THE DID Rick Goodman, campus activist, ex-Greek, looks at his term as MSA legislative . As leader of the Senate, what do you view as the proper role of the University--its rights and the limits of its powers? The University exists to educate studentsg to create an educational environment. The Universityis interpretation of this is different than mine. Creating an educational environment means giving students as much freedom as possible. That is not done here. The dorms are a prime example. The University feels it has to have complete authority. They can search rooms any time they want. Each floor in the dorms should decide its own policy. Those are the people who have to live under the rules-not the administration., The role of the administration is to organize. lt should administer. lt's their right to decide on the curri- culum, what classes should meet, when and where. These things present huge organizational problems. These policies should be decided by a student-faculty board, with equal representation or perhaps more students. As it stands now itls not education. ltis repression. Does the University have the right of H in loco parentis '! Ask any of the Curators and they will deny that in loco parentis is a University function. But that's hypocritical. Their actions speak louder than their words. vice-president How do you view Senate actions of the past year? Most of the Senate bills passed in the last 10 years have been aimed at improving the Senate, not the campus. They made the Senate function better through by-laws and rule revisions. Some bills have not been too relevant, like the bill to lower the flag over Jesse Hall until the Vietnam War was stopped. tGoodman co-sponsored this billj. Support of intervisitation was probably one of the most important pieces. of legislation to be passed by the Senate. Another was a bill passed to set up our own student bookstore but the administration defeated that. lf we could pass legislation that would be enforced, the Senate might have significance. But it has no power-just what the administration grants us-and thatis piddly. Proposals are before the Senatenow that would give MSA financial control of their student activities fees. That would help. Money is power in the U.S. Do you feel the more liberal elements in the Senate and on campus are emerging as political force? l think they're emerging in the Senate and among the leadership on campus. We had three radical student officers CGoodman, Weinberg, and Hillj and one liberal. Yes, l would classify Heeter as a liberal. l think the Individual Coalition is liberal. Continued on page 24
