Objections to Proposal Aired
(Continued from Page 1)
to Barnes proposal wei’e that:
® It would tend to divide student
thinking along class lines, and re
sult in occasional veto of senior
class wishes, which several mem
bers of the audience thought would
be detrimental to the Cadet Corps.
© The Co-ordinating Commit
tee would be a figurehead body if
it only echoed the vote of individ
ual classes.
• Strong objection was raised
to representatives being instructed
how to vote on each issue.
© Mathematically, the Council
(because of varying class sizes)
could be instructed to vote a par
ticular way on an issue when a
majority of the student body held
an opposing view.
In Favor of New Plan
A summary of views favoring
the Co-ordinating Committee plan
were that:
• Greater participation in stu-
dent government would result if
legislation was taken to the
classes.
© Each class would have a more
equal representation with the
greatest strength lying with the
older, better informed senior group.
• Student body opinion could be
gained quickly through the classes.
© Committee work could be done
by men from classes, which would
promote greater interest.
® A smaller body could work
more efficiently, spending less
time on individual issues.
Senate Operations Discussed
Several points were raised in op
position to present operations of
the Senate. Four or five students
pointed out that Senators did not
represent, but voted as they saw
fit.
The opposition countered that
“repi-esentative government was
meant to function in that manner,
because each man did not have
time to inform himself on all is
sues.”
The group discussed top student
leaders relation to each other and
to the student body, in an effort to
define their authority and deter
mine which was most important to
student government.
Opinion of the group leaned no
ticeably toward a more liberal,
democratic student government,
with a stronger, more military Ca
det Corps.
Radical Change Opposed
Opposing a radical change, a
number of audience speakers urged
more attention to the Senate and
an increased effort to improve it
and its operation.
Another student pointed out that

Official Notice
STAFF AND GRADUATE STUDENTS:
Mr. Standley Andrews, Director of the
Office of Foreign Agricultural Relations,
U.S.D.A., will discuss and answer aues-
toins on personnel for the E.C.A. and Point
4 programs at 2 P.M. Thursday, May 17
in the Agricultural Engineering Lecture
Room. All interested staff members and
graduate students are invited to attend.
Chas. N. Shepardson
Dean of Agriculture
a new organization might have
many hidden pitfalls, but that ba
sically the Senate was well organ
ized and needed only greater stu
dent interest.
Several suggestions for changes
to the present Senate were consid
ered. To stimulate student inter
est, it was proposed to hold two
elections for senators each year,
giving dormitories an opportunity
to elect a new man if they were
dissatisfied.
Seniors Elect Senate Prexy
Suggesting that student govern
ment needed backing of the Senior
Class, one student proposed that
the Seniors elect the Senate Presi
dent from senior members of the
Senate.
Another recommendation was
for more student body votes on
important issues, thereby giving
them a greater chance to partici
pate.
Panel leaders Parse and Barnes
both said after the meeting that
more such discussions should be
held in an effort to determine
what improvements could be made
in student government at A&M.
And almost every member of
the audience said at one time or
another that lack of student in
terest was the greatest threat to
any kind of student governing
body.

ted States much wealth. I asked
if any such wealth had been recov
ered and used for the benefit of
all China.
Sources here said Chiang’s re
ply was the first comment he
ever has made on this subject.
“For many years,” Chiang said,
“The Chinese govemment has
made inquiries of the United States
government seeking cooperation
and information as to Chinese who
had taken wealth to the United
States.
“We requested the United States
government to inform us of this
so that we could then take all
measures to return this wealth or
treasure to its rightful owners,
the government of China.
“So far, our talks have produced
no results. We are ready to pro
ceed to reclaim any money taken
from China to use it for the gen
eral good of the people.”
