AND YOUR LINZ lkweli dl. illiseleirrSacnkii , ii Rarefies THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Cabinet To Ask Column In Collegian Editorial on Page 4 Alt-University Cabinet last night approved a recommendation call ing for a column in The Daily Collegian in which a spokesman for Cabinet could explain the rea sons for Cabinet's actions. The recommendation was part of a report presented by Ronald Ross, chairman of the Cabinet Public Relations Committee. Ross, in explaining the proposal,' said: "A column would do what Collegian hasn't done—give a just interpretation of Cabinet actions." He said the Collegian has chosen to interpret Cabinet action in the light of its own policy. Another supporter of the rec ommendation was Edward Hintz, president of Interfraternity Coun cil. He said, "Up here we've had nothing but an anti-administra tion (anti-Cabinet) paper this year. The front page is unbiased, but students also read the edi torial page." In replying to the criticism, Col legian Editor Edward Dubbs said the proposed column is unneces sary. He said the letters to the editor column of the Collegian is !the place for the other side to have its say—"it has more readers than the editorials." Dubbs invited Cabinet members to express their views in letters to the editor. He said both sides of issues were presented in that col umn this year. Vincent Marino, junior class president, answered: "A body of the stature of Cabinet shouldn't have to resort to a little extra like the letters to the editor col umn." Dubbs cast the only dissenting vote on the motion to approve the recommendation. Another of Ross' recommenda tions proposed "that a closer lia son between Cabinet and campus publications be established." Dubbs said, "Ti e best way for Cabinet to show its worth is by its actions. These actions then would be reported in the publica tions." Ross' recommendation was am proved, with Dubbs abstaining. Cabinet refused to approve the following two recommendations: e"That the public relations j committee write the parents of all incoming freshmen, explaining the freshman's place in student government and the benefits re ceived." e"That Cabinet establish a Stu dent Government Fair, the pur (Continued on page twelve) FOR ALL (.\ o j g , <woo. 4.7f1i The Athletic Store German Department Holds Open House Horst Pelckmann, Federal Republic of Germany consulor in Philadelphia, will be the featured speaker of the open house program of the German department this weekend.
