With the change of University administration and increases in student body growth, student government is in a position to become a more dynamic and forceful method of organized student expression. CONTINUITY in the Executive Execu-tive Council can be an important import-ant asset in helping to achieve an effective and well organized body to guide student activities. As a member of the Executive Council the past year, many ideas and methods to strengthen strength-en the Council and its effectiveness effec-tiveness are visible. Continuity Continu-ity is important in seeing that student opinion is effectively expressed in many areas such as athletics, finance and stu-dentacuhy stu-dentacuhy relationships. COMMUNICATION improvements improve-ments among campus groups begun the past year and I foresee fore-see new and progressive ways to make communications among groups on and off campus cam-pus more effective. COORDINATION is essential essen-tial for effective and efficient government. Having served as the Challenge Week chairman the past year, I can see the worth of continuing this project proj-ect and coordinating it with other speaking series as just one example of coordination. I sincerely hope that the campaign cam-paign will provide more opportunity oppor-tunity to expand in more detail de-tail on these general areas of Continuity, Communication and Coordination.

Rich Cannon Boyd Dear Editor: Spring elections is a time when we should examine freshly fresh-ly the values in student government govern-ment and emphasize its responsibility respon-sibility both to the campus community and to the community com-munity beyond the ivy walls. The importance of this responsibility respon-sibility is what comes to me immediately as a candidate for ASUU 2nd Vice President I hope, if elected, to meet this responsibility in the following ways: I would like to strengthen leaders hip-orientation programs. pro-grams. In this area, I would like to develop a new program to help undergraduates decide upon a career field without having to exhaust two or more years in determining a major. Also, after working with the foreign students T feel a definite defi-nite need to coordinate the present programs and especially especial-ly emphasize the orientation of the foreign students to both academic and social life. The foreign student faction is significantly signi-ficantly present on this campus out it is one of the most unconsidered un-considered and segregated concerns. con-cerns. I feel I know the responsi- accompanying the office of ASUU 2nd Vice 'President and am sincere in offering my genuine efforts in this direction. direc-tion. I hope that I may be considered con-sidered upon this attitude and platform. Kent Boyd Moss Dear Editor: Student government holds a key role in providing the student stu-dent body with the out-of-the-classroom education that educators edu-cators emphasize as essential in every student's schooling. With the increasing importance of this phase of education, opportunity op-portunity that can be provided for students by good student government are vital: An important function of the Executive Council is to stimulate stim-ulate a certain amount of involvement in-volvement for every student. By providing for participation, adequate programming and coordination co-ordination of activities, through committees and special events, the Executive Council can initiate ini-tiate measures that will more fully develop the student socially, so-cially, culturally, and educationally. educa-tionally. It is the responsibility of the Exective Council and all student government to bring about an awareness on the part of every student, through adequate ade-quate communications, orientation orienta-tion and public relations, of the opportunities and rewards of this involvement. I ask for your support to have a part in this function as ASUU Second Vice-President, to bring about this awarement and involvement, and continue to make student government a a positive factor in promoting a more complete education for every student.
