The Student Senate ---Sees Nothing, Hears Nothing, Says Nothing, Does Nothing
, ,	(An EJit or ial)
with student election campaigns now rolling along, and j with the day of voting less than two weeks away it is time to stop and consider Just what is the reason for all this hullabaloo.
There ls a theoretical basis for student government consisting of two rather distinct parts. First, it is supposed to give the students some voice in those matters that are of : concern primarily to them. Second, it is supposed to give some practice in the problems of government. This is all very well, but student government accomplishes neither of i these things.
First, it does not give the students control of matters that I concern them. It does not give this control, because most such things cost money, and the students have no money with which to do things. Further, there are so few students who know or care about the things that come up for consideration before the students’ governing body that there is no articulate student voice in the matter; what ideas are offered are those of a clique-ish group known as the student senate, and represent only this group.
Second, it does not give practice in the problems of government, because it is all too much of a game. No one, but by full use of his imagination, can conceive of student government conditions as being at all similar to conditions of i political reality.
We have here a student senate, composed of the elected ASSC officers, school and college student presidents, representatives of honorary and service organizations, and repre-

Candidates Name Managers For ASSC Election Campaign
Two Remain In Contest For President
Two candidates — Floyd Cunningham and Michael MacBan—remained ln the ASSC presidential race after Friday's nomination‘assembly, marked by the absence of the “fire” found in previous political gatherings.
These two contestant* were all that remained of a field that at one time included the names of half a dozen potential campus leaders. At the last minute, Ed Jones and Don McNeil caused some surprise [ by dropping out.
JONES WITHDRAWS
Jones, who had definitely placed j his name on the entry list by filing a petition, failed to appear or have a nomination made ln his behalf. McNeil, termed a threat by many, dropped out when his name was not entered with the election commission.
Cunningham was nominated by Dona Bray, who's speech was one of the few short ones. Harry Smith then charged down the aisle to place the name of MacBan before the assembled voters.
PLATFORMS TOLD
Judged by his platform. Cunningham tagged himself a ''reformer" when he called for the abolition of the “gravy train,” revision of the constitution, and education of the student body to the problems of student government.
MacBan proposed to build greater student Interest through the expansion of the university campus, suggested the creation of an adequate sports arena, called for parking and traffic control, suggested tnat non-orgs become an integral part of university life, and demanded that campus and student property be saved from the activities of light-fingered petty thlefs.
NOMINEES INTRODUCED
Nomination speeches for vice-president were marked by b court room atmosphere. Betty Conzelman was presented by Don Fireed, law student: while Barbara Morton was Introduced by Homer Bell, debater.
In nominating Esther Morrison for secretary, Bill Walk told of her experience. Helen Herweg’s name was placed on the ballot by Neal Deasy, who stressed the duties of the post and his candidates scholarship record.
Life was introduced into an otherwise dead assembly by Nick Pappas. In nominating Ken Selling, single aspirant for head yell leader, Pappas presented a masterful bit of showmanship with his "hot mush," “double-talk’’ speech.
