PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion No Action Now The present SCA Assembly came to the sudden reali zation last night that it cannot make any changes in its new constitution. The body is sitting as an interim Assembly until the fall elections which will bring it to a complete body of 42 memners. Assemblymen came to this realization during debate on whether a vice president and treasurer for each class should he added, and if these offices are created, whether they would be appointed or elected. Although not mentioned at last night's meeting, this decision will also apply to the question of whether the president or vice president should chair Assembly. Placing the president as Assembly chairman would require an amendment to the constitution. The present body could at best pass a motion to make this recommen dation to the full Assembly. An Assembly standing committee will thoroughly discuss the vice president - treasurer election question. The same should be done with the chairmanship question to prevent unnecessary debate before the present and eventually the full Assembly. Win or Lose Will the Army game spirit return to"the student body for tomorrow's ci octal inter-sectional clash with Illinois? Student spirit and enthusiasm reached its peak prior to, during and after the Army game. Last week the team and the students suffered a letdown. Administration and faculty members praised both the spirit and conduct of the students two weeks ago. Now it seems that school spirit has returned to its lax Over 1000 tickets were sold for the Illinois game and this should ensure a large student cheering section. The cheerleaders have asked that all students form an honor line to greet the team before the opening kickoff. Win or lose, the team deserves a large welcome when it returns home Sunday afternoon. Plans have been made for a rally and the rest has been left up to the students.

Letters Student Criticizes Rec Hall Policy TO THE EDITOR: Why is it that our gymnastic team, al ways among the foremost in the country, is able to practice in public with perfect com posure amidst bouncing balls, flying badmintons, and clang ing weights, not to mention admiring coeds, while our bas ketball team cannot suffer the tread of one alien sneaker on the floor? For nearly six months of the University term it is so, and students are denied Recreation Hall facilities while no more 20 men monopolize the area. Why this policy of depriva tion should be, only the gods that be in the Athletic Office know, but this protester sug gests that perhaps Coach Wett stone's policy should be adopt ed.

Not another one! People who frequent the city room of the Daily Col legian hear us utter this little exclamation practically every hour-on-the-hour. It usually follows our trips to the mailbox in the front office to find out what timely gems of information have been put in our trust. For years, Collegian editors have been the recipients of hundreds of letters from such sources as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Peo ple (which they immediately termed subversive and threw into the waste paper basket), the Brooklyn branch of the Mango Tr ee Conservati o n League an d the Better Clothes fo r Beatniks As sociation. Most of these exciting epis tles have dis appeared from MISS LEVINE the office as mysteriously and as unopened as they appeared in the first place. But, this year, ever on the lookout for new sources of in formation, we began opening and reading them. This was our first big mistake!

We, as Cwens, by using our own purpose and activities as illustration, hope to clear up what seems to be a misunder standing of the role of the hat society at Penn State. Cwens is a national sopho more honorary society and at Penn State is comprised of coeds who have shown both high academic achievement and co-curricular participation dur ing the freshman year. We are an honorary then, not a service fraternity, and have no specific duties we must per form to rationalize our exis tence. If the activities we carry on are of a service nature, they Soph Hits Dangerous Walk TO THE EDITOR: This is an other letter on the parking problem here at Penn State. But it is more than a letter of complaint. It is a letter of warning of the potential dan ger that exists when a resident of North Halls goes to parking lot 83 to get his car. Let me explain. I live in North Halls. In or der to get my car I have to walk out Parkway Road for approxi mately one-fourth of a mile to parking lot 83. Other than the fact that it is an inconvenience, it is also dangerous. There are no sidewalks along this road. As a result I must walk on the road. Cars and trucks pass me constantly dur FRIDAY: OCTOBER 23, 1959 by bobbi levine gian would have to carry a staff of over 3000 people. An editorial board meeting would look like Schwab Auditorium on a rainy ROTC afternoon. Since we haven't, in fact, such a staff, we all take turns playing the role or roles re quired. We do this because we have never discovered who de livers the mail to the office and therefore we are forced to take pot-luck. Yesterday we found our selves simultaneously reading about the importance of ob serving Cat Week—lnterna tional and the necessity of wearing delicious dessert colors at Christmas time if we want ed to be in style. From this we decided that any cat worth his salt in any country wouldn't be caught dead in anything less than a strawberry-sherbert collar on Christmas Eve. But once we had this information we were a bit perplexed as to what to do with it. A very small percentage of our reading audience is made up of cats, and those who do read the paper (when they find it lining the bottoms of their boxes) usually belong to struggling college couples who could not afford to buy 'them such luxuries. However, despite the fact that we have yet to find a "news release" letter with any real news in it, we doggedly continue reading them in hopes of finding something worth while. As a matter of fact, we are just on our way out to get the next batch of mail. Who knows—today might be the day! are so because as an honorary we are interested in further serving Penn State, not because we feel we must do so to right fully remain an organization. As an honorary society, Cwens' progr3m includes monthly meetings with speak ers, ushering at Artist Series, making second-hand gym suits available to freshmen at a sav ings, and acting as counselors to freshman women in the ori entation program which con tinues throughout the fall se mester.

What will happen in the winter when the road is icy and cars go out of control easi ly? I think you can see the danger. There is a simple solution. There is an unpaved lot within the North Halls boundaries that is evidently supposed to be used for parking. Right now it is a mud hole, but it could be paved very easily. Why not prepare the area for parking before winter, and perhaps save some student from being crippled or killed? It's going to be paved some day. So .why not pave it now?
