STATE COLLEGE NEWS,
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1954
Redefinition . . .
Article seven, section two, item (b) of the
State College Student Association Consti-
tution states that one of the duties of
Myskania shall be “In open court to try
individuals who are charged with having
violated a regulation. These individuals or
organizations shall be brought before Mys-
kania by the organization charged with
enforcing the regulation which has been
violated.” In the past, Myskania has not
taken full advantage of this duty, due
mainly ‘to lack of enforcement methods.
Tuesday evening, Myskania was ap-
proached by the college Administration
with a suggestion that would redefine this
latent duty of the judicial branch of our
government. The suggestion in brief would
entail the formation of an honor code
among our student body. Myskania would
act in its judiciary capacity with the co-
operation of the administration and campus
organizations. This redefinition of duties
would expand Myskania power to judge on
moral questions such as the examination
problem which arose last year and was
handled by both Myskania and the college
administration, The proposed honor court
would have the cooperation of the admin-
istration in the enforcement of penalties
ranging from limited use of the school Com-
mons to expulsion from college.
We consider this suggestion as a Beep
forward in the growth of our college. It
represents the opening of channels that
would lead to the maturation of student-
faculty and administration-faculty rela-
tions. However, several questions remain
unanswered in our minds: Does a body
such as Myskania have the right to infringe
upon individual freedoms such as the rights
now exercised by Judicial Board and Inter-
sorority Council? Would such an “honor
system” lead to more mature behavior on
the part of the students or would it lead to
a rebellion against an omnipotent, ubiqui-
tous authority?
A straw vote at the Tuesday evening
meeting brought a unanimous decision
from Myskania that revealed their interest
and approval of the suggestion.
All-College Revue . . .
A motion was made in Student Council
to abandon plans for this year's proposed
All-College Revue. The motion was passed
without one word of discussion, The scant
discussion preceding the motion indicated
that the idea for a Revue next year is still
on the agenda. The reason for not con-
tinuing plans for this year’s revue was lack
of student interest.
We have no guarantee that our student
body will come forth with a new spurt of
enthusiasm come next September.
Remembering the lengthy and verbose
debates that preceded the abandonment of
Big-4’s, we find it incongruous to see the
results of those debates being cast aside
without one word of discussion, What HBP
pened to all the ‘school spirit” that was
be the result of ACR? Is it just that debat-
ers aren't directors, or are we simply hear-
ers of the word?

solely the desire to discontinue

RESURGAM
With the new semester well upon us, we, the above
signed procrastinators, have dug up all the old reso-
lutions designed to keep us from neglecting everything
until Mid-Sem time. We don’t really think that will
work for us, but you might try them yourself. These
resolutions run something like this: I will do all
assignments on time; if a term paper is due on the
twenty-fourth, I will not start it on the twenty-third;
I will get eight hours sleep, three balanced meals, and
fifteen minutes of vigorous physical activity every day.
We do resolve, however, to make this column the best
we can, stating our opinions on current problems.
Perhaps we'll even buy a dictionary to keep up the
learned tradition of the column,
WELCOME
We noted a number of new faces around this week-
a warm welcome to our new frosh, transfer:
and those who have returned to the fold.
R.LP.
Wednesday night's Student Council meeting saw one
of the saddest manifestations of Student Association
apathy in recent years, A disgusted representative
from the All-College Revue told the meeting that all
attempts to find volunteers to direct the Revue had
failed. Council members were able to produce no
ideas for the salvation of the show except to suggest
that faculty members be approached to help. ‘This
last idea, of course, was completely out of the question,
so Council voted to cancel the Revue this year, That
apparently, is that. Obviously the committee and
Student Council (except, perhaps the absent repre-
sentatives) are not to blame. The blame rests squarely
on the apathy of the student body as a whole. Most
of us seem perfectly willing to watch someone else
work, but this marks the limit of our interest and
work, This applies not only to All-College Revue, but
to the other extra-curricular activities as well, If we
could feel that the extra time were spent on studies,
we would not complain. That, of course, is obviously
not the case, There has been no great rise in the
scholastic performance. In the past, the Junior class
has always contributed the leadership for student ac-
Uvities, The Juniors, after all, have the benefit ot
two years of college experience while they don't have
to meet the heavy responsibilities of the Seniors, We
can't help feeling that this spirit. of leadership 1
lacking, In the present Junior class, Meanwhile, we
have no major student production this year, ‘This i

TRAGEDY
It is to be expected that m time will bring a
certain amount of emotional str and strain, How-
ever, we were sorry to hear that the strain of the last
exam period seemed to cause such a large number ol
drop-outs, particularly among freshmen, before it evens
arrived. We are not sure, frankly, where the solution
to this problem lies, Certainly we don't advocate a
lowering of the academic standards. It would seem,
that people who are having difficulty should
! Lo get experienced guidance somewh
college. Often, a great deal of help can be
upperelassmen, but many freshmen do not
close enough contact with anyone but other fres
to make this help possible, This points up the dinger
inherent in having so many all-freshmen dormitorie:
Yet these conditions have existed in the past without
these tragic results, We do not think that someone
should hold the hand of ewch frosh to guide him on
the path of scholarship, but neither do we like to
such a large part of the new class give up in despi
We h become quite concerned with this matter, and

Committee Reveals Lack

In A Letter To Council
In Student Council this week
Frederick Crumb ‘54, chairman of
the All-College Revue Committee
presented a letter reporting on the
Revue, which was scheduled to be
presented April 2 and 3.
The letter revealed that only two
tentative scripts had been submit-
tec for consideration before the
deadline date, January 8, and one
was turned in a week later,
The committee stated that two
people had been appointed to act
as director, but had declined the
position for various reasons, The
members of the commnittee canvas-
sed everybody who could be con-
sidered but found no one who was
able and willing. In view of this
fact, Crumb requested Student
Council to cancel the Revue,
Robert Betscha '56 suggested that
one of the faculty members in the
English department be requested
to help. This idea was turned down
by members of Student Council
who argued that such productions
always have been and will continue
to be student undertakings,
Robert Coan ‘55 moved that
Council abandon all plans for the
All-College Revue this year, There
was no discussion following this
motion which was passed py a vote
of 9.3,
Crumb suggested that the mates

also suggested that Council start

The Government Revision Com-
mittee, headed by Kathleen Ander-

an unsuccessful meeting Friday.
There was a great deal of discus-
sion on the number of representa-
tives deemed practical and yet
democratic, to be elected to the
legislature. A debate on ‘Thomas
Dixon's motion that the number be
set at fifty followed. Some mem-
bers of the committee felt that
fifty was too small a number to
represent the entire student body
Dixon's plan defeated and oth-
cr possibilities were considered.
Marilyn Spegele ‘55 then moved
that the legislative body _ should
not exceed 100 members. Frances
Allen ‘54 seconded it and the mo.
tion was passed. How and when the
legislators would be elected was
discussed. Dixon ‘35 moved that a
constitutional test be given to all
those nominated to the legislature
similar to the tests now given. Sar-
ah Jan Duffy ‘57 seconded it and
the motion was passed unanimous-
ly. Sylvia Semmler ‘54, former
President of Election Commission,
advised the committee as wo

The following suggestions — were
made: ‘Three Junior members, in-
