I could prom­ ise to solve the campus parking problems and I could promise to p r o v i d e cooperative coed housing, but if I did I wouldn’t be offering a program for pro­ gress; I would only be offering a blueprint for oontinuence of present student government — policies that are intolerable. “I believe that: (Continued on page 8) “ Student government, as it ex­ ists on this campus, is but a fig­ ment of someone else’s imagin­ ation. Here students have no col­ lective identity, and because of this, we feel that regardless of what we do not do —.nothing will change. “ Student government is not ef­ fective as long as it remains physically isolated in its dark corridors where it hears wily what it wants to hear. “The student is not protected (Cbntinned on page 8) " “I fe d students should have a voice in the democratic pro­ cesses in the state legislature, just as aU other elements of society do.

Suit had been brought in the court by Tom Edwards, liberal arts senator seek­ ing reelection, Jam es Henry, a liberal arts sophomore, and John Hertz, Student Power candidate for activities vice pres­ ident. THE ELECTION board was charged in the suit. However, the three plaintiffs did not agree what the board had done wrong. Tom Edwards,' represented by Bud Scribner, sought reinstatment as a can­ didate in Wednesday’s prim ary election. The other two plaintiffs sought the dis­ qualification of four other late filers along with Edwards, who had been ousted from the prim ary earlier this week. Basically, Edwards argued that the board had been inconsistent in its rulings by excluding him, while accepting the other late petitioners. HERTZ MAINTAINED tin t all candi­ dates should be disqualified if they turn­ ed their pedtitions in later than 4 p.m. last Monday. He noted that each indivi­ dual had to sign a pledge when he pick­ ed up his petitions, which stated that the candidate was fam iliar with the election code. “I don’t see any excuse,” he said in his final rebuttal.. “ I turned mine in at 12 just in case comething came up.” Jam es Henny, the third plaintiff, based his case on the same premise as Hertz. “ ALL FOUR SHOULD have been turn­ ed down since they were all late,” he said. “It is completely unfair for certain people to be above the election code.” The court decision said the four late filers on Monday — Skip Swerdlow, Mary Lamberts, Tana Basham and William Blair — did violate the Election Code, but the Election Board acted within its au­ thority in allowing them to be qualified candidates. A cheer echoed in the senate cham­ bers, scene of the hearing, when Chief Justice Les Pospisil read the final para­ graphs of the decision, which said Tom Edwards could be a candidate for liberal arts senator. BUD SCRIBNER, Edwards’ represen­ tative, commented after the court had adjourned that *he felt the court had acted wrongly in hearing all three of the cases as one. John Hertz agreed with Scribner’s con­ tention that the trial had not been prop­ erly handled. “I was trying to get his client disqual­ ified,” he said. “We were disagreeing with each other, and we were all plain­ tiffs.” THE PRIMARY COMPLAINT of the third plaintiff, Jam es Hemy, was that he had not been notified of the pending trial on the suit. “They didn’t even notify us,” he said. “We had to read it in the State P ress.” The Election Board was represented by Rick Roberts, Legal adviser to ASASU, who called three witnesses for the defense. CALLED TO THE stand were Ilene Lashinsky, Election Board chairman, Tana Basham, acting AS secretary, and AS President Bill Perkins, who took the stand during the defense’s closing argu­ ment. Normally, witnesses may only be called during opening presentations, but the court granted the request to allow Perkins’ testimony. The testimony of Miss Lashinsky re­ vealed that a “rum or” the Monday deadline had been extended to 6 p.m. was in fact the result of misinformation mi the part of Miss Basham. Miss Lashinsky testified that the acting secertary had told several candidates that she would accept completed peti­ tions in the student government offices until 6. The officially designated location for petition turn-in was the Executive Manager’s office. SHE SAID THAT Tom Edwards was not one of the callers, however, and that his supposed failure to notify anyone of his intention to turn in late petitions was the reason the Election Board had not fiernutted him on the prim ary bal­ lot. Miss Basham later admitted under crossexamnination by Bud Scribner that she had received some of Edwards’ peti­ tions from Scribner Monday afternoon and that she had therefore been notified. She said that she didn’t recall the inci­ dent until reminded of it by Scribner. Perkins was called to the stand to de­ scribe a “conflict” in the statutes, which was brought to light by this case. HE SAID THAT the new code had areas of ambiguity which had caused some confusion as to what authority the board really had in cases of late filers. The new code replaces the section in the statutes dealing with elections, but does not eliminate a section later on in the statutes dealing with the powers of the Election Board, he explained. An argument of the plaintiffs had been that the new code did not give the Elec­ tion Board the power to dismiss Edwards or allow the other four candidates on the ballot. (Continued on page 8) Miller Splashes Into Cam paign It could be a wet campaign for Jonas Miller, running for AS administrative vice president, if Sunday night is any indica­ tion. He and Dick Nudo, AS Supreme Court justice, were digging holes for campaign banners with a power auger when they hit a main water line in the center of the PV complex. H ie result was a miniature “Old Faith­ ful” about 200 feet high and two inches in diameter. The area quickly flooded before Campus Security was called and the water shut off. Examining the damage, Campus Secur­ ity added a new restriction to the cam­ paigning — no m ore power augers.

Enter: a group of University researchers who place you and your unemployed friends into groups of eight and begin talk­ ing about and listening to your difficulties. How do you react? DR. CALVIN Daane, educa­ tion professor and director of a project financed by the U. S. De­ partment of Labor, intends to find out. H ie project centers around the introduction and examination of c o u n s e l i n g “ models,” or theories designed to improve the verbal behavior and employabil­ ity of youngsters of the Neigh­ borhood Youth Corps (NYC) in Phoenix and Albuquerque. The youths will be placed into groups of eight and will meet With Daane and Ms staff and NYC supervisors twice a week ft»* eight weeks. ACCORDING to Daane, the socially deprived NYC youth of­ ten fails to listen to the sounds he makes when he s p e a k s . Through the tone of his voice or Ms choice of words, he may say things he isn’t aware of. He also frequently acts rather then talks out a confict, which tends to get him into trouble with his employers. “We a re going to attempt to improve the youth’s employab­ ility by, among other things, changing his communication style and improving his self- ooncept,” said Daane. This is to be accomplished through what he calls “selective responding” and “modeling.” “TRADITIONALLY there has been a conflict between two pro­ fessional counseling positions — one might be term ed behavior­ ism and the other humanism,” he said. Humanism involved building a basic human relationship be- tween counselor and client, while the behavioristic approach is more concerned with direct reinforcement of behavior. “Because our group sessions will be conducted in a human­ istic manner with the inclusion of reinforcement techniques, we may, for the first time, provide a coexisting atmosphere for these two schools of thought,” said Daane. [Arizona Foundation! To Give Fellowship The Arizona Historical Found­ ation is sponsoring a summer fellowship of $1,000 for a grad­ uate student in American His­ tory. The recipient of die fellowship will spend 10 weeks next sum­ m er taping interviews of pro­ minent Arizonans and pioneers on their experiences in the deve­ lopment of the state, which will become part of the Arizona Col­ lection m Hayden lib rary . THIS IS the first tim e file fel­ lowship has been offered to an ASU student and also the first tim e the University has been engaged in an oral research project, said Bert Fireman, executive vice-president of the Foundation and also curator of the Arizona Collection. “Since this is a new type of project for us, we m ay have to depend on luck for good re­ sults,” said Fireman. “We’ve tried to read all that has been written about this type of re­ search to give us a start.” Firem an listed several advan­ tages of this new kind of his­ tory reseach. The personality as well as the voices of the person can be captured, and experiences can be recorded that would otherwise remain unknown. The recordings can be retaped when they become worn and the voices can there­ fore be preserved for many years. No formal applications have been submitted yet. The dead­ line for turning them is is May 1. Dr. Blaine Porter, dean of BYU’s College of Family Living, will discuss “Husband-Wife Re­ lationships,” the first of eight sessions on family interaction, on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in PS 100. The eight seminar sessions, entitled “ Interpersonal Relations in the Family,” will be held weekly on Thursday evenings through May 2.
