Election Candidates Ccunpaigners On Ad Board 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. • - Differ Policy . ~,. 4 . • ....i 4,)' . I z. • , • i • VOL. 62. No. 114 UNIVERSITY PARK. PA..
