PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Plug the loophole: The legality of a political party'S running - a candidate who belongs to another - party - is one of the major weak nesses in: the campus' political structtire. • .Political parties are one of the fundamental ingredi t . era's of any workable democratic system! of government _ because they mold and advocate views and philosophies, :A political party in order to be an effective and bene ficial instrument in government should be composed of individuals who are interested in. furthering certain common ideas and achieving definite goals. . The artificial atmosphere in which campus political parties function prevents their philosophies and goals from being as stable as those of the major political parties of .the nation and the world. However, the politiW. parties on campus do consti tute a basic and important segment of student government.' For this goVernment to be effective, the parties must operate in the tradition'of true political pariies. The loophole in the constitutions of Campus and Uni versity parties that permits them to run non-party mem bers .for office,•helps to undermine both, the strength and purpose ,of political parties. . • It was through this loophole that Campus party nomi nated Katherine Johnson, a member of University party, for secretary-treasurer. Instead of crystallizifig and champiOning certain Ideals and philosophies, campus political parties intent on "win ning the election" are relying too heavily on personalities. In the interest of strengthening the role of political parties and thus the force of student government, we urge the USG Congress to - eliminate The right of one party to nominate candidates who are members of some other party in future elections ) Student-Operated Newspitper 57 Years of Editorial Freedom Batty Tollentan #l , Successor to The Free Lance. e st. art Published Tender through Saturday morning during] the University year.

Letters Advertiser's Logic Hit TO THE EDITOR: I would like i to answer the !Sane Naviga tors" who advertised in the • Collegian April 3. No matter who wrote the advertisement (although it is regrettable that those thirteen who put in . the open letter would not sign ci it openly) the point is well ma e —if one accepts the analogy that life boats are like fall-oat shelters, that icebergs are like nuclear weapons. 1 I feel that analogy is poor for the following reasons: - •An iceberg is a natural dis aster which man can not elimi nate or overcome at this- time. The impending disaster in the case of civil defense is, in fact, man-made and can be remove d by man. •The presence of life boats will not cause icebergs to. get, larger or hit any ships more heedlessly, while fall-out shel ters are • just another step in the fatalistic arms race, going on at present. -. Mankindtoday is challenged by quite enough natural dis-; asters for which much needs,to be done `— both prevention and, where prevention is not pos sible, protection against pos sible tragedy. T.
