KLEENE A challenige to the entire student I body to establish "an authoritative government of their own" was issued last night in the form of a resolution signed and drawn up by the members of the Student-Faculty Relations Committee of the Michigan Union. Prompted by the belief that student government on the campus is almost powerless, the standing committee, whose membership includes four fac- ulty men and four students, pointed out that the student body now has an opportunity to secure self-govern- ment. Calls On Undergraduates The resolution calls upon under- graduates "to proceed in an orderly, progressive, and constructive way to- wards the attainment of effective stu- dent government." The entire statement as signed by the members of the committtee is as follows: 'BE IT RESOLVED, That in the light of recently published statements in the Daily Official Bulletin of The Michigan Daily, as well as in The Daily itself, and the admirable declar- ation of the President with regard to the policy of the administration, rela- tive to student conduct and the regu- lation thereof in this University, it is the sense of the Committee on Stu- dent-Faculty Relations of the Mich- igan Union that there is now present- ed to the student body an opportunity to proceed in an orderly, progressive, and constructive way towards the at- tainment of effective student govern- ment. It is the opinion of the com- mittee that students should have an authoritative government of their own, and that this government should always be consulted when the Univer- sity believes some action should be taken regarding student conduct. Therefore, this committee stands ready to help in any manner feasible towards the formation of such a stu- dent government." Signed, Committee on Student-Faculty Relations of the Michigan Union. Members Of Committee The members of the committee who all signed the resolution are Chairman Allen D. McCombs, '35, president of the Union, Prof. James K. Pollock of the political science department, Prof. John S. Worley of the transportation engineering department, Prof. Charles F. Remer of the economics depart- ment, Prof. William A. McLaughlin of the French department, William G. Ferris, '35, managing editor of The Daily, Douglas R. Welch '35, record- ing secretary of the Union, and Wil- liam R. Dixon, '36, student executive councilman. - It was felt by the members of the committee that student government should have real power, and further that the student body should always be consulted either individually or as a group when any matters affecting them are considered. The consulting of students, commit- tee members pointed out, would elim- inate to a large degree the passing of "unfortunate" legislation.
