Weather— Clear and Colder VOL. 54, No. 107 Jesse Arnelle Lion Party Candidate Candidates Declare Cleanup Chief Issue By MIKE FEINSILBER and PEGGY McCLAIN Chief issue in this spring's election campaign is cleaning up campus politics, Jesse Arnelle and Lewis Wade, Lion and State Party candidates for All-University president, told a panel of eight Daily Collegian reporters Monday. Arnelle and Wade extempora their parties' platforms, patron age, th e fraternity-independent rotation agreement, the National Student Association„ a recent pro posal to All-University Cabinet concerning methods of appoint ments, and whether they would have time to fulfill their func tions as president, if elected. On patronage, Arnelle declared, "I don't believe in handing out `political plums' I won't make promises for votes." Wade said, "I haven't made any commitments and I don't intend to." Appointment Committees Both candidates agreed that if elected they would set up im partial committees to find the best qualified appointees. Asked whether they would have time to fulfill duties of All- University president, both can didates asserted they would. Arnelle said that if elected he would call cabinet meetings whenever he was on campus and could attend. He said he would delegate to others some presi dent's positions on groups other than cabinet, and he would pos sibly make use of the All-Uni versity vice president when he could not attend cabinet meetings. Arnelle said, "What good is having a vice president if we can't use him?" Wade indicated he would have sufficient time to fulfill his duties. Favor Defeated Amendment Both candidates favored the re cently defeated amendment pro posed to cabinet by Richard Kirschner, Liberal Arts Student Council president, which would have provided at least 2 weeks between the announcement of ap pointments and the final decision. At present, cabinet appointments generally are approved or de feated at the meeting at which they are announced. Wade, though, said, "A two week delay between the an nouncement of an appointment and the final decision on it would be unnecessary in some cases." 'Look Over' Appointments Arnelle said, "I feel cabinet should have time to look over appointments." The reporters questioned the candidates on their opinions about the $375 compensation they would receive as president and on the system in general of paying stu dent government office holders compensation. Wade said he didn't know the position carried compensation un til after he had been nominated. Arnelle said, "Money never en tered my mind when I was con sidering running. The president probably does do a lot of work for the money he gets."

He will replace Chester Bowles, former ambassador to India, who recently accepted a foreign as signment. Morse's topic will be "Needed: A Realignment of Political Par ties." Kent Forster, forum chairman, said Bowles notified him, he has canceled speaking engagements because he will be abroad this spring. Morse was elected to the Sen ate in 1944 and was reelected in 1950. He created a sensation when he withdrew from the Republican Party in 1952 but failed to join the Democratic Party. Because of his independent status he posed a problem of seating in the Sen ate chamber which is arranged for two party seating. He was finally permitted to keep his seat with his Republican colleagues. Morse Described as 'Maverick' Forster said Morse is described as a 'Maverick' or congressman who cannot be counted on to vote with the party on partisan issues. Morse is a former professor of speech at the Universities of Wis consin and Minnesota and former dean and professor of law at the University of Oregon. He was chairman of the Presi dent's Railway Emergency Board in 1941 and public member of the National War Labor Board from 1942 to 1944. Morse is a member of the Sen ate committee on public works and formerly served on the armed services committee. Spoke Here Before Forster said Morse spoke at the University shortly after World War 11. He described him as an active, lively speaker and said he is known as an avid horseman and rancher. Bowles is author of "Ambassa dor's Report," a recently publish ed description of his experiences in India. Other Community Forum speak ers this year have been General James Van Fleet, Charles Laugh ton, and Erwin D. Canham. Morse will be the last speaker for the year.
