Siegel Advocates ASUC Power Through Influence and Service The proper role of any government is to serve its constituents, and the proper role of the ASUC is to serve students, whether their concern is on or off cam- pus, academic, or extracurricular. A relevant ASUC program must include the war in Vietnam, the Berkeley housing situation, student influence on faculty commit- tees, tuition, and day care services. All of these matters relate to students in their role as members of a particular class with particular class interests in American society. Students are drafted by the Army, exploited by landlords and merchants, pro- grammed and bored by required courses, and manipu- lated by politicians. To respond to these pressures, the ASUC should work in three areas. (1) to link students with off-campus movements working on issues with which students are concerned; (2) to increase student influence within the University; and (3) to offer useful services to students. The ASUC has made progress in all three areas this year. Space, funds, and manpower have been made available to the anti-war movement and support given to the Berkeley Tenants Union. Students have been in- volved in the Ron Dellums campaign and in Berkeley city politics. Much more should be done. Each execu- tive officer and each senator should take upon himself the job of relating to some aspect of movement political activity. Efforts began this year to place stu dents as voting members on Academic Senate committees, and progress was made despite some faculty opposition. Continued work must be done to insure that student placement does not become tokenism, and the effort must spread to de- partmental as well as campus-wide committees. Despite problems with credit, CPE remains a viable alternative to many courses. As the tuition question has shown, however, students will be unable to make important changes in the University structure while the Regents are dominated by corporate interests and reactionary politicians. The ASUC has been most successful in offering stu- dent services. A day-care center was begun and quickly expanded this year. Students of Berkeley, Inc. opened Leopold ' s Records and Cleo ' s Copy Service and began work on new enterprises. So far, student response has made the corporation a commercial success, but more work must be done to determine long term policy and how funds will be used to benefit the community. The draft counseling office remains a necessary and well- used service. With the successful conclusion of negotiations and return of student funds and facilities to the ASUC, the organization will have new opportunities to serve the needs of the student community. With increased student interest and participation, the ASUC can be an effective force for social change. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE! siege 17
