Student Protests Board s Action By CLIFF 8ANDERLIN Staff Writer A man in a sweatshirt, saying he represented no one but him self, read a statement at the Stu dent Union Board meeting Wed nesday denouncing the Board’s authority. ‘‘I don’t recognize this group as having any jurisdiction over the SU,” he said. “Any action taken by this group is autocratic and illegal, and serves no one but it self.” The man, identified as Lee Feldman, went on to say, “You hold hearings to discuss change. But the only change you wish to discuss concerns change in the game played in this room.” “At the next meeting of the Students for Democratic Society (SDS) I shall introduce the mo tion that the SDS initiate a forum to discuss control of the Student Union and its activities,” Feld man said. Shortly after Feldman spoke, Bob Caufield, a junior and a non member made a recommendation that the structure of the Board be changed. Caufield said the present board was too big. He suggested it be cut in half from its present mem bership of 18. As regarding the election procedure, he suggested that all the positions on the Board be elective and that three should be nominated by the ASUO, two be selected from the faculty, and that four be elect ed from the student body at large. Caufield added that each mem ber should have a two-year term and that the elections should be [ staggered and be held even? two terms. The Board recommended that Caufield come to today’s ; hearings and present his plan. In its regular business meeting I the Board approved plans for the International Festival, which be 1 gins April 13. Among other business, the Board voted to take to the budg et committee a proposal to buy more sound equipment for Mc Arthur Court. According to Dick I Lawrence, a member of the com mittee which investigated the sound problem, if the budget committee acts soon enough, the improved equipment can be in stalled in time for the Mancini concert.
