Ask Student Power

Curry, Bryan State Views

EDITOR'S NOTE: Following
is the platform staled by Student
Government presidential candidate O. K. Curry and vice presidential candidate Wally Bryan.
We will insure that student
opinion is obtained and is represented to the University administration and the Commonwealth at all times. Students
should be represented and we
should have their opinions before going to the administration.
We will fully utilize the newly created office of ombudsman
in obtaining the opinion of all
students.
We will conduct campus referendum on major student issues
in obtaining the student opinion.
We will frequently publish a
Student Government Newsletter
to more fully inform the students

of the activities of their student
government.
Before Student Government
can do anything for students,

utilize ixnitions of student power and authority on
it must

campus.
We will utilize fully the newly created position of a student
member on the Board ofTrustees
which we helped to implement.
We will insure that the students
are represented in every University policy decision.
We will insure that student
members of University jx)licy-makin- g
committees (faculty, adstudent commitministrative,
tees) are continually representing the students in those policy
decisions.
The purpose of Student Government should always be to
diligently serve the student body
in every manner possible.
Student Government should
fully cooperate with the dorm
governments to the benefit of all
dorm residents.
We will continue our firm
opposition to any action by the

EDITOR'S NOTE: Following is the platform of Student Government presidential candidate Herbert Creech, expressed in his own

1. To give students a chance
to affinn or reject Student

2. To provide an atmosphere

of individualism and

mitories beyond the freshman
year as a flagrant violation of
student rights.
We will cooperate with dormitory governments in procuring
for them the authority to estal
lish open house visitations as
frequently as the dorm residents
desire.
Parking is one of the greatest
campus problems and students
should be directly involved in
seeking solutions.
We will utilize any and all
methods to stop the towing of
registered student vehicles by the
University.
We will utilize any and all
methods to secure the
constniction of parking
towers for student vehicles.
We will sponsor an Academic
Code to accompany the Student
Rights Code.
This code will include a
t-faculty
board empowered to
alter unfair and capricious academic grading.
This code will include the
provision that students be allowed to take one course each
semester, outside their majors,
on a pass-fagrading basis.
We will continue and improve
all existing programs such as
Focus '68, Student Faculty Week,

EDITOR'S NOTE: Following
is the platform written by Student Government presidential
candidate John Cooper and his
running mate Linda Rogers.
We were somewhat dismayed
by the resignation of Dr. Oswald, and we felt that if the
student body led by Student Government would have backed him
in such stands as academic freedom and his stand against the
proposed speaker ban, he would
not have resigned. Hence, the
purpose of our running is to continue through the student body

Should the community college
system have a say in University
politics? At first glance it would
swin that they should not. But
the community college system is
a part of the University, or so
the students have been told. Student governments are functional
only if they are truly representative.
For the last two semesters,
the community college system
has, for all practical purposes,
Ix-e- n

the UK homecoming were not
recognized. We were told that

Student Government mwtings,
he answered with, "What the
devil you will do with these is
beyond my comprehension."
Mr. Curry's attitude only reflects the attitude of the Lexington campus. For the benefit of
all we would like to say: (1)
College students
Community
would like minutes to keep informed on legislation affecting
them now and in the future.
(2) Community College students
would like a calendar of events
to know what is going on in
Lexington so they can make plans
to attend. (3) Community College students want to know who
heads the various student committees in order to have their
questions answered.

The community college soph-

omores would like to see a government elected at the Lexington campus that will lend an
understanding ear to the community colleges and their problems. We do not want to be included in all aspects of government but we do want to be
acknowledged.
For this reason, we urge all
the Lexington campus students
and especially those who have
transferred from the community
colleges to question the purposes
of the presidential candidates in

Mishap In Utah

It is hard to find words to express one's concern for the recent
events in Utah's Skull Valley. There
6,400 sheep suddenly died after the
Army had experimented with nerve
gas just over the ridge on the Dug-wa- y
Proving Ground. No one yet
knows exactly what happened or
why. But that is not the main point;
the chief consideration is that something happened which, by all the
rules of careful civilization, never
should have occurred.
We do not doubt for a moment that the Army and the Pentagon are gravely concerned over
what happened both for humanitarian and for public relations reasons. But being concerned is not
enough. This event must be taken
as another grave warning on the
perils with which mankind is experimenting and which are mounting as natural science comes up
with more and more horrifying weapons of destruction.
This is the third major mishap dealing with such weapons in
two years. The first was the radioactive pollution of farmlands
around Palomares, Spain, in January, 19GG, when three hydrogen
bombs fell there after a midair
refueling collision. The second was

the crash of a plane, bearing four
hvdrocen bombs, on Greenland two
months ago. Understandably, each
of these two incidents startled and
upset countless persons around the
world, even though the crashes
showed that the bombs' antiex-plosio- n
devices were effective.
The Utah event is more serious.
It was a deliberate experimentation
which somehow went wrong. And
while there seems to be evidence
that the sheep were killed because
of special considerations which did
.not affect other living creatures in
the same area, nonetheless no one
can be blamed if they feel uneasy
at the thought that such potentially
disastrous experiments are going
on around them.
The definitive answer to all these
mishaps and perils is, of course,
a rigid worldwide control of weapons and weaponry experimentation. Unhappily, no such blissful
state of affairs is discernible on
the farthest horizon. But this does
not eliminate the obligation for
greater care and concern than have
yet been shown. The events of Skull
Valley are a clear call for greater
wisdom.
