James Leap, EDITORIAL In this papers fight to obtain more students rights and academic freedoms through more responsibilities, it and authority, to accompany these responsibilities, it is felt that the students should be apprised of their responsibilities. This editorial will attempt to suggest measures that the students and in particular the student leaders can undertake to help assure and prepare themselves for the addition of responsibility and authority that the administrators of this college cannot help but grant if they are to continue to see this college grow. First, the members of SGAC must look to programming that will give the studentbody instruments by which they can further their student rights. One such measure would be a student court. A student court would give students a greater and more objective way of handling problems concerning both dorm and town students. Second, the student government association must begin programming along lines that will promote leadership-within the studentbody and greater diversity in activities. Third, the present student leaders must appreciate their responsibility to the students in their particular group by keeping these people informed as to the current events in campus activities and to obtain their suggestions pertaining to the pertinent activities. This will give student government a wider range of student opinion which will enable them to program in a range that will be of interest to the majority of students. Along this line, there is a responsibility placed on each and every student to see that his or her representative is properly representing them . If we, the students, are to obtain the additional responsibilities and authority wanted, we must begin to show the administrators that an earnest attempt is being made to utilize the authority and responsibility that we now have. Only if YOU are ready to accept additional authority can YOU ever expect to have it given by the extra-curricul- ar college. Whether or not your future actions. YOU are ready will be shown by Letters To The Editor Everything the student needs to know about military service and how to make the most as well as the best of it is set forth in a complete and authoritative book published today. THE STUDENTS GUIDE TO MILITARY SERVICE by Michael Harwood (Channel Pres, Manhasset, N.Y., hardcover $5.95, paperback $2.95) brings together for the first time detailed information on the hundreds of alternatives open to draft-agstudents, in addition to (answering such questions as: e How can a student continue his education while in service?
