Margaret (Magoo) Brewer To the Editor, The Executive cabinet has per: vcrtcd the foundations of student government. They have usurped our right and have decided that student government is not for ,thc students but is a place to test the effectiveness of “power politics," These budding politic crans have ignored thc rcoucsts and rights of the students in their quest for selfraggi‘andize- rnent. WHEN QUESTIONED about the Missisippi resolution, 104 out of 13:: students requested ‘an all-campus referendum on the ‘issue. The Strident Senate added its unanimous approval of such a l'efelcndum in response the Executive cabinct denied both rccucsts. Boston explained the cabinets action by blaming it on student apathy. This nrust bc false. for by their actions the students have definitely demonstrated their concern. Mr. Boston further complains . of disinterest in student gov- eminent. Yet when interest is finally d'plnycd. he and the exccirtivc cabinet stifle it and promote further disinterest by ignoring the voice or the stu- , dcnls. The preservation of student government lies in on hands. We must express our dissatisfac— tion with this course of events Thc leaders must bc cducatcd in the fundamentals of democratic govcrnnrcnt. Mr. Boston and Mr. incn in st be stopped in thcrr altcmpls to st in the stu- dents of student government. , John D, Harlan ‘ John Pilgrim Tn tlrc Editor: .

Friday, October IZ. I962 FORUM; DiiEENi By Tom Phillips For my initial ioray into tile acid of “columny.” 1 would like to takc up a question which is often found burning upon the nation‘s campuses, and which. i imagrnc, Continues to smoldcr on into later lifc. Thc question be. ing. of coursc, “Which is bettcr, communism or capitalism?" Now rm going to approach this seriously. My friends often tell me that communism is better because: it eliminates selfishness rind competition which result in vicious econ ncmic and social inequalities. That it provides noble common goals instcnd of personal goals And that. by its control of the means of production, it is bets tcr able to comply with actual demand, thus doing away with big surpluses. recessions, and- similar phenomena Now I realize that what my fricnds are doing is describing communism in theory rather than communism in practice, but that doesn't really bother me at all. What really bothers me is that they arc ignoring a big ccntrcl oucstrcn which is also rather obvious, namely, “15 conic munisrn “in” (Or more propor— ly. "Would communism be tum") HERE I‘M GOING to take my stand, 1 like capitalism bctter than communism because the former is more fun than the lat- tcr: that's my stand. And now lct us take some Cesas in point, Last week. aftcr an extended abscncc, the Minncapalrs and St. Louis freight train resumed run- ning through the middle of our- campus as in ola- of yore, And do you know what happened when that first train of the ycai hovc into view? Wcll, about any people empted from nearby buildings and chalged out to the railroad tracks yell- ing and waving. IN THE UNION. a lot of pet)— gatlrcrcd around lhc windows to watch, and among other things they saw one young lady run alongside a boxcar and jump up onto one of those littic ladder-s. People like that train. and now we must attempt to tie- lineate why: partly because of the whistle and the nnise, part- ly because you can wave to the cabooscman and he'll wave back, but mostly because of those boxcars with signs on them: slog-airs like Route of thc Vista-Dome North Coast Limited," or "Ship it on the 'Frisro," or “The Peoria Gate- way," or that very best one of nlL "The Southern Serves the South." Wonderful signs. Ciill forth visions, At this point 1 would like cw cryonc to cast his or her mind back to that Russian movie we all saw in Roberts theater, the one in which we got a good extended look at a Soviet freight train. were all lhc same color, weren’t they? And the same size, And did you per, chance see any picturcs on them, lrkc that mountain goat on the Greal Norther-n bexcars'.’ And would you. my friends, have rim out of the Union with such glee to greet a long. plain. grav freight train? Well. i have another main vclorrs example which conccr a teddy bear 1 won at Concy island. and some very witty Burma-Shave signs which i real- ly should inform gcu or. but I'm afraid that space rcuuln ions preclude such obstr-cpcr sir :. And so, until then. 1 remain. ll ssy Hicks — i think that if the newspapers would stop playing thc situation up, and if the troops would be urtlrdrawn. cvcryzhing would get back to normal The professors and sills dents seem to accept Meredith.
