'Jlif* Standing Committee on Legislation will ask As "inblv members to approve the appointment of class oUne:„ by the class presidents, should they see fit to have such officers. '1 Ins is-.no came up in Octobei when a proposal was madr> t„ put the two officers on the election ballot along vdh the clas. presidents and Assembly candidates. Con strict ation of the proposal was postponed until the Awmhlv had its full constitutional membership. The committee's proposal is tho best solution to the situation since it would allow the class president to decide, if there is a real need, for officers io assist him. The objections to electing additional officers is ob vioiii. V/ith half of the Assembly mcmbeislup being elect ed each semester, two extia candidates on the ballots would only add to the difficulty of finding enough quali fied and interested person for all positions. 15/ placing the option of class vice presidents and seciehii \ -treasuici s with the piesident, the Assembly will be both giving the president the chance to pick quali fied people for the offices based on interest, and to avoid tho unnecessary placement of these candidates on an election ballot More Honor-Less Secrecy Eta Kappa Nu, electrical engineering honoraiy society, voted at their national convention to remove the secrecy from their inductions ceremonies. In keeping-with this vote, the campus chapter recently held an induction banquet where friends and relatives of the honored initiates could watch ttie proceedings with pride. In doing this, Eta Kappa Nu has followed the lead of professional fraternities like Sigma Delta Chi (jour nalism) and social fraternities like Delta Upsilon, who believe that an honor is something to be shared with parents and friends. It seems that honor and secrecy just don’t go together. The purpose of most honorary societies is to provide rec ognition for students who have been outstanding in their major fields. Ifow can one be propetly recognized when the highlight of the invitation to membership—the actual induction ceremony—is closed to the people most inter ested. If a family is pround enough of their son’s fraternity aifiliation to pay the bill, it follows that they are inter ested in seeing him become a member.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA GEORGE McTURK Business Manager Without Malice Muttering Over the Liberty Bowl by denny malick Yippee! Yippee! I finally got a date for the Liberty Bowl game, She’s about six feet six and about four feet broad. And, man, like warm. In fad, ‘'she’s” an electric blanket. What better time to become an electric Linus than when we’ll be sitting outside on a haid cold bench in Philadel phia on Dec. 19? It'll certainly be interesting to observe what the typical college conformists will be wearing to the game. Do they fur-line gams yet? Coeds could take a clothing tip fiom a recent news story out of Collegeville, near Phila delphia, on what’s being worn Letters West, North Join Rally TO THE EDITOR: I think Mr. Rein was a little overzealous in the beginning of his letter printed in Tuesday’s Collegian. He states that the “North and West Halls are always sound ing off about anything unim portant.” It seems to me the North Halls residents have sounded off only once this year. This was concerning the guarding of the Lion. I would point out that their comments came only after they had taken it upon themselves to perform a func tion which the other two areas were incapable of doing. Is this unimportant? In the same vein, the importance of Nittany’s regular outbursts appears de batable. In answer to the challenge, the majoiity group at the pep rally Monday night will be the men of the North Halls. I won der if the residents of Nittany will leave their “telephone” to Students Asked TO THE EDITOR: For the past few weeks, the students living in the Nittany area, in con junction with the Nittany Council and P.S.U. have been organizing and planning a fes tive Christmas party and bene fit for a number of deserving orphan children. Due to the fact that the mag nitude of this project has now exceeded previous expecta tions, w r e think it quite appar ent that our men are sincerely inteiested in staging a chari table event which best ex presses their desire to regener ate both student and Christmas spirit. We have assigned the title of Proiect Joey to this event.

As a small favor to them, we may even bring a few of our West Halls girls. Men of Nit tany. you do remember what they look like, don’t you?

On behalf of the entire liv ing area, we extend a very gracious invitation to you to attend the “Project Joey” Christmas Party, on Sunday afternoon in the Nittany Union Building. —Charles Slarbuck.

The temperatures dropped into the icy 50’s for the.last few days of practice. We heard a rumor yesterday that the bowl committee is going to heat the grandstands by setting fire to the pile of unsold tickets. Another interesting rumor was that the Nittany Lion has left for the Central Park Zoo in New York City. He’s trying to get the skin from the lion that was presented to the Uni versity about 15 years ago. The slogan boys are at work again for the game. They've come up with "Evaporate the Crimson Tide," "Plug Up the Crimson Tide," "Whitewash the Crimson." Just think, 50 years from now when the Liberty Bow! is THE post-season bowl game, we’ll be able to look back mid say: “Like man, we knew it when.” Nittany Men Blast Housing TO THE EDITOR: In reference to the article printed m Wednesday’s Collegian con cerning the Nittany telephone situation, It was stated that there are fewer telephones here because we pay less in fees than the other halls. Bui how can the Department of Housing say that we pay less because of the telephones? The main leason these is a difference is because of the fact that they force us to live in rooms comparable to the closets in North Halls. The dif fer ence in price is $25 per se mester, which accounts for the difference in rooms and the general conditions of the Nit tany area. For example, two men live in a confined area of 9 feet by 12 feet, including an obsolete double-decker bed, two desks, a “bookshelf,” and two anti quated bureaus. To cell you the truth, sardines have it bet ter than we do! Another wonder of this place is the heating system. Many of the guys, instead of listen ing to the radio, turn on their radiators and listen to the "rhythmic" sounds. They say that the guys in Nittany get very little sleep—the reason? Those radiators are constantly banging away in 4:4 time. You'd be surprised to know that it’s possible to dance to the noise. We invite anyone to coma down here and see if this is an exaggeration. We’ll leave the rest of the complaints to other Nittany ‘'sufferers.” —Arthur Fruchter, *63; Joseph Zurine, '63; David Mohr, '63; Alan Gates, '63; of Nittany 30
