Cabinet, Assembly
To Cooperate This
The Student Government Association officially begins
operations this week with the first meetings of Cabinet
and Assembly. Both bodies are in unique positions in that
the future of this reorganized system will depend upon
how effective each one proves itself to be.
This effectiveness is not the sole factor to determine
the worth of the newest student government system on
this campus in 20 years. Another one, and perhaps the
most important one of all, is whether the Assembly and
Cabinet will cooperate in achieving a common goal—
efficient student government.
The first few weeks last spring following the inaugu
ration of the reorganization system were characterized
by each branch trying to assert superiority over the other.
This will not lead to good student government and cer
tainly not to cooperative action.
Cabinet is the executive body and as such can make
recommendations to the Assembly which is the highest
legislative organ for the student body. But, both branches
are vitally important to a smooth-running system of
student government.
The conduct last spring brought a member of the ad
ministration to remark at the 1959-60 Student Encamp
ment—“ Why have a Cabinet at all if it has no way of pre
senting its ideas to the Assembly? Why is the Assembly
so afraid that Cabinet ideas cannot stand or fall on their
own merit? Will there always be a natural antagonism on
the part of the Assembly to Cabinet?’’
These words should be kept in mind and should be
taken seriously by both the executive and legislative
bodies. They apply to both, and it is up to student govern
ment to prove the former questions unfounded.
Along this line it can also be said that while many of
the Assembly members are new to student government
and its proceedings, they are on their way to learning how
to operate a successful legislature and must be given
every opportunity to develop their leadership and self
confidence.
The new system promises to be most effective answer
to the expanding University. But, as it happens in any
thing new, flaws will be discovered and these flaws will
be corrected to meet the goals set for successful student
government. This cannot be done while each branch is
attempting to tone down the other and make itself all
powerful.
Student government is on trial this year, and it will be
interesting and educational to see how it works out. Let’s
put the entire student government system ahead of the
individual bodies which make it up and.achieve the goals
that lay behind reorganization.
A Commendable Audiance
Hats off to the number of students who attended the
Spivakovsky violin concert Sunday night.
The full house in Schwab Auditorium was a clear
indication that more students are beginning to take an
interest in some of the cultural and intellectual oppor
tunities offered them on campus.
The reception which they gave to the noted performer
was an excellent show of social maturity and apprecia
tion of fine music.
Let’s see more turnouts and conduct similar to this
in future events.

TO THE EDITOR: Believe it or
not the University is lucky that
50 coeds weren’t kidnapped last
night (Sept. 24)!
Or maybe the coeds were the
lucky ones since they didn’t have
to worry about buzzers sounding
if some friend took the risk of
sneaking her girlfriend in the
back door.
Under the circumstances she
could have invited her male
friend into the room through her
window (providing she lived on
ground floor of Simmons), which
through some accident on hous
ing's part was left wide open
without even the protection of the
screen; or the girl could have
just stepped out of her window
to freedom and no hours.
But since the girls were trusted
without the usual hammered-on
screens, only a little bit of fun
was had by playing the old game
“Go In and Out the Windows”
before curfew time.
Getting back to the seriousness
of the matter, we find that much
fuss was raised over how prowlers
got in the dormitory in previous
years. This year we find our
selves (ground floor coeds espe
cially) inviting dangers of this
sort.
In the future we should guard
against such a slip-up. I’m sure
Dean Weston would’nt have want
ed her “little flowers” mutilated.

Tkings Are Different
At Summer Sessions
Three engineers walked down the Mall this summer
and the Obelisk collapsed.
Summertime is a very unusual period here when
compared to the regular semester crowds, parties and
cold weather (don’t worry, it’s coming).
It’s a quite casual time too. Several times last fall
and spring we heard com
plaints about coeds wearing
sneakers without socks. This
summer the complaint was that
they weren’t wearing anything
. . . on their feet, that is.
And the things that happen
in the residence halls ... Wow!
