Editorial Opinion
An Explanation Is Due
All-University Cabinet wants to know why the Class
of 1958 is being denied its specific gift choice.
Cabinet on Thursday unanimously approved a motion
to ask appropriate officials for a "clarification of the modi
fication of the 1958 senior class gift."
We believe Cabinet's desire for information reflects
that of the members of last year's senior class, the staff
members of WDFM and the members of the present
student body.
The decision of the Board of Trustees not to allow
the gift funds to be used for building an AM station on
campus does not reflect an investigation of FM radio
station WDFM, since station officials say no such investi
gation was made; it does not reflect the will of the student
body as expressed by their representatives, since as. Late
as last spring All-University Cabinet went on record
favoring a campus AM station; and it does not appear to
reflect sound thinking or careful consideration, since no
reasons were given for the gift change.
We cannot believe that the trustees would deliberately
act against the best interests of Penn State. We are deeply
disturbed because, at this time, we can draw no other con
clusion but that they have acted in this way.
Until the students are presented with a thorough and
logical explanation, we are at a complete loss to under
stand the trustees' actions.
Examining Deferred Rush
Fraternities will be able to put pledge pins on their
freshman pledges tomorrow—and they will be able to
stand back and try to evaluate the first trial of the deferred
rushing system.
It's still too early to make a final decision on the worth
of the system, but judging from the general opinion so
far, deferred rushing hasn't been all its is supposed to be.
The two main advantages advertised for the system
when it was debated by the Interfraternity Council—
saving of money for fraternities and the raising of fresh
men averages—don't seem at this point to have panned out.
Most fraternities don't seem to have saved any money
on deferred rushing, for the amount of rushing which has
been crowded into the first two months of the first semes
ter seems to have cost as much as year-long rushing at a
more leisurely pace. Also, many houses rushed men re
gardless of their averages, so the theory of being able to
rush only "sure things" hasn't seemed very significant.
The second big argument for deferred rushing—that
it would raise the grades of the freshmen class—is in
doubt, for the dean of men's office hasn't yet released the
freshman class averages. But to talk to freshmen and
fraternity men, the opinions seem to indicate either a very
little rise in class average or else a lowering of the average
over past years.
And deferred rushing's disadvantages held true—
there was a great deal of pressure on all concerned, and
both rushers and rushers had to make their choices with
out knowing each other as much as they would have liked
to.
Fraternities should begin thinking about evaluating
the system from all angles—and if their conclusions bear
out what the general opinion points to now, deferred rush•
ing should be thrown out and the old system restored.

TO THE EDITOR: To clarify the
Agriculture Student Council's op
position to the proposed student
government reorganization plan,
we present the following: Dan
Thalimer, co-author of the re
organization proposal, has by way
of self-admission stated that he is
aware that in past years there
have been instances when campus
political parties have been con
trolled by a select few.
The proposal, as it now stands,
requires that election of all stu
dent representatives be almost en
tirely from candidates backed by
political parties. With no assur
ance that these parties will not
revert to their former status, cer
tainly the proposal cannot be con
sidered as a step toward improved
student government.
—James Uhl. '59
vice president,
Agriculture Student Council
Editor's Note: The bylaws of
the new constitution specify
that a candidate may submit
nominating petitions and have
his name placed on the balltlt
independently.

Politicos Primp
For Press Parley
Pennsylvania's politicians put their best foot forward
yesterday as they attended a seminar of the Pennsylvania
Society of Newspaper Editors.
The politicos went all out
verging on the campus in cars,
Joseph Clark, who testified at
a Senate hearing on unemploy
ment compensation at 10 a.m.
yesterday, flew to the campus
in a chartered plane, arriving
in just enough
time to gulp

Gov. Lawrence, who spoke
at - the editors' banquet last
night, took a nap at the Nit
tany Lion Inn before dinner.
The governor, who had can
celled all public appearances
earlier in the day because of
illness, arrived shortly before
six, and went directly to his
room. Following the dinner, he
too left for a plane and Harris
burg.
The governor admitted at
the banquet that yesterday's
visit to the campus was not his
first. "I was here when Milton
Eisenhower was the president,"
he said, "only that time I was
judge of a beauty contest."
The other judges included

Commenting about the choice
of San Francisco as the Demo
cratic party's choice for its na
tional convention, Lawrence
joked that the "smoke filled
rooms" would be replaced by
"smog-filled rooms."
Admitting that Abraham
Lincoln was a "good politi
cian," Lawrence went on to
add that the "Republicans
have been living on Lincoln for
years." Lawrence, in a bipart
isan mood, even admitted that
Thomas Dewey was a great
politician.
Evidently feeling that the
public definitely had a "right
to know," the Pennsylvania
State trooper that accompanied
Gov. Lawrence stood in the
lobby of the Inn, making sure
that everyone got a copy of
the Governor's prepared, ad
dress.
Everyone, including several
wrestling coaches, staying in
the Inn, and a few bewildered
guests of the Inn that knew
nothing about the conference
that was in session, received
the speech from the trooper.
Senator Joseph S. Clark Jr.
may have more luncheon
guests than he bargained for
some day. He told the news
men yesterday that more of
them should come to see him
