Weather Forecast: Clear, Very Cold VOL. 64 No. 73 Congress Scores Collegian Policy The resignation of four members of the Board of Editors from The Daily Collegian became a major topic of debate at last night's Undergraduate Student Government meeting. A resolution that "George Jackson (USG president) recommend to the Board of Directors of Collegian Inc., that The Daily Collegian report the occurrence of the resignation of four former edi tors; and maintain an un biased, fair and complete re porting policy in these and similar matters in the future" was overwhelmingly approved by a 21-8 vote. Morabito Report The resolution, sponsored by Carl Thormeyer (East), Jef frey Roberts (Pollock) and Michael Stoll (fraternity), grew out of an officer's report by Donald Morabito, USG vice president Morabito said that announce ment of the resignations, which had not been made pub lic record by The Collegian, was important to the student body. Charles Reilly, USG treas urer and chairman' of the Interclass Budget committee, reported that the newspaper receives approximately half its yearly income from an alloca tion of student fees. The paper received $36,200 from Associated Student Ac tivities funds this year. He added that, for this rea son, Collegian affairs are "the business of the student body" and the fact (of the resigna tions) "should have been made known to them." 'lnternal Affair' David Bolbach, Daily Colle gian editor, told Congress that the resignations of four of the 11-man editorial board were an "internal affair of the Col legian" and should be handled by the newspaper itself. In his report, Morabito told Congress only that four edi tors, because of a "philosophi cal conflict" with the editor, had resigned and that Colle gian had not reported it. When asked by Thormeyer to elaborate on the resigna tions, Bolbach told Congress that "this is not USG's busi ness." 'Philosophical Disagreement' After the meeting, Bolbach said the four former members of his staff—Winnie Boyle and Rochelle Michaels, editorial editors, Melvin Axilbund, city editor, and Joan Hartman, news and features editor— resigned Jan. 28 over a "dis agreement in philosophy." During discussion at the meeting, on e congressman commented that if the mem bers of USG's executive board had resigned, the story would * * * USG Committee Suggests Elections Code Revisions Numerous changes and additions to the Undergraduate Student Government elections code have been recommended by the USG Elections Code Revision corn- mittee Recommendations will supplement those of a similar meeting held last week and of the final meeting planned for this Sunday.

Congress passed a resolution recommending to Collegian, Inc., publisher of The Daily Collegian, that The Daily Collegian report the occurrence of the resignation of four former members of the Board of Editors and that it maintain "unbiased, fair and complete reporting policy in these and similar matters in the future" The matter which prompted Congress to pass the resolution—the resignation of four members of the Board of Editors —is not, contrary to the opinion of some Congressmen, one of concern to USG. The resignations were not reported in this newspaper because they are entirely an internal matter of concern only to the Board of Editors. They have not affected, nor will they affect, the operation of this newspaper in any way. The comparison between resignations of mem bers of the Board of Editors and USG Congress men or executives is asinine. Members of USG are elected by the student body. They represent the students and are re- (Continued on page two) cz";4 o^, have been prominently fea tured in the newspaper. Tony Fogho, Collegian city editor, affirmed this, but added that the "executive is elected, and we (the editors) are ap pointed by the editor. We are responsible solely to him." Bolbach, confirming Foglio's statement, said that he dele gates responsibility to his edi tors, who are responsible to him. He, in turn, is "respon sible only to Collegian, 1nc.," 1 governing board of the news-,I paper.

Changes Recommended Changes recommended in the code are that: •A student may sign as many petitions for independent candi dates as the number of avail able seats in the area. The code presently allows signing of only one petition. •Each party must have an official representative who will meet with elections commission ers. This recommendation will allow a party to choose officers any way it wishes, instead of re quiring election of a chairman. •The party representative will be responsible for submit ting pictures, transcripts and list of activities from all candi dates at a time designed by the elections commission.

As a member of Collegian, Inc., "Jackson could have called a special meeting of the board (of directors) by collect ing the signatures of five mem bers. However, no special meeting was called," Bolbach said. Jackson said he will bring the resolution to the board as a report of Congress' opinion.

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 12, 1964 NO RESPONSE TO BOCME CONTEST; DEADLINE SAT. The Board of Collegian Male Editors' (BOCME) in vitation to campus beauties to come forth has met with an unprecedented response. No entries had been re ceived by late yesterday evening. With the deadline only four days away, no coeds have yet submitted the necessary photograph need ed to help BOCME members choose the loveliest coed on campus. Saturday is the final day for entries. Male students may also enter the coed they feel is most qualified for the award. Photographs (5x7 or Bxlo glossy prints or mat fin ishes) of coeds should be brought to The Daily Col legian office, basement of Sackett. Five finalists will be announced Tuesday, and the wi n n'e r will be an nounced next Wednesday. Delegates Name Theta Miss Panhel Dorothea Gerber, Kappa Alpha Theta delegate, was elected Miss Panhel last night at the regular meeting of the Panhellenic Council. Each year a representative is elected on the basis of out standing contribution to the council. Miss Gerber will be honored' at a workshop on Sunday. Lynn Crawford, Alpha Chit Omega, was previously ap pointed to look into the con troversy over the present elec-' tion system, under which a sorority has a delegate for president of the Panhellenic Council only every 27 years. A proposal for reorganiza tion of the present system will be brought to a vote at the next meeting. Careful Revision Great emphasis is being placed on careful revision, so as to prevent any one group from monopolizing the control of the executive board, Miss Crawford's report said. In order to avoid complica tions with the individual so rorities holding elections at different times during the year, a motion was passed to seat Panhellenic delegates at the beginning of each term. Under this system, a parlia mentary instruction session will be held at each interval for the new representatives. Open Bids In other Panhel business, open bidding closed Monday with only three of the 24 sororities which participated in open rush having filled their quotas.

He charged that Americans backing a war against Communist rebels in neighboring South Viet Nam plan ned and "are responsible for South Vietnamese air attacks on Cambodians" in the frontier area. He declared the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency tried to instigate a coup against him in 1959. Similar accusations—denied by the United States—accompanied Sihanouk's decision to reject continued American aid of $3O milion yearly,. a mutual withdrawal of diplomatic personnel and a near break in relations last fall. "We want an early Geneva conference for neutralization, of Cambodia," Sihanouk said.) Britain, which is trying tol arrange such a conference 'says 'You must be patient.' How can we be patient when' my people are being killed? "For you Westerners, five Cambodians killed are like killing five monkeys or five tigers. We value human lives." 'Communist Respect' "We want to remain Cam bodians, but Americans won't let us live in peace. Our diffi culties were not created by Asians but by foreigners and their satellites. The Commu nists respect us," Sihanouk said. Sihanouk lashed out during an informal meeting with for eign correspondents after ac companying President Diosda do Macapagal of the Philip pines and Prime Minister Ab dul Rahman of Malaysia to Siem Reap for a continuance of their two-nation summit conference on the Malaysian crisis. Official sources said three weeks ago the United States had accepted a Philippine pro posal to settle the dispute be tween it and Cambodia. Maca pagal acted as mediator. It had been expected that Cambodia would announce it was ready to implement the proposal, but Sihanouk's remarks made that seem unlikely Island Harmony Sihanouk said meetings of the two leaders produced "a much better understanding be tween Malaysia and the Phil ippines," which have been di vided by an old Philippine claim to the Malaysian state of Sabah-North Borneo. "The door is now open to a satisfactory settlement," Si hanouk said. "A good step for ward has been made on the way to a tripartite summit." A tripartite summit would mean the attendance of Presi dent Sukarno of Indonesia. Su karno agreed to a cease-fire in Borneo but still vows to crush Malaysia on the ground that young federation of former British colonies preserves the British presence in Southeast Asia and threatens encircle ment of Indonesia.

Philadelphia itself had a four inch fall, which slowed vehicular traffic to a bumper-to-bumper crawl. In the suburban counties of Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Bucks it was worse. Phoe nixville reported seven inches: Quakertown six; Coatsvile and Pottstown five. Harrisburg recorded about anl I inch of new snow, but roads ' were generally clear there. Ten miles to the north there was no new snow. But to the south of the state capital, for example. Chambersburg had two inches. In the western mountains, Un iontown, and Bedford had sever inches.
