Senate To Initiate
Government Study
A motion calling’ for the appoint
ment of a committee to study stu
dent government on the campus
was passed by the Student Senate
Thursray night.
The motion was proposed by
Student Welfare Chairman Bill
Altman and called for the Presi
dent of the Senate, Frank Muller,
to appoint the committee.
“We have organizations on this
campus such as the Civilian Stu
dent Council and the Dormitory
Presidents’ Council that serve the
same purpose and often we end up
bumping heads on issues,,” said
Don Warren representative from
the YMCA.
A motion proposing that the
appointments to the committee in
clude a member from all major
campus organizations was killed
by a large majority.
“In proposing this committee,
we (the welfare committee) intend
ed for it to be a deep study and
I feel that this proposal to include
all major organizations would sad
dle the president with an unwanted
burden in the appointments to the
committee,” said Altman.
The committee’s function will be
to study student organizations in
depth and recommend where elimi
nations, consolidations or improve
ments may be made.
Bill Millikin was recognized and
seated as the junior representa
tive from the College of Arts and
Sciences. Millikin won his seat
earlier in the day in a runoff elec
tion against John R. Stropp.
A report was given concerning
the ribbons and pins or recogni
tion to be given the student sena
tors. The Co,rps ribbons have al
ready been chosen. It will resem
ble the Ross Volunter ribbon but
will have maroon tips instead of
yellow.
Charles Shook reported that de
signs were being drafted for the
civilian pin. Frank Muller ex
pressed the desire that the pin
might eventually be accepted as
part of the military uniform and
no distinction would have to be
made between corps and civilian
awards.

Orr Discusses
Political Ethics
At Apollo Club
By clovis McAllister
Night News Editor
Members of the newly formed
Apollo Club heard Dr. John B.
Orr say Thursday night that man
will inevitably use power for his
own good.
Orr told the group that western
religion says man is both saint
and sinner. This, he said, should
not be taken for granted, but as
an ever present factor.
The new professor of philosophy
opened the first in a series of
discussions speaking on “Political
Ethics.”
The speaker introduced the topic
as both timely and controversial.
Orr related a story from Plato
about the Sheperd who found a
ring which made him disappear at
will. The sheperd used the ring to
take over an empire.
P’rom the story, Orr posed the
questions, will the man who has
power use it for his own good, and
will he always strive for high
ideals ?
Orr said we must be prepared
for the fact that every man is a
sinner. He added that if the man
is human, he will seek his own end.
He said the ideals politicians
pursue do not always fit neatly
together and sometimes they must
compromise one ideal for another.
The choice should be made

57 Khrushchev’s junior by 13 years, | Thursday night. Three hours later,

i nouncernen t 0 f th e changes, cap-
I ping hours of rumors that Khrush-
i chev was on the way out. Tass
| said the changes were decided
j upon Wednesday and Thursday.
Brezhnev, a burly native of the
Ukraine who has been a Commun
ist 33 years, has assumed the party
post from which both Joseph Stalin
and Khrushchev controlled Soviet
affairs. The premier’s role was
secondary for many years, and
both Stalin and Khrushchev as
sumed it after first serving as
first secretary. It seems likely to
become again the No. 2 spot in
the Soviet hierarchy.
The Soviet news agency Tass,
in carrying the announcement, said
Khrushchev was “released” from
in Washington on a morals charge.
Goldwater forces stepped up
their “scandal” accusations against
the Johnson Administration Thurs
day and asserted that the Jenkins
morals case raises grave issues of
national security.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover
announced that President Johnson i the top jobs
has directed him to make “a full
and complete investigation of the
matter without delay.”
Jenkins, long-time confidant and
top aide to Johnson, resigned sud
denly Wednesday. It was disclosed
that he was arrested five years ago
on a charge of disorderly conduct
pervert and on Oct. 7 this year
on a charge of “disorderly indecent
gestures.” He forfeited collateral
in both cases.
Political leaders sought to gauge
the effect on the Nov. 3 presiden
tial election. Surmises ranged from
“terrific impact” to a suggestion
that it would have little effect
because voters w r ould consider
Jenkins a sick man and have com
passion for him.
Goldwater flew into Texas for
a fourth time Thursday and set a
meeting to map strategy for the
last days of his campaign.

Student Conference on National
Affairs.
Filing may be made in the
director’s office in the Memorial
Student Center.

ing.
Applicants must be juniors or

overall and for last semester and
must not be on any type of pro
bation.
This year’s SCONA topic is
“Challenges to the Americas: Pan
American Trends, Promise or
Threat?” The conference is sched
uled Dec. 9-12.
Six SCONA members obtained
approximately $1,200 during their
promotional finance drive in Mex
ico City and Monterrey, Mexico,
Aug. 22-30.
J. T. Rose, finance chairman,
Mike Laughlin, chairman of the
secretariat committee and Jerome
Rektorik, publicity chairman, pro
moted the drive in Mexico City.
The group was hosted by Rick
Tessada and David Saloma.
At the same time, Bob Bell,
Craig Buck, vice chairman of
SCONA, and Jim Roberts, program
chairman, were having a drive in
Monterrey. The Monterrey group
was the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Williams and John Arnold.
Williams is president of the Mon
terrey A&M Club.
“The two drives were the most
successful Mexico drives in the
history of SCONA,” said Rose, who
organized the trips into Mexico.
“One purpose of the Mexican
drive, other than to raise funds,
is to show the Mexican delegates
to SCONA that it is truly an inter
national conference and their own
people and industries believe
enough in SCONA’s goal to con
tribute,” he said.
The trip to Mexico was not all
work. The group in Monterrey
had an interview with Eduardo
Livas, Governor of the state of
Nuevo Leon.
Presently, SCONA has raised
about $15,400 of their $19,100 goal.
