No explosive issuesdeveloped and ISL spent most ofthe year keeping up the programof student services.Last year’s election ended in anupset victory of 26-24 for SRP.This surprising victory (to every¬one, especially the victors) start¬ed off an inconclusive year forSG which was climaxed by theanti-SG petition. Politicking play¬ed a prominent part in the doingsof last year’s Government. Themajor squabble of the year oc¬curred over the legality of a spe¬cial meeting of the Government.After all the furor died down, theonly result was a change in thePresidency. The President re¬signed after the Assembly votedto reconsider the legislation ofthe disputed meeting.committees supervise, coordinate, talkSG standingRecommendation of legislation, in¬vestigation, and execution are thegeneral functions of the eleven stand¬ing committees of Student Govern¬ment.Membership on these committees isopen to all students; the chairmen areelected from the SG assembly. Standingcommittees are: committee on recog¬nized student organizations (CORSO),election and rules. NSA committee, stu¬dent needs, civil liberties, academic free¬dom, student-faculty relations, finance,publicity, activities coordination, and thecommittee-at-large (a device to assure aplace on the executive council for amember of the minority party).Committees have the authority to rec¬ommend legislation to the assembly andto handle business matters within theirparticular jurisdiction. Special commit¬tees may be created to fill a momentaryneed, such as the compaign committeeformed last spring to inform students ofthe objectives of the University’s fund¬raising campaign, and to report student views on the matter to the developmentoffice.Recognizing student groups and inves¬tigating their rights comes under thejurisdiction of committee on recognizedstudent organizations. CORSO recom¬mends action on applications for recog¬nition submitted by student organiza¬tions. In addition, it investigates infrac¬tions of the student code, warns viola¬tors of the code provisions, and has thepower to indict and prosecute such viola¬tors before the student-faculty-adminis¬tration court.CORSO handles proposed changes inthe student code, recommending wheth¬er or not they should be submitted tocampus referendum. Two such suggest¬ed changes last year (defeated in refer¬endum) were an activities fee and asocial calendar.Most important among the functionsof the election and rules committee arethose connected with the SG and NSAelections. E & R handles the running ofthe election and also investigates allalleged infractions of the election rules. such as the recent controversy overwrite-in votes and the claim last fall thata student had voted twice. The SG con¬stitution and by-laws (their administra¬tion and application) are under E & R’sjurisdiction.Matters concerned with UC’s affilia¬tion with the National Student associa¬tion are handled by the NSA committee.The most important function of thiscommittee lies in its execution of theforeign student exchange program atUC. At the present time it is sponsoring,through NSA, a Japanese student study¬ing here under a special Ford foundationgrant to NSA.Various projects related to the mate¬rial needs of students are executed orproposed by the student needs commit¬tee. Housing, the student service center,plans for student co-ops—these mattersare the concern of student needs.Closely related are the civil libertiesand academic freedom committees ofSG. The civil liberties committee “worksto assure equality of rights for all stu¬dents and to assure the continuance of academic freedom.” Academic Freedomweek is sponsored by its sister-commit¬tee.Student-Faculty relations committeeis at present supposed to confer with thefaculty on points of educational pro¬cedure.The finance and publicity committeesare SG administrative organs. Naturallyenough, they take care of raising fundsand keeping the campus informed of theaction of SG, respectively.Activities night is supervised by theactivities coordination committee, whichalso has the power, to administer proj¬ects relating to student organizations.Apparently feeling that these stand¬ing committees are not enough, the twocampus political parties are each propos¬ing new ones. ISL proposes a “campusaction committee” and a committee toinvestigate the SG constitution; it pro¬poses expanding the duties of two exist¬ing committees. SRP offers three newcommittees: one on curriculum and aca¬demic matters, one on activities funds,and one on “foreign student affairs.”Page 2 THE CHICAGO MAROON October 23, 1956Maroon questionscandidates answerTo aid the students in their selection of candidates in the SG election Thursday andFriday, the Maroon has interviewed candidates from both parties.

The incumbent SRP admin¬istration, after only six months in office, so lostthe confidence of the campus that many studentspetitioned to abolish the government itself.Abolition of SG is no answer to its ills. The solu¬tion is election of capable and responsible studentsto handle the reins of Student Government. ISLhas proven its record of efficient administrationof SG services, its ability to tackle problems andfind a solution, its concern with the needs of thestudent body, rather than the problems of personson distant continents.The incumbent SG is condemned by the Ques¬tions of the students:“Why was the Service Center closed all sum¬mer for the first time in its history?”“Where was the Student Travel Service whenthe students wanted discount fares at the end ofthe fall, winter, and spring quarters?”“Where is the book co-op promised in the SRPplatform last fall?”The SRP SG was playing with impossible proj¬ects, doomed to failure at the outset. The realneeds of the campus went unnoticed.The ISL program is designed to restore SG toserving the student interest. ISL will,a) create a Campus Action committee to handlestudent complaints about University facilities. Thiscommittee will be the student’s agency for gettingmore efficient and economical service from theadministration.b) re-organize the Government itself. ISL willcreate an independent body to hear student opin¬ion on this matter, with a view toward making SGthe voice of the students.c) create a closer liaison between students andfaculty. A major project of the ISL Student Gov¬ernment will bo a formal curriculum evaluation,a survey desired by both students and faculty.,d) restore the Student Service center to a soundfinancial basis. When this is accomplished andthe SRP deficit is removed, ISL will seek waysof expanding the Center’s functions.e) restore the Frankfurt exchange to a soundfinancial basis. When the food and housing re¬quirements of the two exchange students new oncampus are met and last year’s bills paid, ISL willwork to set up new, student-run exchange pro¬gram.Full details of this program may be found inthe platform. This ISL program is one that canbe accomplished; the ISL candidates will dothe job. We of SRP face the difficult, though welcome,task of running for reelection to Student Govern¬ment. We feel that two issues are relevant: doesthe SRP government have a record that merits re-election; and do past ISL records and the presentplatform indicate that our opposition can dobetter?In the coming campaign we challenge ISL toconduct its campaign on these two issues. Per¬sonalities are relevant only insofar as people mustbe of proven competence for carrying out theplatforms.The University’s discriminatory housing fileexists as a problem. Extensive spot-checking ofthe file left absolutely no doubt but that the major¬ity of the landlords who use the file do discrimin¬ate. Now we offer in our platform a solution —one which we believe is workable, assuming inter¬est and cooperation on the part of the students. Noprevious government has ever taken successfulsteps which remedied the situation. Does the ISLoffer a more workable, equally satisfactory pro¬gram ?The Soviet exchange, temporarily held up, hasprogressed farther than such a program at anyother American university. SRP saw the problemof indifference and red-tape, and boldly side-step¬ped it. No past SG made any progress on thisexchange, supposedly desired by all. Do our oppo¬nents offer anything but criticism?Academic Freedom week was participated in by10 student organizations and by 1000 students, abetter record than that of previous years. We chal¬lenge ISL to show how it will improve upon this.The University neighborhood is in a state offlux. We offer the campus an opportunity to makeits voice heard on the redevelopment. If studentscare about what happens north of 57th street, wefeel that our program offers a channel for thiscare.In the student service center we inherited ouropponent’s political project and found a mess nev¬er previously completely aired. Notwithstanding,we have expanded the center so that a dry-cleaningservice is in operation, and used texts are availablein larger numbers than before. If our opponentshave anything to offer except questionable figures,then we are interested in discussing the issue.If our opponents care to campaign on issuesthen we welcome their leaflets, debates, and chal¬lenges. If they care to campaign on pictures extoll¬ing the beauty of Mitchell tower (lovely gothicimitation) and on administrative difficulties whichthey helped to cause, then we wish them successwith their whispers.We recommend that you do not vote for paro¬chialism. Instead vote for a broader, effectivegovernment; vote SRP.Page THE CHICAGO MAROON October 23, 195« 955Candidate interviews go on and on ...IIIIIIIIIi*IIIIII,IIi (from page 2)body to give it enough business.During the autumn quarter of1955 (when it was under the man¬agement of the last SG), the vol¬ume of business was down ap¬proximately the same percentageas the rest of the year (underthe present Government).

ISLdoes not mention national issuesin the platform and refers tointegration in passing in its aca¬demic freedom plank ("the rightof students to learn must be inde¬pendent of race . . Strangelyenough. SRP has no plank labeledacademic freedom. ISL’s plankcontains the usual wordage, “thatprofessional competence and in¬tegrity are the only grounds onwhich a faculty member can bejudged.”Although it disputes the placeof students on national issues.ISL agrees that with SRP thatstudents have an interest in com¬munity affairs, especially in therelated fields of housing, discrim¬ination. and redevelopment.SRP would have the "admin¬istration publically declare thatit will pursue a policy of non-dis¬crimination in the buildings thatit owns.” It also promises to pro¬pose removal of discriminatory’listings in the administration’shousing file.ISL would work through thestudent representatives on theSouth-East Chicago commission.It also proposes that stickers andcertificates be presented to non-discriminatory shops. mer at about half the usual cost other educational service SG canon a plane chartered by the SRP-controlled SG will not say that.They saw SRP members workingday and night to fill the planeand to meet SG’s $20,000 obliga¬tion to the Flying Tigers airlines."‘I was one of the SRPers whotook charge of this flight, and Ican tell you we received only com¬pliments from student passengers.Last spring they applauded ourenterprise in undertaking to char¬ter the plane, and this fall theyhave been thanking us for theeconomic saving and the fun af¬forded them when the flight wassuccessfully brought off. I sin¬cerely believe that the character¬istically over cautious ISL wouldnever have begun such a project—much less completed it success¬fully.”Civil libertiesThere are two pressing prob¬lems in the field of civil liberties,the desegregation of the Southernschools and the complex discrim¬ination situation in the neighbor¬hood. What should be the role ofSG in these problems?Sarah Silverman (SRP): "SGcan promote campus discussionsabout the desegregation cases.Enlightened public opinion is aweighty tool. These discussionscan be student led groups or maybe led by people from outside,who are vitally concerned. An- perform is to distribute objectiveliterature about the issues. It isalso possible that a campus widecommittee (like all-campus civilliberties committees) may beformed. On the local issue, thediscriminatory housing file list¬ings must be discontinued. If theadministration won’t clean up itsfile, SG should establish a file ofits own.”Debbie M1 n e s (ISL): “On na¬tional problems, SG should workclosely with NSA. NSA is strong¬er and more representative andis thus able to accomplish more.In the local problem, the Univer¬sity can’t do anything, as theneighborhood seems to be againstus. Students can protest by notstaying in discriminatory hous¬ing. Students must work throughthe neighborhood councils. Actionis not a solution; we have to waitfor redevelopment and help alongthe solution, but not force it.”Joyce Everett (SRP-chairmanof academic freedom committeeof SG): "The problem of desegre¬gation should be taken up in aca¬demic freedom week this year.Although we still have the sameissues of the last few years, de¬segregation is more the issue ofthe times. The other issues,though still important, have be¬come dulled by such events asthe fall of McCarthy.
