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

about the Viet Nam conflict, its
history and its implications, may

Forum at 8 p.m. today at 3 Fen

will have the opportunity to ex
press their positons regarding
the conflict and there will be an
oportunity for expression of re
actions to any positions express
ed within the audience.
Panel leaders wil include David
Aberle, anthropology professor
who has been an active partici
pant in debate on the subject,
George Streisinger, a molecular
biologist, and Allen Gribben, an
English specialist.
Spokesmen for the Open Forum
have stated that they hoped for a
healthy and heated dialogue that
will give participants enlarged
persectives on the war. They
also said that members of the
ASUO Senate, a group that is
attempting to formulate a posi
tion on Viet Nam, as well as other
political groups on campus, may
profit from such a forum.

vities apart in South Africa, and
the civil rights problems in Sel
ma, Ala., as issues oil which
the Senate has taken stands in
past years. “There is precedent,”
he contended.
He also argued that many can
didates did run on a platform
of expanding the Senate’s scope
into these issues.
Relevant Issues
“If the electorate desires a
candidate to make his view
known on Viet Nam, they should
ask him,” Goldschmidt contend
AFSC Rep to Speak
Hugh Cummings, regional col
lege program secretary of the
American Friends Service Com
mittee will appear at the Uni
versity today.
He will speak to groups and
individuals about service com
mittee summer and year-round

luncheon at noon in the Student
Union.

Nam, was questioned about it, and ,
took a stand during his campaign
for president last spring.
“The senators want to get the
Senate into relevant issues, and
thus get more students interest
ed in what student government is
doing,” Goldschmidt said.
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.

"If a student doesn't have time
