some time next semester.)
• 8. The rights of students to en
gage freely in off.campus activi
ties, provided they do not claim
to represent the institution, exer
cising their rights as citizens of
community, state and nation.
9. The right to establish and
issue regular publications free of
any censorship or other pressure
aimed at controlling editorial
policy, with free selection and
removal of editorial staffs re
served solely to the organizations
sponsoring these publications.
W. The right to establish dem
ocratic student governments with
adequate democratic safeguards
against abuse of their powers.
Seek Changes
11. The right to petition
through proper channels for
changes in curriculum or profes
sors. (Here is another place where
we tan use a lot of help in finding
the methods to be used in getting
professors who teach the subjects
rather than those who do as little
as possible and flunk as many as
possible. .Student government
needs all the constructive help
available.)
12. The right of equal oppor
tunity to enjoy these rights with
out regard to race, color, national
origin, religious creed, or political
beliefs.
Now you say, “So that is the
Student BUI of Rights, now
what?” The purpose of Student
Government is to aid in the de
veloping the society of any edu
cational institution so that it may
better.
Aid Self-Education
1. Aid in the self-education of
each student through his student
government.
2. Awaken the student to his
rights, responsibilities and his
common interest with the rest of
the college or university commu
nity.
3. Coordinate all faculty and
student activities toward a com
mon goal.
Stbdeni Control Necessary
Control of the Student Society,
whether by administration or
student government, is exercised
not for its own sake, but only to
implement the desired transfor
mation of the whole society of
the respective institutions.
NSA Recommends
The NSA recommends that
courses be offered, either for
credit or audition, on the pur
poses, functions, and techniques
of Student Government. This type
of training is needed here. Do
YOU want it?
There is nothing more impor
tant than the relationship be- j
tween the Administration and the i
Student Government. Just what I
are the powers and the responsi
bilities of Student Government?
That often is the $64 question'
here at State. The recent farce o n I

was stated at the conven
tion Student Government is big
business and all agreements
should be in writing. It is very
easy to say that “It is the opinion
of several student leaders,” and
have it in print, but it is not so
©asy to find the students who
giave the opinion.
Apathy
Student apatihy seems to be
universal in nature. The commit

duct a study on how to remedy
this situation. This is not only
true of the individual student but
also of many student govern
ments. Don’t forget the govern

themselves we must embark on
a very extensive cooperative en
deavor. We must be willing to
cooperate with other schools
throughout the nation to ex
change ideas and information. We
must be unselfish in both time
and money. The student leaders
will have to make sacrifices in
vacation and studies, but unless
we, the students, take hold of the
problems that exist they will
grow and grow and we will have
seen democratic education slip
through our lives.
