A Deserved Dressing-down
“Well, nowT I suppose you guys have never borrowed any of my
clothes.”
A Good Platform
The platform of UIS, pre
sented Tuesday by Don Col
lin, seems to indicate that Col
lin and others have been do
ing some serious thinking
about what things can actual
ly be accomplished to help the
student.
Any platform, naturally,
must be considered in terms of
what a party “would like to
accomplish.” From past ex
perience, we all know that it’s
far from being a statement of
things “we will see to it are
done.”
But even with this obvious
ly needed qualification, there
are several points in the UIS
charter that we find signifi
cant, encouraging — areas
where interest and pressure
might do some good.
Four items in the platform,
we believe, indicate the nature
of UIS thinking as it applies
to all of us — an improved
foreign student program, de
partmental help sessions, im
proved student wages and
more library time (if desired)
for freshmen women. Three of
the four would effect only seg
ments of the student popula
tion ; all, however, seem worth
areas for consideration and, if
necessary, some realignment.
These four points may seem
the more insignificant ones
when considering thq^plat
form as a whole. They are
- areas, however, where perhaps
investigaton is needed. And,
incidentally, to our knowl
edge, it’s about the first time
these have been mentioned in
anybody’s platform.
Sure, UIS has its statement
of the Millrace park, a North
west Regional conference, a
new football stadium, deferred
rushing and so on. It was pret
ty much expected of them to
make pronouncement on some
of the weightier problems we
have (at least in terms of hot
air expended on them). But
we’re inclined to think it will
be among the less auspicious
demands where (1) a reason
able chance for success exists,
(2) the real interest of a party
is demonstrated and (3)
where, in the final analysis,
one’s party platform will
prove better than the other’s.
UIS’s platform is neither
revolutionary nor completely
original. But it covers many
areas of student life, shows
concern for many groups and
indicates a foundation in some
very solid thinking. It’s a good
platform. AGS people will
have to go some to match it
. . . and we hope they do.

“The Original and Revolution
of the Stars” will be discussed at 8

tronomy at the University of Cal

determined. Previous repair proj
