Show Letters to the EcKtor rect conflict with Challenge Week activities. If the concerned students stu-dents of the campus are to become be-come acquainted with the issues and candidates, it is apparent that they will bypass Challenge Week speakers. If not, they will attend the Challenge Week events and let the candidates speak to themselves. them-selves. The Union Building is completely com-pletely booked for Challenge Week. Therefore, it will not be available for any use by the Election Elec-tion Committee and the candidates. candi-dates. It is my hope the scheduling of University activities by the Campus Cam-pus Affairs Board will consider events such as Challenge Week when scheduling the elections. With the student interest at heart, complete exposure could be possible. 1 1 sick that you , sent the Liberal eC University.

Editor: In the letter of March 5, submitted sub-mitted by "members of the SDS," it was stated that "academic freedom free-dom is a myth." I think that several sev-eral questions should be proposed to those opposing the educational prospectus at this or any other institution of edification. First, did you not in fact submit sub-mit an application to the university univer-sity you now attend? Second, upon receipt of acceptance did you not register in the educational curriculum of that institution? In receipt of acceptance, if you as a student were not prepared to accept ac-cept the school administration governing these classes, then why did you endeavor to attain student stu-dent status? If the academic freedom free-dom you desire is a myth at this institution then why remain? Why not leave this institution in its ignorance ig-norance for those piteous students who believe that it does offer the curriculum that is enlightening and necessary to their pitiable personal per-sonal satisfaction? If you are unable un-able to accept the administration or the educational program governed gov-erned by that administration then by all means move on to an institution insti-tution which will offer the academic aca-demic reality you seek. GREGORY L. WHITING BILL THURMAN CHALLENGE STEERING COMMITTEE No revolution Editor: To Roger Ekins: No I am not pleased that the Major called your home and called you a traitor (or whatever he allegedly called you). I believe you have a right to your own opinions. I am displeased at the altitude you take (as do all other Far Left believers) that you are a "misunderstood" minority who only want to help America. If you call the murder of policemen police-men by Black Panthers "justifiable" "justifi-able" because of the "oppression" in America, then 1 consider your motives not honorable. Revolution is not what this country needs now. We need a liberal government that will move this country to a new era of equality equal-ity for black and white, poor and rich. If you are proud of your actions, let me remind you that many thousands of American patriots died just so you can live in a society where change is readily available by voting. The whole Far Left smells Red. Parking report Editor: On behalf of the r Plannmg and Traffic Com!' would like to thank you fo,f extensive coverage of ourrtr which appeared in Thu Chronicle.

NOEL DE NEVER.-CAMPUS NEVER.-CAMPUS PLANNING CHAIRIB Election apathy Editor: The day after the elections for the Student Executive Council of the College of Business the day's chuckle in the "Tribune" struck a familiar chord to that election. The chuckle was as follows: "There's a great deal of talk about apathy in our universities. So 1,000 students were asked if they were apathetic; 44 said yes, 69 said no and 887 had no opinion." Out of the 2200 enrolled in the College of Business 182 or eight percent voted and three of the six candidates ran unopposed. I wonder, with a representation like this, if a decentralized, college-representative government would be any more effective than our present student-governmental organization? GREGORY M.GUNN Election date Editor: The scheduling of the primary elections during the first week o April is a mistake. Part of the Uni versity's responsiblity to the stu dent and community is the pre sentation of views from outsidi sources. Challenge Week is a gooc attempt by the University to expose ex-pose these nonresident viewpoints. view-points. This year Challenge Week has scheduled a number of interesting inter-esting and provocative national figures to speak during the week. The students who are interested in this type of exposure will naturally natur-ally attend if the trend of past years holds true. With what appears to be greater emphasis on issues of this year's ASUU elections there seem to be some conflicts in the scheduling. sche-duling. If elections issues are to be discussed on a forum basis, then their scheduling would be in di- |
