f>AGf fOUS Editorial Opinion One Step Further? The Senior Class Advisory Board will recommend to All-University Cabinet tonight that five seats on Cabinet be made non-voting and that one seat be dropped. The board would make the presidents of Panhellenic Council, Leonides, Women’s Recreation Association and the Athletic Association, as well as the editor of this news paper, non-voting members. The president of the Board of Dramatics and Forensics would be dropped (why, we don't know, especially when the other five are kept as non-voting members). The board justifies the distinction between Leonides end the Association of Independent Men and Panhel and the Interfraternity Council (AIM and IFC would keep their votes) on the basis that AIM and IFC are regulatory groups. The same classification is given the Women's Student Government Association. The proposed makeup is better than the one now in use. And Cabinet should give it thorough consideration and study. It may be possible to get a better arrangement. The main reason for the proposed revision is to elimi nate some of the overlapping representation on Cabinet. This is good. Also, it is hoped that voting Cabinet members will be representative of large groups. This too is good. However, we hope that whether Cabinet approves - this plan or a similar one, or defeats it entirely, the study of reorganization of Cabinet will not end here. With the University growing in enrollment, it might be wise to study the posibilities of enlarging the size of the top student government organization. And including more students elected at-large by the student body would undoubtedly do much toward making Cabinet representa tive more of the views of the student body and less of one or two small cliques. Cabinet should not just approve this proposed makeup and let it drop there. Reason and Rotation The fraternity-independent rotation system for cam pus elections will brace itself as the target tonight of some mighty controversy by All-University Cabinet. The idea of tossing out the rotation system has been in the air since September and since then, in addition to the whispers of many campus groups, it has gained powerful support by both Lion and Campus parties and the All- University Elections Committee. It is doubtful that Cabinet will make a decision to night. In fact, as controversial as it is, the issue may be drawn out as long as was the question over compulsory ROTC. But it has one thing in common with the ROTC battle—it is a complicated and explosive question and the final decision will have far-reaching effects. Cabinet’s approach to the issue tonight will mean more than just the possible future of the affiliation-bound elected offices. It will determine to a great extent, because it is potentially one of the biggest controversies of the year, Cabinet's reputation as the highest student govern ing group. We hope that the approach Is intelligent, reasonable and supported by thorough thinking as well as considera tion of the opinions expressed by campus groups. The Daily Collegian is in favor of an open election system. We believe that there should be no discrimination in the requirements for student leaders. The best man should get the job. Period.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL Little Man on Campus by Dick BibUr t& SEEN W; HlM€>aF"« I'WgGOItWteE OFFICE Washington Beat Uncle Joes Record Topped by Hayden By Arthur Edson WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (/P) —This was a day of tri umph—and, in one sense, of humiliation—for that garru lous old institution, the U. S. Senate. For it paid tribute to Sen. Carl Hayden (D.-Ariz.), who started on his 47th year in Congress and thereby broke the record held previ ously by Rep. Joseph G. (Uncle Joe) Cannon of Illinois. Cannon served his 46 years in three separate hitches. Hay den has put in 15 years in the House and 31 in the Senate without a break. There hasn't been a day since. ■ Arizona became a stale, in' 1912, that Hayden hasn't been either its representative or its senator. The Senate, is proud ot the quality, maybe even of the quantity,- of its oratory. It delights in producing the pub lic man, whose frequent pro nouncements keep his name in the headlines, who flits grace fully and eagarly from the Senate floor to television and radio studios. Yet here is Hayden, who rarely talks and who, when he does, has a tendency to mum ble. But Hayden is no mere time server. Anycm# who talks with other senators - soon realizes thaf few are at esteemed as * Hayden. Anyone who watches ' lhe-Senate-in action—the word is used loosely soon under stands that tew ate as influen tial. The admiration is bipartisan. For the Democrats. Vice President Alben Barkley once said: "No more effective legis lator ever served in either house.” Barkley, like Hayden, served in both. For the Republicans, here’s Sen. Francis Case of South Da kota: “Some years ago a man THIS 16 TERRIFIC! ..s sgf THURSDAY; FEBRUARY 20. 1958 Hi<& fATHEK-" Hi 3 Gl£i~"} ffh MJ -" iaf gpestmtt —me maj pg flgop. said to me that he thought Carl Hayden knew more about the government'of the United States than did any other indi vidual. I have never been dis posed to take exception to that observation." How did Hayden get that way? Well, he says that when ha first came to. Congress he was told ho could be a show horse and run off with the headlines, but "If you want to gain lha respect of your colleagues, be a work horse." Rarely has any advice been so carefully followed. As. chairman of the Appro priations Committee. Hayden is in a wonderful spot for a work horse. Each agency of Oie government must justify its expenses to his committee. Each senator has a pet project, and since projects cost money, it’s nice to be on' Hayden's side. If this means power, and it does, it's interesting to watch how frugally Hayden uses it when he's presenting a bill to the Senate. - - Some senator will break in to argue its merits. Another will be hotly against it. Hay den, will let the two fight it out, often merely nodding from one to the other as they take turns slugging. It’s only when the vote is counted that you realize that what Hayden wanted he has got, without saying a word and without making an enemy. HOU) ABOUT JIHAT?
