r Opinion USG Ignores Constitutional Intent The USG Congress last night flagrantly and knowingly violated the intent of its own constitu- A three-part, by-laws amendment which called for congressmen to hold weekly office hours in their areas, .attend meetings of representative bodies in their areas, and chair major USG committees was presented for consideration. The constitution requires that by-laws amend ments receive separate readings at two regular meetings before a final vote is taken. Debate on the proposahmay occur at either or both readings. During last night’s discussion oft the bill, USG President; George Jackson moved to delete that section-which required the congressmen to chair committees This, in essence, was calling for a vote on one section of the bill—in direct defiance of the intent of the constitution. Regardless of Jackson’s opinion of the worth of the measure, he should have, as president of stu dent government, shown more respect for the ideals of an organization he has been chosen to lead. Neither did the Congress display full aware ness of its responsibility in approving the amend ment. They could easily have expressed discontent with Jackson’s move by defeating the amendment. Instead, Congress approved the deletion be cause of obvious opposition to what the section y NOB<W luces \ ME...EVERYBODY j V HATES MEly WELL, CHARLIE BROWN, IF ‘THE WHOLE WORLD EVER A6AIMST YOU, I'D LIKE TO HAVE , YOU KNOW HOW I'LL FEEL...

In preserving this cumber some conglomeration of laws and controls, Pennsylvanians have .assured .themselves of higher taxes, less efficient gov ernment, and a more backward state than they would have had under a more flexible constitu tion. In Philadelphia, where voters are supposedly controlled by a large city machine, the refer endum was approved by an almost 2 to 1 margin.

Some say that most of the courses re quired are valueless, that ex ams for' these subjects test skill of cramming rather than knowledge. Some of these dissenters, however, qualify their state ments by adding that Penn State provides an excellent social education. Of course there are other collegiate malcontents who deny even the worth of Penn State social life. (Among the latter group are coeds who came for their MRS degrees and haven't been able to get even a Bachelor). What, then, ask these dis illusioned children of the Nit tany Lion, have they gained from their terms of toil at the University? One has only to open his ears to realize that Penn State has stimulated the de velopment of one skill which will not doubt prove of infi nite value in later life—com plaining. There is a boundless sup ply of subjects for student gripes: eight o’clocks, mono tone lecturers, beef stew for lunch in the dining halls, the new LCB law, women’s hours, one’ own failing health, The Daily Collegian, Greeks, by joel myers reflects the vigor of the cam paign and the education of the people. In Centre County, where a strong pro-convention campaign was waged, the ref erendum was approved by a wide margin. But, in most of the rural areas where conservative strength is high and communi cation is relatively poor the constitution was defeated. If conservatives who opposed the convention had been famil iar- with the issues involved they would have undoubtedly approved the referendum. A new constitution would allow the state government to meet its problems and responsibili ties and thereby retard the growing power of the federal government.

Thai is certainly, disregarding the con stitutional safeguard requiring two readings of a by-laws amendment so thai serious consideration may be given, the measure. Later in the evening, Congress finally realized the evils of parliamentary trickery'and defeated a similar attempt to delete another section of the bill. But, during debate on the first deletion; these evils had been well stated by several congressmen and members of the gallery. There is no excuse for the irresponsibility shown in proposing this deletion and the affirma tive vote which followed. ( *' * * USG can, at least,' be commended for support ing passage of the non-preferred appropriations bill by the state legislature. Now, letters indicating this support should be sent to all state officials concerned with the bill, including Gov. William W. Scranton. For if is Scranton who must bring up the ques tion of the non-preferred appropriations at the special reapportionment session scheduled for Tues day before it can be voted upon. Cases such as this one, where the state and the University are involved, should be a constant area of concern for USG. And, any action on such cases should not be taken at the last minute, as it was this time. GDl’s, the health center and on and on. During the past couple ot weeks the favorite topic of belly-aching, naturally, has been midterms. Students of both sexes, from frosh to super-seniors, from home ec to chem eng,.— majors, h a been striv to outdo ei other in evi ing the pity their f e 11 1 students a professors.

In one of the courses she was at a terrible disadvantage because every one else in her class were upperclassmen and, therefore, ever so much more intelli gent than she. Worse yet, in the second subject all but this honest, misfortuned, child had ob tained a copy of the exam questions! An unhappy male student, however, suffered almost worse maladies. I listened to his story with more awe than sympathy, however, for six midterms is really quite an accomplishment for one who is carrying only nine credits. Another downtrodden group of students was seen work ing diligently on a commit tee project. According to their woeful cries, a certain profes sor seemed to think his course is the only one his students are carrying this term. Letters Soph Discusses Goldwater TO THE EDITOR: The Daily Collegian of „ last Tuesday quotes author Louis Lomax as saying, “There’s something about a country than can pro duce a Birmingham, a Missis sippi or a Goldwater that is Mail Service Hit by Frosh TO THE EDITOR: The inef ficiency of the method of de livering mail to the Univer sity students in the Nittany area has reached new heights of incompetence. As the method is today, Nittany residents who don’t have mailboxes are required to pick up their mail at the desk. Since half of the men do not have mailboxes, this creates usually a 10-minute wait in line for your mail at lunchtime. What really makes this system ineffective is that not all the mail intended for a person ever gets to him. There are three letters that I know of written to me in ihe past two weeks which I have not received. One of them, ex tremely important, contained a $5 check from home. I don’t know how many more students have the same problem, but it is time ’that something be done about the situation. There is little won der in my, mind why they call the Nittany area “second class!” —Gene Pauli, '67 Senior Requests End To 'Cowards' Stories TO THE EDITOR: Being a dedicated sports fan, I never miss reading the sports sec tion of this paper. I have noted in the past few weeks that this paper has had a running ac count of the trials and tribula- ' tions of the Collegian Cowards. I feel that these articles are of no newsworthy value, and I kindly request that these be, eliminated from the paper. —Robert Snyder, ’64 Finally, there is the case of a coed with not only mid terms to worry about, but also a term paper and a book report. To make matters worse, she went and lost the book jacket! Perhaps the saddest aspect of all this trouble and tribu lation is that no one listens. If you’ve had only four hours of sleep the night before, the person to whom you’re talk ing inevitably has had only three hours of sleep in the past two nights. If you have three midterms this week, he slept through one. this morning, has two this afternoon, has a paper due tomorrow and the neces sary reference material has been heisted from Pattee. This brings 'fo our afien iion the people who deserve the pity, ihe people who really fake Ihe brunt of all these miseries the students' par ents. Most students by now rea lize that their complaints make little if any impression on their - stoical long-suffer ing classmates. Consequently, they must seek sympathy from the only people who have any to give them. Some of the resulting let ters home are such master pieces of journalistic endea vor that they make the Greek tragedies look like the writ ing of Max Schulman. Well, so much for the stu dent art of complaining. I don’t really have any time to waste, with all these mid terms and papers coming up. Besides, I want to get a let ter written before the after noon mail pickup. canerous, that makes minds distorted.” Does Mr. Lomax really mean what he is implying about Sen. Goldwater and the civil rights issue? If he does, then he had better do a little reading up on Sen. Goldwater’s goals and achievements (integration of the Arizonia Air National Guard, for example) to remedy his manifest ignorance. Sen. Goldwater has noted that school integration is a matter left to the states and not to the federal government by the tenth ammendment of the constitution, Because of this, he is opposed to the Supreme Court decision on the grounds that it violates the constitution, not because it permits Negro children to at tend f.o r m e r 1 y segregated schools. It. will be interesting to see how often the smear “racist” will be directed toward him be fore the coming year is fin ished. —Robert Loughlin, ’66 Senior Rhymes Hat Societies TO THE EDITOR: Oh Dear and Wonderful Penn.
