PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Incorporation: Solution To Froth's Problems The Froth issue has been dragged through the mud for nearly three and one-half months. It is_ tired and worn'out following postponement after postponement. The basic principle of students' violent reactions against the ban ning of Froth has been lost in a barrage of trivialities. The Froth staff is on the spot. The University is on the spot. A stalemate exists and to break it will mean loss of face for either the students or the administration. It is imperative that all further efforts be directed toward the basic objective. As we see it, there is one channel left. This is the incorporation of Froth. We feel it is the best solution for it solves the major problems expressed by both students and administrators. Incorporation would place Froth directly under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania. It would sever Froth's legal ties with the University which have been deemed objectionable by both parties. It would demand 'responsibility from the Froth staff for they would be called upon to answer for every word they saw fit to print. The staff could no longer hide behind the massive protective fortress of the University. The University would no longer be implicated legally in the operation of the magazine. The University would no longer have to demand censorship to carry out a legal responsibility for the magazine's content. We have faith in the capability and intent of those,who are now E•eelang to have Froth chartered by the University. If these persons believe in their own capabilities, they must accept this challenge and grave responsibility. When this newspaper undertook state incorporation, it was at the request of an administration which sought to "fix" rel.7)cr:tbility where it belonged with those who actually ran the newspaper. We feel the same need exists with Froth and any other campus publication whose con tents might be judged controversial. According to S. Paul Mazza, State College lawyer, the incorporation process involves about 20 days and $lOO to $l5O, including legal fees. We feel this is a small price to pay for such a precious product freedom of expression within the bounds of good taste and the law. We feel that incorporation is the fairest solution to this problem for both Froth and this UniVersity. It presents mechanical problems. We have confidence In the maturity and intelligence of both the Frotli staff and those who oppose the regeneration Of the magazine and feel that these will be satisfactorily worked out.

'65 petition with a professional group of UM "college servants," com parable to the civil servants of our .federal government. - These groups can provide any services which students desire more easily and with less trouble than student government can. But this doesn't leave student government without a job to do. There still is a definite area- in -which student government can .function. The field of representing student opinion on campus events is wide, open. As elected repre sentatives of the students, the USG officers, particularly the USG preSident, and each USG Congressman have the authority to speak for the students on all matters. This type of representation can and should be a spontaneous thing. Student government representa tives are close to their fellow stir dents. There should be no time lag between student opinion and USG action. During most weeks there' are many issues on this campus in which students are vitally inter ested. 'These opinions carry little weight unless they are presented by a formal body representing the students. results of India-Mexico's resolu ' tion . concerning Cuba. The head line - staled "Model U.N.. Votes Down - - Arms Removal in Cuba," thus implying that the Assembly , supported the presence of Soviet offensive missiles in Cuba. This is not the' case. The defeat of this resolution was a ;result of the clause calling for the U.S. withdrawal from its naval \base at Guantanamo Bay within five years. Had time per mitted, I could_have introduced for a vote the UAR resolution, which passed by a .majority in committee, condemning the So viet Union for the presence of offensive missiles in Cuba.

This newspaper stated its be liefs on most of these issues in the "editorial opinion" column.' But it represented only the opinions of the Board of Editors. The Daily Collegian does not pretend to speak for the majority of the stu dents. Only a representative body such as a student government can do this. • I would suggest that pertinent topics for the USG to discuss this week would be the lingering Froth issue, the successes or failures of the Model United Nations, and the number of students on academia probation. It might also state the student disapproval of the final exam period, if this is the general opinion of the students. Working from this stated opin ion of the student body, I believe the administration wou l d be better able to plan its programs. In this. area, student government can do the students and the entire University a real service. Letters U.N. Officials Congratulated TO' THE EDITOR: I had the pleasure of representing the Re public of Peru in the recently concluded Model United Nations. My delegation came- from West Halls. A very special thanks to Ken neth Hershberger, president of the West Halls Council, goes to him from me for having given me the opportunity to represent the council at such a highly rated organization. My fellow delegates join me in expressing heartiest _ congratula flow to Carol Hoffman, David SPritzeri• and Robert Lefcourt, and all the other parfies ,. involved, for making such a well-organized and. thoroughly" valuable project. Aside from the obvious bene fits of learning' about the func tions of the United Nations, par liamentary procedure, and world problems, this project allowed students to come into direct con tact with people,from all back grounds. Many freign students, like myself, participated, thus en abling , foreigners and natives alike to become= acquainted with each others' cultures, societies and politics, in a completely rea listic way. This might be'the most important benefit of the project. My personal thanks go to my fellow delegates who made our participation possible. On the Cuban Committee, I would like to thank the delegates _from the United States, United Kingdom,- Israel and Sweden, for their close cooperation in achiev ing our goals.
