L.T'.nEBS FROM STUDENTS (cont'd) You may ask then why ion't this done? Ky ans^’or would bo that it is bocausG many peoplo do not ..v-n know about the Student Affairs Gorimittoe'. But the big reason is thdt raost of us feel v/e are on our own here at school and we try to go about things in our own way. It is more draiiEtic to v/rite petitions, to organize boycotts and marches and to cause a general fervor. among the students. This is a good way to get attention and public suL'^iort, but lot us look at the words attention and oublic support.V/e want attention or recognition froii thv; administrotion. Well, don't get it. V/e don't get it bocpuse they feel the t there is the Student Affairs Coi;u!.ittee sot up for these problems and if we thtj students want recognition, all we have to do „ii3 "to bring our problems to the com ittce. As for public support... . Hitler hrd public su;' -ort r he v/as erratic and :;iost of all a little off in ‘’His’ thinking, but he had ublic su . ort.

The trouble with followers and joiners is that too often tiicy are just swept al ng with the tide. How many try to find out the frets and analyze then and then form their own opinions? I'm afraid only a few ppo :].o on this campus really jaake an attempt to know both sides of the 'ptory before they become foil wers or joiners. _ ■ V/hat I am trying to get at is that if you really care about whore yoT&" food ■■.^oney gojs, whether the colonnades c.:.ro fixe , or any other S'ondry issue, go about it in the right way through the right channels—in this c'ase 'through the Stud-:.nt Affc irs Committee. -Stanley Switzer INTV:;RVIi;v,' t;ITH SG :.'R;SSI]3.eNT, ^ Tr • 4. by Jack DeVito y/hen Tlr. Buie, v/as asked about the defeated bills before the Senate con cerning the late payment of SG fees, he said that there should bea bill governing laite payment of fees while a more satisfactory bill; is be'ing drawn up. Ho feels that one of the tv/o bills defeated at the last meeting should have passed in order to h; vc some restriction on late payments of SG fees. At the present time, Jir. Buie is planning to v/rite to the Honor ■-Council chaimen at the University of Virginia, Randolpli Mac on, and the University of/North Carolina. He v/ants to invito these people to.our campus to dis cuss , their honor systems with our students. He thinks this v/ill help the ’ student body in deciding v/hat type of honor system they-.wa.nt at "Jlon. Hr. , Buie stated that money will have to be api^ropriated by the Senate in order ' toiijiako this plan feasible, and he wants to form a comxiittee on the matter. i': In:the coming weeks, I'lr. Buie will a.ttempt to establish a new procedure with the Honor Council. He wants each member of the Council to act ater- nately as an investigator t.nd its prosecutor. In this way all members will have equal responsibilities and it it v/ill lessen the burden for its members. This would allow the remaining five members to act as impartial judges.This plan does not need a constitutional amendment, Mr. Buie plans to put this idea, on a trial basis. When asked cert;-in Questions concerning the student body, i'Ir. Buie answered on the basis of Imov/n facts. I asked him obout the recent remarks . by students concerning the meal situation.
