HAS ANYTHING CHANCED?
ASSC Senate But Satisfied
(Editor’s Note: This is the second in a five-part analysis of the achievements of student government during the first year of oneration under the new ASSC constiti^ion. The series will continue tomorrow with a discussion of the Executive Cabinet.)
♦ * *
By HAL DRAKE Assistant City Editor
The ASSC Senate considered 78 statutes, 38 joint resolution* during 20 regular meetings in the past year. Approximately four-fifths of these measures were passed and sent on to the Executive Cabinet.
This Senate was the “new look" in student government. the pampered child of a new constitution that was to restore resp«?ct and responsibility to student government by removing it from the control of self-interested politicians.
Everyone was watching these new senators. Independents hoped that a free, responsible spirit would emerge from the new croup. The politicians wanted to make sure the Senate would heel. Now. at the end of the year, both j sides can claim victory, both sides must admit defeat.! Neither side can be satisfied.

pened but a lot of noise and a new coat of paint.
Which side was right?
The answer lies only partially in the material con-1 sidered by the senators. Equally important is their atti- tax* II	f
tude as they discussed the more than 130 proposals that \A/ ill	rPftnriTl
crossed the Senate tables.	j	11 III IWI IVI III
There was an independent spirit in the Senate. Political tactics and demagoguery were mi&sing from the legislative atmosphere. Senators often seemed as if they weren’t aware of the dynamite implied in such measures as Hugh Helm's Minimum Standards bill, which called for better performance by ASSC officers, but which also took massive pot shots at Helm’s potential presidential opponent Mike Guhin.
The senators were new to these things. They w'ere new to the Senate, they were new to the maneuvering^ of student government, they were new to power.
The most important change in student government was less a result of the legislation produced than of the motives that produced it. Previous Senates had argued more prosaically for International Student Centers, for a resident campus and bookstore investigations. This Senate argued less rhetorically but more sincerely for what its members believed to be “The best interests of their constituents.”
But. lacking the skill and showmanship of their predecessors, these senators—they were more students than senators—failed to become the cauldron of free will that was going to destroy the "underground.”
The show was still being stage-managed by politicians.
Even wifh such accomplishments as the Finance Code and a fair program for recognizing political parties, the senators were too inexeprienced to read the will of the political machines in the framing of the Elections Code, the songleader issue or the legislative tribunal bill.
These w’ere the controversial measures, the politically “important” measures. But the legislation these new senators were most proud of dealt with extending library hours, helping commuters find rides and increasing student participation in academic decisions.
These bills, which cropped up two and three at a time, received slight attention from the students because their effect was slight. These type of bills were not written to win elections: they were written merely to establish firm foundations and guides for developing the respect and cooperation of the administration and faculty.
Because the new Senate would be harder to control,
It became an ideal for a showdown between the political and independent forces in government. At the end of the year, the new senators had not been tamed by the machines. but neither had they been fired to rebellion by reformists.

Only once before has the editorship of both publications been held by the same person, Reilly said. That was Joe Saltz-man, present Daily Trojan editor, during the summer of 1959. He also held both positions during the summer of 1960.
