Lattman Questions
Students' Actions
Student demonstrations at football games supporting an
extended Thanksgiving recess are of questionable value,
Laurence H. Lattman, chairman of the Senate Committee
on Student Affairs, said yesterday.
The idea of a longer Thanksgiving vacation is a private
affair between students and the
administration, Lattman said, and
there is little to be gained by
demonstrating in front of specta
tors who are not connected with
the University and understand
little about University affairs.
"I feel that it is airing internal
policy to a largely disinterested
public," he said.
Students at the Syracuse game
displayed banners saying "3
Days 4
,Turkey at Home" and
"Eat the Bird at Home." In
addition, the student body
chanted "We want a vacation"
during the game and at half
time. However an organized
demonstration as encouraged by
SGA president. Dennis Foianini,
last Friday never developed.
Students did display a large
banner over the Block "S" sec
tion saying that "Penn State
Needs State Money," referring to
the need for an increased appro
priation from the state legislature
for the University.
Lattman said that demonstra
tions concerning increased appro
priations could be valuable in
bringing to public attention a mat
ter which "can be influenced and
rectified by the public." However,

the public does not understand
and cannot influence a longer
Thanksgiving vacation, he said.
Orderly demonstrations are fine
and students shouldn't be chas
tized for participation. Lattman
said, as long as they serve some
purpose. But too often, publicity
maneuvers such as this are simp
ly attempts to cavort in the public
eye, he added.
Activity Program Set
An activity program for faculty
women and faculty wives will be
held in White Hall, beginning
today.
The first session, scheduled for
3 p.m., today in 105 White will
