lacks is Councilmen willing to

student support which will give it
the power to act.

work for these things as council-
man. But student government
can't function without interested
students, both supporting its pro-j
grams and working effectively on
SGC committees to accomplish,
these programs. Will you support
these programs, as members of thef
student body? With the proper
leadership, I think you will. SGC
has short-changed its name anf'I
function because it has overlooked
the source of its power, the stu-
dents.
I plan to bring to Council the
realizationhthat it can no longer
exist as the semi-detached head
of a disinterested student body.j
The two must be brought together
must support each other, and
must realize each other's import
ance. When SGC leaders the way
to this realization, Student Gov-
ernment Council can be and will
be an important, dynamic force
at the University of Michigan.,

Student Government Counci'
has existed for ten years. It was
I conceived as a system of student
self government and as a means
of communicating student inter-
ests by participation in the form-
ulation of policies within the Uni-
versity.
SGC has not effectively fulfilled
its intended functions especially in
the area of participating in the
discussion of University policy.
The fault lies not in the struc-
ture but rather in the history. It
has lost command of respect and
authority from both students and
the administration. To obtain r
meaningful Student Governmenti
Council which- would regain thi,
respect I would support the fol-
lowing:

As a candidate for Student Gov-
ernment Council, I propose, i.
elected, to initiate action to:
1. Expand greatly the degener-
ate committee structure of Coun-
cil. Such action would have the,
immediate effect of increasing the
efficiency and productivity of
Council.
2. Promote the general econ-
omic welfare of the U of M stu-
dent through action on such cur-
rent problems as:

Upsilon fraternity; former mem-
ber Green House (E.Q.) Council,
serving as Secretary, Scholastic
Chairman, and representative to
East Quad Council; delegate to
the Conference on the University;
member for three semesters and
currently chairman of SGC Pub-
lic Relations Board.
Student Government Council is
basically an effective legislating
representative of the student
body. But, as such, it requires stu-
dent support, which has been se-
riously lacking. It is my belief
that by expanding the committee
system and making it a more inte-
gral part of SGC, and by improv-
ing the public relations of SGC to
the student body, the Council's ef-
fectiveness can be considerably en-
hanced. The chairman of the

function of SGC alone. These im-
portant needs can be realized only
through a joint cooperation of all
student activities organizations
This should include not only SGCj
but the Student Employees Union
the University Activities Center
(Union-League), the fraternity-
sorority system, residence units,
the Michigan Daily, and WCBN
Together, they have the combined
resources and respect to accom-
plish reforms in' light of an apa-
thetic administration and student
body.
The function of SGC should be
limited to a role of a service or-
ganization to improve the imme-
diate welfare of the student. Long
range plans sliould not be a pres-
ent concern for SGC.
A program which SGC should
adopt and one I would pledge to
support as an independent - un-
aligned with any faction - is asj
follows
1. Better lighting for campus
area to protect women's safety at
night.
2. Merger of existing student
organizations, eg: Assembly and
IQC.
3. SOC cannot operate without
support of high-ranking officers
of ex-officio activities, appointed
by their respective organizations
to SC to alleviate theburdens
Iupon their presidents.
Office of Student Affairs-
University Students:
SGC should represent the stu-
dent before the administration.}
and not the administration before
the student. The student deserves
to have prior announcements of
policy changes and the reasons
behind them. To increase the stu-
dent confidence and understand-
ing, the University records should
be open for inspection and the
possibility of a detailed student
handbook should be investigated.
Finally, conferences concerning
the Student Grievances Package
must be continued.
Off-Campus Housing:
With junior apartment privileg-
es complicating the rental situa-
tion, SOC should further increase
its emphasis of the new Off-Cam-
pus Housing Committee. An active
special grievancecommittee-on
housing off and on campus-is a
must.

In the past decade the Student
Government Council has main-
tained the same basic organiza-
tional structure with the funda-
mental catalyst being personnel.
In this light, my platform state-
ment is not a chain of cliches or
hollow promises to abolish all eco-
nomic injustice of apartment
rents and leases, book and movie
prices, and student wages-which'
are the natural concern of my-
self and all other candidates-
but rather this is my sincere
pledge to (1) devote this cam-
paign to the election of a capable,
ambitious council. Then, if suc-
cessful, to (2) concentrate my ef-
forts upon modification of the
council structure so as to insurej
the most effective working body.
which will then be the means to
alleviate social and economic'
pressure.
The specific reform to which I7
am committed is to replace the
council ex officio officers by work-
ing representatives of their re-
spective organizations. This mean
would serve as insurance that the
primary loyalty of all who sit at
the council table will be to the
effective working organization of
SGC.
The essence of my campaign is
the strengthening of the SGC
mandate. As SGC is ideally a
