TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16,1965 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PA(" F. vFVFV PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT by Student Government Council VTFTAIRO . _ r ~ * 4 nr .u V L + v p INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES JOAN IRWIN, JUAN IRWIN, '66 Joint Judiciary Council Gamma Phi Beta Secretary' Having been on Joint Judiciary Council for the past year I have worked with students, organiza- tions, and the administration. I have seen incongruities and in- equities in the student adminis- tration relationship in dealing with University problems. By working on SGC I feel I could solve the following problems that concern you. 1. Will North Campus be a new Siberia? Here is a good example of ad- N ministration planning without student participation - inade- quate food facilities, no planning for student organizations, bad transportation, little attempt to integrate students with the rest of the University. 2. Why is the University unre- sponsive to student demands of academic reform? Students have been unable to influence academic policies - no one is re-evaluating trimester, credit hours are inconsistent with the amount of work required, stu- dents can't personally plead their case before the Administrative Board, there's no University back- ing on teacher and course evalu- ation. 3. Is the Office of Student Affairs denying students' and organiz- ations' rights? The O.S.A. is an ambiguous or- ganization which students find difficult to work with - there is no clear statement of students' and organizations' right and re- sponsibilities, students don't know what they are charged with when appearing before Joint Judiciary Council, the only link students have with the administration and the Regents is the Vice President for Student Affairs, but students have no control over him. 4. Why had the University indef- initely delayed the Residential College? 5. Where are the promised stu- dent parking facilities? The overriding question is Can students reach the Univer- sity? SGC should function as the link to the administration for stu- dents. My qualifications and ideas, which will be expanded in position papers, enables me to further this function. Tomorrow Read, Instructions, Carefully NE W BALLOT ROBERT, BODKIN ROBERT BODKIN, '67 Incumbent, SGC Housing Board OSA Engineering Honor Coun- cil Triangles SGC has worked actively over this past year in several areas. The focus of this Council mem- ber's efforts have been in hous- ing-- 1. Submitting a 20 page econ-j omic study to SGC, the Univer- sity, and the city logically sup- porting definite goals for improv- ed student housing-student par- ticipation in planning of Univer- sity housing, an 8 month lease, and revision of city zoning and building codes to insure quality high rise development. 2. Working actively toward ob- taining all of these goals through SGC's Housing Board, and work- ing with the new Joint Housing Comm. 3. Actively sharing in the de- cision making of future housing here at the University through; the Student Advisory Committee on Housing to V.P. Cutler. SGC must be a responsible or- ganization. Ration and logical approaches to problems of student! welfare must be pursuied. Before it can persuade the Regents or the administration, SGC must have people who can thoroughlyE lem as well as an ideal solution. Above all, SGC must realize that for lack of any other real power in the University structure, tools of persuasion must be effectively employed. Personal contact with the Regents as well as campus petitioning are such tools. SGC must be a representative organization. Campus issues, not complex international problems, should be the primary concern of SGC. Clearcut problems, e.g., racial discrimination, should draw written disapproval from SGC. As for future goals and objec- tives, SGC must continue increas- ing its role in the decision mak- ing process of the University in other areas as well as in housing. One such area would be academic reform. An SGC sponsored con- ference of all steering committees and college councils could result in: effective course evaluation, course revision by students, aca- demic credit for activities, and ways of reducing trimester pres- sure. SGC can win the respect and support of the student body only when tackling problems about which students are genuinely con- cerned. IBM' BALLOT 1 REQUIRES USE OF SPECIAL IBM PENCIL -p i -to be provided JIM WALL JIM WALL, '67 SGC International Coordinator School of Education Council Young Democrats The Student Government Coun- cil, designated by the Regents as the official spokesman of the University's student body, must work unceasingly to discover the' needs and desires of those it rep- resents, and to then formulate feasibly policies to fulfill these needs and desires. The, present members have effectively striven in many areas to meet SGC's re- sponsibility. The following are specific planks in my platform mentioning both present SGC policies which need continued backing and ideas which through discussion by SGC may lead to future policies. 1. The SGC Bookstore Commit- tee has the clear backing of a substantial part of the student body and must be backed to full- est extent in its efforts to estab- lish a University Bookstore. How- ever, the Student Book Exchange must not be allowed to flounder from a lack of financial support because it still represents the best working solution to the problem. 2. Student driving and parking remains a persistant problem. The University "E" Sticker fees may be put to use in this area. There is approximately $120,000 in funds collected from the "E" stickers. One program to help the student parking situation, would be to rent one floor on each of the existing parking structures. 3. Continued support must be given to the SGC motion of Oct. 7, which asked the Vice President for Student Affairs to initiate an examination of the University's International Program. 4. SGC could join with other campus organizations in sponsor- ing a course description booklet which would contain information similiar to that included in the special supplement of the Mar. 28 issue of 'The Michigan Daily.' 5. Support should be given to U-M Student Employee's Union in regard to its higher wages campaign for student employees of the University. SGC should remain alert to the fact that President Hatcher, after distinguished service to the Uni- versity, will be retiring in the not too distant future and a commit- tee to consider applicants for the University's most important posi- tion will thus have to be set up. The student body must be repre- sented on this committee. 7. A closer relationship between the Student Community, the Reg- ents, the Faculty, and the Admin- istration. One possible tool that can be used, would be the services of WCBN, the University Radio Station.

Mich- igan and Vail Co-op Housing Development Commit- tee, ICC Publicity Chairman, 1965 In- ternational Ball Booth Chairman, 1966 World Fair GENERAL: Student Govern-, ment Council has definitely a functional position within the dynamic University picture. Its position is essential. If at the present time there were no student government, I think it would be "High Noon" to create this organization. SGC is necessary to bridge effectively the "two banks of the Amazon river." The two banks are the ad- ministration and faculty on one side, and the whole student body - including both undergraduates and graduates-on the other side. SGC is in existence. I want to make SGC dynamic and more ef- fective. I would like to help SGC represent the students (groups and individuals) responsibly. SPECIFICS: I am primarily in- terested in developing two general trends: (1) Reducing Cost of Educa- tion to Student; (2) Finding Purpose for Stu- dents. (1) I will support SGC's current major issues to the best of my ability. These major issues, as you all well know, is the Student Bookstore a n d the Low-Cost Housing, connected with eight- month leases. I would like to see these issues handled by SGC in a responsible business-like manner. The third issue under 'Cost' is the prices of the essentials for students. I would like to publish a booklet that lists all the busi- nesses in Ann Arbor that act in good faith, in terms of service, quality of products, and prices. (2) The second trend is a dif- ficult one to approach. I want to start making it easier for students to find their particular purpose amidst the current massive knowl- edge of. facts and therefore abun- dant confusion, which in turn lleads to lack of interest and lack of dedication.. I will activate interest in stu- dent organizations. I will start new organizations and projects in areas that are not represented and where interest is demonstrated. The Utopia Club is one organiza- tion that I will start within the next two months. I also want to see that students get credit--not credit hours-for participating in recognized non- class work, i.e. student organiza- tions. As a concluding remark I like to say that SGC should be actively participating in all major Uni- versity policy-making and de- velopment areas,: such as North Campus and tuition raises!
