Professor Snarf, who represents the students’ ideal all around professor, will be chosen by penny vote during SGA Bi Opposed By Soph Board The Sophomore Advisory Board went on record Sunday as opposing the SGA bill that would prevent Assemblymen from switching parties while in office. . In a short debate Duane Alex ander, president of the sopho more class, said that he was op posed to the bill on the grounds that a paity’s platform and ideals may change after the Assembly man’s election -and he should therefore be peimitted to change his affiliation. In other business, Robert Harrison, chairman of the scholarship committee, reported that it would be feasible for the sophomore class to set up a scholarship to be awarded by the Senate Committee on Scholarships. A long debate followed Harri-; son’s leport on the issue of whether or not "the class would financially be able to start such a scholarship after the expendi tures for the combined Sopho more-Freshman dance set for April 8.

Words to Watch Honor System Aids Students—Zelko By JERRIE MARKOS (This is the second in a series of articles in which distinguish ed members of the faculty and staff comment on issues of the day. Today's guests are Dr. Howard P. Zelko, professor of speech and Dr. James J. Fritz, associate professor of chemistry. This week’s question is “Does the honor system belong at Penn State?”) Dr. Zelko: Yes, the philoso phy of the honor system is good for young people who are developing and training for their life’s work. To answer in the affirmative on this question one must be somewhat of an idealist, he said. "I, personally, don't believe in too strong or too close a super vision of people in general, whether it be of a superior over worker or teacher over student." A teacher should be a leader not a boss, a stimulator and guide not a director, he said. Zelko said he thought the chances of any unfortunate cir cumstances (cheating) woud be less likely under a system of hon or in which a student is not being watched by a limited number of proctors but by every other per son in the room. However, he said he believed people were basically honest. He cited the American credit system society as evidence of this. He said that an honor sys tem would boost the morale of the faculty which the student body deserves.
