FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1 9 5 3 Statement O f Policy . . . Gamm&H-StaU* By C088ABOON anil WEBB Each week State College News prints one or more articles written for the most part by students of the college. We also print two regular columns, the Common-Stater and One On the Aisle. Both these columns are written by Seniors. Neither the articles nor the regular columns necessarily reflect the opinions of the News Board. This statement of policy is printed in every issue of the paper in our masthead on page two. Often the opinions of the Board are in direct opposition to those presented in the articles. INTERLUDE? Caught between two vacations, our mind turns to the nature of these respites. Could it be that some diabolical mind devised these false raisers of hope? It's quite possible to believe when we consider the plight of the student. He spends the two weeks before parole day to eager anticipation and then trudges his way home. What happens? If he does that paper that is coming due and neglects his potential rest period, he feels cheated; if on the other hand he does no academic work and then returns to find a mass of accumulated work waiting, there is the sensation of guilt created. May we suggest that Jenner et al undertake Investigation of this undermining feature of student well-being. 1 The News Board selects the students who will write the Common-Stater and the drama column for each semester. The other articles, which we call "guest columns," are written voluntarily. The Board compiles a list of possible writers and these people are asked if they are interested in writing such an article. Many other students volunteer to write about some issue concerning which they have definite opinions. Often we receive two or more articles each week. Our space limitations prevent us from printing all articles received. Under no circumstances is a guarantee of publication given by the Board concerning any article. WHO'S CHEATING WHOM? The criteria for publication or rejection are flexible. An article may be rejected because it is irrelevant to the purpose of the paper as stated in our constitution, badly written, in poor taste, contrary to fact and other variables depending upon space and time. Many articles are rejected each semester. This responsibility is usually in the hands of the copy editor. The News feels no ethical or journalistic responsibility to print articles that fail to meet the above criteria. The policy with letters written to the editor is slightly different. They are not exclusively written by students of the college. The style in which they are written Is not considered a preventative to their printing. The editor is the sole judge concerning their rejection for printing. Before publication, they must be signed in the presence of the editor to protect the paper from libel accusations. This statement of policy is in complete accord with the revised constitution of the News passed unanimously by Student Council earlier this semester. Trie Board took this unanimous decision as a vote of confidence from the elected leaders of Student Association in its revised policy. Changes In Government... With the presentation to SA of the motion to discontinue compulsory assemblies, Student Council appointed a committee called the "Representative Government Committee," made up of students interested in changing our present form of government. This committee is working along somewhat the same lines as the one formed last year. It has now taken upon itself to form two distinct committees, one to Investigate changes In our present governmental structure, the other to investigate a representative form of government. Only five of the committee members are working on the latter phase. With the vote on the compulsory assembly motion imminent, it seems that this committee is wasting valuable time In doing work In direct opposition to the purpose for which it was formed. In addition to the splitting up of the committee, at the last meeting, the chairman admitted a lack of familiarity with Robert's Rules of Order and proceeded to prove this statement by recognizing a speaker while another speaker had the floor, by refusing to recognize a point of Information, and by entertaining a motion to adjourn while a speaker held the floor. In reviewing the minutes of the meeting, it appears that not many Ideas pertaining to representative government were exchanged. We feel that this committee could change the future of student government at State very favorably, and that, like most of the organizations on campus, that It holds great potentiality for benefitting SA. Let us hope that the apathy and cynicism displayed at the last meeting will not make of this committee Just another feeble attempt at Improvement of our government, and leave us with no other concrete results than an addition to our ever-growing pile of dcadwood.

Pettit, will bring to life "one of the greater dramas of the elder world." In the preface to the popular translation of the play, we are reminded that, "Great art has no limits of locality or time. Its tidings are timeless, and Its messages are universal. The Trojan Women was first performed in 415 B.C., from a story of the siege of Troy which even then was ancient history But the pathos of It is as modern to us as It was to tho Tonight in Student Council a request was made by Music Council and Dramatics and Arts Council jointly for student organizations to be able to enforce the statement on Student Tax Tickets, which states that they are "valid only for the person whose name appears here." We think that we paid and have the right to go to the functions under Student Association and therefore if we don't intend to go, we have the right to give our ticket to someone who wants to and doesn't have the privilege. The logic is correct, but the outcome is financially painful to the whole Student Association. The organizations under the budget are supposed to turn over the receipts from such a function to surplus. These receipts are subtracted each year from the total budget and thereby reduce the budget as well as the amount each individual is taxed. Another point that should be mentioned is the fact that organizations are required to check people as they enter for their student tax ticket and charge those without. It would seem to us that two things could be lowred, one, our budget and two, the usual whistles when the price of the ticket is announced, if we'd be less generous with our tickets and If outsiders were forced to pay their share of the price of a basketball game, play, concert, dance or what have we!
