PAGt FOUR 1 Editorial Opinion Senate Action Hailed The second significant step toward a more democratic and more clearly-defined judicial system within a week was taken Tuesday when the University Senate dropped three ex officio members from, the student affairs com mittee the dean of men, the dean of women* and the USG vice president! ' ; i • | . The adoption of a new judicial code last week by the Senate Committee ion Student Affairs represented im portant progress on the road toward ja more equitable and less complex judicial system. This week's action Is another significant step along this road, although 11 may be less readily apparent, P L „The* student affairs committee has the power to investigate and advise the University Senate on needed legislation. Specifically, it may thoroughly survey the stu dent judicial system and recommend revision in structure and out-dated rules and regulations. The presence of the dean of mein and dean of women jon the committee may have prevented action in these ■ areas. As unofficial lobbyists, the deans were often .able to .propagate their particular opinions and retain their areas of jurisdiction.. . The replacement of. these two deans by faculty mem bers will allow the committee to Uke a more objective ▼lew of student affairs in general and the judicial system' in particular. We hail this Senate action as apother step in the long Journey toward judicial reform, j A Student-Operated.

PENNSYLVANIA ; HERBERT WITMER Business Manager Letters Insufficient Summer Term Activities Hit TO THE EDITOR: As pointed out in Miss Mehan’s article in Tuesday’s Collegian, one. of the basic functions, of the term system is to be able to handle more students and to use the University’s facilities through out the year. We agree that the summer term should be better attended, but we feel that the Adminis tration should provide an at mosphere of college IfVtjig during the term. The most obvious fault of the past Summer Term was the near qomplete lack of activi ties in which students could participate. For example, there were lew clubs in operation, no intercollegiate sports activi ties. were held, the t UBA was not in operation, and all stu dent publications were sus pended excepting The Sum mer Collegian (which was printed weekly). . Another point of contention is the fact that there was an insufficient selection of courses available. In our case alone Engineering Orientation' I, En gineering Graphics 10, and Air Force ROTC were some whicn were simply not offered. A glance at the Penn State calendar for the days of/ the summer term this year will re veal that there 'is nothing whatsoever scheduled in the way of Artist Series, student movies. Chapel services, sports events, or any major social event. The one day that those at tending the summer term this year can look forward to is the'4th of July, Independence Day —Robert ‘E.
