GRUBBS ASSERTS PARTY POLITICS OVER-EMPHASIZED Candidate Outlines Faults In Current Government Set-Up Reddy Grubbs, Carolina party can didate for president of the student body, last night released a short dec laration, setting forth his reasons for running and enumerating what he be lieves to be faults in the present sys tem of student government on the campus.. . . . . . Grubbs declared that this, an nouncement was not in any way a campaign platform, but merely an in dication of his feelings.

I am happy to know that there are no political strings or obligations, that there . is and would be nothing but capabili ties to influence in the selection of important student body committees, such as the Student Advisory com mittee, the Student Audit board, and the Student Entertainment commit tee. Few students realize the full importance and authority of these groups and if one would stop to in vestigate 'such they would be amazed to find how much they are individually affected by the functions of these com mittees.'

Your student body pres ident exercises no direct control over these groups, but can use his influence to a good advantage. "At times, to my deepest regret, I have seen decision-rendering groups fall far short of their objectives and completely shatter their self-imposed standards of student government, on ly because they were controlled by cliquish sets within the group.
