Statue: A question was
asked about the statue of
M. B. Lamar to be erected
on the campus. Jim Smith
explained that it had been
decided to construct a bust
of Lamar rather than a

mittee of five facuity
members, five students and
one advisor made this
decision.
The members of the
committee were Samuel
Evans,Dr. Paul Issac, Mr .
Joseph Lambert, Dr.
Ralph Wooster, Randy Best,
Gary Friedman, Jim
Roberts on, Carolyn Ott,
Jim Smith and Miss Elsie
M. Ware . Clyde Bullion
from the Art Department

The bust will have a
granite base with the head
done in bronze. It will
m e a s u re five feet by two
and one-ha If feel. The
base will be about five
feet tall.
Information and pictures
about Lamar have been
o b t a ined from Austin and
will be used in the con-
struction. The bust will be
created by Mr. David
C a r g il of Beaumont. The
fact was mentioned that
Mr. Cargil is the only
s c u 1 ptufer in the state of
T e xas who can do his own
bronze work. Others must
send t heir work to Italy.
Work has not begun because

EDITORIAL
The general election is now underway. Now, is the
time for the dissatisfied to stand up and back the
candidate of their choice. It is easy to sit back
complacently and complain about the existing order
and view with pessimism the- oncoming year. Yet, it
is a little harder to stand up and work for a cause in
which we believe.
If we cannot campaign, we surely can go to the polls
and e xercise the right and privilege of the vote for
which we cry so loudly. It is only through a repre-
sentative vote that a truly representative leader will
be elected.
In an election, much attention i's given in speeches
and campaigns to qualifications of the candidates.
However, if a survey were taken, it would probably
show that the electorate in the majority vote, not for
the qualified, but for the "good guy."
Experience is perhaps the most necessary of all
requi rements for any leader. Without it he cannot
pos sibly know the responsibilities, headaches, and
problems he will meet. Without this knowledge, an
administration will meet with many pitfalls. Besides
this quality, a leader should have a congenial per-
sonality . Remember, our leaders will represent
our school and if the trend continues, Lamar will be
receiving more and more public recognition and our
representatives will be brought into closer contact
with officials of the city and of the surrounding area.
They m u st be able to represent Lamar in the best
possible manner.
A leader must also have the desire to do a good job.
Without this element, all of the others would be to no
avail. Integrity, high ideals, and loyalty are other
traits that go without saying.
We have tried to show the importance of the campus
of the campus elections and the qualities students
must seek in candidates for any office. Lamar can
and must move ahead in the future. The Student
Association must definitely move forward. The
officers who are elected will, in a large part, hold
the future of that organization in their hands. Will
they be capable hands? That is up to us.
Petition Brought Before Senate
The following is a petition
w h i ch was brought before
the Senate Monday by
Lawrence Farr, a repre-
sentative of the Canterbury
Association. The petition
reads as follows:
Art. ili sec 313
Committees:
A committee appointed to
do house business must
submit its plans for
m a j o rity approval of that
house. A commit tee
appointed to do student
association business must
submit its plans for
majority approval of each
house or a joint meeting.
A committee appointed to
do house business may be
set aside by a 2/3 vote of
the house appointing it. A
committee appointed to do
student association busi-
ness may be set aside by
a 2/3 vote of each house or
a joint meeting.
In defense of his petition,
Farr stated that it was
brought up in order to get
some type of legislation of
this nature before the
legislative body. He also
said that the committee
which are appointed by the
Speaker, vice-president, or
president do not control the
business of the Student
Government. He said that
this plan would provide a
system for doing away with
committees if it should
become necessary. He
said that it would be up to
the Student Honor Court to
interpret the proposed
amendment. Farr also
stated that if an alternate
plan we re presented his
petition could be with-
drawn.
Jerrold Pesz, a repre-
sentative of Alpha Phi
Omega, in opposing the
petition discussed the loop-
holes and said that it took
the authority from the
committee w h i ch was ap-
pointed to do work. He
contends that if a commit-
tee'has no authority, there
is no sense in having a
committee at all. If a
committee’s plans have to
be submitted to the student
government, the committee
would become a committee
of the whole which would
do away with the purpose
of the committee. Pesz
also contends that this
system would prolong
business in either "house
for extended periods of
time. Pesz also said that
the petition says nothing
about the expulsion of
i n d i v i dual members of a
committee. He stated that
it applied to the entire
committee.
