The administrative thumb is usually connected to a fist which clutches the purse strings of the university. The fist will not open to students nor wifi it allow ui to even peek inside the puree In 1972, shortly before the election of officers to the first IU PU I Consolidated Student Government (now the IUPUI Student Association), the administration of IU PU I announced that it was revoking mandatory activity fee collection at rretn IUPUI. Presumably, the fees would have been available to the On— olidsted Student Government for the conduction of their proposed student advocacy functions and service activities. The IUPUISA, however, struggled through that first year of operation on a Woo budget and has been struggling ever since to regain an adequate, dependable funding base. At present, the IUPUISA and other student organizations must reauest financial support from the administration, and when it deems specific functions acceptable and supportive to their own concerns, the administration will begrudingly dig a small pittance out of the mysterious and m irky depths of its purse Student activity fees collected by most universities through­ out the country, are normally allocated by a representative group of students and faculty to support student governments, student newspapers, student athletics, student activity boards which bring nationally recognized lectures and prominent spokesmen as well as musical concerts and theatrical presenta­ tions to their respective campuses, day care centers, shuttle bus systems, student consumer awareness groups, student dramatic presentations, art showings, movies, and many other activities as dictated by the desires of the student body. IU PU I students collectively and individually have been crying out for the development of a sense of community, for the creation of school identity, for ways in which they can meet and communicate with the reportedly 20,000 other students whose nameless and shadowy forms dart in and out of the classroom : muvsjh. w nause MU I'M F W LA. buildings and successfully evade any socializing as they curse M r at* all the way home about the lack of anything to do at IUPUI. maun* oh- u t %60 Even thmsgh there are a few ways to meet others and a few muANa.. &7 mcm< student activities at IU PU I the lack of funding makes it difficult for even these activities to be any more than mediocre. And now in the face of this already disparate system, I.U. President John W 'Ryan has proposed to destroy the only mechanism left available to student activities proponents by recommending the revocation of mandatory activity fees. How can the IU PU I student government effectively represent the needs and desires of students especially when these wishes are in opposition to the administration, when it must constantly be in fear of biting the hand (or thumb if you w ill) that ever so sparingly feeds it? How can student activities ever provide their essential alternative and additional educational function at IU PU I when the administration has consistently refused to give them an opportunity to prove their worth. The answers certainly do not balance and the color of their unk is m erely an indication of the administrative attitude for its “ responsible, mature, and unique student body." The sole function of administration supposedly, is to “ facili­ tate the implement action of student and faculty desires ” Their actions however, prove this expressed purpose nothing more than a lie. We call for the administration to prove that they are acting upon the wishes of students We don’t think they can. And we respectfully' submit that the Board of Trustees should submit the issue to a binding student referendum It is about time that the administration of Indiana University gets its head out of the sand and its thumb out of its...... / o g o m o r e THE SAGAMORE IS PUBLISHED BY STUDENTS OT INDIANA UNIVERSITY PURDUE UNIVERSITY at INDIANAPOLIS VIEWS EXPRESSED ARE THOSE OF THE EDITORIAL STAFF OR OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHOSE NAMES APPE AR IN BYLINES THESE VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THOSE OF THE STUDENT BODY, ADMINISTRATION OR FACULTY OF IUPUI.
