The five senators who volunteered for committee membership were Wally Karahian. Mike Loshin. Roy McDermitt. Thompson and Bylin.
“Karabian and Loshin have not produced anything constructive this year. I have nol seen anything they have contributed, and I am frankly unaware of what they can do.” he said. Limited Sophomore
“McDermitt is a sophomore and by this qualification is limited onlv to committee mem be r-sh’n.” he said.
Fit/ Randolnh said Thompson did an excellent job on High School Day. Thompson is chairman of High School-Junior College Relations Committee.
"The High School Day achievement and Thompson's work on 1 he Model United Nations organization proved to me thai he had the ability to lead any commit t ee " *

Fit/ Randolnh said if Thompson were running for office that v'as entirely his own bus’ness. However, he admitted that “this would help him by giving him the chance to come before the o'e of the public. Of course, what Thompson does while he is in this public limelight is entirely tin to his own initiative and ability. “I certainly would not discourage persons interested in running for office from the chance." he said.
Fitz Randolph also poinled out that he did not have to explain his apponitment to the Senate. Executive Power
“When the Senate directed me to appoint a committe to consider Stan Arkins resolution, they gave me full executive power to do so. and I am not formally accountable to them.” he said.
Graduate Representative Wes Gregory called Fitz Randolph's appointment "clearly a political move of the cheap gutier variety" in a press statement and warned students that Fitz Randolph and “his tools" would have a great say in the coming elections.

Michigan governor accused the Republican administration of "completely over emphasizing inflation.
"We have to measure inflation in terms of relative value,” he said. "There may be greater economic challenges which have to
b^ met.”
The governor reported that in I the last 60 years the dollar has decreased in value at an average annual rate of only tvvo-nnd-one-half per cent.
"This is far from dangerous,” he said, "because most econo-j mists consider a five per cent annual deprecation rate to be the beginning of inflation.’'
“Soapy” stated that the maintenance of a growth economy 5s our greatest economic challenge and that “such an economy is essential to a strong civilization.”
Educational Need
The governor also told of the need for increasing government aid to education.
“We are going to move forward to a better life only if we have a well-educated people, and it is the government’s ovoblem to provide the money +o make this education possible,” he explained.
Williams praised California's state scholarship program and said similar financial aid is strongly needed in other-states.
When asked if the increasing role of the government in economic life did not constitute "creeping socialism.” the gover-

Used Books
“We try to oblige the students by selling used books at a mini-mun. We have contacts throughout the United States who buy used hooks so that the students at SC may profit.” he stated.
The off-campus dealer even has doubts about the University Bookstore expansion plan working. He reported that such plans have been tried in other colleges and in most instances have failed.
In the face of .what the bookstore dealer calls “facts.” he remains confident that expansion of the University Bookstore will not damage his business.

Phil osopher Bases Lecture On Abstracts
A philosopher who based hi' work on the theories of Einstein was the topic of vesterday’s Philosophy Forum when Dr. Wilbur H. Long discussed "Samuel Alexander and his book Space. Time and Deity’.”
Philosophy professor Long said Alexander was a "philosopher s philosopher who wrote only for a select few." He went on to describe Alexander's work as "abstract and highly technical.”
In speaking of this scholar's doctrine of Being, the lecturer stated: "If we ask what things are made of, we ask what Being is. Everything is made of matter and energy, we must still ask, what is matter and energy0'’
"Alexander's answer to this.”
Dr. Long said, "was ‘space-time’ or ’Motion.’ ” Like Einstein and Minkowski, psysicist Alexander admits having borrowed from, everything was thought to be fundamentally composed nnly of this. Space-time, in turn, was thought to make up the ordinary objects we usually thing of and deal with.
Mere Space
“To this philosopher.’’ Dr. Long added, "mere space was empty void, mere time a fixed present. Combined. however, thev constituted Motion. r ■ 'cosmic process’.”
The professor also said ti-reciprocal reaction of space on time "pulverize” it into instants.
“Point and instant united, became a space-time event or the ultimate atom.’’ Dr. Long declared.
Turning next to Alexander's theory of cosmic history or "emergent evolution.” the lec-. turer said Alexander claimed new things were constantly emerging into existence. "This was similar.” he asserted, "to Henri Bergson's ‘creative' evolution although Alexander cailed this process ‘emergent’.”
Greek Myths
This theory was also described as similar to ideas found in Greek myths. As an example. Dr. Long cited the tale of gods who were horn out of the river Okeanos. "This.” he said, ‘‘was another form of emergent evolution.”
"This act. in which higher de-I ities were ‘born’ out of what was less divine, was the prototype of Alexander's system.” Dr. Long maintained.
To this philosopher, the doctor continued, progress was something continually occurring. "The work of emergent evolution. Alexander thought "never ended,” he said.
In religion, the next doctrine examined. Dr. Long told how this thinker's approach was "practical" in nature. “God was defined as the object of the religious emotion or of worship . what we worship, that is God.” he said.
