Lears
The Cavalier Daily regrets Mr. Lears
his with
the other Student Council nominees
which were printed last Friday. Mr.
offers his views today.—Ed.
1. I support a substantial increase
in the size of the Student
Council for three reasons: to directly
involve more students in the
governing process, to meet the
growing work load of the Council,
and to adequately represent a
rapidly expanding student body. I
am also in favor of the creation
of a separate, popularly elected executive
branch.
2. I feel that the student body
president should be popularly
elected because the University-wide
campaigning which would result
will bring more students into contact
with student government affairs.
I also believe that a popularly
elected president would necessarily
have more respect and influence
in dealing with the Administration.
3. Since the admission of women
to a state-supported university
is inevitable, I feel that the
establishment of a co-ordinate women's
college with some sharing of
facilities is the best answer to the
problem. The best traditions of
the University would survive and
prosper, while at the same time,
women would receive the equal
educational opportunity which
they deserve. It is also true that
the University has little more room
for enlarging in its present situation,
and a co-ordinate college
would be the most practical solution
to the vast expansion which
the admission of women would
necessitate.
4. Four.
5. The Council should sponsor a
more objective faculty evaluation
questionnaire than the one which
was attempted last year. This more
objective format, plus full Council
support, would insure this system's
success. The evaluations,
when completed, would be a valuable
advisory service to students
and administration alike.
