Dialogue Debates Senates Stand • • • (Continued from ['llgc 1) Goldschmidt replied later in the discussion that a referendum would be difficult. “What kind of a question do you ask?” he said. "Yes and no, get in or get out—two or three al ternatives aren't practical. 1 doubt if you can list all the possible al ternatives feasibly on a ballot.” | Former Stands The best way, Goldschmidt said, is to “open up hearings where any student can come in and make his views heard.” Goldschmidt said he feels the issue is not taking a stand on Viet Nam but whether the Sen ate should take stands on non - campus issues. He cited Senate stands in past year on the House Committee on Un-American Acti Forum Airs Views On Viet War Today Students interested in learning about the Viet Nam conflict, its history and its implications, may listen to The Viet Nam Open Forum at 8 p.m. today at 3 Fen ton Hall.

McKenzie refused to accept Goldschmidt’s statement that there was sufficient precedent for the Senate to take stands. “The precedent we re looking for is the politization of the Senate,” he said. He explained that he meant that senators should run on political issues and cam ! pus political parties should be formed to “channel" the Senate s political discussions. ‘Too Thin’ Goldschmidt responded that the , Senate must first take stands on | issues like Viet Nam. One questioner from the audi ence argued that the Senate is I “spreading itself too thin,” that j senators don’t have time to dis cuss local and national issues. He said local issues were “lying dor mant while the Senate concerns | itself with Viet Nam.
