Voice Opinions
Thursday night the Undergraduate Student Gov
ernment Congress changed its attire from coats and ties
to sweatshirts and dungarees to battle Barry Clemson's
eligibility for the USG presidency.
In the wake of the meeting, statements were issued
by the following participants:
Benjamin Novak, USG

Named
Debater
By JANA SMITH
Nancy Celli of Geneseo
State University of New York!
may not be elected President
of the United States, but she'
was voted "Gavel Girl" of the!
Joseph F. O'Brien Interstate
Debaters' Congress at the of
ficial banquet last night.
Four candidates presented;
after-d inner entertainment
speeches before the Congress;
on "If I Were President." The;
other women nominated by,l
debate committees were Sandy
Morris of Slippery Rock State!
College, Judy Raiter of Mc-
Keesport and Nancy Swensen
of Susquehanna University.
At the conclusion of the last;
speech, all present voted. '
According to Miss Celli,.
ever since Adam first suc-'
cumbed to the apple, women,
have been blaimed for the,
world's misery. Her comment,
"when in reality, it is the men,
who are the serpents," brought.
hisses and laughter from the
predominantly male audience.
Continuing to attack her
opponents she said, "Men can't
get along with women or with
other men." They quickly
form "formal bickering con
tests" and wave their atom ,
bombs as soon as they don't
get s their own ways.
No Progress
Because no peaceful prog-'
ress has been made, she. re
solved, "My solution is to let
the fair sex run the country."
Using our powers, we will
bring men to their senses by
confronting them with a big
ger crisis than they've ever
faced before."'
Miss Celli proposed that
Russian and American women'
take over the United States
and force all the men to reside
in Russia. She said she would
also censor the mass media by
putting only hairy legs in
Playboy, for example.
Nature's Course
"Then we sit back and let
nature take its course," she
said. Their slogan should be
come "united we stand, di
vided we fall. Soon we will
have a peace treaty in their
hands," Miss Celli concluded,
"and we shall have national
harmony as well as domestic,
peaceful coexistence."

resident And sponsor of the
resolution, said, "I think it
would make a farce out of
student government to allow
a non-student to run for an
office."
"Student government, is a
government by' the students
and if those other than stu
dents can run and hold office,
I think it's a shame."
"Should a person who is not
a student run, he will, I be
lieve, not be recognized by
the Administration and there
will not be, in effect, a stu
dent government president."
2 Oppositions
Congressman opposed'to the
bill used their arguments on
two major fronts:
Bruce Trotman, senior class
president, said "The issue
should not be determined here
(in Congress), but by the stu
dents voting in the spring elec
tions. It's their decision, not
ours."
David Stoddard, Men's Resi
dence Council president, said,
"I believe the 'ex post facto'
ruling applies here."
Ex post factor means a law
is not binding upon someone
who commits a deed before
the law is passed prohibiting
it.
"The ruling would be legal
and necessary after the spring
term election," Stoddard said.
"We cannot stop Clemson from
running because he has al
ready committed himself as a
candidate."
Opposing Idea
An opposing viewpoint was
expressed by Victor Hammel,
East Halls congressman.
"I feel that the issue is that
a non-student is attempting to
be a student leader and thus
making a farce of student gov
ernment," -he said. -PHowever.
I urge my fellow congressmen
to vote with their consciences'
and not with their political
motivations."
Campus Party chairman
Leslie Evans said, "The stu
dents should have the 'right
to elect their own candidates."
Smith Speaks Out
"I did not approve of the
manner in which the proceed
ings were handled on all
sides," said Jack Smith, fra-I
ternity Congressman.
"I can see both sides of the
issue," he continued. "Some
one who is not a student has
no right, and should not be
able, to run for USG office.
"But the issue is very hard
I to resolve, because it is almost
impossible to divorce Clemson
.from the resolution." If Con
gress passes the measure, it
ultimately may be the de
cision of the USG Supreme
Court to rule on the matter.

Eligibility Bill
Sparks ' Debate
By LAURIE DEVINE
At an emotion-packed midnight meeting of the Undergraduate Student Gov
ernment Congress Thursday night, USG President Benjamin Novak introduced a
surprise resolution which would, in effect, force presidential candidate Barry Clem
son to withdraw from the spring race.
Congress, after debating the issue for over two hours, could come to no decision
and voted for adjournment at 12:45 a.m.
Immediately after the assembly adjourned, Novak called a special session
of Congress for 7:30 p.m. Monday in 203 Hetzel Union Building.
Novak's bill reads, "All candidates for the USG executive, class offices and
USG Congress must be full-time
matriculated students of The
Pennsylvania State University."
The move came a little over a,
week after Barry Clemson, Mis- 1
sissippi civil rights worker, an
nounced his candidacy for the
post of USG president under the
Liberal-Campus Party banner.
Not Student
Clemson currently is not a full
time matriculated student here.'
He will not enroll at *the Univer
sity next term, but will be taking
three credits by correspondence
in Mississippi.
A student at the University
"on and off since 1959," Clemson
will matriculate here for the
next fall, winter and spring
terms.
He has already completed 13
terms on campus, but must
attend for three more in order
to graduate. His long tenure at
the University is explained by
the fact that he lost over 30
credits when switching majors.
The problem before the Con
gress became: Can Clemson
run?
Debate at 10:39
The debate began at approxi
mately 10:30 p.m., after a weary
Congress had taken action on 13
legislative bills.
Then USG President Novak
proposed his "matriculating stu
dent bill." He secured the vote
of all but one Congressman,
Bruce Trotman, to bring the
Issue to the flo'or."
According to the present USG
constitution, the only require
ment for a presidential candi
date is a 2.0 pervious term aver
age and a 2.2 all-University aver
age.
Following the proposal, tem
pers flared as campus politicians
waged a verbal battle for the
next two hours, and absent con
gressmen were summoned
from their beds to provide a
quorum on the issue.
Amendments Killed
Two amendments to the reso
lution were defeated.
Thomas Musemeci, junior
class president, offered an insert
to the bill which would put
the ruling into effect only at the
end of spring term. Thus Clem
son would not have been affected
by the bill in any way.
'James Caplan, town congress
man, proposed an amendment
that would renuire that USG
candidates be University stu
dents at some time before their
nomination.
Clemson Irrelevent
Throughout a major part of
the debate, Novak ruled all dis
cussions pertaining to Clemson
as "irrelevent."
However, congressmen per
sisted in calling the debate a
"political issue" and repeatedly
named Clemson. Every time
Clemson was brought into the
issue, the chair ruled the speaker
out of order.
Finally, a little after midnight,
Congress voted Clemson's can
didacy relevent in a roll-call
vote. Debate continued until Con
gressmen voted to adjourn,
leaving the issue to be deter
mined Monday night. '
was a "Trojan horse assuming
the form of a legtimate political
party."
Cited Hall
He further • cited Gus Hall,l
leader of the Communist Party
in the United States, as an ex
ample of the Communist Party's
dedication to the doctrine of
force and violence. Hall, Lewis
said, when asked if he was will
ing to fight for the establishment
of a Communist regime in this
country, replied, "Absolutely."
' This dedication Lewis explained,
has "alerted the Courts, the
Congress and the Executive."
HUAC, Lewis further explain
ed, uses certain criteria and
safety responsiblities, before it
subpoenas any person to appear
before the Committee to answer
charges of being a Communist.
First, it must have two . signed
statements accusing .a person of
being a active member in the
Communist Party, one, from a
person who is himself a known
' Communist, and the accused is
notified of this testimony.
Second Criteria
Secondly, the 'accused person

Still Useless?
A crafty political move initiated by Undergrad
uate Student Government President Benjamin Novak
Thursday night might well cause irreparable damage
to a promising student government at this University.
Novak's underhanded action is one of a scared
politician motivated by self-perpetuation. We urge
Congress to viciously defeat his resolution. This is
essential if student government is to ever assume a
respectable role in student affairs.
Novak's motives are transparently clear. His
carefully composed resolution to enable only "full
time matriculated students" to seek USG 'positions
is a slap in the face to USG presidential hopeful
Barry Clemson.
The issue of whether or not Clemson, University
student who is currently leading a civil rights drive
in Mississippi, is ineligible to run is not an issue to
be decided by USG at this time. The decision is the
student body's and students should be given the op
portunity to resolve it in the elections next term.
We do not necessarily support Clemson: we only
affirm his right to seek the office.
We do not question the merit of the resolution,
only the manner in which and the time at which it
was presented.
. The resolution is worthwhile and should be con
sidered by Congress under other circumstances. But
if Congress wishes to 'adopt it, it must be clearly
specified that it is not effective - until after the forth
coming USG elections.
Presented at this time, however, the resolution
might just as well bear the name of Barry Clemson
in its context.
Novak proposed the resolution at a time when
Clemson was over 1,000 miles away, crusading for
civil rights on the racial battlefields in Mississippi.
The original date for the USG meeting was one week
ago. Clemson was on campus at the time. Novak post-
