Maverick McCloskey urges party reform Rep. Paul McCloskey Jr. (R. -Calif.), unsuccessful candidate for the Republican nomination for the presi- dency, spoke to an overflow crowd of about 500 persons in upper Brandeis, closing out Welcome Week. His speech was entitled Youth and the American Political System. McCloskey, a liberal in a generally conservative party, placed himself squarely at odds with the policy of the Nixon Administration. Citing a need for income tax reform, he claimed that small business was at a dis- advantage compared to large corporations. He also advocated more hones ty in reporting campaign contri- butions saying that he was ashamed that his party must be so secretive. In the question-and-answer period, McCloskey was asked about President Nixon ' s handling of the war. He replied that the Nixon administration had been com- petent but not very compassionate or sensitive. He said Nixon had managed to quiet the people ' s con- cern, but that if the President found himself in politi- cal danger there might be a negotiated settlement by the election in November. Other questions dealt with support of Senator George McGovern, the Democratic candidate. McClos- key would not commit himself to either candidate, but said that at the present time he could not support the President. When asked how his liberalism would affect his own political future, he replied, Probably end it. McCloskey ' s appearance came less than a week after the Republican party convention, at which he had the distinction of receiving the only vote not cast for the renomination of President Nixon. 23

Adviser program stumbling along You ' re an undergraduate in trouble. Your grades are not up to expectations, and suddenly you ' re not too sure what your goals are any more. Who will you see for help — your faculty adviser? Not very likely. The faculty adviser program has been a source of controversy for several years. Designed to help students orient themselves to college and career goals, the pro- gram has never totally fulfilled its objective. When asked what they thought of their faculty advisers, many students complained that they were unconcerned, inaccessible, or simply not knowledgeable enough to help them with their program. A few admitted that they didn ' t even know who their faculty adviser was. A new program was initiated last year in an attempt to upgrade the system, and was put into effect this year. Students were required to see their adviser and have him sign their pre-registration form before it could be submitted for approval. But even then, a number of stu- dents still managed to get by without seeing an adivser. Dr. Robert Klein of the Chemistry Department cited this as the major problem with the program, stating I am ineffective because students don ' t consult me. Though I have a list of names of students that should see me, I know not even half have been in my office. Dr. Klein saw the adviser ' s role as a source of input to help maintain a student ' s balance. I try to help stu- dents come to grips with problems they ' re having now, instead of worrying about those that may crop up two or three years from now. Many students ' main complaint was the adviser ' s lack of knowledge in their chosen field of study. The adviser ' s handbook, given to each adviser at the beginning of the year, took note of this fact. Comment- ing on the new freedom of responsibility program in meeting requirements, the handbook stated that it would indeed place an academic and diplomatic burden on advisers, but they were asked to do all in their power to help the student come to a realistic viewpoint of their goals. The handbook added, Students ' relationship to the whole ' establishment ' of University Education, and in particular, to Creighton University, is probably a good deal less filial and trusting than in years gone by. The concern you show for them and the interest you take in their academic problems and doubts may be the strongest personal influence available to them in their adjustment to university life. Advisers will need to work overtime to restore vanished trust, and students will have to be more recep- tive before the program will come even close to fulfill- ing that goal. Advisers will need to work overtime, to restore vanished trust. Dr Herbert Funk talks economics with a busmess student in the faculty member ' s office. 24
