All-Campus Election

Will Select Nine Senators

Tomorrow

«

lIndependengt
In a statement in a recent issue of
The Daily, retiring senate president
Bob Krause declared that "although
the senate has been thoroughly re-
organized, a consensus of opinion
points to the need for an efficient
personnel before its aims can be real-
ized." This, as I see it, is the only
"issue" in Friday's election.
My own interest in student govern-
ment dates back a number of years
prior to my first semester here at
Michigan. lEowever, interest alone is
not sufficient to insure the type of
senate member necessary to make a
success of our "revitalized" student
government. That interest must be
reinforced by practical experience.
I believe that I have had such ex-
perience in connection not only with
my local high school but also through
work in Greater Cleveland student'
government and as senate majority
leader at Buckeye Boys' State (Ohio)
in 1940. It is upon the basis of that
experience that I ask your support
of my candidacy.
-Warren Dean Monson
Independent
Now more than ever there is a
great need fortutilizing the energies
and talents of the college student
body. Organized and given some-
thing concrete to do, we, as students;
and citizens, can contribute much to
community effort in accomplishing
the many civilian tasks necessary to
win the war. -If elected to the Sen-
ate, I shall strongly urge that the
vast reserve of specialuabilities and
talents latent in our student body be:
organized and correlated and then
channeled to the places where we can
now best do our share. The Senate
can be a going agency, cooperating
with the University administration
and with the students and their al-
ready organized groups. The Sen-
ate should help us to realize oura
sincere desires to "do something"-
to realize them in terms of active,
intelligent participation in the Amer-
ican Offensive on the campus.
-Lewis Saks

Voting For Representatives
Is Open To Every Student
Every University student will be able to cast a vote for representative
government on campus tomorrow as 18 candidates vie for nine posts on
Michigan's renovated Student Senate.
Polling booths will be set up at all central points on campus and
there are no qualifications of class standing, gender or affiliation to re-
strict voting. Anyone with an identification card will be able to exercise
his University "citzenship" rights.
The senate to be chosen tomorrow will resemble its predecessors in
rame only. Sweeping constitutional revisions have revamped this body
until it now contains nine members instead of the previous topheavy
roster of 30.
When the constitutional revision was first proposed in March it
gained mounting approval from authoritative campus quarters who re-
garded it as a strengthening of representative government's last refuge
here.
The nine men and women to be chosen tomorrow will form a policy-
making group which does not face past senates' burden of committee
work and other administrative functions. This body will be entirely legis-
lative and its low, membership has been cited as increasing both group
and individual responsibility of the senate.
Previous senates have undergone much criticism for their "ineffic-
iency." The new unit will be much more compact and many sources feel
that its smaller size will speed its operation to a pace consistent with the
present war effort.
"There is no doubt that this new senate will be able to perform
much more efficiently than its predecessors," present senate president
Bob Krause, '43BAd, declared yesterday. "However no organization isj
better than its personnel and only a large campus vote can assure this
new body of adequate backing for anything it undertakes."

When Prof. Percival Price, Univer-
sity carillonneur,. plays his regular
recital in this year's spring series at
7:15 p.m. today, a bugler from the
band will recreate a page from his-
tory.
Robert Brown, '42SM, will stand in
the 10-story high Carillon Tower and
will sound the "Heynal" on his trum-
pet.
Seven centuries ago when the Tar-
tars were sacking the royal Polish
city of Krakow, a bugler-playing the
"Heynal" in a call for Poland-was
stabbed in the heart by an enemy's

arrow before he finished the melody.
Since then the melody has always
been broken off at that point. To-
day Robert Brown will play his tune
up to the point it was stopped by
history.
Williams To Speak Today
Under the sponsorship of Athena,
honorary speech society, Prof. Men-
tor Williams of the English depart-
ment will deliver the last of a series
of lectures on countries vitally con-
cerned with the war at 9 p.m. today
in the Kalamazoo Room of the
League.

DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN

Independent
If one reads through the campaign
speeches of candidates written on
the "Eve of Election," and then re-
reads them after the electee has
served office, he realizes that the
words written were just words, but
what really counted was the work
accomplished while in service.
I therefore will make no campaign
promises to the men and women of
this campus, but will honestly and
sincerely devote myself to serving
them as a democratic unit; repre-
senting not any one group, race, creed
or color, but the entire student body.
A small streamlined Senate such
as ours can be a definite asset to
good student government. However,
in the past only a small percentage
of people have taken an interest ir,
their governing body, and in con-
sequence we have been severely criti-
cized for this (I don't care what hap-

The University Party is a Univer-
sity-recognized organization which is
pledged to the following functions
and goals regarding the Student Sen-
ate:
1. Molding the Senate into a more
democratic, more representative, more
active body. The Student Senate is
the only all-student representative
group on the campus, and it is the
duty of every student to maintain it
as such and to enhance its prestige
in accordance with its potential fune-
tions.
2. Continuing the present Student
Senate investigation into student
working conditions, with a view to
bettering the position of those stu-
dents who find it necessary to work
while at school.
3. Continuing and expanding activ-
ities directed toward bringing to stu-
dents a fuller realization of the part
they can play in the national defense
effort here at University of Michigan.
4. Achieving closer, more effective
collaboration between students and
University administration in activi-
ties pertaining to national defense
and to traditional campus problems.

simple and clear statement of my
ideas can I hope to satisfy those
needs:
My platform:
1. That coeds be permitted to wear
slacks whenever they darn please.
2. Repeal of the 12:30 Friday night
curfew.
3. Less noise and more action from
the Senate.
4. That botanists be prohibited
from using the Arboretum.
5. That customary blarney about
fiendishly working my head off for
the student body.a
Any additional information regard-
ing my qualifications to represent!
the student body may be had by writ-
ing to my former landlady.

Realizfng that the greatest possible
cooperation between the students and
the University Administration is nec-
essary at this time in order that we
may do our utmost to further the war
effort on the Michigan Campus, I
will strive to follow a policy which
shall lead to the fulfillment of this
idea. I am confident that the smaller
number of representatives of the new
organization will achieve the goal of
the Student Senate, namely a fuller
representation of the student's prob-
lems. -,Glenn Taylor

pens) stand. Let's show our critics;1
that we believe and practice democ-
racy right here!
Make sure that you vote for your
senators tomorrow.
-Sid Brawer, '44 1
At this time when the activities
of every individual and organization
are directed toward winning the war,
the new Student Senate will find
that its most important duty will be
to cooperate fully with the Student
and Faculty War Board.
If elected to the Student Senate
I will, to the best of my ability, assist
in the activities which are directed
toward making the campus a fortress'
for democracy.
This can be done by:
1. Extending all activities which1
are assisting the war effort.
2. Making available more defense'
courses.
3. Fulfillment of Bomber-Scholar-
ship Plan.
4. Continuing sale of War Bonds
and Stamps.
5. Wiping out all remnants of dis-
crimination against students for
race, color or creed.
6. Initiating training courses for
v omen so that they may be able to}
replace men on the production line
and thus add to the much needed
supply of machines, and implements
to quickly and decisively defeat fasc-
ism.
7. Utilizing the plan for reorgani-
zation of the Senate so that it will
be a truly representative body which
expresses and acts in accordance;
with. the will of the majority of the
students.
As a result of this minimum pro-
gram the campus will be able to
strike one blow against fascism. All
extensions of the democratic rights
on campus will assist in the larger
effort to extend and maintain these
same principles for which we are
fighting.
I will work for the cooperation of

Independent
My platform for the Student1

Sen-j

ate is to carry out a program which
will raise its name through construc-
tive activity. The parleys will be re-
established, and less formal student
participation in the form of rallies,
and bull sessions will be created.
Thorough investigations of racial
and minority groups on this campus
will be made. By means of the co-
operation of other campus organiza-
tions and individual suggestions, the}
Student Senate will conduct a pro-
gram emphasizing the "Drive for
Victory," what we can do to help now
as well as after the war.
Since I have been in the Senate
for a sufficient time to realize its
problems and needs, I, therefore,
pledge my support to:
1. President Roosevelt's wartime
policy.
2. Student War Board.
3. Bomber Scholarship Fund.
4. Student Self-government.
5. Investigations of problems of
Student welfare on the campus.

The old cumbersome thirty-man
Senate is no more! Its record and
reputation among faculty and stu-
dents must be forgotten. The new
nine-man policy-forming Council
must start with a clean slate if it is
to accomplish its purpose. To in-
sure its success capable and consci-
entious m'embers must be chosen this
Friday, and it is the duty of the stu-
dent body to see that this is done.
The best work the late Student
Senate did was to vote itself out of
office and create a new constitution
which establishes a smaller workable
Council and an administrative de-'
partment. I was appointed a sena-
tor six weeks ago and along with two
other senators drew up this new con-
stitution. Our hope was that the
smaller body would get things done
quicker and by so doing would gain
prestige in the eyes of the faculty
as well as the students.
The Senate has been mainly a
service organization. I think it now
should branch out and try tp rem-
edy the gripes that students have
about the way things are run on cam-
pus. The Senate should be one of the
main cogs in the University's war
effort. It should cooperate fully with
the War Board. The Senate should
be the clearing house for miscel-
laneous defense plans which individ-
ual students may have. In order to
carry out its many projects, the Sen-
ate must set up an efficient admin-
istrative department much like that
in operation in the Student Offices
of the Michigan Union.

I hereby pledge myself to:
1. Support practical student aid in
the present all-important war pro-
gram, including:
a. the Blood Bank.
b. the Bomber-Scholarship plan.
c. the sale of War bonds and stamps

d. the substitution of the word

Independent
Without a doubt this Friday's Sen-
ate election will determine for some
time to come whether student govern-
ment on this campus can be a force
on campus. I for one am sincerely
interested in helping the Student
Senate at the University of Michigan
to reach the position it should have
-a position similar to that of North-
western's or perhaps that of Denni-
son's.
I make no long term statesmanlike
or t'studentlike" promises-rather I
call up for your consideration a few
of the problems which will face a
large number of students during the
following semesters.
I propose:
1. That the University of Michigan
should award a degree to those stu-
dents who have finished the first
semester of their senior years and
who are called into the service of the
armed forces.
2. That the University should ex-
pand the number of scholarships in
order to lessen the financial burden
of students who are forced to con-
tipue the "three semester a year"
program.
3. That the University should spon-
sor more free lectures on current
events.
Conclusion: any individual or group
who has a "proposal" which is prac-
tical and realistic may bend my ear
with success.
--Jim Landers
the present national emergency.
e. any practical program designed
to combat the present apathy of the
student body toward the war.
3. Combat all attempts to reduce or
eliminate the social and recreational
activities of college men who may be
enjoying the last years of their lives.
4. Work for the establishment of
a new Student Senate which will be
a vital and important student govern-
ing body, representing the entire
campus forcefully and efficiently
without thought for individual or
small group interests.
