Editorial Opinion
Cabinet Forward Passes;
Assembly Has the Ball
The SGA Cabinet, in taking two definite stands last
night, has set a pace which should be followed by the
Assembly.
Cabinet recommended that Sunday parking regula
tions be rescinded and also that at least $6OOO be appropri
ated annually by the Board of Trustees to support a suit
able Lecture Series.
The Sunday regulations stand out as one of the most
ridiculous parts of the new parking code.
The 24-hour regulations were established to give
faculty and staff members guaranteed parking spaces for
odd-hour work. However, it is obvious that few, if any,
need the spaces on Sundays, especially in the morning.
Students, staff and faculty members have received
tickets for illegal parking while attending Sunday worship
set vices. The State College borough has taken a creditable
step forward by allowing parking in normal "no parking"
zones near town chat ches. Administration officials should
take the hint.
In addition, the Hetzel Union Building parking lot is
unusually crowded with visitors on Sundays. This elimi
nates even more parking spaces that are available to
students.
Concerning the Lecture Series, Cabinet acted on a
recommendation by SGA President Leonard Julius.
The present successful Artist Series operates under a
substantial grant from the Trustees. However, funds for
the Lecture Series comes only from a snecial fund provided
by President Eric A. Walker.
Last year's Lecture Series brought such famous per
sonalities as Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and Clement Ailee to
campus. Due to the lack of funds this year, the series, com
mittee has been left with only co-sponsorship of a series
of lectures with the Department of Sociology.
The proposed $6OOO would set the series on a sound and
permanent basis. Instead of having to settle for speakers
who are virtually unknown to students, the series could
sponsor more famous personalities.
Assembly should follow the lead of Cabinet and pass
these recommendations. It should also pick up the spirit
and bring student government into a better light before
students and administration.

Students Can't
Find Papers
TO THE EDITOR: "Sorry, no
more Collegians today." How oft
en have you heard that cheery
phrase when you try to get a
paper?
Unless you're in line at dawn
or shortly thereafter it's almost
impossible to - get a Collegian.
Yet, everyone pays for a copy,
whether or not they receive a
paper. '
A semester's subscription fee
for the Collegian is included in
each student's semester fee s.
That's 15.000 students paying for a
paper that less than half receive.
We asked one of the Collegian's
VlP's about this and were told
that Collegian prints 7000 papers
daily. From this they take mail
order subscriptions, advertisers'
gratis copies and the remaind
er is left for the students.
Because of increased profits,
some staff members have asked
Collegian, Incorporated, the cor
porate "brain", trust behind our
school paper, to authorize publi
cation of an extra 2500 copies each
day.
If seems as if Collegian could
afford to print these extra copies.
with advertising volume and se
mester dues at their highest.
Why shouldn't there be a paper
for everyone, since everyone does
pay for one?
—David Truby, '6O
—Karl Bopp, '6O
(Editor's Note: Collegians bought
individually cost 5 cents per issue.
Doing this a student would pay
$7.50 for the - 150 issues a near.
Students now pay only $2.20 per
year. Subscription rate is $5 per
year. Collegian is investigating
how many extra papers it can af
ford to print daily. There has been
no request made yet, but a deci
sion will be made next week.)
Senior Attacks
Ticket Scalpers
TO THE EDITOR: Next Saturday
at Beaver Field thousands of fans
will hear the cries of the vendors
"Hey! Hey! Get your hotdogs and
programs here! Just 50 cents."
But right now there are many
who are hearing another ven
dor's cry—" Hey! Hey! Get your
Syracuse tickets here. Just $25!"
Many optimistic persons who
bought tickets for $4 apiece are
now selling the same for scalping
prices. Let's put these people in
their place once and •for all by
providing closed circuit telecasts
of important University events,
starting with the Syracuse foot
ball game.
It was stated in Thursday's
edition of The Daily Collegian
that a Liberty Bowl Screening
Committee will watch the Syra
cuse game on a closed circuit.
Why not extend this privilege to
those who were just recently
cheated of a "home game"?

Nittany Questi
TO THE EDITOR: In answer
to the many questions which
have been brought to our at
tention, we, the executive
committee of Nittany Council,
find it necessary to explain
our reasons for introducing
council compensations in coun
cil's budget.
In past years, as most dorm
residents realize, dorm presi-
dents didn't fulfill their posi
tions adequately. As a result,
dorm counselors were forced
to do their job and the presi-
dent's job.
The responsibilities of a dorm
president are as follows:
1. Attend all council meet
ings or send an alternate.
2. Act as a liaison between
council and his dormitory resi
dents.
3. Preside over all dorm
meetings.
4. Enforce quiet hours in his
dorm.
5. Attend to all matters con
cerning his dorm and its resi
dents, or channel them to one
of his officers.
6 Insure that all dorm com
mittees are functioning prop
erly.
7. Serve as a liaison between
the counselor and the men of
the dorm.
8. Appoint such committees
as needed to carry out the
functions of the unit.
The main reason that the
council executive committees
proposed this measure was as
an incentive, not to the dorm
presidents, but to the dorm
residents:
It is our general opinion that
if dormitory residents realized
that their president is being
compensated by council they
will insure, that he is perform
ing his job properly in every
respect.
In this same manner the
dorm presidents will now take
advantage of the council offi
cers.
We feel that being the rich
est council on campus does not
give us the right to spend
money unwisely. However, we
are of the opinion that this
money will be of benefit to
the entire area, not just a
small minority.
—Barry Rein, president;
Richard Krouse, vice president;
Kenneth Piper, secretary;
Charles Caruse, treasurer; Rob
ert Slater, parliamentarian;
Albert Deibler, William Tan
ski, representatives to AIM.
TO THE EDITOR: Regarding
Nittany Council's compensa
tion and the remarks previous
ly made in your paper about it:
The distinction of receiving
compensation for one's duties is
not unique on this campus.
AIM officers, various club offi
cers, and Others also receive
compensation in one form or
another. -
The compensation of Nittany
Council is more of an experi
ment than anything. I believe
that if those who are served
by the council feel their offi
cers are being compensated, or
unduly so, they, the people of
the dorms, will expect more
from the Council and will
quite probably get it.
Like most democratic organ
izations, once elections are over
people tend to lose interest in
the governing -body unless
something they consider radi
cal is done. Now they will
question the. council's activi-

SO IT HAS
fa :t i lt rt.
Aft.a.4lll _411110...• -
on Pro, Con
TO THE EDITOR: Being a
member of the Nittany Coun
cil, I feel compelled to voice a
few of my opinions on the con
trove r s i a l "compensation"
granted to council members.
In the first place, the bill
was far from being unanimous
ly popular with all the mem
bers of the council and the
residents of the Nittany area.
Members of the dorm of
which I am the president have
voiced their objections about
the subject to me, and I am
sure that there are many oth
ers who feel the same way.
Secondly, when one is elect
ed to any council, he accepts
the position with full under
stariding of the responsibilities
involved, but with no expecta
tion of monetary reward.
Finally, since the compensa
tion of the council members is
being done with funds alloted
to the Nittany area for area
improvements, I feel that the
issue should have been decided
by the entire area.
• Letter Cut
—Richard Goodman,
President, Nittany 39
TO THE EDITOR: In Satur
day's Collegian one letter and
one editorial spoke Qut against
the actions of the Nittany
Council. The point in question
was compensations.
One objection allowed that
the council had several reasons
for justifying compensations,
and both suggested that the
council had not considered
campus-wide effects.
The council, in fact, did-not
consider campus-wide effects,
nor did it give one good rea
son to justify compensations
for the area officers. Even
when directly questioned
about ,their reasons, the coun
cil, in a body, refused to discuss
the justification for their ac
tions. Apparently there was
nothing to discuss.
I wonder how many Nittany
area residents are aware that
$405, almost 20 per cent of the
total budget, was voted for
compensations. I wonder how
many realize that an expendi
ture of this amount could be
better justified elsewhere or, at
least, justified.
One of the most important
responsibilities of our - - area
council is the administration of
the funds in its treasury. This
should be done justly and
without personal bias.
The funds in the Nittany
treasury belong to all of the
residents in Nittany area. We
would do well to make the
council representatives aware
of how we want it' spent. The
present budget certainly needs
to be rescinded and rewritten
without, compensations. .

ties and legislations, and they
may even have enough interest
to come to meetings.
No other Councils are ex
pected to follow suit. This
measure was not stressed for
that purpose although the con
sequences were thought of
beforehand. If the 'compensa
tion ,does not prove worth
while, next year's Nittany
Council will not have to ac
cept it.
