Spotlight Penn State
Fraternities have been holding the news spotlight at Penn State. In a controntation between administration and the Undergraduate Democratic Go¬ vernment, Tau Epsilon Phi received student government recognition of its Constitution which has allowed admission of two women students into its fraternity. Charles Lewis, Vice- President of Student Affairs had requested the national organ¬ ization to drop Penn State's chapter of TEP because they were orginally chartered as an all male organization.
The U.D.G. Supreme Court then overruled Lewis* request by declaring the frater lity's Constitution legal and granting its recognition. The question now becomes—Which recognition will be considered legal by the national organization—the admin- stration's or the U.D.G.'s? The Interfraternity Council will support the fraternity despite objections raised by the Univer¬ sity. Several other chapters of TEP have already admitted womiai including the chapters at M.I.T. and Hunter College. And in a move to enhance Penn State's dwindling fraternity membership, Melvyn Klein, a member of the dean of students staff and Interfraternity Council advisor,    presented   a   proposal

tl the IFC which may change the format of present rush and pledging policies of fraternities at the University. The proposal which was endorsed by IFC may be accepted whole or in part at the discretion of each individual fraternity.
The   goals   of   the   program include reduction of   distinction between       associate       members (pledges)    and    brothers,    elim¬ ination   of   degrading   activities, reduction  of associate  member¬ ship (pledging)  to eight weeks, focus on the  individual  instead of the  associate members  as  a class,     and     measures     which would  cut  red  tape   in rushing, such    as    elimination   of   grade and   term   requirements,   and   a year    round    rush,    this    would allow first term freshmen to get to  know  the   fraternities  before they   are   affected   by   the  anti- fraternity   feeling   of   residence hall students.
In an editorial in Penn State's The Daily Collegian supporting fraternity adoption of the ¦ proposal^ the argument was made the "College men are certainly mature enough to inter¬ act in a meaningful way with others in a situation devoid of of phony, superimposed super¬ iority and inferiority. Those (fraternities) that do not (accept these proposals) may dwindle and die, and it is doubtful that many will mourn the loss.'
Several have stated they wil! not.
student Exchange Program Planned  With  Nottingham  College
LOCK HAVEN - Plans for a student exchange grogram be¬ tween Lock Haven State Col¬ lege and Nottingham College of Enucation in England are being worked out this week by Dr. Francis N. Hamblin, presi¬ dent of LHS, and Mr. Kenneth A. Baird, the principle of Not¬ tingham College who has been visiting the LHS students, fa- cutty, and administrators since Monday.
On Monday, Baird met with with Miss Lydia Gross, director of elementary education; Dr. Francis Colabrese, director of secondary education; and Dr. Irene Russell, dean of teacher education, to make preliminary plans for the one-to-one ex¬ change next year of LHS stu¬ dents with Nottingham College students.
Present plans are for each student to pay his own fees at his own college, and then swap place's with his counterpart. Approximately 15 students will exchange places, each group to be    accompanied    by    a    faculty
supervisor.
Throughout the week, Baird has been discussing the English educational system with student and faculty groups while sitting in on LHS teacher training ses¬ sions as an observer.
Nottingham College is the EngUsh   equivalent     of  a   state
pointed out, not all graduates chose to go into the teaching profession.- Also, he said, uni¬ versity graduates who wish to become teachers may attend Not¬ tingham for a one-year program in teacher training. Nottingham is considered a large school by English standards, with an en¬ rollment of 750 women and 500 men.
The   value   of a  teacher  ex¬ change,   Baird   said,   is   the   op¬ portunity  each student will have of seeing the  way  people reaaly live  in  another  country.  The  dif- ficluties  will  be  working out  the academis and financial problems. England   uses   a   tutorial   sy¬ stem,   Willi   exams   given   at   the end    of    the    four-year    program instead    of    credit    hours    being awarded  for  each course  passed as   in  the  United  States.  Finan¬ cially,    the    English    student    is charged according to his parents' ability to pay, with poor families paying   nothing   and   wealthy   fa¬ milies paying full costs.
On Friday, President and Mrs. Hamblin held a reception in Baird's honor from 5 to 7 p.m. in the president's home. At¬ tending were members of the col¬ lege's board of trustees, the president's cabinet, and faculty who are working with the ex¬ change program.
Baird will return to England by plane from Williamsport next Thursday.

Editorial
VOTE TODAY!
GET INVOLVED! MAKE YOURSELF HEARD! BE AN AC¬ TIVE PART OF YOUR COMMU¬ NITY! These have all been said many times by many students on the Lock Haven State Col¬ lege campus. However, saying these words of wisdom is dif¬ ferent than putting them into action.
Today, elections for your student government are being held. If you don't vote then you have no right to complain later that your     SCC    is    ineffective.
In the past, one of the pri¬ mary reasons SCC has not been effective as it could and should be is because SCC did not re¬ present a majority of the stu¬ dents' views. Now is the chance for more student participation in yoi^r government. It is up to you as an individual to make something of Student Government at LHS.
If you don't care - who will? Election centers are located in Bentley Hall Lounge and the PUB. So - GET OUT and VOTE!
