PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion It's Your Vote, Frosh Student Council elections got off to a miserable start yesterday—a dismal prediction for the success of forth coming elections. A handful of students, an infinitesimal number con sidering the present enrollment of the freshman class, cast then ballots for council representatives. The representatives to be elected now will serve as the only official link the students have with their colleges. They will be determining policies for students in matters pertaining to their respective colleges. If there were no such elections, if the student council presidents chose to appoint council Members at the drop of a hat, the students who ignored the polls would probably be the first to protegt this usurpation of their rights. But as is the case, no one bothers to take advantage of the voting privilege while it is here. What has happened to the spirit of the Class of '63? It rose to great heights at the beginning of the year and now appears to have dissolved as fast as it began. Or does this spirit carry on only at Beaver Field and then drift away until the next football game? Class spirit does not apply to one specific field. Repre sentat►on in student government is of primary importance to each student who has an obligation to decide who is going to represent him. Today is the final day to vote for council representa tives. The outcome will determine the true spirit of the class as carried on through every phase of student life. An empty ballot box can only defeat the purposes of the student councils in representing the students. Ridiculous Politics The State of Michigan is facing utter disaster. The rea son: 12 years with a Democratic governor and a Republi can controlled legislature resulting in no cooperation whatsoever on a long-range tax plan. Michigan State University has received a 27.6 per cent cut in its state appropriations because no revenue is corning into the state treasury. It may have to close its doors or send 30 per cent of its students home. We hope legislators in Harrisburg see these deplorable developments and get together before something happens here. 011 r Daily Tollrgiatt Successor to The Free Lance, en. 1887 Published Tuesday through Saturday morning during the University year.

Legal Talk Opens Steel Proceedings By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON (P)-- No matter what they are, nearly all our major problems seem inevitably to wind up in the Supreme Court. And so yesterday,.in a set ting as remote from an open heat th furnace or a picket line as one could possibly get, we all settled down to the un settled steel strike The strike has gone on for 112 days. And it's up to the court to decide whether it's to continue or whether the 500,- 000 employes should obey an injunction and go back to work for at least 80 days. The issue was important. The legal questions were substan tial. With history to be made, an overflow crowd was on hand early. For us spectators. the first activity came at 10:55 a.m., five minutes before the argu ments were scheduled to begin. A court flunkey came around THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. SPATE COLLE(.7e. reiNINSYLVpI/4NIA GEORGE McTURK Business Manager and said in a voice-of-doom tone: "Button your coats." On this note of formality, the drama began. To a non-lawyer, it soon seemed that the court had booted one decision even be fore a word was said. In mod ern times, the court has se verely limited the time each lawyer may have. Maybe he's cut to a half hour or, in the big ones, an hour. Yesterday the court came in with an unusual verdict: Let there be arguments unlimited. Given this unrestricted space to move his legal arguments about, Arthur G. Goldberg took leisurely off for the Steel workers. Goldberg said he wanted to review the facts in the case, and then he traced the legal dis pute appeal by appeal, most of which undoubtedly was known to any judge who reads a news paper, True, he was interrupted from time to time by the jus tices, and especially by Felix Frankfurter. Although Frankfurter will Letters Student Favors Varsity Hockey TO THE EDITOR: Penn State takes pride in its fine participa tion in the major collegiate sports. However, I feel that State is lacking one of the most exciting and competitive activities, ice hockey. Many of the major col leges and universities in the East, Midwest, and Far West have now accepted this as a major sport. Considering the fact that our new ice skating rink is nearing completion, there is no feasible reason to hinder the formation of varsity hockey. Hockey will bring us into con tact with universities we do not meet in other sports. Why not put Penn State's name among the rest of the leading universi ties that are vieing in the winter sport? —Elliot Newman, '63 (Editor's Note: SGA Assembly has recommended that the Uni versity establish an ice hockey team.

He and Goldberg had a pleas ant chat over technological ad vances in the steel industry. These have been great, al though unfortunately they don't mean much if no one is working. Finally Goldberg wound up the recent history lesson. Time needed: 40 minutes. As he developed his argu ments that the national health and safety. are not threatened, that this process may be unconstitutional the straight backed wooden chairs supplied the press got harder and harder. Especially when Goldberg kept sayin, "later I shall have something to say about this," and, "I shall ad vert to that later." After two hours this report er, who does have to worry about time, slipped away as Goldberg was saying: "I would like to introduce that a little later in the argument." ttie Man on Campus by Dick DU 0/# 11. ,4 C...., ay.% VV-12. 000 I FINALLY NV - IV 171zAW V' LINE" Nittany Controversy Continues TO THE EDITOR: In an effort to provoke more discussion of the Nittany compensation con troversy, I would like to pre sent some facts which, at pres ent, are unknown to most resi dents of the Nittany area. 1. The reasons for the in clusion of compensations in the budget, as they were stated by the executive committee yes terday, are the same reasons that were almost unanimously rejected by the 24-member Nit tany Council in the week pre ceding the budget session. 2. ft was made quite clear at the budget session that these reasons were not the grounds for the passage of compensa tion amendment. 3. The council members who passed the budget refused to discuss the reasons for their actions. It is my opinion that the question was actually decided by the six council members who absented themselves from this important meeting. In any event, it was certainly not de cided by the residents of Nit tany. It should be understood that it is not my purpose here to antagonize my fellow council members. I present these facts with the hope that Nittany area residents will make their opin ions known. Those of us who opposed the compensation amendment may then rest easy knowing that the 'council will act in the best interest of all. —Charles Johnson, President, Nittany 43 WDPM PROGRAM SCHEDULE WEDNESDAYS WDFM 91.1 megacycles :55 Weatheracope :00 Marquee Memories :55 News •00 Jazz Panorama :00 Forum of the Air :30 Artnt Series Preview :15 News and Sports :00 Virtuoso PI %Nk IS DO YCO ANT c 1 THE REST OF 146 ANOKA, SNOOPY? 0 .741 f $44 t1,14,ea 1 ...

What to do with all of the stu dents' money! It really is a shame that the Council just can't find a worthy cause for their money. Last week however someone did come up with an idea on how to unload some of the ex cess in their bulging treasury. Compensation was- an answer to this big problem. Nittany Council defends the paying of all of the officers on the council by saying that the paying of money will make the dormitory residents keep better tabs on their presidents and insure that they are per forming their jobs properly. I feel that the residents should have elected men to the coun cil who are capable of doing the job with or without com pensation. The thing that I most strong ly object to is the fact that sutdents' money is being used to pay for the activity of a few. Part of Nittany's money comes directly out of all the resi dents' pockets and This is now being transferred into the pockets of representatives who were trusted to handle this money wisely. It certainly is a shame that there was not a wiser way to use all of this money so that it would benefit all of the stu dents instead of just a few. I don't know whether the council even considered using this money for things like World University Service or many other worthy organiza tions on campus who don't hap pen to have a bulging treasury. But might I suggest that they at least consider this! —Duane Johnson President, West Halls Council 5 - eigaz e..
