EDITORIAL OPINION
Another Look
Women students, it seems. "got sprung" Wednesday
night when the Association of Women Students' Senate
passed a rules revision that will he effective next term.
At this point in the game we are ready to say any
liberalization in the rules is a step in the right direction.
Many rules (such as smoking on campus) were antiquated
before this year and the year before that one.
But take another look, all you happy coeds, at what
really happened Wednesday night. Take another look at
your grass roots democracy.
Probably the first time you heard about the rules
revision was when it had already passed and become law.
A comparable situation would be the United States Supreme
Court revising the Constitution and submitting the bill to
Congress tomorrow and having them vote on it. The masses,
of course, would be told of the decision, but only after it
passed in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Many in AWS would argue that the vote was made by
representatives of the women students, and in fact, discus
sion would be redundant. But the fact is, undercover tactics
of the organization itself defies its own claim as as a demo
cratic body. And how redundant that discussion might be is
little consideration when the methods fall shoat of demo
cratic proceedure. We also have a strong feeling that if the
subject was brought before the coeds at large there would
hardly be a "redundant discussion." In effect, AWS has
said to each women student, "These are the changes we
have made to govern your lives—live by them, or else."

Part 1
The college graduate's initial exposure to tko
world of business is often less than exhilarating.
The reason? A great many companies require the
recent graduate to serve a long-term apprentice
ship in'a role that offers little or no opportunity
to demonstrate personal capabilities. That is not
the way at Ford Motor Company. Our College
Graduate Program brings you into contact with
many phases of business, encourages self-expression
and helps you—and us—determine where your
greatest potential lies. An important benefit of the
Program is getting to know and work with some
of the most capable people in industry. One of many young men who
believes he has gained tremendously from this exposure and experience is
Larry Moore, a Product Design engineer.
Larry Moore
8.M.E., Unit , . of Kansas
After receiving his B.M.E. in February, 1964, Larry joined our College
Graduate Program and began work in brake design. Stimulating assign
ments followed in product evaluation and disc brake development. Later,
he learned production techniques while supervising one phase of the
Mustang assembly line operations. An assignment in our Truck Sales
Piomotion and Training Department added still another dimension to his
experience. The "big picture" of product development was brought into
focus for Larry when he became associated with Thunderbird Product
Planning. From there he moved to the Special Vehicles Section . . . into
the exciting world of high-performance cars!
Currently, Larry Moore is on leave of absence, studying to acquire his
M.B.A. degree at Michigan State. He feels—and rightly so—that we're
100 percent behind his desire to improve his educational background.
Young men with talent, initiative and ambition can go far with Ford
Motor Company. Think about it—and talk to our representative when
he next visits your campus.

Procedure Questioned
TO THE EDITOR: I read with
interest Mr. Spagnolli's very
timely and judicious treat
ment of the campus disci
plinary system.
As Chairman of the USG
Legal Awareness Committee.
I have had occasion to deal
with cases of a similar na
ture. The committee's work
is strictly confidential. How
ever, I am able to cite a few
general categories in which
legally questionable and/or
unethical procedures are evi
dent:
1. Interrogation of students
suspected of misconduct:
a. It is questionable that
the University. not being a
legally recognized police or
ganization, has the right of
investigate certain cases of
misconduct.
b. It is question able
whether students are in
formed of their constitutional
right to legal council and to
the right of protection from
self-incrimination.
c. It is quest ion a e
whether promises made to
students to keep information
confidential are kept.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
In light of these factors and
others deemed unnecessary to
cite at this time, the Corn•
mittee, in consultation with
professional legal advisors, is
preparing a comprehensive
report outlining questionable
areas in University disciplin
ary procedure and recom
mending revisions in line
with the findings. The com
mittee welcomes any infor
mation that students may
have concerning these mat
ters. Confidential statements
may be turned into the com
mittee at the office of the
Undergraduate Student Gov
ernment in the HUB.
It would be helpful if the
University would reevaluate
its procedures in light of civil
law and ethical standards. It
seems quite absurd that the
Legal Awareness Committee
should have to exist on a
University Campus. However,
the severe damage to indi
vidual personalities and fu
tures caused by certain pro
cedural inadequacies makes
the existence of the commit
tee imperative.

Individual Votes
Recorded by AWS
TO THE EDITOR: I would
like to raise a question con
cerning the AWS election
voting procedure. To vote,
your activities card is
punched, and you sign your
name to a numbered list. My
question: why are the ballots
numbered to coincide with
the one next to your name
on the list?
I was under the impression.
erroneously it seems. that
voting was by secret ballot.
Why does AWS record the
way every woman votes?

The Tragedy
Of Sigma Nu
By RICHARD G. SPAGNOLLI
From almost every tragedy there
evolves a lesson. And even the lesson learn
ed is in itself a tragedy when it evolves from
an incident similar to the fire in Sigma Nu
aternny.
Regardless of the cause of the fire, cer
tain conditions existed in the t'raternity to
compound the effects of the blaze. And , hese
conditions are present in a majority of the
older fraternity houses located m this uni
versity community.
It is a well-known fact that most fra
ternity houses have a beautiful outward
appearance. The houses are well painted, the
lawns and shrubbery are neat and a person
passing by could never imagine what con
ditions exist inside.
Usually the first floor is well kept, prob
ably because it is the first place people see
when they visit a fraternity house. Of course
this is where the parties are held also, so it's
important that the whole first floor be neat

If you dislike being pigeon-holed,
perhaps you'd like to consider a career
with us. You can never tell where it
might lead,
and impressive at all times
But the danger hes on the upper floors.
Here less care is excicised in regard to
appearance and in many cases the rooms
are filled with old furniture. the plaster is
peeled from the walls baring the wooden
backboards and Junk is piled in heaps on
the floors—all which could aid a fire if it
should start.
When houses are old and constru c ted
mainly from (V00(1, it becomes important
that esti a precautions be taken above those
of regular fire-fighting equipment.
It would be well for every frateinity
and the University also to examine the
upper floors of all the houses to make cer
tain that no conditions exist which could
aid a fire.
A fraternity has a beautiful outwar
appearance, but the lesson of Sigma Nu tell.
us that beauty can be unpaired
