SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 11. 1960 Student Government Recent SGA System Continues You won't be reading this paper for very long before you'll begin to notice the let ters . SGA appearing frequent ly in the headlines. What then is SGA? How does it affect you? Who is behind it and why? SGA represents Student Gov ernment Association. SGA is, es sentially, the most important gathering of students on campus for it governs and 'co-ordinates student functions. _ It. is furthermore a stepping stone to the administration be- cause one of SGA's most import ant functions is the bringing of student opinions to the adminis tration. SGA, as such, began its second official year last April. Prior to SGA, the Student Government was called the All-University Cabinet and was composed of stu dent leaders of various activities all over campus. However, many students felt that representation would be more democratic and more ef- feciive if if were chosen com- pletely ' by election and based completely on the individual class population. !and any other pertinent matters. SGA, as a 'new form of student Cabinet may not make any offi government at Penn State, was!cial rulings but it does make introduced to the Cabinet in the recommendations to the Assem spring of 1959.

The SGA executive is the president, elected by the stu dents each spring for a one year term. He is the official rep resentative of the student body and is responsible for the proper administration of the govern ment. • He must be a junior at the time he is elected and must have at least a 2.4 All-University aver age. The latter requirement per tains to all students elected to SGA positions. This year's president is Rich ard Haber, University party. The other top officials on SGA are the vice president and-secre tary-treasurer who are elected with the president in the spring. Donald Clagett, University party, and Susan Sherman, Campus party, are this year's vice president and secretary- treasurer. Like the Federal government, SGA has an executive body, Cabi net, which is strictly advisory. It is composed of the SGA officers and the presidents of certain oth er campus organizations Cabinet meets every week pricir to the SGA Assembly meeting arid discusses the Assembly agenda PENNekbivzion c xwts'im.
