PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion ICCB Proposal-- Step in Which Direction? It's a crying shame! The inconsistent activity of the SGA Assembly has prompted the Intercoliege Council Board to propose what appeals to be a step back toward the old Cabinet system. The recommendation calls for seating of all 10 student council presidents on Assembly. As it stands now, any member of a student council including a president may run for Assembly. However, the basic representation is on the class level with a specific number of Assemblymen from each class. The new SGA has been in operation since May. It has shown spurts of activity but for the most part has been tangled in minor discussions with little accomplished. It is this sporadic activity which has prompted some mem bers of student government to think there must be some better way of getting action. But what defects have appeared thus far are not necessarily in the system. The fault seems to lie in lack of Assemblymen to fulfill their duties on this body—that of representatives. One of the main objections advanced by ICCB was lack of communications. However, in the present system there is ample opportunity for any student, any student council, any "interest group" to make its views known through individual Assembly members. These channels are not being used. The new SGA constitution is on a 2-year trial before it comes up for final approval by the Senate subcommittee on organization control. It is up to the present Assembly to prove or disprove whether the reorganized system is THE system for our Individual student body. The present system with its basic concept of class representation and no automatic members of Assembly— other than class presidents—is worth saving. But it won't save itself!

PENNSYLVANIA GEORGE McTURK Business Manager Letters Jr. Blasts Faculty, Crew During Blizzard TO THE EDITOR: Two suggest ions appear to be in order regard ing an improvement of student and faculty mobility during future snowstorms. Firit of all, what happened to the cinder crews during the last 10-inch blizzard? The streets were taken care of, to be sure, but how about the sizeable num ber of vital pedestrian arteries, glistening with ice, that were left untouched by human hands? As we well know, snow itself is enough of a barrier, but when ice is pei milted to remain on steps and hills, or even on heavily traveled flat surfaces, possible results are not difficult to visual ize A familiar thud, usually fol lowed by a few choice words of profanity, ranked well among the most familiar scenes during the pact week. Clearly, a tight rope artist would experience hardships in maintaining his bal ance on these slippery collegiate walks. My other grievance is directed at the faculty. Nothing is more distressing to the industrious student two minutes late for class than to have the instructor or professor comment derogatorily, "So where were you?!" Under normal conditions it oft en borders on the impossible to reach one's destination in a dis tant building in the prescribed, and it might be added, scanty, 10 minute period.

At the risk of repeating much of what you have already heard, I should like here to offer just a few more words on the "pro" side of the discussion. The proper and most healthy way for anyone to approach any mode of college living is to be skeptical. The fact is that whether a man chooses to live in the dormitories, as a town independent, or as a frater nity man, the entire way of life is new and should not be tak en lightly. Before entering college, few. if any, of us have had experi ence in living the way we do in college. The question for the skeptic to ask, then, is "which of the living facilities at Penn State is the one which offers the most to me in my educa tional process?" Right now there are hun dreds of men living in some 50- odd fraternities at Penn State who stand as visible proof that the fraternity system does of fer a great deal. All of these men have lived for a year as independents in the dormi tories and have, thus, chosen fraternity life over that of the independent. And few could honestly say that they had made a mistake. For a semester I, myself, lived as an off-campus inde pendent. To be quite honest, it was a fair life which proved not so acceptable as so many ~•ill insist. However, I accepted the opportunity to live in a Student Lobby Club Explained TO THE EDITOR: In this col- scene, are undertaking a series umn a few weeks ago was a of studies on the United States letter in which the lack of and Africa.

The fact is that I found many advantages in my new life which could not be had living either in the dormitories or as a town independent. No mode of independent living offers the pleasure and satisfaction of working as an integral part of a functioning group of re spected men. This type rela tionship is just not possible anywhere else on this campus of 14,000 people. And, I feel it is a very im portant part of an education to carry part of the responsibility of a group of 40 to 60 men and to gain valuable experience in both the personal and physical administration involved. In summary, I would like to take matters into my own hands for a moment and speak for all Penn State fraternities. We in vite you all, whether interest ed in fraternities or not, to come by to at least a few houses and give them the once over to see what our life really has to offer you. Don't simply stand on the advice of your friends whether they be fraternity men or in dependents. To be entirely fair to yourself, you should see this life. I suspect that even the most skeptical of you will observe that fraternities do have something important to offer. Then, the only question which remains for you is whether or not what we have to offer is what you want. And, I dare say that for most of you the things offered in fra ternity living are at least part of what you would like to gain from a well-rounded col lege education. —George G.
