ROTC:-': Bill ':
Dy DAVE MINKEL
The voluntary ROTC bill
passed by the - liberal arts fac
ulty Thursday will not be sub
mitted to the Univeisity Sen
ate today, R. Wallace Brews
ter,' chairman of the liberal arts
Uculty planning committee, said
yesterday.
The bill can not be sent ,to the
Senate at this time because the
committee report must be brought
up to date, he said.
The bill, which would make
ROTC voluntary for students in
the College of Liberal Arts
would not become effective
until xt is approved by the Um
versify Senate.
Brewster, an ardent supporter
of the bill, said that the faculty of
the College "accepted the invita
tion of the Department of Defense
In passing the bill."
"The defense department invited
each university or college to make
its own decision of whether ROTC
should be voluntary or manda
tory.
The bill passed by the liberal, ,
arts faculty
_resulted from a re
port of the college's committee on
ROTC and the Public Service. The
main points in the report are:
ts ROTC is not an essential part
of the liberal arts curricula. •A
well presented voluntary program
produces better military officers.
*The general direction in the
United States is away from com
pulsory ROTC. ,
Other points cited were that
the Defense Department is some-
What less than enthusiastic in its
support of compulsory ROTC and
the Senate Committee on EduCa
tonal Policy, while supporting
the value of ROTC instruction,
does not necessarily support man
datory ROTC.

Penn State's Nittany Lions,
battered, bruised and behind
by 15 points after two periods,
came out for two final tension
filled rounds with fire in thei
eyes only to watch a heart-stop
ping rally fall four points short,
21-17, under somber skies at Col

After a slow start the Lions
showed a complete reversal of
form in the second half to almost
run an inspired but fast-tiring
Maryland eleven out.of Byrd Sta

plays .by the Terps kept. State

needed to win. •

SGA Constitution Okay
Discussed, by Bernreuter
By CAROL KUNKLEMAN
The , SGA constitution could
be approved by next week,
Robert G. Bernreuter, special
assistant to the president for
student affairs, said yesterday.
"The time of approval depends
on when the students decide what
they want," Bernreuter said.
Bernreuter said he doesn't see
any further consideration of the
constitution in sight by the com
mittee "until the SGA president
requests it."
"Ask Mr. Foianini when that
will be," he said.
"The constitution as a constitu
tion has been approved by the
Paint committee," Bernreuter said.
"This fact has been pointed out
by Ruth Rifling, AWS president

Collegian editorial staff today
at 5:15, in 124 Sackett.
and student member of the com
mittee. The by-laws are haMper

Chartering of SGA depends on
approval of this constitution by the
University Senate Committees on
Student Affairs and Organiza
tional Control.
-The by-laws were, objected to
by Student members of the joint
committee, Bernreuter said, be
cause they couldn't agree on
whether political parties should
be allowed to conduct campaigns
in residence hall areas.
"The committee has already
approved having self-nomina
tions for SGA candidates," Bern.
muter said, "the
,question has
now arisen as to whether parties
should also be allowed to con
duct nominations."
"I really don't see what all the
fuss is about," he said. "It doesn't
'make any aifference, it seems to
me, whether or not a student is a
member of a political party to run.
He could be asked by a party to
go out and get 100 signatures to be
nominated or he could do it on

"They seem set on de-empha
sizing the tradition of the Thanks
giving holiday and unaware of
the great student feeling - for a
longer vacation," he said.,•
The request which will be pre
sented to the Senate will ask for
an extension of the present one
day holiday to 2 1 / 2 days for this
year only, Klein said.
The proposal which the stu
dents originally submitted to
the calendar committee was for
a ,change in Senate - calendar
policy , which would provide
for a longer vacation both this
year and in future years. The
committee voted unanimously
' not to recommend this proposal
to the Senate.
Klein said that he and Miss
Canter will meet with Robert G.
Bernreuter, secretary of the Sen
ate, early today to discuss when
in the .order of business they will
present their request.
I The two main arguments which
[Klein said he would present in
[an attempt to convince the Sen
ate of the value of a longei vaca
tion are the deeply-ingrained tra
dition of Thanksgiving, and the
strong feeling of the students for
an opportunity to go home and
see their parents for the first
time in eight weeks.
In addition, 19 out of the 22
colleges and universities on
the four term system which he
has investigated have found a
weekend Thanksgiving vacation
more beneficial than a 24-hour
vacation, Klein said.
However, Klein said that in the
event that the Senate should turn
down their plea, they have tenta
tive plans for making a study of
how many students go home over
the one-day recess and how deeply
the feeling for thanksgiving•at
home is ingrained in students who
