policy-making, program formulation, and
program development for. next year's

outstanding speakers who can project, in
their particular fields, new and exciting
prospects for thought and discussion.
Students who would like to become
involved with such programming are
invited to attend the April meeting of the
University Forum Council at 2:30 p.m.
on Wednesday, April 15, in the University
Union. At the conclusion of the meeting,
those students still interested in serving
may offer their names for election to the
Council.
This is the first year students have been
openly invited to offer for election to the
University Forum Council.
Communication
Major Issue
By Marcia Walker
Alan Hickok, student party candidate,
wants to help "shake its past image", if
he is elected S.G.A. president.
Alan has served as freshman
representative to the Student Legislature,
Sophomore Class Vice-President, Honors
Counselor of Honors Program; and he was
a member of the following: Rules and
Finance Committee, Union Building
Committee, Health Center Study
Committee, and the University Council.
He advocates more communication
between the S.G.A. President and
students in order that the President
recognizes the needs of the student. Thus
press conferences such as the one in his
campaign, will be continued if he is
elected to allow students the chance to
ask questions in order to promote
communication.
Alan also stresses the fact that the
central student government is separated
from the dorm occupants. Several
members of the student legislature are
dorm residents but their energy is spent
representing their class or organization.
He feels one way to alleviate this problem
is to have an elected dorm representative
to the legislature.
Alan plans to be aware of everything
that is happening. He considers his job as
protecting the rights of the students and
express these rights through resolutions.
"Communication" is the main issue in
Don Stone's campaign for SGA President.
Don is a junior transfer from Furman
University, where he served as one of the
co-editors for the newspaper, the
PHALANX, program director for a club
on campus, and as pledge master for his
fraternity.
He considers his petition and work
with the student legislature to obtain later
hours (1:00 am) for the girls'curfew one
of his major accomplishments at Furman,
considering the rigid rules at Furman.
ED WAYSON, VICE PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE—STUDENT PARTY.
Don Stone, not to be confused with
the former student Ed Stone, considers
himself an anti-authoritarian. This is one
of the reasons *he left Furman. He
opposed the compulsory requirements,
such as ROTC.
Don advocates better communication
between students, SGA, and the
administration in order to accomplish
more for the students. He also believes
that this communication could induced
by holding a forum (gripe session) once a
month, a periodical column written by
the SGA President for the newspaper, and
by making his office open to the public
to promote a better understanding of the
student's attitudes of the prevailing
issues.
Ed Wayson believes that the student
should be considered "first" in campus
affairs.
Ed was not only the Freshman
Representative, but also the Sophomore
Representative to the Student Legislature.
He is presently chairman of the Ways and
IVleans Committee and Course Evaluation
Committee. Ed is also a member of the
Board of Inquiry on the Disruption
Policy, the Environmental Committee,
and is a past member of the Progressive
Political Union.
Ed, by his past achievements, views
himself as a "man of action". He plans to
have legislation passed next year "for the
benefit of the student". He also thinks
that the SGA Vice-President should be
objective and impartial on the legislature
floor while accomplishing this.
Ed pledges to be "directly responsible
to the students", be easily available to the
students, and as a "man of action", be
where the student action is.
He believes strongly that there should
be no faculty control. According to Ed,
the student's life is molded during
college, so the student should be "first on
campus". Since the University plays such
a vital role in the student's development,
the student should have a major voice in
the important issues that will affect this
school.
Rick Norton believes that if students
would speak out, the faculty and
administration would work '^harder to
utisfy student needs.
Rick is a transfer student frorp Central
Piedmont where he maintained the
editorship of the newspaper, the
PROSPECTOR.
His greatest concern is the apathy on
this campus. He believes that the faculty
and administration work hard and would
try diligently to please and satisfy student
needs if only the students would speak
up.
After much observation of this campus,
Rick notices that the majority of students
"just sit back and complain" while only a
few people do all the work. He hopes to
induce student involvement so there will
be a better understanding of the issues at
stake between the eternal triangle of the
students, faculty, and administration.
