Student Senate Seeks Student Support
The height of irresponsibility is
to waste the time of the students
by calling special class meetings in-
stead of being a representative in
ti:e true sense of the word.
Class meetings are seldom nec-
essary except for those which are
regularly scheduled to convey in-
formation of interest to a particular
class. The senate loses any author-
ity it may possess by not accepting
and taking the responsibility given
to it by the students. The senate
should realize the authority inher-
ent in its election by the students.
Faculty Help
The faculty memberts) who serv-
es in an adVisary capacity should
be carefully chosen. Because of the
nature of this position a person
to the Southwestern community. Wo
hope that the senators and officers
will leave something of value to
posterity.

Dr. Hooker Visits
Dakota College :
Dr. Douglas Hooker, Head of the
Department of Psychology at South-
western University, was a visiting
professor this summer at South
Dakota State College.

and the University of Detroit. He
holds the B.A. degree fix>m Wofford
College, the M. A. from Wayne Un-
iversity, and the Ph.D. degree from
the University of Texas.
i
Hooker was tile 1963 recipient of
the “Outstanding Professor Awe.id’*
at Southwestern University. Selec-
tion by the students for this award
was based upon “knowledge of sub-
ject, presentation of subject, inter-
est in students, and respect for col-
leagues and students.” 1

tion, American Personnel and Gui-
dance Association, Comparative Ed-
ucation Society, American Associa-

should be' diosen who is not direct-
ly related to the administration. A
faculty member who is sympathe-
tic to the needs, problems, and de-
sires of the students could best
fill this position.
In a meeting last fall Dr. Flem-
ing discussed with the senators and
officers the nature of their duties
and responsibilities. The following
is an interpretation of what Dr.
Fleming said:
-j»v
Tlie Student Senate should be con-
ceived as an organism ratlier than
an organization. The senate should
not just perpetuate itself. It should
be a group that is interrelated in
itself, and interrelated) with the
whole campus; it should have close
links with all areas of campus life.
The senate should' not “put an ear
to the ground” and do something
just because it is popular. Tlie sen-
ate should act in good faith and
shoulder its responsibility. The sen-
ate should be concerned with stu-
dent living, student personnel serv-
ices; it should be willing to legis-
late and develop policy, and should
tJo so.
The senate' should work in areas
affecting the inter-fraternity coun-
cil. And it should work with the ad-
ministration in areas concerning
Student welfare, such as traffic,
drinking, chapel, library facilities,
etc. The well-being of the whole
community should be a primary
consideration in whatever activities
tlie senate engages. Tlie most im-
portant consideration is tlie way
and manner of working things out.
A groat deal of care should be taken
in tliis regard'.
It is plain to all students who
have closely watched the existing
situation that Dr. .Fleming is "not
sitting over in the Administration
building waiting to veto anything
that the senate ‘does. He i£ sensitive
to student needs and sincerely
wants necessary change. Now, it is
up to the senate.
Tlie senate has a big year ahead.
This column will be devoted to the
purpose of analysis of how well tlie
senate is meeting its responsibility
hoffman & son
The Student Senate has a re-
sponsibility to the students ol South-
western. This responsibility is both
collective and individual.
a representative of the stu-
dents each member of the senate is
expected to do what he thinks is
best for the good of tile whole stu-
dent body. His job is NOT to do
wlrat some particular group wants
him to do, or even to do what a
majority of his constituents wish if
it is not for the good of tlie whole
student body.
Because of the relationship be-
tween student and faculty, between
student and administrator it is nec-
essary for tlie senators and officers
to consider their responsibility to
tlie administrative and teaching
aims of this institution. Problems
of faculty are related to the general
well-being of this whole system of
education. The student senate
should not overlook the entire make
up of our campus community.
Last Year
Laslt year- proved to be a very
successful year for the senate in
many ways. A badly needed new
constitution was written and adopt-
ed. Needs were discovered in many
areas of campus life and methods
were sought to meet them.
A firm stand was taken in opposi-
tion to the Southwestern University
die facto desegregation policy. The
library system was studied1. The
senate helped1 sponsor the appear-
ance of well-known literary figure
John Ciardi.
Many positive things were accom-
plished, but there were also some
disabilities connected with lost year.
These mistakes should not be dwell-
ed on, but some lessons can be
learned from them.
Tlie senate should be careful net
to slow down the legislative pro-
cess to a crawl for the purpose of
lightening tlie load of responsibility
which it should assume. Whenever
a question or problem is brought to
the senate’s attention the senators
and officers should, and must act in
a responsible manner.
