Candidates for President Present Platform
by Emily Butner
It has been said that the Student
Government Is like a large sym-phony
orchestra. If each and every
player follows the conductor, which
Is our honor policy, the resulting
theme will be strong and unified. If.
however, the musicians disregard
the tempo and melody set by the
conductor, discord is inevitable, no
matter how well they may play
their particular instrument. The
beauty and success of the entire
performance depends on Individual
and group harmony.
As does a symphony, our student
government requires hard work and
determination to produce the de-sired
results. The movements creat-ing
the whole are many and varied.
There are challenges In each one.
I. Honor Board
I recommend that Honor Board
visit the Freshman halls as soon
as possible next year to explain
and clarify the honor policy.
Many students will have never
lived under such a system and
will have many questions in re-gard
to Its operation.
II. Legislature
Students should be urged to
take part in Legislature as inter-ested
citizens even if thev are
not voting members. Through the
CAROLINIAN and signs In the post
office Legislature meeting hours
could be generally known.
III. Social
Elliott Hall needs our full co-operation.
The new program in
a new building sets the stage for
a new era in our cultural and so-cial
life on campus. We have
here a chance to enjoy faculty-student
functions, dances, ex-hibits,
music, art. or just plain
relaxation in the atmosphere that
belongs strictly to Elliott Hall.
What will we do with the oppor-tunities?
j IV. Greater University Council
The Greater University Coun-cil
is a growing organization that
needs our support. I hope next
year will sec the Greater Uni-versity
days carried out success-fully
at all three schools.
1. News concerning the spe-cific
objectives and progress of
the Council printed in the CARO-I
LINIAN will help to make every I
student feel a part of the organi- j
zation.
2. A plan of exchanging fac- [
ulty between the three University
branches for a lecture or a se-ries
of lectures on varying topics
Candidates for SGA Top
Spots State Qualifications
could prove stimulating to the
hearers and lecturers alike1.
V. Music in the Dining Halls
By a public addrcs system mu-sic
could be played during meals.
I believe that such a step, if car-ried
through by sufficient
finances, would not only cut the
noise, but Improve our appetites
and dispositions as well.
VI. Department of Religion
During the Interfaith Forum
the question was raised as to the
possibility of securing a Depart-ment
of Religion on our campus.
The University of North Carolina
branch of the Greater University
has such a department, which is
composed solely of elective
courses. The classes are well at-tended.
One need only to look at
the full-to-overflowing philosophy
classes and the elective course-
In religions to realize that the
growing need must be filled.
The challenges are before us; the
conductor stands ready.'What will
be our melody?

had thought of democracy. I knew
it to be the concept underlying
American government, hut. never

Personal attention and personal
responsibility work together to help

have given me—the confidence and

meant so much to my life that I

school nationally known for its Stu-dent

Each year has been a challenge to
Its leaders and to its members. Be-cause
of the ideas and efforts of
the many before us. we have a Stu-dent
Government which ranks
among the best. It is up to us to
continue to uphold our Student
Government and Its standards. In
order to continue to uphold our
ideas and standards in Student Gov-ernment,
we must strive to meet
each challenge and stand behind
our ideas which make us known for
our "Democracy in Action."

The achievements of Student
Government at Woman's College
are contained in her tradition of
Democracy. We may well he proud
of our Student Government for it

been said that things exist because
they are good and continue to exist
insofar as they get better. Thus, in
fulfilling the responsibility of pre-serving
and enriching the heritage
that will be ours, we must work
toward its constant betterment. And
it will Improve to the degree that
each of us realizes the full measure'
of our obligations toward it. I be-lieve
that the fullest guarantee
against irresponsibility, which
would mean death to Student Gov-ernment
freedom and power, lies in
the constant reminder that the In-dividual
student is most important.
Therefore, we must work for the

deeply felt need The immediate
purpose of S.G.A. is to provide a
means whereby students may or-ganize
so as to be able to partici-pate
effectively in those (unctions
of the college which directly affect
their social, economic, physical, and

Government depends chiefly
on student participation. The degree
to which they participate in policy

as members of il. can be duly proud,
for we and those before us are re-sponsible
for its success and prog-ress.
With the aim always toward
achieving the democratic ideal. Stu-dent
Government is coming increas-ingly
closer. An obvious example
of the freedom in our government
is the procedure this year at mass
meeting concerning constitutional
changes. As new challenges arise
in the coming year we must be
equally as alert to need as those be-fore
us have been.
Student Government affects every
phase of campus life, and because
of this, each student is essential to
Us functioning. It is vital to the
democracy of our government that
every student be made aware of
Hnued on Page Tioo)
should like to see a policy worked
out by which there would be more
freedom of communication among
the clubs on campus and by which
more students could be included in
the various activities.
To afford more individual atten-tion,
to the freshmen especially, I
should like to see a definite, uni-form
plan of assistance in the me-chanical
aspects of the residence
halls, in order that the house presi-dent
might be freer to give added
personal attention and counsel to
Ithe girls in her hall.
With the added facilities of El-liott
Hall, I hope to help incorporate
the student body as a whole in the
functionings of the Student Gov-ernment
Association. To have more
students visit Legislature, to have
every girl experience the student
I government in action, and, finally,
to make each and every student
aware of her part as a vital member
in Its organization—these are my
arms.
Underlying the entire effective-ness
uf student government, there
must be mure than definite plat-forms
concerning issues which arise
year by year. This "more" is to be
found in those intangibles basic to
and inherent in our life at Woman's
College. To create in every member
of tfiis college campus a feeling of
"individual responsibility, loyalty,
and honor" . . . This is my ideal. . .
