r'AGE FOUR One View Cabinet, Assembly To Cooperate This The Student Government Association officially begins operations this week with the first meetings of Cabinet and Assembly. Both bodies are in unique positions in that the future of this reorganized system will depend upon how effective each one proves itself to be. This effectiveness is not the sole factor to determine the worth of the newest student government system on this campus in 20 years. Another one, and perhaps the most important one of all, is whether the Assembly and Cabinet will cooperate in achieving a common goal— efficient student government. The first few weeks last spring following the inaugu ration of the reorganization system were characterized by each branch trying to assert superiority over the other. This will not lead to good student government and cer tainly not to cooperative action. Cabinet is the executive body and as such can make recommendations to the Assembly which is the highest legislative organ for the student body. But, both branches are vitally important to a smooth-running system of student government. The conduct last spring brought a member of the ad ministration to remark at the 1959-60 Student Encamp ment—“ Why have a Cabinet at all if it has no way of pre senting its ideas to the Assembly? Why is the Assembly so afraid that Cabinet ideas cannot stand or fall on their own merit? Will there always be a natural antagonism on the part of the Assembly to Cabinet?’’ These words should be kept in mind and should be taken seriously by both the executive and legislative bodies. They apply to both, and it is up to student govern ment to prove the former questions unfounded. Along this line it can also be said that while many of the Assembly members are new to student government and its proceedings, they are on their way to learning how to operate a successful legislature and must be given every opportunity to develop their leadership and self confidence. The new system promises to be most effective answer to the expanding University. But, as it happens in any thing new, flaws will be discovered and these flaws will be corrected to meet the goals set for successful student government. This cannot be done while each branch is attempting to tone down the other and make itself all powerful. Student government is on trial this year, and it will be interesting and educational to see how it works out. Let’s put the entire student government system ahead of the individual bodies which make it up and.achieve the goals that lay behind reorganization. A Commendable Audiance Hats off to the number of students who attended the Spivakovsky violin concert Sunday night. The full house in Schwab Auditorium was a clear indication that more students are beginning to take an interest in some of the cultural and intellectual oppor tunities offered them on campus. The reception which they gave to the noted performer was an excellent show of social maturity and apprecia tion of fine music. Let’s see more turnouts and conduct similar to this in future events.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Urged Year Cathy, Fleck Assistant Editor Letters Open Windows Minus Screens invite Prowlers TO THE EDITOR: Believe it or not the University is lucky that 50 coeds weren’t kidnapped last night (Sept. 24)! Or maybe the coeds were the lucky ones since they didn’t have to worry about buzzers sounding if some friend took the risk of sneaking her girlfriend in the back door. Under the circumstances she could have invited her male friend into the room through her window (providing she lived on ground floor of Simmons), which through some accident on hous ing's part was left wide open without even the protection of the screen; or the girl could have just stepped out of her window to freedom and no hours. But since the girls were trusted without the usual hammered-on screens, only a little bit of fun was had by playing the old game “Go In and Out the Windows” before curfew time. Getting back to the seriousness of the matter, we find that much fuss was raised over how prowlers got in the dormitory in previous years. This year we find our selves (ground floor coeds espe cially) inviting dangers of this sort. In the future we should guard against such a slip-up. I’m sure Dean Weston would’nt have want ed her “little flowers” mutilated. —Joan Karlov/, '6l Coeds Feel Blue Band Doesn't Aid Studying TO THE EDITOR: We of tha fourth floor of Thompson Hall would appreciate it if the Blue Band would not practice during study hours.
