Smith’s" Platform Calls For
Writing New Constitution
(Continued from page 1)
avoid being entrapped by tri
vialities.
There are a number of ways
which I can proposed to change
this attitude. Mostessentialisa
revision of the St. Andrews
Constitution which would fulfill
the present Constitutional re
quirement by e 1 i m i nating re
dundancies and systematically
including all amendments. It
would also require intensive
work on the structure of the
Constitution itself. My attitude
toward the present Constitution
is somewhat negative because
I have recently seen that the
student is faced with the dile-
student is faced with the dilem
ma of either obeying the Consti
tution because it is the law or
having an effective student gov
ernment. Admittedly, there is
some middle ground here--the
present system is not all bad,
but it is conducive to a very
linear type of student develop
ment.
The next step in altering the
attitudes ofboth students and fa
culty, which sees students as a
relatively imporant group who
are concerned first-off for their
own well-being and content
ment, would be for each student
to acknowledge that he/she is
a world citizen not simply a
part of the St. Andrews com
munity. This would entail a
growing awareness of such
thing as the ecological dilemma
— particularly as it relates to
St. Andrews. An increased con
cern toward issues which fall
outside of both the courses in
a student’s major and his play
time activities; yet, which are
nonetheless, an integral part of
life would display the feasibility
of a broader curriculum. New
courses such as communica
tions, organic gardening, and
furniture making, which would
tend to make the student a use
ful part of his society, could be
offered.
I firmly believe that if the
students were to show in a con
structive fashion that they were
interested in activities which
were not totally oriented toward
themselves as individuals the
faculty and administration
would then grant such things
as dorm autonomy with much
less “red-tape” than in the
past. If they did not it is my
feeling that we would have
legitimate grounds for de
manding more authority within
the mechanics of the institution.
The above outlines the prin
ciples on which I intend to run.
The individual issues are al
most infinite in number and will
have to be dealt with a few at
a time, but my primary interest
is in changing the general at
titude of student government so
that it will realize its potential
and thereby be able to deal with
the particular issues.

several ideas; contract grad
ing (at least experimentally),
voter registration, increased
health servics. I also want to
see students on the college’s
budget committee (I still haven't
gotten over the new furniture
for the Student Union!); students
incorporating their priorities
with those of the administra
tion may save this “blessed”
chapel from being nicknamed
“Cobweb Hall." I want very
much to try student-managed
dorms. The maids are extreme
ly overworked and many stu
dents are interested in using
their hands as well as their
heads. I want the used book
store back in operation with a
place to store books between
semesters.
No matter the outcome of this
election. I’ll be doing these
things. The only question is
could I do them more effec
tively as president?
THURSDAY, APRIL 27,
Hartke Promises End To
Ineffective Government
conservative tide of influence
that says we will be all right
only to find we’re stuck with
no choice (i.e. bad food).
The signs I put all over cam.
pus were put up not to voice
my beliefs but to show you that
I have the will and the desire
to be President. It looks to me
like a ten dollar money dona-
tion to charity is a political
gimmick, otherwise it could
have been donated long before
election time and it would not
have been played up so big as
an election issue. I do not
think St. Andrews needs any
more tricks and games. I want
to get some things done, I have
some new ideas that I want to
introduce and I want to inform
the students as to what’s going
on in the Student Government.
(Continued from page 1)
The individual student has
become socialized to believe
we have what we want. I do not
think we do. There are many
things which the students have
been forced into this year.
These things have now become
problems. If I’m elected Presi
dent I would like to see:
1) Either better food or no
requirement to pay for it.
2) More parking lot security
from theft and destruction of
property.
3) Contraceptive devices
easily attainable from the
clinic.
4) More hours for the use of
the library and bowling lanes to
the students.
5) An efficient clinic and a
doctor at a reasonable hour.
And I would like to propose
some new ideas for considera
tion by the students.
1) A pass/fail system for
required courses.
2) A professor selection guide
to help understand a profs
teaching methods.
3) A stamp machine in the
Student Union.
4) A three member student
advisory committee to the
President for the assurance
of a Student Government next
year.
Some of these ideas may be
voted against by the student and
never get off the ground. How
ever If even one of these Ideas
is adopted by the students it is
ernment is doing now.
H I’m elected President, the
students are going to benefit
from this student government.
The students on this campus
will be able to come to me or
any member on my newly
formed student advisory com
mittee to the President and rec
ommend ideas. These ideas can
help us and release us from this
