Editorial Opinion
The Other Half of Justice
Cabinet members last night, in voting for closed
judicial board hearings, closed their eyes to the fact
that students are responsible to the public for their actions
Under the reorganized judicial system, which is
supposedly looking to lite future in providing improved
methods, the past practice of refusing admittance to any
board or court hearings unless requested by the charged
person is being retained.
The reorganization plan has used as one of the bases
providing educational training in citizenship to students,
and has patterned its constitutional provisions after those
of the federal government.
This is as good as any basis for a student government
plan; but closed hearings will more than likely pose a
stumbling block to the whole system.
The student body has a right to know the proceedings
of hearings concerning their fellow students. Second-hand
information given out by board members following a hear
ing is not the best method of conveying reasons for board
decisions.
While the various boards can be trusted to dealing
fairly with student violations, students should be permit
ted to attend the meetings,
If each of the boards would have their respective hear
ings open to the student body, the student body and the
University would profit immeasurably.
Prevent Graduation?
The Senate Committee on Student Affairs yesterday
added a new requirement for graduation—and a very
questionable one at that.
The committee has approved an Interfraternity Coun
cil ruling that diplomas be withheld from fraternitymen
who still owe money to their chapter.
Financial responsibility to a fraternity should have
nothing at all to do with receiving a diploma. A diploma
Is given for academic achievement.
One of the most important things a fraternity needs
to survive is good management. Each fraternity should be
responsible for its members and their actions which in
clude paying debts to the chapter. If a fraternity man does
not do this it is up to the individual fraternity to collect it.
However, fraternities have failed in their responsi
bility and now the University has come to their rescue.
The University should not have deviated from its
normal requirements for a diploma. The fraternities
should be Bade to help themselves

nity. Thompson said he noticed
the car and the three searchers
were still missing and he sent
Kenneth Ishler and Werner
Bush to join the search.
When they found nothing and
when the first searching party
returned a little after 2 a.m. with
no results, Thompson notified the
state police at Rockview. He also
called the night hostess who in
turn notified the girl's parents
and the campus patrol.
Thompson said the fraternity
brothers had not been too wor
ried up until that time because
they knew the couple was pinned
and they thought they might
have eloped. However, in looking
through Schulyer's room they
found all his clothes intact, and,
Thompson said, they knew
Schulyer had very little money
with him.
Thompson called the state
police again and gave them a
complete description of both
people. The police told him
had checked all the hospitals
and police stations and still
had no word of the couple.
At S a in. yesterday the girl's
parents arrived on campus and
the state police dispatched two
patrol cars to the Whipples Dam
area•
By the time the couple re
turned yesterday morning the po
lice had dispatched four cars to
the Whipples are and had put out
a 13-state alarm for them.
Schulyer said they had no idea
they had caused so much excite
ment.
A University official said
yesterday that both Schulyer
and Miss Zimmerman were
very reliable people and that
they had never done anything
of this nature before. Schulyer
told the officials he wanted to
walk back to State College as
soon as he found he could not
get the car out of the mud, but
Miss Zimmerman was afraid to
walk through the back roads
of the area at night. The offi
cials said their story was plaus
ible and four Phi Sigma Kappa
members went out to the area
yesterday and found the car
still in the mud.
The officials said the couple
walked the entire distance back
to State College and reported the
incident immediately. It is not yet
known what action the Unlver.
say will take in the matter.

Laßar Explains
Council's Stand
TO THE EDITOR: Because of
the number of questions which
have been put to me by stu
dents in recent weeks I would
like to attempt to clarify the
Agriculture Student Council's
stand on reorganization of stu
dent government.
Our opposition to reorgan
ization stems from our concern
that the new untried system
possesses some dangers that
might be even worse than
those inadequacies in the pres
ent system that we are trying
to correct.
To some people it appears
that we are trying to play one
political party against another
by placing candidates. for of
fice in both parties. Though
opposed to the plan in prin
ciple we do hope that we
might have representation
should the plan be adopted. We
have provided both parties
with information on individuals
who were interested and quali
fied for the new assembly with
any decision being left to the
party.
Only one individual was se
lected from this list, the parties
using their own right and in
itiative in selecting several
agriculture students at-large.
Only to - the extent that we are
trying to keep these candidates
informed on campus and col
lege issues and are lending
our support to them may we be
playing sides.
We do not feel that we as a
college are any better than the
next or deserve special treat•
ment. However, we do have a
vast number of college-spon
sored activities, socials and or
ganizations which we want to
see both protected and shared
with other colleges. With only
one indirect representative (in
the SGA President's Cabinet)
through the Inter-C allege
Council Board this will not al
ways be possible. A represen
tative will provide a direct line
of communication to the assem
bly.
Several years ago such rep
resentation proved valuable
when we opposed the removal
of sections of Hort Woods, long
an outdoor laboratory for agri
culture and other college class
es. Arrangements suitable to
all concerned were worked out.
During the past years there
have been numerous other ex
amples of Cabinet problems in

stand is justified.
—Robert J. Laßar, '59
Former President, Agri
culture Student Council
Student Suggests
Informal 'Summit'
TO THE EDITOR: After con
siderable deliberation on the
world situation today we have
come to the disheartening con
clusion that the ultimate out
come might be the complete
destruction of the human race.
We believe that the world's
chaotic condition is due to
many things among which are
primarily:
a) The lack of knowledge
about the different peoples of
the world, their countries and
their ways of life and thinking;
b) A misunderstanding of
the conditions existing in the
countries and their effects on
the decisions made at the top
levels:
c) Lack of continuous per
sonal contact among the lead
ers of the world, such as heads
of governments, UN delegates,
important world personalities,
etc.
d) The promotion of exag
gerated information about oth
er peoples among the various
countries.
We therefore suggest a pro
gram which should be such
that it embraces the following
ideas:
a) The leaders should take a
week-long vacation together at
least once a year during which
they would meet and have in
formal discussions.
b) This meeting should be
primarily held to enable the
leaders to have a frank and
informal exchange of ideas and
feelings about whatever topics
they would care to bring up
for discussion.
d) The press should not be
allowed to cover these discus
sions.
a) The conclusions reached
thro u g h these discussions
should not be made official or
binding on the leaders and
should not be publicized
through a communique.
We would be very much in
terested in having your com
ments with respect to the afore
mentioned proposal.

World Understanding
