Kenworthy did not say when Walker had received the report. Walker returned to his office Monday after visiting the Uni versity-run research center in La Spezia, Italy and then at tended the Penn State-Miami football game Saturday in Flori da. "This is the first chance he has had to look at it," Ken worthy said. The report is a study by Albert E. Diem, vice president for busi ness administration, on the feasi bility of establishing a student run bookstore. Walker appointed Diem to make the study last June after the Board of Trustees received an SGA re port on the need for a bookstore. Kenworthy would not comment on the contents of the report or if Walker will make them public. "You will have to wait for his statement," he said. Neither would he say if Walk er will present Diem's report to the Board of Trustees at its meeting on Oct. 13. Diem also refused to comment on the report's contents, adding only that "you will have to wait for the president's decision." Phillip Steinhauer, for mer chairman of the SGA Bookstore, Committee, said yesterday that he has not been told the contents of ' the report. "The job is finished,". he said. "I am sure it is all-inclusive and will solve the bookstore issue' once and for all." Speculating on the question of whether Walker will present the report to the trustees, Stein hauer recalled that Walker said he would take this action, but added that he "didn't know Walker's intentions." Dennis Foianini, SGA president, supported Steinhauer's statement, saying that "Since President Walker requested Mr. Diem to make the report, it would be logi cal to assume that he will go to the board, whether or not the report is favorable." Seven Recommendations Made By SGA Evaluation Workshop By MEG TEICHHOLTZ Editorial Editor (This is the third of a series of articles concerning the recent student encampment. It deals with the workshop which end ' uated student government.) The "Evaluation of SGA" workshop, which spent much of its discussion on the philoso phy of student government made seven recommendations pertinent to SGA's functioning. All of these recommendations will be appended to the revised SGA constitution when it is sub mitted to the Senate Committee on Student Affairs for approval, Dennis Foianini, SGA president and chairman of the workshop said last night. The first recommendation asks SGA to determine limited areas FOR A BETTER PENN STATE UNIVERSITY PARK. PA.. TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 3. 1961 Syria Mass Steinhauer Heads New Hot Council The Hat Society Council, a body composed of representa tives from each of the hat so cieties on campus, was re organized Sunday night. Phil- Hip Steinhauer, president of Skull and Bones, was elected [ president of the council. The Hat Society Council was dissolved last year and replaced by a Hat Society Coordinator, a single person who organized the activities sponsored by the various hat societies. The new body grew out of an idea introduced at a meeting of Skull and Bones, senior men's hat society, to reorganize the council in order to prevent du plication of activities and to provide new services, Stein hauer said. The purpose of the new council is to organize the hat societies for the betterment of the University and to act as a liason between the administration and hat societies, he said. Steinhauer said that the first meeting of presidents and secre taries from each of the hat socie ties was held shortly after Stu dent Encampment and that the official decision to reorganize the council was made Sunday night. One of the proposed activities of the hat societies under the council will be lo replace the motorcades and mass gather ings after victorious away foot ball games with planned activi ties like bonfires and walk cedes, Steinhauer said. "There must be a less destruc tive way to celebrate than to pile 30 kids on top of a convertible," he said. Steinhauer said that one of the main purposes of the council will be to promote school spirit at sporting events in the winter a:; well as at football games and pep rallies. The hat society skits at the pep rallies have been or ganized by the council, he said. Another aim of the council is to bring a warmer, friendlier at (Continued on page six) in which it would have final gov ernmental jurisdiction. The con census at the workshop favored' seeking this jurisdiction in the judicial power of discipline. This will be the specific request made to the senate committee, chaired by Dr. Laurence Lattman. This recommendation grew from two sources. First the stu dents on the committee felt that SGA should seek some definite and irrevocable jurisdiction over some part of student affairs. Secondly, Dr. Robert Bern reuter. special assistant to the president for Student Affairs. said at the formal convocation that eventually students should have complete authority over their government affairs. He was later questioned by the students in the group as to just how much power the administra tion would permit students to gain over their own affairs.

' f Bernreuter then replied that "this varied from year to year, de pending on the administration's evaluation of the responsibility of the student leader," Later the same day Dr. Mon roe Newman, past chairman of the Senate Committee on Stu dent Affairs said "SGA would be foolish to accept Dr. Bern reufer's statement that power varies with the responsibility of the leader. It is a direct contra diction to his statement at the convocation." Elliot Newman, past SGA As semblyman, added that this phil osophy of varying power "makes a mockery of student government"' and it was in reaction to it that the group recommended establish ing defined governmental areas.
