ASSC Senate Represents Minority, Charges Barnes
(Editor’s Note: This is the seventh in a series of articles by Daily Trojan Senate Reporter Joe Saltzman interviewing ASSC senators for their evaluation of SC’s student government and its role in the university.)
By JOE SALTZMAN Junior Senator - at - Large Dayle Barnes, two-year ASSC Senate member, accused the Senate of “not representing the entire student body,” maintaining that the “senators are being elected by the small minority of students who live on the Row.”
“That is the main reason that the ‘common’ student does not have any respect for student government,” he said. “It is a government in which he has no concern and no voice.”
Barnes, a member of the Theta Xi fraternity, asked. “Why should admin-lstraton and/or faculty be attentive to Senate demands when 37 people, representing 1/6 of the student population, are making these demands?”
Row Government “The ASSC Senate is a row government acting under the auspices of an ASSC title and assuming the idealistic attitude that it is representing the entire student body,” he declared.
“But the matters of student government do not reach the average student and consequently do not affect him.” Although he admitted that the Sen-?<e was “virtually useless.” Barnes maintained that “it is ncgativistic to advo^te complete removal of the ASSC Senate.
“There is a group of responsible people, myself included, who feel that the vreat deni of potential and years can achieve a more of student government,” he

ish motions on the value of senators-
at-large and a hurried convocation permission motion.
“Homecoming has deteriorated from what it was two years ago,” he said. “There is less pageantry, less interest and less purpose and ‘Troyland’ was the equal of my high school’s County Fair, a homely and tiresome activity.”
He said that the senators-at-large are “no more useless than the rest of the voting senators,” and said that his motion regarding a senatorial council was “a foolish motion.”
“But.” he quickly added, “it takes foolish motions to fight foolish proposals.”
Senators Uninterested
Claiming that the Senate was “a homogenous blend of senators constituting an uninteresting group,” Barnes said that it was ridiculous for the Senate to nass a motion saying that the administration should ask their permission before cancelling classes for a convocation.
"It was hastily planned, irrationally delivered and is typical of the inconsistent legislation which has earned the diorecnect of the students, faculty and administration.”
Barnes said that some people will say that “Scott is a good president if the Senate does well and a bad présidait if they continue in their haphazard nath.”
“This is illogical.” he said. “For Scott is not responsible for everyone’s action and ^ 11 voting senators hsve equal power to do with as they wish.”
He produced a three - way formula (although self - admittedly not an ex-5>n l > for a productive Senate—a strong w-tiimm- hand ; di'astic reduction <>i committees; and a healthy, fruitful altitude towards our political system—with these Barnes feels that this year’s Senate could become an effective and productive body.

in the SC Dental School, and Dr. Harbans Bhatia, an assistant professor.
Before coming to SC earlier this year. Dr. Miyamoto had been conducting research of this nature for two years at the University of Illinois. It was Miyamoto who invented and designed the complex mechanical stand used by the researchers to hold the rat in place under the microscope.
It permits researchers, with a turn of a screw, to widen the rat’s jaws, lower or elevate its head and othenvise shift the position of its body in order to facilitate the drilling.
Tiny Teeth
“It takes a steady hand to drill a cavity in such a tiny tooth,” says Dr. Miyamoto. “The stand certainly helps!’’
The rats are anaesthetized during the course of the drilling.
The project has been in progress for the past three months and will be completed in less than a year. The researchers hope to have the results ready to present to this year's national meeting of the American Society of Dentistry for Children in September, whose chief topic of discussion will be tooth pulp.
of the wind. Similar readings will be made on a 10 to 13 square mile area of land.
“We believe there is a definite relation between ocean water temperature and climate.” Stevenson explained, “and we expect to find soil conditions and vegetation directly allied to moisture and temperature and wind conditions.
3-Year Survey Dr. Stevenson made his first observation of the relationship between ocean conditions and climate in 1954 along the coastline of San Pedro.
He is studying the 230-mile coastline and offshore area from Point Conception in Santa Barbara County to the Mexican border for the California State Water Pollution Control Board.
The papers run from 10 to 84 pages and include pictures, charts and particularized scientific data. They can he found in the 300 numbers of the library's stacks.

Faculty Resolution
The controversy began with a faculty resolution introduced in the Faculty Senate on May 21, by Golin Lovell, associate professor of history, which expressed the disapproval of any action taken by the ASSC to conduct an ev
curriculum of the faculty.
It called for faculty members to refuse to participate in such an evaluation, maintaining that students were not qualified.
This resolution was tabled yesterday.
