Kramer plays end on the football team and played center on the basketball team this last winter. Uzelac is a golfer and Rotunno also plays end on the football team. 19 Sophomores Seek I-Hop Posts Nine Positions Open on Coummittee To Direct Next February's Dance Nineteen sophomores are competing to run next winter's J-Hop. The electorate Tuesday and Wednesday will 'choose nine mem- bers from the 19 candidates to form the 1957 J-Hop committee. An attempted change last winter to having a special committee choose the J-Hop committee was defeated in an all-campus refer- endum by a 3-2 margin. Only second semester sophomores and first semester juniors may vote for J-Hop committee members. Candidates this year include: Seven Ex-Offiejo SGC Members Give Views on New Student Government 1.

There is reat deal that has to be! arriving at a satisfactory; for student government. hope that this body in its first few months, will formulate certain "groundrules" that will guide them in their efforts. 3. As I see it, the role of student government will be mainly to pass on recommendations to the other campus organizations I do not feel that the SGC has either the time or the interest to delve into the internal problems of other or- ganizations. Suggestions to avoid duplica- tion of projects as well as recom- mendations of new projects for other groups will be one of SGC's most important functions. As stated in the proposed plan, SGC will recognizernew campus or- ganizations as well as withdraw the same. 4. I feel very strongly that po- litical parties can play an im- portant part in the new student government. As I have mentioned above the success of SGC depends on its ability to arouse student interest. Political parties may help bring government to the students. The second advantage is in the promo- tion of candidates for the elec- tion. 5. As for such delegations as Book Exchange, Homecoming Dance, Cinema Guild, I feel they must be delegated to responsible groups. Other organizations might incorporate them in their pro- gram or interested students would handle the project and be resp6n- sible to SGC. As for SL's executive wing, I feel that every effort must be made to obtain a large interested group to carry on many of the groups, work. I feel that successful operation STAN LEVY-President of In- ter-House Council 1. The general scope of SGC's activities should include those as- pects of student life over which there is concern. SGC should be concerned with all areas of University activity and student activity so long as these directly pertain to students. Such things as calendaring, off-campus housing problems, recognition of organizations, etc. are of course included; also included would be the expression of student opinion on all aspects of student life. 2. Primarily it seems that two general areas are being under-em- phasized: 1) communication with the students and 2) communica- tion with the Administration of the University. 3. SGC fulfills the need for a recognized all-campus form of stu- dent government. It should work with existing organizations but the decisions of SGC with regard to any organizational problems should be final. 4. I have never been in favor of student political parties on this campus. Though perhaps they can perform some function I see no need for them at present and can ire envision no way in which 'they could assist SOC. 5. The Book Exchange should be set up under SGC on the same basis as it has been under the Legislature-a non-profit group whose officials would be appointed by and responsible to the SGC. Cinema Guild should~be set up under a special board responsible to SGC whose members are select- ed by petitioning and interview. It should be non-profit with most of the money placed in the hands of the sponsoring group. I do not personally believe either of these activities should be delegated other student organizations. With regard to the Executive Wing such an organization is ab- solutely necessary under SGC. I would think that it would be under an "Executive Wing Co-ordinator" who may or may not be a member of SGC. it seems to me that a large selling job will have to be done to attract enough, students to work on the Wing so that mem- bers will not be forced to spend too much time in this area. HAZEL FRANK-President of As-, sembly 1. The scope of SGC is large by its very nature. It encompasses the duties of SAC and SL, thereby creating an all-campus govern- ment. 2. I don't doubt SGC will work on many and varied projects, but the first big task it has is to or- ganize. This latter word sounds very compact to most people, but I think that very few people have any notion as to the long and per- haps involved process it will bring about. I believe when SGC finally does get on its feet, it will probably consider such things as the driv- ing ban, rushing, the housing problem, etc. 3. I feel that on questions that concern the entire campus SGC should have a vested interest. SGC will have the power to dele- gate to other groups if the or- ganizations wish to accept the delegated responsibility. While I do feel that no group on this campus is a separate entity, I do not feel that SGC should have financial or internal control over other organizations. 4. The one campus political party has been approved by SAC and therefore, I feel it has 'its place on SGC as do other repre- sentatives. I do not see the need for political parties, but this does not effect the situation. 5. I feel Cinema Guild should remain a function of the all-cam- pus student government, and that it should not be delegated to any other group.

Largely through the efforts of the Student Legislature, the Un- ion's constitution was changed to permit vice-presidents to be elect- ed by students in 1952. As a member of the Union Board of Directors, a vice-president takes an active part in planning and deciding Union policies, programs, improvements and projects.

First came the Cinema Guild, which began slowly and,, in the last two years, has grown to be- come a profitable venture for various student organizations eli- gible to'sponsor the Guild's films along with SL. Next came the Student Book Exchange, which it took over from the Interfraternity Council early in 1952. From its tortuous beginnings as an SL project, the non-profit Book Exchange has grown to a $9,000 a semester business, saving much student money in used textbook transactions. Put all these things together, and you have a rough outline of what SL has accomplished in the eight years between the rejection of one SGC and the approval of another. Laing Group Initiated Early, Talk of SGC (Continued from Page 1) a student referendum acted on the governmental change. Overwhelming support of the SGC plan at an all-campus ref- erendum December 8 and 9 left little doubt as to student support. On December 17, the Board of Regents approved the Student Government Council. Although the Student Legisla- ture was only seven years old, the new plan was the first revision in SAC administration since the Stu- dent Affairs Committee was set up in 1909. There are still major questions to be settled concerning the new government, such as financial sup- port, the role of the Review Board, constitution, and many others. The representatives selected at the first SGC election this week are expected to be a major factor in settling many of these prob- lems. Three Candidlates Get CSP Support Three candidates will receive Common Sense Party support in the Student Government Coun- cil election Tuesday and Wednes- day. Donna Netzer, '56, Janet Neary, '58, and Bob Leacock, '57, all who man CSP supported in last Decem- ber's election will again compete under CSP auspices. The three were among eight Common Sense candidates who won in December's SL election.
