Personnel Committee
Receives Criticism
(Editorial on page four)
All-University Cabinet's Personnel Interviewing Commit
ee received wide-spread criticism from two Cabinet members
Thursday night.
The barbs were hurled during the informal session wheci
.he entire system of Cabinet appointments was 'reviewed.
CPIC interviews applicants for
le majority of Cabinet appoint
ments, then makes recommenda-
ions to the governing body }Which
must be approved.
Association of Independent Men
'resident Lash Howes told Cabi
et every time he ran over the
appointments, he recognized each
lame. "It seems to me," he said,
that the same minority group
.omposes all the committees."
Few Indies Appointed •
In addition, Howes said very
ew independents were appointed,
,!though he has "a list with many
,amen of independents who are
nterested in doing student gov
rnment work. All you have to
lo is ask these people to work
—and they will."
Howes' statement brought forth
flurry of replies claiming that
tudents should have the initia
ive to approach student leaders
ind groups to ask for work.
Howes answered saying he did
.iot think that initiative should
he the major requirement for re
ceiving appointments. "There are
many people who are very cap
able," he said, "but who lack
initiative or are a little shy."
Activities Too Important
"It seems to me," Howes added,
"that another major requirement
is the list of activities after a
person's name. I think CPIC puts
too much emphasis on other work
activities when making appoint-
EMI
As proof, he ran down a list of
appointees showing the majority'
of people are already members
of Froth, Collegian, or some other:
student government body.
As a rebuttal, Katherine Dick
son, CPIC co-chairman, said the'
group did not take activities into,
consideration when
~ m aking ap
pointments.
Never Interviewed
Harry Martini, junior class
president, added another criti
cism to CPIC saying he was never
interviewed by the group before
being appointed to Traffic Court.
Robert Bahrenburg, All-Univer
sity president, explained that
there are too many appointments
for CPIC to interview every ap
plicant for every position.
To help stabilize the appoint
ment system, Bahrenburg added,
the job has been turned over to
the All-Univeisity vice president.
Previously, all appointments were
compiled by the president.
Cabinet then switched to a dis
cussion of other means of cir
culating information and stimu
lating interest in student govern
ment.
Ways to Spur Interest
In addition to a suggestion to
make more use of student coun
seling among freshman students
to spur interest, one member
named the Dean of Men's coffee
hours as a possible kickoff point
for explanatory sessions.
The dean of men sponsors cof
fee hours once a week to help
students get acquainted with his
staff and other students.

said. "All they ever do there :s
talk about the weather and their
schedules," he added.
"Well, what are the coffee
hours for?" a Cabinet member
questioned.
"To drink coffee" was Land's
reply.
Cabinet decided to tentatively
schedule a discussion of CPIC
during the session next week to
be devoted to a Student Encamp
ment report on student govern
ment.
