In terdisciplinary majors must be offered. All mandatory attendance regulations must be abolished. Each student must be consulted in the selection of his academic advisor. "Ill.

"1. Anti-heroin campaign. Why must the students initiate one? The question may be yours - but the solution is ours. We hope to build the best anti-heroin campaign in the U. S. - and reflect credit upon South Carolina. "2. Communications program. Past efforts have failed to present all students with adequate Information. We plan to develop accessibility through TV, radio and govern mental 'position papers' continuously to all students. "3. Institutional reform. We will assist students in examining book store prices (which should be lower), library hours and Russell House hours (both of which should be longer). We will explore new approaches to all night study lounges. "4. Two new cabinet positions. En vironmental affairs and ethnic affairs are both necessary in the light of current developments which are reflected to us in the academic community. "5. Student credit union. Why can't the students have access to a credit union similar to the one already available to the staff? We plan to find out - and work toward having one. "6. Ombudsman. The silence of the past speaks for Itself. Our choke for ombudsman will provide the individual student with a capable and aggressive representative. "7. Governmental reform. Your government will be improved and made to serve you by the simple business-like reforms that should have occurred two years ago. "S. Student unity. All of the programs we strive for are possible only with student unity. We alt must learn to supply this community with the oe major quality which it now lacks - student unity. We are you- candidates because we have demonstrated our ability to achieve this. "We, Wayne Hembree and [Dong Jones, pledge ourselves to this program. We know we have your support for doing so. We are proud to represent you." FRED MAGNER 'The following Is the campaign platform for presidential candidate Fred Magner.

"'7here are some of us in Student Govern ment who are seeking to r1move contri ferM under the aninistratloms arm and put it where it belongs - with the students. We aned student leaders to push student power: those who are on the student level to oak from the students what they want done. It is time to do away with the adinistration pacifier. "Those very reason are why I am running for student body vice president. I oe the problems that exist and so much that we en finally do to solve them.Such as, gsttng a vote on the Bowrd of Trustees. They need to listen to Carolina students - we ae being forced to live by standards not our own. I fa to see the purpose of the Bowrd of Women visitors ast ting the rules for Carolina women to live by. I spoke to the Board of Women vieltors a few weeks ago about theroe of the women of today and particularly on our right to decide *a selves on dorm visitation. When I left, I felt like trash, but I can guarantee that from now on. they will hear from the Carolina woman - students have been behind the sene long enoUgh. "Other schools in the state are hirpoving their GPR system. Again, as quite often is the case. Carolina lags behind. Wt need to expand the pass-fail system, or adopt a system whre an F does not affect the GPR. only the boe earned. Sister is still a problem. We should be able to have beer in the Goden Snr, kitchens in the dorms, and birth control in the in firmary. Town students need to be in corporated more into the Carolina community - just look at the problem they have with parking. A dorm should become more like a home. "'Ibe list could go on and on. I am asking for your vote because I see the problems and I am ready to be your fighter for student power. We can do so very much if only the right people are elected. Carolina needs to become a progressive school. Too much goes on behind closed doors and too many qetlon left unanswered. I intend to open a few doors and find a few answers. Long ago. I learned to fight for student power and now I am asking you to join me in my fight. lam ready toUve a yearno student government hbecane at last we ae ready to make this a student orientaaod campus. JIM PITFMCAN Presidential candidate Jim Pittman's platform is as follows: "Briefly, the presidential program which I shall execute if elected wBi be as follows: "I. A town meetng ofthetuntebody -it is tIme that the snamts bring themselves together in order to confront the central ises by means of debate, rasonning and analysis. "2. Epansion of undergraduate reeareh programs. I feel that many of the metatin lecture courses are antignated and shoted be replaced with a program tailored to the is dividual nen of the student. "3. Reorientation of Stentm ovenmeut.
