O~CP.[nher_ 1973 POLEMIC The following proposals will no doubt be disagreeable to many people but they are long overdue and quite necessary if this institution wishes to move ahead and not be bogged down with out of date policies and regulations that play a harm- ful role, if any, in a person's education. First. the present parking policy of segregated parking lots is totally un- acceptable and must somehow be revised. After carefully considering this problem, I could come up with no reason for placing students in one lot and faculty and administrators in the other t"Y-9 or three lots, except possibly, as a symbol that they are our superiors and so we must maintain the status quo. It is my feeling that no one is my superior or entitled to anything extra (like parking privileges) because of age, title, or posi- tion in the social stratum. It has been ately for many that's when it begins), but continues throughout the day and night. Therefore the dorm should be direct learning experience of how to re- late to others, what is involved in making decisions that others must live by, concern for the rights of others and so on. A per- son learns respect for others by respecting others, he learns respect for those govern- ing by playing a part in the governance. Allowing the students to create the poli- cies would place a large burden on them, but isn't that the best way to learn? Once put into practice this idea would not seem as idealistic. The people who must live by the rules must play the major role in determining those rules and not just an irrelevant figurehead part.

Page 3 Cafeteria Sweets For the majority of college freshmen the transition to dorm life and cafeteria style eating can be quite a change. Even if the food isn't quite as good as mom makes, it's those sweet gals behind the counter who can make the difference. I am referring to the gals who tell you good morning at 7 :00 a.m., even though you may not feel so good; who try and spectators alike.

Secondly, the people who live in the dorm must be allowed to govern them- selves and make the policies they must live with. As it is now, the administra- tion sets policies that are stifling to the people and frustratingly hard to enforce by the resident advisors. The administra- tion feels the policies are fair and reasona- ble, I'm sure, but the people being con- trolled by them do not. A person's education does not stop when he leaves the classroom (unfortun- There are many other problems troub- 1 ing this institution, as I'm sure you're aware of, but from the students view these require the most immediate atten- tion. We are not the "third power" in this school, and our needs to avoid further aggravation. Anyone desiring to discuss these de- mands can see Bob Atkinson or be present at the student Senate's regular 4:00 p.m., Thursday meetings at the Red Carpet Room of the Student Center.
