The QJARDIAN feels, as many others do that there is a insufficient level of student activities taking place on this campus. We encourage all efforts to increase funding for student activities, and to pro- vide as many as possible for students. We object, however, to Student Caucus being the instrument of these activities, no matter how peruasive Bill Roberts argues for them. The problem arises from the fact that under its constitution Caucus is designed to furnish student participation in the university gover- nance process, and only that. It was excluded from putting on student activities because of bad experiences with student government. Let- ting Caucus get into such activities will only divert it from its true purpose (For a detail- ed look at the subject see the column on this oage by 1 rank Salsburg). The ombudsers office has tapes from the constitutional hearings of last year which makes this even more explicit.
