Keeping a radical perspective
(Continued from Page 4)
TO UNDERSTAND SGC it is
necessary to generally understand
areas that Couniel has been in-!
volved in.
1. Protecting student rights and
advocating student power. In 1966
the SGC slogan was "let the stu-
dents decide." Since that t i me
Council has been involved inI
fighting the whole range of the
University's loco-in-parentis regu-
lations.
SGC worked for years to estab-
lish policy boards in the Office
of Student Services, which h a s
jurisdiction over a broad range of
major student services, including
University housing. Though this
was accomplished last fall, the
minimal institutional power gain-
ed has clearly not been embraced
by the Regents, and efforts to
strengthen, maintain and broaden
the concept of policy boards in
other areas of the University must
be made.
SGC has fought continually for
the concept that students should
be disciplined for non-academic
offenses only by other students,
This began with the Joint Judic-
iary Council (the forerunner of
Central Student Judiciary) state-
ment that it would only enforce
rules approved by students. Since
that time, SGC has opposed facul-
ty-dominated judiciaries and more
recently the Interim Rules and
Disciplinary Procedures adopted
by the Regents last April. Coun-
cil has been working with t h a
Committee on a Permanent Jud-
ciary to establish all-student juries
to hear cases in which students
are the defendents.
2. Political role. Over the past
five years, SGC has taken an in-
creasingly active role in University
politics. The language require-
ment, ROTC, the bookstore, the
Black Action Movement strike and
the classified and military re-
search issues are all cases where
SGC has been active. There are
four ways that Council has acted
politically. First, SGC has tried to
inform and politically educate stu-
dents through speaking, leaflet-
ting, setting up educational for-t
ums and printing a newsletter. 1
Secondly, Council has acted in
a supportive capacity for many
campus political movements. This.
includes finances, facilities, en-
dorsements and at times, personal
power.
Thirdly, Council has initiated
political actions when possible and
has often done the groundwork
on issues before they become
prominent.
Fourthly, Council members and
officers have used their positions
as a political base 'to become in-
volved in political efforts, con-
frontations and negotiations.
3. Governmental role. SGC is in-
volved in many day-to-day activi-
ties that most students never hear
about. SGC appoints students to
many different committees andj
councils throughout the Univer-
sity, such as the OSS Policy
Board, University's Commission on
Women, University Council and
the Bookstore Board of Direc-
tors.
4. Service role. SGC has long
been active in consumer and legal
services for students.3
And if the funding proposal on
the SGC ballot next week passes,
SGC is likely to become more in-
volved in services, and could start
projects concerning housing,
childcare and University-wide
course and faculty evaluation.
IT IS ESSENTIAL that those
involved in SGC realize the im-
portant political role the Council
has. SGC must always be ready to
oppose the arbitrary actions of a
University run in the political in-
terests of business, government
and the military. Without thisI
perspective, SGC becomes little
more than a co-opted service or-
ganization.
wayo. ,1 W i 1-'
ganized. For the first time in my
memory, the right has fielded a
strong presidential canlidate and'
a hard-campaigning slate of candi-
dates for member-at-large. Second,
the radicals have run a feeble
campaign and seem almost to ex-
pect defeat, as if They realized
they have dominated SGC too long.
And third, there seems to be
emerging a new system of organ-
ized constituencies. Campus poli-t
tics used to be organized by 1esi-
dence unit. It seem that hereafter
it will be organized by academic!
unit. The last few years have seen
the emergence of a student govern-
ment in almost every school and
college of the University.
IT'S A STRANGE positirn these
reflections leave me in, welcomirg

Let's hear it for the drunks.
It's not the drink that kills, it's the drunk, the problem drinker, the abusive
drinker, the drunk driver. This year he'll be involved in the killing
of at least 25,000 people. He'll be involved in at least 800,000 highway
crashes. After all the drunk driver has done for us, what can we do for
