mittee chairman for UIS.
“The Senate lacks power,"
Wharton believes, “because it
doesn't follow up its issues.” An
example of this, he feels, was
the “two-card” issue, where the
administration overruled a Sen
ate decision to combine athletic
. and studentfcody cards and no
I further pressure was brought to
bear. He is in favor of a Senate
with a more rigid attitude in its
policies.
Wharton is also serving as
public relations chairman for
this year's canoe fete.
The UIS party platform has
not been announced as yet, but
Wharton expressed his “full sup
port of its stands and policies.”
