Party line followers are in heavens tonight. "
Once upon a time a great
American .statesman . (I can't
remember who it was) said that
in this country there were too
many Democrats, too many Re
publicans and not enough Amer
icans. This obvious observation
has probably been made by
many of us in the course of our
twenty years more or less, but
never was it so prominently dis
played as at last: Thursday's
meeting of the Legislature. .
The legislators were not met
there in their capacity as Demo
cratic or Republican sympathi
zers, but they did show definite
signs of devotion to party line.
' Some leader no doubt, thought
out the problem at hand and
having passed judgement on it
decided for the rest of his party
just how the opposing faction

when it squeaks and -repaired
when it is not working at- maxi
mum' efficiency. If the repair
work is not hastened the ma
chinery will rust out of idle
than the wholesome attitude of
representation of constituents.
What is best for the campus is
often left neglected in an effort
to oppose another party's bill,
or to strengthen one's own party
through legislation.
I am in the legislature and
have an opportunity to see the
quibbling that goes on. A few
members of the legislature re
presenting each of the parties
have made an honest effort to
bring about amity betwei the
two groups.
It appears to me that . when
we are in college we should
have fresh ideas about govern
ment and would rebel against
any party line or doctrines set
down by some other person no
matter who he be. Because a
man is" a fraternity man it does
not blind 'him . to the actions of
a- non-fraternity man or dorm
resident. The same should be
true for the representative of
non-fraternity districts. 'But,
unfortunately, it is not true in
most cases and chauvinistic leg
islators let blood with other
party members.
If the members of the legis
lature want1 training in the not
so artistic art of becoming a
politician and pawn of party
leaders instead of utilizing this
s - opportunity ? for creating, good
: 1 government,' then they are fol-
maxi-
mum efficiency of the govern
mental organization. This, of
course, does not mean that there
should be no opposition to pro
posals, but individuals rather
than parties should do the think
ing. '
Party Opposition is excellent'
in government because it keeps
each party on its toes. Competi
tion is keener then government
is cleaner. Drop in on a legisla
ture meeting som'e Thursday
and see just what your represen
tatives are doing with . your..
government.
On Campus
QGDQ !
At Western Michigan College,
Kalamazoo, Mich., - hitchhikers
have been having a little trouble
with the police. There's a . law
against thumbing in that town,
and offenders must pay a $10
fine and cost.
As a solution the Women's
League has provided "ride de
pots", set up at various corners
throughout the town. Students
may legally pick up rides at
these designated spots. ,
, The chief of police added that
hitchhiking "apparently is leal

On Thursday, the Legislature
was reduced to its all too fami
liar station of a political battle
ground. -
, For well over an hour, UP
and SP representatives paraded
to the roster to- tell why the
Legislature-should or should not
be cut from fifty to thirty-five
members. . . -
I wonder if the Legislators
thought whether or not the
cutting of fifteen members would
affect the campus as a whole.
If they did I wonder if it made
any difference to them.
v UP men paraded to the roster.
UP men, said "No" to "the pro
posed constitutional amendment
to cut the Legislature's size.
SP . members paraded to the
roster and said "Yes" to the
amendment.
Not one SP man said "No"
Not one UP man said "Yes".
And five thousand students
will suffer or Jbenefit. Of course,
five thousand people cannot be
contacted by either fifty or
thirty-five members of the Legis
lature. If the Legislators were
to assume that responsibility
every time a relatively impor
tant bill came before the Legis
lature, they wouldn't have time
to eat, drink, or sleep.
Since the final vote was 24-19
in favor of tne amendment,
some UP men must 'have voted
with SP members, but they did
not dare make their feeling
known before the Legislature
during-the discussion of the bill.
Who are the Legislators try
ing to benefit? Are they trying
to benefit the people, as a . whole,
the fraternity men in particular,
or the party?
Or are they simply trying to
benefit themselves?
If they are trying to benefit
the people as a whole, why did
SP members .say "Yes" right
down the line, and UP members
say "No" right down the line?
Is there that much difference
in. the way people look it others
desires? Does being a UP man
make one look at people's de
sires in that much different a
light than do SP members?
No. Either one or both parties
do -not have the student body's
(ALL OF IT) desires at heart.
' If they have only a part of the
student body's desires at heart,
then they aren't doing their
duty.
Remember, it isn't called the
Fraternity Legislature. Neither
is it called the Dormitory Men's
Legislature It's the Student
Legislature FOR ALL THE
STUDENTS
The issue here of cutting the
size isn't the important thing
the important thing is that it
has been forgotten that it is
the Student Legislature.
. But you say the parties are
necessary, and I agree. Without
them conditions would be a lot
worse. But still it is not the
Fraternity Legislature. It is not
the Dorm Men's Legislature.
It is the Student Legislature
FOR ALL THE STUDENTS.
