Committee on College Governance be established is, at the least, pre- mature. The reasons that caused the defeat of the original document are not going to be ameliorated simply by preventing the Deans of Men and Women from being members of a new committee.We sug- gest that a more appropriate step for the Ad Board would be to take an immediate poll of the students. The following alternatives could Aiming far the last stop bo presented: 1. There should be no student government. The num- bers of students who feel this way, combined with those faculty members who feel the best thing to do would be to throw the stu- dents into anarchy by handling over the maintenance of the dormi- tories to a private corporation, might be sufficient to cause that al- ternative to be seriously considered. 2. The Committee on College Governance should be reconvened. Many students may have had relatively minor objections to the report, objections which could be worked out within the present structure. 3. The Committee on Col- lege Governance should be disbanded and an independent student government should be established. This student government would be one with more stature and strength among students than the Ad Board. Once a strong integrated base was established, perhaps with dormitory representation, at some time in the future the students could once again come together with the Faculty and Trustees. The STUDENT favors the latter and thinks it extremely presumptuous of the Ad Board to make any kind of recommendation without be- coming more aware of student opinion on this matter.

The present state of "communications" between the Faculty and the students reminds one of the games diplomats of different nations play with each other — the statements made cannot be tak- en at face value if one expects to understand the others position. To he'p contribute to greater mutual understanding the STUDENT offers the following glossary of terms. First, statements frequently heard amongst the student body: "It's a matter of the rights of the students" — First, it's a matter of the indulgences of the students, since no one has yet articulated precisely where any supposed rights come from; and, second, it's a matter of the indulgences of those students who are in- terested in 24 hr. parietals etc., the minority of the uniterested being unheard from and therefore ceasing to exist in the minds of the in- terested.
