Editorial Opinion
Approved
All-University Cabinet last night approved some sound
basic principles for a new student government.
The Cabinet Reorganization committee’s entire re
port was approved without change, although over the
violent protests of some Cabinet members who objected
to all or parts of the report.
Nevertheless a few parts of the report came danger
ously close to a multilation that would have left scars for
years to come on a new student government.
One amendment would have made the Student Gov
ernment Association president the presiding officer of a
legislative assembly, instead of the vice president. This
proposal lost all too narrowly when All-University Vice
President Steven Garban, presiding at the time, broke a
tie vote
The proposed interchange of the president and vice
president in this respect would have interchanged much
of the function and importance of the two offices. It would
have destroyed a large segment of the “separation of
powers" idea which has been one of the guiding principles
or reorganization. And it would have made the vice presi
dent the spokesman for the executive branch in the
assembly and the president the spokesman everywhere
else.
The reorganization committee now must draw up a
constitution incorporating its ideas which have been ap
proved by Cabinet.
The reorganization committee now must draw up a
constitution incorporating its ideas which have been
approved by Cabinet.
Despite some strong opposition, it looks as if student
government soon will cast off its 1939-model Cabinet and
move into an era of expansion along with the rest of the
University,
For Profit or Service?
Despite two attempts on the part of the Larry Sharp
Week Committee, the Lions Den will not participate in
the Coffee Profits Day.
Albert E. Diem, vice president for business adminis
tration, waa twice visited by the students and twice
turned down their request that the Lion's Den turn over
Us profits from coffee sales on Friday. March 6. to the
Sharp fund.
Robert C. Proffitt, director of Food Service, in com
menting on the decision said it would be too costly for the
Lion’s Den to donate its profits to the Sharp fund. He said
the Lion’s Den is self-sustaining and its profits must be
used for maintenance and improvements.
The Lion’s Den operates, or should operate, as a
service of the University and not a profit-making function.
The downtown merchants operate purely for profit, yet
they are willing to donate a day’s profits on one item
(albeit a popular item) to the Sharp fund.
It is true the University has done much to aid this
and previous collections for Sharp. One administration
official is giving up much of his own time to serve as
adviser *o the drive.
But this is not enough. Since it was not, and still is
not, prepared to take financial responsibility for a student
Involved in a major classroom accident, the University
should neglect no opportunity to give all the aid it can to
a student drive to help the victim of such an accident.

Dulles' Illness
Points to Need
For 'Drive'
By ARTHUR EDSON
WASHINGTON (/P) The ill
ness of John Foster Dulles points
up something often overlooked
when discussing high matters of
government
To play the game the way it’s
run today, merely being in good
health doesn’t seem to be enough.
It is best to be exuberantly
healthy.
No ona has illustrated this bet
ter than Dulles.
As the leading exponent of itin
erant diplomacy, Dulles roved re
lentlessly about the world, flying
more than a million miles, visit
ing 47 countries. In between
flights he has had to run the
State Department, defend his
policies before Congress, appear
at countless social functions.
And he has done all this at an
age—ho will be 71 on Feb. 25
when many men coniine their
worries to the size of their Social
Security checks. Even an opera
tion for cancer a couple of years
ago failed to slow him down.
Critics frequently have com
plained that Dulles’ whirlwind,
do-it-yourself style of diplomacy
has given him little chance to
think through today's complicat
ed issues.
And, indirectly President Eis
enhower touched on this point at
his news conference last week.
“Actually,” the President said,
“I think that Mr. Dulles is very
hopeful that after he has the op
eration over, that he will get
more time to do a little thinking
at leisure about soirie of our Eu
ropean problems than he does
normally here, badgered as he i 3
by all kinds of requests for state
ments and speeches and going
abroad and all the chores of the
day.
“And I think he is hopeful that
he is going to get to think more
about it.”
It takes tremendous drive, and
a basically sturdy constitution, to
keep up the pace year after year.

In Dumb Silence
I had it out with my adviser. I gave it to him, too.
He didn’t like what I accused him of—things like wanting
to keep me in his curriculum so badly that he didn’t
assume his responsibility as an educator to expose me to
the wonders a University has to offer. But I was hopping
mad and didn’t care much
what I said.
I wouldn't have been so mad
had I discovered this deficien
cy in my education sooner. As
m i s fortune
had it, how
ever, I came
across it in
my senior
year, quite by
a c c f dent—
while thumb
ing through
the University
Catalog - and
it’s too late to
do anything
about it.
What did I
discover? That I've been wast
ing my time by not being in
the College of Home Eco
nomics.

I had no Thumb-Sucking
Seminar. That’s right none.
Shocked? All -those Home Ec
majors in Child Development
and Family Behavior had it—
and for three hours.
But that’s not all I didn’t
have—you bet your home life
that’s not all I didn’t have. I
didn’t have Housing and Home
Equipment 213, either. That’s
where they learn all about
“principles and techniques re
lating to selection, care, and
use of domestic equipment.”

bage disposals, 1 guess!
And it that wasn't enough
to get me steamed up at old
adviser, I completely lost out
on the chance to take Housing
and Home Equipment 413,
which, obviously, is the ad
vanced version of the former.
My adviser wasn’t a bit
moved. He get this—shrug
ged his shoulders. Well, I real
ly layed into him then.
“Do you want me to be a
slob,” I said. “There it was”
—I was waving the Catalog in
his face—“ Clothing and Tex
tiles 10.”
So?’ he said, pulling his
frayed pants cuffs back under
the desk.
“So? So?” I said, trying to
cover my gauche necktie. “It’s
just about the only course
where you can learn ‘choice
of clothing for men and wo
men; color, line, style, and fab
ric for the individual; buying
aids’.”
I had him there. I knew he
was giving in when he mum
bled toward the window:
“You can always go to grad
uate school if you feel so de
prived. Or marry a Home Eco
nomics major, better yet.”
That’s just great, that sug
gestion. There’s only one thing
wrong with it —what would
