Hall, captain Jim Smith, Engle, Buddy Terris Foianini, McKinley Write New Constitutional Draft Changing SGA to USG Dennis Foianini, SGA president, last night announced the completion of a new constitutional draft which changes the name of the organization from Student Government Associa tion (SGA) to Undergraduate Student Government (USG). The constitution, written by Foianini with the advice of David McKinley, associate dean of busi ness administration, will be pre sented to the interim government for consideration at 6:30 tonight in the Hetzel Union building. If the proposed draft is approved by the interim government, it will 'be reviewed by the Univer sity Senate' Committee on Stu dent Affairs and Sub-committee on Organization Control Thurs day. "We changed the name of SGA to USG because the latter states more precisely our purposes. The change in name is also representa tive of the break with the past which we hope to achieve," Voianini said. The legislative body of SGA, presently called Assembly, has also been renamed in the new draft as the student Senate. "We felt that Senate is a more respectful term and more ap propriate for the new organiza tion," Foianini said. The new draft, a much con densed contrast to the consti tution proposed earlier this fall, incorporates "certain b a sic changes" in the organization of student government. It calls for a "Speaker" to be elected by the student Senate to preside over all of its meetings. At present. the SGA vice nresi- 3 .. e . 8 t: k 6 43 4 tlt . pl.

"This change will insure a com plete separation of powers in the I new government," Foianini said. It calls for a Supreme Court, the only judicial body specified by the constitution, consisting of five judges to be appointed by the USG president with the approval of the student senate. Previously, Supreme Court members were ex-officio, sitting by elected positions in another organization. It calls for the Supreme Court judges to serve terms of one or two years, as specified in the ap pointment. "This is to insure overlap in the terms of judges so that there will never be a completely in experienced court," Foianini said. The draft also states that the Supreme Court shall have judicial power senior to any other stu dent court or tribunal and shall rule on all constitutional cases and any appeals from the lower courts.

The announcement ended re ports that Bowles had decided to quit after being replaced as No. 2 man in the State Department. President Kennedy, who made a series of major changes in the White House - State Department foreign policy command over the weekend, called Bowles in for a talk yesterday afternoon. The President's press secre tary, Pierre Salinger, then an nounced Bowles had accepted appointment as Kennedy's "spe cial representative and advisor on African, Asian, and Latin- American affairs with particular emphasis on the problems of Lions Accept Bid to Face Georgia Tech Dec. 30 For the-third year in a row Penn State is going to a posh season bowl, but this time the Lions may get a suntan along with the customary bumps and bruises. Athletic Director Ernest B. McCoy announced last night that State had accepted a bid to play Georgia Tech in the Gator Bowl at Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 30. Slate was the host learn in the Liberty Bowl the past two years, defeating Alabama 7-0 in 1959 and Oregon 41-12 last year. The team and coaching staff met with President Eric A. Walker and McCoy at the Nittany Lion Inn last night to vote on the bid. Before the vote McCoy ruled out the possibility of accepting an invitation to the Gotham Bowl because he said the game would conflict with final exams. Tne Gotham Bowl is scheduled for the Polo Grounds in New York City Dec. 9. "It's a real challenge to play a team of Georgia Tech's caliber," Engle said after the meeting. "I just hope we can pick up where we left off after the Pitt game. If we do the fans will see a whale of a football game." Engle said that it's unlikely practice will resume until after final • exams are over Dec. 7. The bid came on the heels of a 47-26 rout of Pitt Saturday. While State was in the process of running up its biggest score against the Panthers since 1903, unheralded Virginia scored a shocking upset over Maryland, which had been extended a Gator Bowl bid pending a win against the Cavaliers. Jim Tarman, Penn State's sports publicity director, received a phone call from Gator Bowl promoter George Olsen in the press box during the second half of Saturday's game. Tarman arranged for McCoy to call Olsen after the game and the Lions were extended a "feeler" at this time. "Feelers" are usually issued before outright bids to determine just how interested a team is. The decision to go South smashed the plans of the Gotham Bowl, which was counting heavily on State to help get it off the ground this year. The Gotham began courting State after the 34-14 defeat of Holy Cross two weeks ago. Bill Stein, chairman of the selection committee, was . in the pressbox Saturday, and immediately after the game he issued a bid to McCoy. Along with the bid he offered R money-in-the-bank guarantee of $75,000, an NBC-TV contract (on the condition that State would accept), and either Kansas or Missouri as an opponent. -- But Rip Engle and other members of the coaching staff were adverse to the offer because the game would follow on the heels of final exams.

Bowles, who has held the title of undersecretary of state, will undertake special missions for the Preside . nt in these areas, Salinger said. "The President is delighted to have Mr. Bowles devoting his full time and attention to those new and greater responsibilities in an area he considers second to none in importance," Salinger added. Salinger said Bowles will re port directly to Kennedy and to Secretary of State Dean Busk on "long-range planning and policy in this area and on the improvement of our opera tion and representation in the countries involved." Bowles will hold a rank of ambassador but Salinger de scribed the job as a brand-new one and not comparable to the roving ambassadorship formerly CHESTER BOWLES held by W.
