But how will the bills on free cuts for election campaigning and curfew elimination fare in their 'ordained com mittees? President Jones has already Indicated that the free cuts voted by the elected representatives of the student body will not be allowed.

If the group does n like the suggestion, its members will yav and file it In the trash can. The punchline here is that the body thi could really help student government is th faculty meeting, and the faculty does nc even have to consider any senate bill < resolution. Either there is little con munication between the faculty and studei bodies, or the faculty is as disinterested in i powerless group's suggestions as thi trustees are. The Student Government is then offered choice---it either bucks the system -an keeps bucking until the groups in powc admit that students are worth trusting an listening to, or it puts itself in its own place as a hopeful lobbying body. If Mr. Spears and his cronies have an, credibility, they will stick to their campaigi promise. They will produce that activi government. They will wrest the trust anc responsibility that students can and shouk have from the powers that be. The students shouldn't run the University but neither should the University run the students. Mr. Spears, the students are watching their senate and your office. language requ don school. And many are at U.S.C. because that is what their com panies want.
