At I I New PaHy Set-Up i Is Announced By Bob Sumner . By LOUIS HARRIS Marking a new era. in campus po litical activities Bob Summer, head of the University Party, yesterday, re vealed a complete reorganization of the campus' oldest political party. Summer explained that under the new set-up, key advisors from every floor of each dormitory have offered their services to the central committee of 27 representative campus leaders, in selecting this year's slate of offi cers. No action can be taken by the steering committee unless it meets with the approval of the 70 dormitory representatives. ' REPRESENTATION Each of the dormitory residents in the central steering committee is the chairman of an advisory group, cover ing a complete representation of the upper and "lower" quadrangles.- The central committee members must act as their advisory committees decide, putting the power of authority in the hands of the floor representatives of each dormitory. "Campus politics needed a good cleaning out, and this year the Uni versity Party has hit upon the solu tion. It's about time the average stu dent in the dormitories had some ac tual say as to who should run for campus offices," Summer declared. "A proportionate number, of dormi tory residents-arid fraternity men has been reached in the UP this year, with 7 from the dormitories and 13 from the fraternities. Out of the greater representation, the party hopes to get a slate of officers who represent the majority element of campus life and student opinion. "The reorganization of the Uni versity Party this year is the begin ning of real democracy in campus politics," Summer stated.

Commenting on the foreign policy of the Roosevelt administration, Thomas called it "confused and disor ganized." "I can understand a policy that will keep us out of war; I can understand a policy that will get us into war. But I cannot understand a policy that will get us half way into war," he said. DOMESTIC PROBLEMS He pointed out that the domestic policy of the administration is "much better than we have a right to expect." He 'said, however, that the problems here are of a far greater importance to us than those of foreign countries. "We have more refugees from our own dust bowl than there are refugees from Finland; our unemployed far outnumber all the Einns there are in ythe world!" ' He predicted that in America's un employed youth would be found the foundation for a totalitarian govern ment in the United States, if its eco nomic, problems are not solved under democratic government so -"'that the vast resources of science may be used to produce abundance instead of need. "The real conflict in America is going to be against totalitarianism," he said.
