    Two Student Councils
Back Required ROTC
The compulsory ROTC issue was called
a "political football" at. Wednesday night's
College of Business Administration Student
Council meeting by senior member Thomas
Brandeis.
"The Chemistry-Physics Council
is trying to kick around an oldi
ivtue A pretty thorough study (oft
the ROTC issue) was made last:
year," council president Jantes i
Mei , ,ter .tat"d.
Vincent Marino, junior rep
resentative, moved that council
reaffirm its last year's stand in
favor of the compulsory pro
gram. It did, 30 to 4.
Meister said the council's action
on the sub3ect would influence
his vote if the issue is brought
before All-Univet say Cabinet.
He also announced that effec
tive 8 a ni. today the front stair
way in Boucke Building will be
reserved for down traffic only.
"This is only being done on a
trial basis and has been done
to alleviate congested stairway
conditions in Boucke. This will
require the cooperation of every
student in Boucke Building."
Meister said.
In other action, Robert Drexler,
president of Delta Sigma Pt, pro
fessional business fraternity, said
he "would like to have council
sponsor a book-of-the year pro
gram in the business administra
tion college."
"The main object . . . would
be to bring more culture into
the college and stimulate con
troversy about ideas," he said.
Meister asked him to investi
gate the matter further and re
port at a later council meeting,
President Meister also said
council will decide at its Dec. 3
meeting, whether the newly or
gatitzed Finance Club qualifies
fur a seat on council.

The Mineral Industries Student Council
voted Wednesday night to have its president
support compulsory ROTC if the issue should
come before Cabinet.
Term Paper
Exchange Gets
Cold Shoulder
How would you like to have
your very own staff of research
experts provide you with mater
ial for your college term paper?
Everyone would.
But don't.
Robert G. Bernreuter, special
assistant to the president for stu
dent affairs, wrote a letter to
a Missouri company which offered
term papers,
The letter stated that any
student at The Pennsylvania
State -University who submits
for class credit a term paper
given to him by this service
will be subjected to discipline
by the subcommittee on aca
demic honesty.
Letters were sent, recently, to
sororities and fraternities by this
company concerning the supply
ing of completed term papers.
The service provides papers
written by other students and
instructors.
In exchange for the papers,
students are to submii their
own past term papers for cir
culation in the exchange.
The idea that the institute had
in mind was relieving the student
of the labor and time involved
in the writing of such a paper.
The service offers more than
one paper on the same subject
and guarantees that the students'
old papers will not be given to
other students in the same uni
versity.

social atmosphere, Frymoyer
said.
Jack Kendall, En g i neering-
Architecture Stu dent Council
president, questioned the need for
a separate lounge for the TIM
students, and whether men would,
as a whole, support the project.
Miss Donovan objected to the
request that TIM as an organiza
tion have a separate lounge and
urged that it be open to all
town independent and commut
ing students.
Under the plans presented by
TIM representatives, the lounge
would be open to all University
students when not in use by town
students.

Reasons given for supporting it were
that it encourages a larger num
ber of students to go on for com
missions than would if it were
not required; it is a necessary
part of the military training sys
tem of the United States; and it
gives the advanced ROTC stu
dents good practice in command
ing the underclass compulsory
ROTC students.
Some council members felt
opposed to this view and
thought that compulsory ROTC
should not be supported. It was
pointed out that there is noth
ing in the University's contract
with the government which
technically requires ROTC:
compulsory ROTC is a waste of
money on people who do not
wish to participate; and the pro
gram is basically weak because
of the poor selection of some
instructors in the department.
A motion was made and de
feated that the president of the
council abstain from voting onl
the issue if it is considered ati
Cabinet. One council member ]
said that he felt the whole topic
of compulsory or voluntary ROTC
is out of the hands of student
government and can only be
changed at the administration's
discretion and therefore should
not be brought to a vote.
Reports were also given by the
faculty evaluation committee, the
leommittee on non-technical elec
tives and the committee formed
,to consider a possible open house
! in the College of Mineral Indus
tries for next spring.

Landscape Photographs

A traveling photographic exhi
bition, "Landscape Architecture

Hetzel Union card room.
The exhibition was planned

ciation and is circulated by the

my sincere thanks."
The Campus party candidate
for freshman president said:
"I would like to thank all those
who supported me. I feel the
election was run very well. Jay
will make a good president. With
the proper cooperation, he will be
able to accomplish many things
for the class of '62 and for the
entire University?'
Bentrem said:
"I want to thank all of the peo
ple who voted for me. I will do
my best to fulfill the obligations
and responsibilities of my newly
elected office, and I will strive
continually for a better Penn
State."
"I would like to congratulate
George Bentrem and only ask
that he do a good job in repre
senting the sophomore class,"
his opponent said. I would also
like to thank the Campus party
for allowing me to participate
in these elections. My thanks

as a whole. He also said that he
was unaware that his party had
already spent $l4B for publicity.
Goldstein contended that he
had received the cards from his
father who had them printed by
a friend at no expense. He did
not consider this a part of party
expenses. The posters were dis
tributed in Atherton Hall and
the Nittany area.
The committee held that any
amount might be spent by a party
through individual donations if
there were no restrictions placed
on expenditures. Since there were
no explicit provisions in the code
dealing with private expenditures
the committee did - not feel that it
could harm a candidate for some
thing that was the fault of the
code.
Patricia Lenhardt, a commit
tee member, said, "The Elec
tions code is not strong enough;
the committee cannot consider
this a fault of the clique."
Elliott admitted that he became
aware of these cards early last
week but made no effort to con
tact committee members. "I did
not try to find out from anyone
about these cards," he stated.
At first Elliott denied seeing
the cards until last night, but
he then retracted his earlier
statement.
A motion was made and passed
by the committee to overlook the
incident on the grounds that the
case "was not serious enough to

showing their interest in the
elections.
"If I receive a job on the sopho
more advisory board I will do my
best to get through Cabinet all
the planks that I have supported."
"I would like to first thank my
fellow freshmen for choosing me
as their vice president," Terry
said. "I can only say that I will
do my very best to prove to you
that you have not made the
wrong choice."
Fuhrman said:
"In the hierarchy of each field
of endeavor there are usually
victors and losers. The winning or
losing is relatively small in com
parison to the knowledge and
experience gained as a result of
the individual's efforts and at
tempts to evolve himself to a
higher plane than another."
"I would like to thank every
one who made my election pos
sible—the University party for
my nomination and the students
for my election. I will do all in
my power to fulfill the promises
in our platform and give the stu
dent body their wishes in making
a better Penn State University,"
Miss Barndt said.
merit disqualification of the can
didates."
In defending the exclusion of
the picture cost from the expense
account, Elliott said that the can
didates paid for their own pic
tures and he saw no reason for
including the item on the account.
"I hate to see six candidates dis
qualified for a fault of mine," he
aim added.
This incident was also dropped
because the committee did not
think it serious enough for dis
qualification of the whole slate.
