PA„ WEDNESDAY MORNING. MARCH 23. 1960 Political Parties Discuss Platforms A plank on segregation will be included in Campus party’s platform for the spring elec tions. Candidates of Campus party definitely de cided last night to adopt segregation as an issue and will formally announce the plank and reasons behind it in the next few days, according to John Brandt, party clique chairman “Candidates of Campus party feel that the problem of discrim ination involves all Americans such that we, as responsible stu dents, cannot ignore the situa tion,” Brandt said. Paity members decided they would advocate that the Student Government Association support a conference which will discuss the group minority problems at the University of Michigan this, semester. Other issues which will be come party planks include the necessity of a regularly sched uled meeting between the SGA president and President Eric A. Walker which would be open to the press. Another plank will urge that all students be allowed to park on downtown streets from 2 to 6 a.m. on weekends. Brandt ex plained that the borough could adopt alternate side of the street parking to allow for cleaning and snow removal. Under this system, which is used in large cities, park ing is allowed on one side of the street one night and on the op posite side the next night. Other issues which will go into Campus party’s platform include: • The exemption of active re servists from ROTC. • A University book store. • A study of lhe possibility of allowing students to transfer their matriculation card privi leges for athletic events and ar tist series concerts to others. • The writing of letters to the attorney general asking that stu dents be classified as having oc cupations away from home so they qualify under the state law to vote here. •An open, weekly meeting of SGA representatives with stu dents m their classes. • A clarification of which courses can be taken by examin ation and then a listing of the courses and requirements for the tests.
