for use by students during class
hours was attacked by Carl
Smith and Frank Pearson of
University party as being too ex
pensive.
Leonard Julius and Theodore
Haller of Campus party de
fended their plank by pointing
out that Campus Patrol thinks
the plan is feasible and that a
company has agreed to lease
and install the meters for five
per cent of the revenue per
week.
Julius questioned the wording
of the University party plank
which proposes to initiate a
study of grading systems. He
pointed out that studies of the
grading system had already been
made specifically by Donal d
Zepp, past president of the
Chemistry-Physics Student Coun
cil.
Smith said Zepp had only
been studying one system and
the party plank proposes to
study "systems." Julius then
asked if they had questioned
faculty members about the one
system mentioned in their
plank.
Smith said that the proposal
was not yet concrete and they
hadn't interviewed faculty mem
bers about it.
The second half of the debate
was centered on the pros and cons
of Campus party's proposal to set
up a fire hazard committee and
University party's proposal to
have the Town Affairs Commit
tee air complaints from town stu
dents.
Pearson. University party
clique chairman, asked how the
fire hazard committee intended
to gain access to homes for in
spection. Julius said that the
committee would be working in
conjunction with the fire mar
shal who can demand entrance.
Pearson said the Town Affairs
Committee should be given the
authority to act on legitimate stu
dent complaints and screen out
trivial complaints.

fees in the past. but which now
must be partially collected by
the class. Haller said he didn't
think that too much money
would be gained by having
booths set up at registration.
(This is the plan suggested by
All-University Cabinet after
the University offered to give $3
for every $1 the senior class
could collect.)
Haller said he thought the class
should sponsor some type of fund
raising event.
Hailer said the University's
modification of the 1958 senior
class gift was "all right" be
cause the money came out of
the University budget even
though it is taken from student
fees.

Miltenberger said he thought the
SGA president should take a
stand on an issue even if it must
be against student opinion. Julius
said the SGA president should
see if students are well enough
informed on an issue. He added
that he shouldn't let the students
tell him what to do.
Miltenberger said he was quali
fied for the SGA presidency even
though he was not "a big activity
man." He said this would be com
pensated by his "effort and in
terest."
Julius said he was qualified
for the job by virtue of the fact
that he had come in contact with
a "cross section of students in all
walks .of University life" in the
various activities in which he had
participated.

ITS OUR CONVICTION that candy or flowers make a

course those of you whose mother
is on a diet, allergic to flowers or
just plain particular, why not let

should really hurry.
IF YOUR FRAT longs to be one of the select few who

then send up a lowly pledge (intel

AND YOU beautiful sorority women . . . Since its
apparent that we can't possibly do

Agreement
Carl Smith. University party
candidate for SGA vice presi
dent, said student government
should become stronger in re
lation to the administration un
der the reorganization plan_
He said that the administration
should have a strong hand in stu
dent government because stu
dents are a "transient group" and
cannot see as far into the future
as administration personnel who
may have been here for as long
as 10 or 15 years.
Smith added that the voice of
the students, as expressed through
student government, should be
given more attention.
Lawrence Byers. Campus party
candidate for SGA vice president,
said that if the referendum el re
organization of student govern
ment is passed, that student gov
ernment will no longer represent
interest groups, but the students
at large.
