Campus Election Debate Rages
SGRU, Voice Offer
The Best Candidates
HAT KIND of Student Government
would you respect? What should Stu-
dent Government do to get you interested
in it?
These questions have not been asked for
ten years. The last time they came up
was when Student Government Council
was formed in 1954. Since then various
candidates for Council have given vari-
ous, meaningless answers, but the ques-
tions have never really been put to the
student body before. This year things are
different. A group of students-Richard
Simon, Carl Cohen, David Block, Tom
Copi, and Robert Grody-tired of seeing
Council operating in the rarefied atmos-
phere of isolation from the student body,
organized the Student Government Re-
form Union to put these questions to stu-
dent voters.
4GRU CANDIDATES deserve the support
of the entire student body. If elected,
they will try to set up a constituent
committee, drawn from the body, to find
out what kind of student government
would be most desired by the students on
this campus.
Opponents of SGRU have been making
charges that the party is anarchistic in
orientation. They claim the party wants
to abolish SGC and not build anything in
its place. This is not true. SGRU candi-
dates will not abolish Council, nor will
they declare a moratorium on Council
meetings. They want to set up their in-
vestigatory committee while Council is
actually operating.
If the committee comes up with a bet-
ter form of student government, then
SGRU will start discussing a student ref-
erendum on it and methods of implemen-
tation. This is not the program of an
anarchistic group. It is the position of a
group dedicated to the proposition that
the student body is the only group to de-
cide how it should be governed.
HE FOUR CANDIDATES sponsored by
Voice Political Party-Stan Nadel, Dick
Shortt, Barry Bluestone and Steve Berko-
witz-also adhere to the philosophy of
bringing SGC back to the students. They,
too, deserve election. A combination of
SGRU and Voice candidates on Council
represents the best chance in ten years
for student government to achieve a pos-
ture of dynamism and responsibility
which will result in more respect for stu-
dents on the part of the faculty and ad-
ministration. More respect from these
groups means more gains for the student
body.
Tony Chiu and Diane Lebedoff, running
as independents, are the only other can-
didates we have found who would con-
tribute to the creation of the type of
Council desired by the student body.
THE SIX CANDIDATES who least de-
serve to get elected are those sponsor-
ed by the Students United for Responsi-
ble Government. This group was formed
as a reaction to SGRU and is campaign-
ing on two main points: 1) SGRU is a
bunch of anarchists and 2) SGC up to
now has proved itself as a successful body
which should not be changed.
The first point has already been dis-
posed of. The second point is presented
for political reasons. Three of the six
SURGe candidates are incumbents whose
contributions to Council have been neg-
ligible. Gary Cunningham has introduced
one motion (near elections time, coinci-
dentally) which has been tabled. Scott
Crooks has introduced something like
three motions, two of which have dealt
with administrative matters. Miss Miller's
desire to cooperate with the administra-
tion at virtually every turn has helped
water-down many Council stands. SGC
committees, which are under her control,
have not moved on many Council proj -
ects. But to get elected, these candidates
are forced to claim that SGC has been
worthwhile.
SURGe candidates seem to view SGC as
a private club whose members have the
right to play with the desires and concerns
of the student body. If SURGe candidates
are elected, Council will just roll on doing
nothing, maintaining its image of a
"Mickey Mouse" body with nobody's re-
spect.
THERE IS ANOTHER election going on
today in which students have the op-
portunity to advance their own interests.
This is the election of a student mem-
ber to the Board in Control of intercol-
legiate Athletics. Usually, those students
elected have been nominated with the
support of the athletic department. It
istands to reason that these students
would not take as strong a stand against
certain issues (the $12 athletic coupon
fee) as an unattached student.
This year, Tom Weinberg, a member of
The Daily sports staff, is running for the
Board. He has studied the problems of
athletic administration extensively for
two years and is the most qualified candi-
date as far as knowledge is concerned.
His lack of ties to the athletic department
would, make him a strong advocate of
student interests. The need of the student
body to know what is happening in ath-
letic planning makes his election man-
datory.
THIS CAMPAIGN is the first one we
have seen where the basic issue for
Council, whether SGC should continue to
exist or be studied and changed, has
come up.
The student body, in its own interest,
must take advantage of this opportunity
and elect those candidates running on
the SGRU and Voice platforms. Stu-
dents will be the chief beneficiaries.

To the Editor:
THE MAJOR issue in the pres-
ent SOC campaign seems to be
not that of specific issues proposed
by the candidates, but that of ac-
tion versus inaction in student
government.
Three of the members of SURGe
political party have been on SGC
and are presently running for re-
election. They are using as their
major campaign issue their rec-
ords on Council and the idea that
SOC has been active and produc-
tive. This is in fact not true. SOC
has done very little in the recent
past but complete action that was
started with previous councils.
SGC has indeed been very inactive,
and this draws us to the conclu-
sion that the three incumbents are
status quo politicians because they
consider inaction action, and stag-
nation progress.
THE SURGE candidates, in-
cluding those who are not incum-
bents, are presently clouding the
campaign by calling the other
candidates frivolous and spending
the majority of their time nit-
picking rather than concentrating
on the really basic issue of this
campaign: whether we are going
to have effective, representative
student government on this cam-
pus.
In calling SGC effective, the
SURGe candidates point at all the
work SGC has done for the stu-
dents. It is true that SGC has been
discussing issues all year; however
these are the same issues that
Voice political party has been sug-
gesting action on since its incep-
tion on this campus four years ago.
We are dissatisfied with incum-
bents who openly admit they have
no platform. We are dissatisfied
with Gary Cunningham who re-
fuses to discuss what he himself
has done on Council all year, but
who would rather spout glittering,
hackneyed generalities about the
need to go slow. We are dissatis-
fied with a candidate who has not
brought any legislation to Coun-
cil except for one piece which was
subsequently tabled.
We are dissatisfied with Mr.
Crooks who is claiming credit for
a project suggested by Daily Edi-
tor Ron Wilton-especially in view
of the fact that this has been
done by the League and the Union.
We are dissatisfied because he has
nothing to show for his part in the
course description booklet and be-
cause he has not improved the
idea.
We are dissatisfied with Miss
Miller, who has made an uninspir-
ing and uninspired administrative
vice-president.
* * *
WE ARE dissatisfied with candi-
date Chad Gray who thinks that
the prices students are charged for
school supplies by Ann Arbor mer-
chants are fair and just. We are
dissatisfied with him because he
has come to Ann Arbor, looked
around for a few months and de-
cided that the things which stu-
dents on this campus have been
fighting for for years are worth-
less, and that Council need not
bother itself about these important
issues.
We are dissatisfied with Don
Filip and John Reece who have
not had an original thought
throughout the campaign, and
have only barely learned the words
,"go slow" by rote. We think they
should have some knowledge of
what is going on and why.
This is the second time Mr. Filip
has run without any ideas. We
think once would have been
enough..
* * *
SINCE the advent of SGRU,
SURGe has decided that it must
pretend to clean its own house.
We contend that if it was capable
of doing something, its incumbent
members would have done some-
thing while they were our elected
representatives.
It is more than peculiar that
they have copied SGRU's and
Voice's ideas since the advent of
the campaign, and that they ex-
pect voters to believe they are
capable of instituting the ideas
better than the people who origin-
ated the ideas.
We are also very unhappy that
they have chosen not to discuss
the issues. However, the reason for
this tactic is implicitly obvious-
they have nothing for the voters
but smiling faces and vague prom-
ises of improvement in the fu-
ture-eventually.
They openly admit a glaring
need for improvement, yet they
claim to be able to do it better.
If they were competent people,
there wouldn't be a need for im-
provement.
EVERYONE on campus is aware
that SGC's process in taking ma-
jor action is slow and tedious,
However it need not bestagnant-
When asked what SGC has done
during the past year, Miss Miller
apologized for a lack of dynamic
programs on the grounds that
SGC's major action was cleaning
up the membership issue. However,
the membership issue has been out
of the way since fall.
Neither Miss Miller nor Mr.
Cunningham nor Mr. Crooks
thought up the solution. In fact,

continuation of the present agon-
izing inaction.

Athletic Board .. .
To the Editor:
IN AN ARTICLE written by your
sports editor this past Sunday,
which supposedly was to be an uni
biased examination of the candi-
dates for the Athletic Board, he
stated that this year's election was
a unique one, because there were
four rather than the usual three
candidates.
He failed, though, to elaborate
on the reason for the additional
candidate. It has always been a
bylaw that the Manager's Council
nominates two athletes and a con-
sistent policy to nominate popular
athletes on athletic tenders.
The reason for this setup was
to insure athlete representation on
the Board, which is a must, re-
gardless of what the reporters of
this paper think. It is true, how-
ever, that many of the student
members on the Board in the past
have felt the control which their
athletic scholarship carries with it.
IN ADDITION, The Daily has
put up a candidate for the Board
for the past few years. The motiv-
ation behind The Daily's support
of a candidate emanates from its
frustration at not being allowed
to have a reporter present at the
Board meetings. Again The Daily
is acting blindly on principle-it
feels its right to sit in on a coun-
cil which discusses personal prob-
lems such as salaries of coaches,
etc.
It is for the same blind editorial-
ism that The Daily has made a
stand against the Union Referen-
dum: even though such reorgani-
zation will greatly facilitate the
Union's operation, The Daily ob-
jects to the principle of remov-
ing student elected representatives.
* * *
THE REASON for the unique-
ness of this year's Athletic Board
election, is because the fourth
candidate is an interested student
as well as an athlete-in fact the
first athlete who has ever peti-
tioned for this position. In addi-
tion, he does not, as the sports
editor misrepresented, feel the
pressure of an athletic tender
Please vote today and elect the
athlete with an active concern for
the student body, as well as the
interests of the athletic depart-
ment.
-Chuck Pascal, '66
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Sunday's col-
umn couldn't be called an unbiased
examination of the student candi-
dates for the athletic board-not by
anystretch of the imagination. In
fact, it wasn't an examination of
the candidates at all, except to
mention their names and affilia-
tions. The column waststrongly
biased, I admit, against the nom-
inating and voting procedures in-
volved in the election.
(In calling this year's election
unique, I was referring to the two
candidates running as student pe-
titioners, Chuck Pascal and Tom
Weinberg. There are usually no
student petitioners. It is true that
members of The Daily sports staff
have, for the last three years, run
as student petitioners. They were,
however, not "put up" by The
Daily. It is also true that The Daily
has been acting on principle in
supporting them, partly the prin-
ciple of freedom of the press, as
Paschal indicates, and partly the
principle of democratic election
procedures.
(Paschal is to be commended for
being the first athlete ever to peti-
tion for a position on the athletic
board. Maybe it will start a trend.
IQC...
To the Editor:
NEITHER the letter from George
Steinitz in yesterday's Daily
nor Mr. Steinitz' actions on IQC
are representative of the opinions
of Quadrangle residents at the
University. The letter, defending-
indeed, actually praising-the IQC
endorsement interviews of SC
candidates, was grossly misleading
and generally false.
IQC, according to all the candi-
dates for SGC, ran the worst in-
terviews of any endorsing group on
campus. While all other groups al-
lowed candidates leisurely time to
state their platforms and answer
all questions fully, the IQC mem-
bers felt they were too busy to
waste time judging candidates
carefully, and forced candidates
to speak for a maximum of three
and a half minutes to a stopwatch.
THE FAILURE of IQC to judge
candidates carefully is typical of
its lack of concern for quadrangle
residents, and is obvious from the
unanimity of other groups in en-
dorsing candidates which IQC ig-
nored. Ron Martinez, for example,
was endorsed by every other in-
terviewing organization, including
the Young Democrats, Young Re-
publicans, Interfraternity Council,
and WCBN, but was not allowed
enough time to present his care-
fully considered proposals to IQC,
and was (incredibly) not endorsed
by IQC!
The men of the quadrangles
have always laughed at and ig-
nored the inept and bumbling
leadership of IQC. In this election,
they will pay more attention to the
endorsements of other campus or-
ganizations than to IQC. These
IQC endorsements will do nothing
but further convince the men of
the quadrangles that IQC is a
worthless sham, and that its lead-
ers, including Mr. Steinitz, who
was elected East Quad president
with the support of less than a
quarter of the eligible voters, are
not fit to pass judgement for quad-
rangle residents on the qualifica-
tions of SGC candidates.

To the Editor:
IT WAS encouraging to read in
The Daily that the Student
Government Council has agreed
to allow the co-op bookstore to
,handle the Student Book Ex-
change. The creation of a compre-
hensive book service for students
would be an excellent achieve-
ment. Indeed, positive support of
this nature would be Council's
best response to its critics.
-Richard James, '64
Union . .
To the Editor:
THE UNION Board will hope-
fully become a smaller and
more efficient body this week de-
spite what John Bryant has inac-
curately stated in his recent edi-
torial. The Union's opportunity to
serve its constituencies better may
be prohibited by those students
who see any loss of representation
as a severe blow to their demo-
cratic privileges.
Being an elected member of the
Board, I have been in the position
to judge the contributions of the
faculty, alumni, and student rep-
resentatives. The contributions to
the Board by the Officers and con-
tinuing members, is indeed quite
disproportionate to that of the an-
nually-elected students. There can
be no question in my mind in the
light of these and other similar
considerations, that a restructured
Board of Directors is necessary if
the Union is going to serve the
campus and serve it well.
MR. BRYANT seems to be fa-
voring a Board of Directors which
is dominated by a student plural-
ity. This point of view was unac-
ceptable to the student members
of the Board because of their
awareness of the Union's tripart-
ite responsibilities-to students,
faculty and alumni.
Although Mr. Bryant has been
present at several meetings of the
Board, he still is unaware of the
fact that the Union is an organi-
zation which serves interests other
than those of the students. These
responsibilities are equally divided,
and therefore no one of them may
be sacrificed by having unequal
representation as Mr. Bryant pro-
poses.;
The Union has been serving stu-
dents well because of the partici-
pation on the Board of continuing
members as opposed to one year
transients. The most powerful
committee of the BQard, the Fi-
nance Committee, reflects this
fact, having no elected student
members in its body.
This committee camne about as
a result of the Board's slowness.
The proposed Board would have no
Finance Committee, but rather,
the entire Board would act on all
financial matters.
. *
IF THE students listen to Mr.
Bryant when they go to the polls,
they will be defeating a very sin-
cere attempt on the Union's part
to give more attention to improve-
ments which would benefit stu-
dents as well as faculty and alum-
ni. If, on the other hand, they sup-
port in a two-thirds majority vot.
the new Union Constitution, they
will be freeing the Union's re-
sources which have been untapped
because of structural impediments.
Finally, Mr. Bryant's prejudicial
assertion that the Senior Officers
of the Union only see things
through the eyes of the organiza-
tion and thus do not represent
the student opinion, is indeed an
affront, falsely conceived, to the
unequivocable dedication which
the Union's Officers have had to
provide continually better facili-
ties for student use.

Israel...
To the Editor:
NORML the coverage of a
speaker on campus, even a con-
troversial one, would be read and
quickly forgotten. The talk by
Yehezkel Barnea, the Israeli con-
sulate for the Midwestern area,
which was covered in The Daily,
Wednesday, Feb. 26, is a case in
point.
Although he presented the Is-
raeli side of the Palestine question,
not one of the many letters on the
problem, for either side, thought it
necessary to mention his argu-
ments or even the fact that he had
been on campus.
The same is not true when an
Arab speaker presents his point
of view. The talk given by Thash-
im Bashir, the. United Arab Re-
public's consulate in San Fran-
cisco, and reported in The Daily
on Thursday, Feb. 20, unleashed
a storm. Mr. Bashir's talk before
an open meeting of the, Arab Club
had been unique in that he em- /
phasized that both sides had a
"case' and the meeting had been
extremely orderly.
On the same day that The Daily
covered Mr. Barnea's talk, it in-
cluded a long letter attacking the
points Mr. Bashir had made as
reported in The Daily. Two days
later two pro-Arab and one pro-
Israeli letter appeared and finally
in Sunday's Daily there appeared
a pro-Israeli letter with the "his-
torical facts" as found in the "En-
cyclopedia Brittanica"
* * *
THERE IS no one 'historical
Truth" or at least, if there is one,
it is not yet discernible. Mr. Bashir
recognized he could not change
anyone's point of view, but he at-
tempted to show that the Arabs
had a case as "morally and ethic-
ally correct" as Israel's.
Mr. Bashir included in his talk
a quotation by Nadav Safran, an
Egyptian Jew and expert on Is-
rael, who is currently teaching at
Harvard. Because Safran has suc-
cinctly summarized the nature of
the Arab-Israeli conflict, it is
worth quoting for those who were
not present when Mr. Bashir
spoke-particularly those who are
so quick to champion only one side
of the question:
For my part, I believe that
fundamentally both Arabs and
Jews have an unassailable
moral argument. A person
who cannot see how this is
possible does not understand
the essence of tragedy; much
less does he realize that his
position serves only to assure
that the Palestine tragedy
should have another sequel,
and yet another. N. Safran,
"The United States and Is-
rael".
Maybe the recognition that
there are two equally valid sides
to the problem will bring us a
step closer to peace.

which I am the student represen-
tative.
I attended the one meeting that
this committee has held this year
and was certainly well-received by
the chairman, Prof. Robert C.
Angell of the Sociology Depart-
ment, and the other faculty mem-
bers, and I feel that at least I, if
nobody else, benefitted from my
attendance at the meeting.
GENERALLY I would agree
with the comments of faculty
members and students that were
expressed in the article. There is
one thing I would like to add,
however. Our efforts to make
meaningful contributions to the
SACUA subcommittees have been
seriously hampered by the very
nature of the subcommittees.
Unfortunately, most of them are
rather inactive and powerless.
Some of the fault lies with the ad-
ministration, as shown in the fact
that our committee, the SGC Com-
mittee on University Affairs, has
already come across a few in-
stances where the administration
has adopted a policy and then,
only afterwards, has told the ap-
propriate SACUA subcommittee
what had already been done.
For the most part, however, the
subcommittees are inactive and
powerless because their members
are content just to be informed
about changes in policy and are
uninterested in influencing poli-
cies.
The University Senate is clearly
not applying significant pressure
on administrators to increase its
influence in policy-making at the
University. Many of the subcom-
mittees seem to serve little purpose
other than to assure that a hand-
ful of faculty members will at least
know what the policies of the Uni-
versity are.

To the Editor:
SEVERAL of my friends and I
followed your recent series of
articles on the trimester with
interest. We have been Wonder-
ing, however, why you did not in-
clude graduates tudents in your
survey of opinion. Since graduate
students comprise a large seg-
ment of the student body and are
certainly affected by the trimester
as are other students, perhaps it
would be good to explain this
omission.
-Anne Hilty, Grad.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This admit-
tedly unfortunate omission was
made for two reasons: 1) as under-
graduates we were not sure that we
could construct a meaningful ques-
tionnaire for graduates; 2) the great
diversity of graduate programs and
problems would have rendered any
but the most general questions
meaningless anyway.

ates inadvertently were mailed our

these, 12 "strongly prefer" the new

Sex
At the State Theatre
EVERETT FREEMAN'S "Sunday
in New York" or "Conversa-
tions in Sex" is a kind of "Mary,
Mary" without the funny lines.
The picture gets off to a droll
start when Jane Fonda, who in
this instance can best be described
as a frigid nymphomaniac, asks
Cliff Robertson a question. "Is a
girl who goes around with a fella
a certain amount of time supposed
to go to bed with him?" she asks.
Robertson answers," originally:
"Not decent girls. Men marry de-
cent girls.'
If this weren't enough, Fonda
continues: "The boys tell me I'm
the only 21-year-old virgin alive."
And, just as you might suspect
there's no end to conversation like
this until Fonda finally manages
to get herself seduced at the end
of the picture.

THE STORY takes place in New
York where Fonda has come to
visit her brother (Robertson). She
gets picked up by Rod Taylor who
is a Philadelphia journalist.
When Fonda finds out her
brother is being promiscuous, she
she feels like being promiscuous
with Taylor. This leads to "all sorts
of complications-sheer boredom
primarily.

Cazzie in Politics
ATTACKING Cazzie Russell is roughly
equivalent to attacking God, mother-
hood and the flag.
But Cazzie has ventured into the world
of politics, and in doing so he is making
a great mistake. He should not, under
any circumstances; be elected today as
the next student representative to the
Board in Control of Intercollegiate Ath-
letics.
'HERE ARE A VARIETY of boards on
this campus - the Union board, the
League board, the Board in Control of
Student Publications and the athletic
board. All of them have student, facul-
ty, alumni and administrative represen-
tation-the theory being that all ele-
ments of the community should be in-.
volved in the decision-making processes
for which these boards are responsible.
The athletic board already makes a
sham of this practice. Women, for no
reason, aren't allowed to vote for the
student representative.
BUT MORE IMPORTANT, Athletic Di-
rector H. 0. (Fritz) Crisler has the
An actual Regents' bylaw stipulates,
however, that "a board consisting of the
student managers of the several athletic
teams and the intramural managers" has
the automatic power to place two candi-
dates on the ballot. Why they should have
this power is again beyond reason, but
they don't even exercise it.
No managers' council met to pick the
two athletes running in today's election.
Managers will readily admit that the can-
didates were picked by Crisler and an-
nounced in the managers' name.
THERE IS NO REASON why the students
of this campus should stand for such a
system, and they can voice their dissent
by voting today for one of the non-Cris-
ler candidates.
Two students - Tom Weinberg and
Charles Pascal - are legitimate candi-
dates. Of the two, Weinberg is by far the
most qualified.
He has covered both sports and the
athletic board for two years as a Daily
reporter. If elected he has promised to do
all he can to clean up dubious practices
of the board.
'THE CHILD BUYER':
Play Captures Novel
THE PROFESSIONAL Thearte Program's presentation of "The Child
Buyer" captured the horror, humor and pathos of John Hersey's
novel. Paul Shyre's adaptation remains amazingly faithful to Mr.
Hersey's novel with a great facility to combine some of the lesser
characters of the novel into interesting well-rounded new characters,
as well as updating the script for present day audiences.
The cast worked well together through somewhat shaky scenes
(which undoubtedly will smooth out as the production goes along) and
concluded on a note of gripping horror and frustration.
* * * *
OUTSTANDING supporting performances were turned in by Edith
Meiser as the "self-made" school principal, Dr. Gozar; Wallace Rooney
as the filibustering Senator Skypack; John C. Becher as the confused
Senator Voyolko who needs to get down to the basic facts; and Jackie
Jones as "Flattop" a somewhat young, but convincing juvenile delin-
quent.
Michael O'Sullivan portrayed the ominous villainy of the child
buyer with conviction, while Keith Taylor ran the gamut from the
lyrical quality of description during passages about his walk in the
woods through brilliant intellectualism and on to a young child who
needs and wants the love of his home and family.
Purely from the point of view of production, this play walks a
