LETTERS EDITORIALS Students Framed In New Governance Picture The filial version of the L'SM governance constitution should be canned. Our reason u clear. Our country u a democracy. Every citizen get a vote in electing representative to it governing body. The new governance constitution completely disavows the one-man, one vote concept our country u based on. We do not wish studente to selfishly amass power as the faculty has in the new university governance constitution We support the one- man, one vote concept. There an 225 resident faculty and 1,(107 day student There are 3.S02 CED students and 86 CED faculty. There are 55 orofcsMonak. 235 classified employees and 3,010 summer session stuoenu. Repre- sentation on governance bodies should be directly proportional to the number of faculty, administrators and student . Give Power to Pupils How manY Administrators Statistic» indicate that the recent- ly added third shuttle bus u under- used. The new bus schedule ha been posted on bulletin boards, flashed on the electronic bulletin boards, listed in this newspaper, and aired over the canpus radio station The problem mb these mrtnodsof com- munication is that they an not readily available when student need them most. Student usually don't have an electric bulletin board, radio, or newspaper with them while willing at the bus stop. At tu latest meeting the Student Editorials by Affairs Committee voted to place the bus schedule on posters in the lobbies of Payson Smith andBailey Hall . There t a better way to pro- mote use of the third bu . It is by placing permanent signs outdoors at the du stop . Student might then consider bypassing an over- crowded bus and waiting fifteen minutes for the third bus. If the university can provide thousand of dollars for buses, the least it could do is provide the comparatively inex- pensive funding lot permanent sign» which could maxunue bu efficiency. •XX.

These same student are allowed to vote for the chief executive of their state. But student are not allowed to elect a President of the Univer- ■ty of Maine. Why? One remoo proffered i that elec- tion of a university preaident by student would constitute a politi- cal action. The sad truth i that the persons who presently select univer- sity of Maine president are deeply muvd in politics. The members of the Board of Trustee who are char- ged with selecting university presi- dent aie all political appointee» of the Governor of Maine. The concept that universities are created for student u not always clear to those in the university com , munity. The student ngbt of suf- frage would clarify this concept. Students would be able to select a president who w pro-student. Prea- ■dent who plot sgpunst student in- tereat would be denied another term of office. If student were given the right to vote for university prendent, it would not necreaarUjr mean a change in the present administration. At least, though, the administration could bask in the thought that they have the student ' vote of confidence They have no claim to this at present. Needed ! Dear Frustrated Art Mator.

Making its debut on the Russel Hall stage on November 2 will be 'The Unknown Citizen1, a student concieved and directed, ordinal, multi-media production. The script encompasses many aspects of readers' theatre, dance, music, dramatic scenes, and projee- tions, all dwelling on the complexity of the unknown citizen. Adding to the fluidity of the production will be a four piece jazz combo directed by Flash Allen. The cast is a multi-talented en- semble of ten students- seniors Tina Allen, Tim Wooten, and Mark Nu- tial; juniors Tom Derrah and Kristi Counts; sophomore Don Jalbcrt. Burton Ordway, and Christine Gard- ner. and freshmen Ruth Comber and Stacie Harvey. Tina Allen, a former member of Stoned Flute, recently appeared in the Rafter with the group Willow. She has appeared in such Treehouse productions as 'Poor of Portland'.

Jaque Brel' and ‘Begger's Opera’. Kristi lure Counts, from South Portland, is best known for her work with the Children’s Theatre of Port- land and her performances in 'Don Quixote’ She also worked in the Storymimcand Nutmeg Players, based in Stores, Conn.

'The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in-thc-Moon Marigolds' by Paul Zindct will be performed on the Portland Campus by the Art Theater. November 14-18. The all female cast includes: Carole Bohannon...Beatncc Karen Selborg.....Tillie Holly Carlson.....Ruth Anne Whitney......Nanny Diane Lewis.......Janice Vickery This powerful and moving study of ar. embittered, vindictive widow and her two young daughters has been hailed as one of the most sig- nigican: and affecting plays of our time.

Ma- ny member of the Gorham Thea- tre arc working on this production in either the acting or technical capacity. The play u already several weeks into rehearsal and will run from November 14-18 In Luther Bonney Auditorium at 8:00 P.M. ISo Apathy Here On a campus where most student are apathetic the U.S.M. Business Cluh proves to be refreshingly dif- ferent. The club draws students from all areas of academic endeavor and is not limited to tha field of business. I,ast year the club got in- volved in community action by pro- viding a tax service to Portland's low income families. The club hopes to continue this program this year and may expand the service if it is determined that both a need and a desire for such a service exist. Profit making project» last year included, the Used Bookstore, the Basketball Program, and a raffle of a semesters tuition. The Used Book- store was primarily a student ser- vice as the dub barely broke even on it. Thu year we discontinued the used bookstore because the University Bookstores were suppo- sed to take over this function Due to a shake-up in management they were unable to handle it this first semester but wchopothat they will be able to provide'this serivee next semester. The Basketball Program was profitable last year and pros- pects for this year look even better. The raffle was the mam source of income and it i being contemplated agam this year. The club took a trip to the Bos- ton Stock Exchange last year. Tins trip was open to the entire student body and was enjoyed by all who went. Many trips are contemplated for this year which will appeal to wide ranges of interest Through the year the club holds many social events for its members and friends. Cocktail parties have proved to be bath enjoyable and productive The club gets together daily in the cafeteria, so if you sec a large groupcongregating around a small table most likely you arc looking at the Business Club. by Mike Myers WELCH’S VARIETY 1 GO N«n»t«nK .t Si FREE ON CAMPUS DELIVERIES AFTER ?PM W MIN.ORDER OF $5 Open 911. Sunday and Holiday Gumbyland 9 25 by Mike Preston ..while bock ui Cumbyland all were unaware of the devilish plot being formulated against them from within the bowels of the notorious eatery known to all as the Dining Center. This ever-alert reporter, however, after stepping into his ele- vator shoes, had ogain Mumed hi» role as secret agent 00W and had taken up the fight against the relent- le» ARA Food Borons. Over n week ago «disgruntled Food Service Em- ployee turned informer had passed on the Information that a secret meeting was being held in the Din- ing Center itself. Always ready to assume any role m the fight to pro- tect my fellow students digestive tracts I quietly donned my salt package disguise and set out across campus in older to arrive at the appointed place ahead of the nefar- ious Borons. After many strange stares and being nearly lapped to death by a pock of dog , I arrived at the Dining Center storeroom and discreetly positioned myself for what was to come. A few minutes later the door slowly opened and in walked Cart ’Shorty’Bucciantini. Close behind his bodyguard sauntered Al ‘Biggy’ Bnggo followed by the remainder of the Barer . They eyed the room nervously waiting to sit down until 'Shorty had meticulously checked the room for 'bugs' and was sure that it was bug-free. As they took their scats. ’Shorty’ positioned him- self protectingly behind Al ‘Biggy’ Baggo'schair. Gentlemen,’ Aloe gan, 'I’m glad you obeyed my older to come to this most important itrategy meeting of Operation Elimination. A you all know, the reason we're here tonight is to dis- cuss Phase IV of our plan to elimin- ate the student population. Phase IV, gentlemen, is our most ingeni- ous phase so far. Our iab has been at work for yean and finally, today, announced the development of a french fry that is guaranteed to com- plete Operation Elimination. Yes, gentlemen......' suddenly the door opened and Cheryl- whose lost name shall remain locked in this reporter's flies- entered, and asking to be ex- cused for interrupting them, saxi that more salt was needed upstair (undoutably due to the lack of taste or the need to cover up the flavor of the food). At that moment 1 know it was all over. As I feared, die reached for me and in doing so ended this agents career for a second time. After all. who would hire an agent who two year ago failed to ndTowereof tho dreaded lice squad and now got caught in the act of jecret-sgenting o to speak. Who would hire an agent who always gets caught (n-.xon maybe)? As a result of my early retirement I am now forced to sell the following: Five pair of Secret Agent jockey aborts bearing the 00V monogram, one codetype wnstwatch bearing the likenesses of James McCordond E. Howard Hunt, one Secret Agent super-virility belt (doesn't work), and one bottle of Hai-Karate (falsely advertised). P.S. Elevator shoes will be kept for further use.
