This system allows any eligible student to nominate herself for an office if she gets 10 per cent of the student body's signatures on her petition. The petition system words at other schools but has had a slow start at Salem. ,\t Hollins all offices are filled by petitioning nomi nees. At Salem, few if any nominations are made by petitioning. The student body nominated eligible students for office on Feb ruary 14. ,\t the time of nominations, several students’ names were omitted from the eligibility list. These students were interested in running for particular offices. Other interested students did not receive enough votes to be considered nominees for offices. Under our petition system all of these students may still be nominated for student government offices. The nomination petition ing began on Friday. Feb. 16. This will continue for two weeks dur ing which interested students can circulate a petition among her friends. One irate student who wanted to run for office complained that the petition procedure is "too much trouble.” That idea is absurd. .A student merely must approach the elections committee with her desire for candidacy. The committee has petitions already drawn up and they circulate them after the potential candidate sign them. Is this difficult? Pot Disturbs Sleep Galveston.

Traditional Requirements Burlington, Vt. - (EP-) -- "This has been a year for debates about academic freedom at the University ot Vermont, ob serves Dr. Dean C. Corrigan, dean ot College of Education, in a recent paper entitled “Aca demic Freedom tor Students. “It’s interesting to observe that most of the comments 1 have heard focused on academic freedom for faculty. Very little, if any, of the dialogue has con cerned itselt with the issue of academic freedom for students. It appears as though the Univer sity of Vermont academic com munity has not yet come to the realization that the freedom ot both students and faculty is re ciprocal, any restriction on the students’ freedom to learn will inevitably adversely affect the professors’ freedom to teach.” Excerpts follow: Even though they should be self-evident, some basic value premises that are essential for academic freedom of students are worthy of mentioning here. The students’ freedom to learn is a complement of the faculty member’s freedom to teach. An academic community dedicated to ideals will safeguard the one as vigorously as it does the other. All college programs should be predicated on the notion that the individual student is an intelligent, resourceful human being, capable of making decis ions about his own education. Students must have an oppor tunity to reject what they con sider irrelevant. The only way students, or for that matter any of us. learn to be responsible is by having a chance to be irresponsible. Responsibility is learned by having the opportunity to make choices and deal with the con sequences. One student, who dropped out recently, stated the problem of relevance to me in this way, “My university education has prepared me for the best of all non-existent worlds. I’ve got to ‘leave the womb’ and see if I can do something.” In today’s world as the VISTA motto says, “If you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem.” Camus states the challemge of this par ticular time in history and its consequences in his book. Re sistance, Rebellion and Death. Because information now be longs to everyone (the mass me dia has seen to that), there is no such thing as inaction. Once knowing and not acting is in fact an action. One chooses not to act. The excuse of not being a- ware as a reason for inaction is no longer valid in our world. There is much reason to be lieve that the present-day dis satisfaction with our education system stems in large measure from one simple factor. That is, that our society offers but one legitimate, sanctioned occupa tion for its youth, aged 12 to 22 - attendance at school. For the past ten years, I have talked with school superinten dents about running essentially custodial institutions. They re sented my remarks, but today are the first to make that very point. The same thing can now be said of the colleges. Presently in our universities, we have enclaves made up of stu dents who have learned to play the game of disinterestedness. In such circumstances, there is an alienation of the mind. Wliat is missing is something in which to believe. Youth who have been kept away from the work-a-day world have never had Way to feel they can do something to help their generation survive. Ed- ucation must change. It must help our young people develop a sense of belonging to a com. munity in a proud way. of cabbages and kings by Sarah Dorriar Contrary to popular belief, all those social psychology question naires you find in your boxes every year really ARE used for some thing besides scratch paper! One of my psych major friends sug- gested that 1 might find some interesting tidbits in the pilot studies, so I went off in pursuit of Dr. Karnes. After rummaging around in her office we finally reached the conclusion that the folders of pilot studies were in Mrs. Mock’s office. They were. I’ve read through reams of them, and here are the resulting tidbits! In a survey of Salem and WFU girls, twenty-nine Salem girls thought the honor system was effective and respected as compared to only nineteen WFU women. As for student government, 32 Sa- lemites thouglit it necessary and effective while only 25 WFU women responded positively. On the subject of transferring from Salem: The reasons in order of their importance are: a better department in a major social opportunities academics co-ed element expenses planned to transfer after two years 15 of 25 students transferred to in-state universities What about post-college plans? Seniors and freshmen were asked three questions. Here are their responses. 1. What do you hope to be doing the September after you graduate? Seniors: Career with marriage Travel Freshmen: Travel Career with marriage 2. What do you really and truly think you will be doing the September after you graduate? Seniors: Career without marriage Career with marriage Graduate School Freshmen: Career without marriage and career with marriage (tied) Travel 3. What do you think you will be doing ten years fi now? Both chose: Career with marriage and kids Marriage with kids Conclusion: Not so many southern girls go to college with the big goal of snatching a husband as some people claim.
