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-

dent serves as the presiding of
ficer.
"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.

Bowles Accepts New Post
WASH INGTON (A)—The
White House announced yes
terday that Chester Bowles
has accepted a new and im
portant diplomatic post espe
cially tailored for him.
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

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.
"The players have. missed too many classes already," Engle
