JAM ARY 19. 1972 The Presidential Complex Some of you may have noticed that on your second semester tuition bill there was a listing titled "Student Union Fee." Considering the controversy in the past over the name of this Union, to see "Student Union" on the bill we received was something of a shock. There are really three possible explanations for this: I.) the administration has finally decided that since the students are the only ones at this college paying a Union fee. the title of "Student Union" might be in order; 2.) . the words really meant "Student Fee For The Union"; or, 3.) somebody unwittingly made an error, for which he or she should soon be getting a nasty phone call from the powers that be. We favor the third explanation. Another development for this semester is the attempted enforcement of the old rule that was still on the books which levis a fine for the act of changing a course. To say that $25.00 is excessive is not enough. The Student Congress has passed a bill calling for the dropping of the fee entirely. This kind of "fast buck" idea is not new, but it is regrettable that those "powers that be" felt that they should return to the punitive type attitudes which we had all hoped were fading away for good. However fondly some people cling to these old-world ways, we do not find it acceptable, and, hence, we support the Congress resolution. Nevertheless, we question whether or not there is something deeper here than just an unnecessary and unfair rule. Every administration deserves a grace period. Political reporters and correspondents call it a honeymoon. That time has passed, and we are beginning to see signs of an Eisenhower-type situation, or perhaps even Nixonian. Consider the situation of Melvin Laird. The story goes that no MEMO FROM THE EDITOR one knew that Mr. Laird was going to be coming to the Fogarty . Awards Presentation; no one had the foggiest idea that the good Secretary was coming. Well, we called the Public Affairs Office Recently the subject of granting amnesty to, draft evaders has been at the Pentagon, and talked also with the Secretary's receiving much attention by the news media as well as presidential appointments secretary in his office, and it seems that Mr. Laird candidates. Sen. McGovern has declared that if elected, he would grant was invited by the Fogarty Foundation "quite some time ago, amnesty to those in jail or exile for refusing induction or for soldiers when they asked everyone else, and we came back with a A WOL.

Now, as Philip Roth and William Shakespeare (if we may be It seems when one discusses this topic, the word "coward" eventually excused the indescretion of seeming to class the two gentlemen creeps into the conversation. There are those, and it seems no small together) would tell us that "something is rotten in the state of number, who would package every individual who refused to serve, or Denmark." We won't presume to point the stick at anyone, but who is AWOL. into one box and label it "COWARDS." let it suffice to say that something is indeed amiss. It is quite easy for one who has completed his military duty to pass But allow us to return to that theme, that Eisenhower-Nixon unfavorable judgement on an individual based on his personal style of government. Nothing is happening, really, beyond having experiences. It is equally easy for those who are not draftable, because a Union building in which to throw expensive cotillions. — There by some quirk of fate they happen to hold the winning lottery tickets. It had been a time when there was much progress, new is not as easy, however, for those of us who are still draftable and those developments, and, admittedly, many faults.

We humbly suggest that stagnation is not a Service System, to completely write off these individuals as cowards. defensible modus operandi.

Joseph G. Meny The new statement still makes class attendance mandatory. In addition, it allows the professor to decide at what level absence from class becomes "excessive". This, in particular, places the student in the position of being allowed less cuts per semester than was afforded under the former policy. The Cowl realizes that many professors are reasonable concerning class attendance, but there is the great probability that professors will use the new —. theIcowl » policy to develop a cut system directly opposed to the spirit of more relaxed class requirement.
