EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ASSOCIAT Sally Zalkin like Kr Tomorrow This is the voice of Elections Past speaking to you from the dismal prospect of history. We elections lead a hard life-one min ute we're the talk of the town and the next we're being swept so far under the rug we don't even see the dirt that always ends up there. The losers get rid of us because they are humiliated and want to forget the things they said in the futile effort to get elected. The winners get rid of us because they want to forget the things thvy said to get elected. Then, of course, all the voters blame US for what happened. I'm tired of it, do you hear? I'm just the sum of all the parts, and the parts are VaOTS--yius and the other voters'. I just want to be liked. Will you like me? All you have to (o is get out and COREY ENTE P UNI VERSE!

The sub-committee is to be composed of three students anti three trustees and will meet regu larly to allow for an exchange of ideas between students and the Board. POSSIBILITIES Tom, if this passes, it will really be a step -forward, and you are to be congratulated for the idea and thanked for the hard work. The possibilities of this new channel of communication are staggering. Students, through their elected representatives, may now speak directly to the policy:lmaking body of the University! For too long have students, through their legislators, been forced to wade UTH'S LARGEST P1 IZATION OF POP ED to tite PH CAR1 1ANCE IN SOUTH E BEAUTY'S C AIN'T TOO DON'T LOC IT'S YOU TI BABY MUST BE A MAGI4 BUY'a BE ASI E UNIVERSITY OF S .LOUT CONCEReTS ipears To through exhaustive levels of red t tape, better known as the "chain t of command." If the Board is receptive and f not resentful of the student power, " if the students' spokesmen are t sincere and cooperative and can remember that, though they are a power, they are only one of the powers that be, then we of the t student body can look forward to a stronger and better Carolina community. t POINTS OF POWER There are three main points of power on this campus below tia. Board of Trustees. They are fac- c ulty. administration and st.udent body. Without the students, of course, there is no university. Without the faculty we would have only our >ooks, and that would make for a very (ull learn ing situation. The administration is to aid the process of education t by smoothing the way and main taining a balance between the t student and faculty powers. Of the three points of power it is the only one that is expendable. Now a question: who, of the three, holds the majority of powe r on THIS campus? The adminis ROMOTIONAL ITERTAINMENT OLINA CAROLINA )NLY SKIN DEEP PROUD TO BEG K BACK HIAT I NEED :IAN lOW AND ~URED OF )D SEAT OUTH CAROSIAA The Poii ration holds '70 per cent, the fac ity 25 per cent, and the student ody 5 per cent of the really en orceable authority, and I per onally question the wisdom ol his arrangement. (The preced ng percentages are my own esti uiates, after personal experience ,s a member of student govern nient and conversations with fac Ilty.) In acquiring an education it i6 he student who stands to gain he most, and the faculty that ives the most. Isn't it reasonable hat these two bodies combined hould have more than thirty per ent of the power? For the position that the fac ilty has been placed in we can be .ngry; but we cannot be too in ensed at our own student po ition. In years past student gov rnment was often guilty of being .n exclusive social club, rathet han an effective voice for tht tudent body. As powers presente( hemselves, and student govern ient did not seize them, they fell aturally to the administration; hus arose the unbalanced and nhealthy situation that exist oday. A TIME FOR CHANGE Now it is time to realize thal oth the times and the student ave changed. If Carolina is to be ome a 'niversity of high nationa tanding, as it was in its early lays (and it is moving toward thai oint once more), then every(( nvolved must realize that edu. ational superiority will be a facl nly when education becomes the nost important item on this cam us.

Students must be treated as individuals seeking knowledge -not children to be looked after. It was different when we were a small southern school; moral views were generally alike, and uniform rules could be set up within these views. But morality has never been an enforceable item, and it is very little business of a university's anyway; its pri. mary responsibility is education. If students don't like the food service, then why not change it? It is not a sacred institution. The only sacred items on the uni versity campus should be educa tion and the freedom to become educated. That is what the ad ministration should be doing - acting as a watchdog to insure that nothing inhibits, or prohibits education. STUDENT POWER All of the other extras that attach themsel%es to college life should be in the realm of student power. Whether it is beer on v-am pus or Slater food service or foot ball tickets, let the students decide through their representa tives. We make up the University, it is our money and our parents' taxes that it spends. Other than faculty salaries, why shouldn't we control what happens to our money ? If student government is not given the power of the purse and authority over all non-educational aspects of college life, then why not dissolve it entirely? To gov ern is to have the FINAL SAY, and at the present we may only suggest--and pray. sents LN LASAGNA CIAL PRICE EDNESDAY .50 also the home of ill Come Back For."
