MARTIN EICHELBERGER RALPH WISE
Candidates for 'Junior Class President
• • . • • •
While one candidate for iunior class president stood firm on
the number of persons he would like to have on his advisory
board, the other said he would determine his board's size
according to the "number of qualified students applying for it."
In an interview with The Daily Collegian, Ralph Wise,Uni 7
versity party candidate and' incumbent sophomore dais presi
dent, said he would like to maintain his board,size of about 30 or
35 members.
MARTIN EICRELBERGER. the Campus-Liberal opponent,
said he was striving for quality members - of his board, not for" a
specific size..
He noted that he did not intend' to interview and select the
entire _board •himself, "because that would only represent one
person's viewpoint and you need more than that to select a board
of Such importance."
Wise said he would continue to use his selection policy in
which the preiident and two appointed persons interview each.-
candidate for the board. In selecting members, he added, "each
interviewer's opinion would have equal weight".
A person's activities are a strong indication of his leadership
ability, Wise said, but will not be the deciding factor in, gaining
memberihip on the board. Eichelberger said he thought "activi
ties hav fr nothing to do with a person's ability for the board
Because ( they are an indication of his past and not his future
potential?'
THOMAS MILLER PETER WHITTEN
Candidates for Sophomore Class President
• • • • • •
Disagreement as to whether class presidents should hold
permanent voting seats on the Undergraduate Student Govern
ment Congress arose last night between the two candidates for
sophoniore'class president
• Peter Whitten, Campus-Liberal candidate,: said he considers
a vote, on" USG as necessity to "safeguard the interests of the ,
class."l On the other hand, University party candidate Thomas
Miller 'said he thought the primary responsibility of the class
president is to his class, and a on USG would be a definite
division of interest."
' MILLER GUALEFIED his statement by saying he thought
USG should give class presidents the right to speak on "pertinent
issues:, wiihout - having a congressman yield the floor to him."
Whitten also • noted that althouth an extra vote would not
necessarily decide every issue on the USG Congress, it would
"express a definite opinion; not otherwise apparent."
The size of the president's advisory board Was another area
of disSgreerient between thi two candidates. Miller, the incum
bent freshinim class president; said he would like to - increase the
board's size froth 30 to about 40 members so no one member
would be "overburdened by_ the class's many 'projects."
Whitten said, however,. that it would be "burdensome to
have More than 30 members."' He added that with too many per-
Sons on the.board, a meeting would not run smoothly.
