The group approved a resolu tion encouraging "each circle to work actively to h a v e students among those responsible for deter mining the rules and regulations affecting the several aspects of the student's life on campus." At the Friday night banquet, Prof. James Dickey spoke. Dickey said that we hear so much about the left and right in our society that we don't know where the center is. "Security is not possible." He added that the American stem is one of greed, or as Gen. Eisenhower said, "enlightened self interest."

Can't Comj BY KITTY McCASKIIIL Staff Writer Ra Broaddus, president of the University Union, and Vice Presi dent Ralph Hall resigned Friday at a meeting of the Board of Gov ernors after a special subcommit tee to evaluate the Union had sub mitted its report. The resignations follow a chain of events which began Dec. 3 when the Student Senate asked for an evaluation of the Union by Union officers. The officers made their eval uation in a letter to the vice pre%j dent for student affairm. It asked that the Union be strictly a pro. gramming organization and that the present director and assistant director of the Student Union be titled Russell [House or student services director, separate from the Union. The letter asked for separate budgets for the Union and for the Russell House or Student Services and also for an adviser to be ap pointed for the Union. The letter, signed by Broaddus, Hall and six U n i o n committee chairmen, said if the points could not be enacted by the end of fall semester "we owe the S t u d e n t Body the courtesy of our resigna tions from positions which need not exist in the present Student Union structure." Charles H. Witten, vice presi dent for student affairs, responded by referring the matter to the Board of Governors, the policy New IDs Being Made This Week Students and s t a f f members still without new II) (ards can have them made this week at the computer center in the Physical Sciences Center.

It will take about a week to get the new cardls back from the processor. l)r. William J.

Tbe charges include unauthor ized fund-r'aising activ-ities; unauo t horized speakers; bills owed t he U n iversity d tistribution of a news letter "considered in poor taste"; andi failure to sign a previous statement of intent. Witten said the most serious violations concerned unauthorized speakers on camp)us. He said there were also "num erous minor violations w h i c ht showed a p)attern of irresponsibili ty and disregard for University regulations." Witten said no othter organiza tion has been required to submit a letter of intent, but he added "no other organizntion ha. said 0 sident posed flail Say uromise making body of the Union. A subcommittee was then set up with Bob Salane as chairman to make recommendations to the full board. The committee held six meetings, he a r d testimony from witnesses, and unanimously submitted their report Friday. The report said that constitu tionally the president of the Union has a tremendous potential for student responsibility, although it acknowledged that "this constitu tional structure is not always fol lowed." It said the committee felt divid ing programming and service or ganizations w o u I d "counter the overall purposes inherent to our University Union." It also said that since this division was not necessary, neither was a t i t I e change. In reply to the point of separate ) u d g e t s the committee recom mended that the Union budget be "internally subdivided i n t o two categories." Broadds said, "In my testi mony to the subcommittee I said the only point I demanded was the title change. No student or ganization needs a professional director. Tley didn't do it. They though I would compromise but I couldn't." "The subcommittee said advisers should not run the show. I think they're really backing up my point but they don't offer a solution as I did. There is no need for us as the committee chairmen to go to see the director for the f i n a 1 word." Hall commented, "T h e budget concession is a fine concession but there still could be a play between budgets and it wouldn't work. "The success of the system is based entirely on whether the peo. ple get along personally. What we wanted was for it to be run like the business it actually is. It now just doesn't run as a business," he continued. David W. Phillips, director of the Student Union, said, "As I told the Board of Governors Friday, I am sorry that they resigned. The sulommittee w a s unanimously adopted by the Boardi. Ra and Ralph felt that their philosophy differed fromi that and personally I'm sorry' that they did."

Lentions the'y would not abide by regula ions." JIon Kraus, instructor in the depiart ment of international stud es and adiviser to AWARE, called the commi ttee's action '"capricious andi undeliberate use of their au thIorit y.'' lie said the University needs "explicit criteria of what t h e y (AWARE) did that was so hor re'ndous." "Thle main thing that bothers them is that they think the leaders of AWARE will not abide by Uni. versity regulations," he said. Kraus said the letter spoke of "further violations" when the Uni versity "has not indicated the orig inal violations outside of unau thorized sneakarL"
