone.
The main objections to a book
store in the past have been two
in number: (1) There is no room
on campus for a bookstore; (2)
Over-ordering on a book can
cause a loss of money.
The answers are just as simple:
(1) There is room for anything if
the authorities want to find room;
(2) To cover any possible losses,
the store should also sell such
necessities as drawing equipment
and slide rules, which don't go
out of date when a new edition
comes out.
I agree that luxury items (de
fined as anything not a necessity)
should be sold downtown by free
enterprise, but necessities should
be sold to students at the lowest
possible cost.
