* made to gain representation on the comae.
Trustees Reject Request
request made to the Board of Trustees for
ent participation in the  selection process
ilatly rejected at  last  Thursday's  Board
ling. Rison indicated that there was a feel-
imong some students that "this was a direct'
Iff'by the Board of Trustees."
ionsequently Rison has launched a "respon-
l campaign to gain support for student rep-
fntation."  The proposal will state in part
"students should have a meaningful reputation in the process of selecting the new
liclent of Central Michigan University."
Rison is also soliciting the support of Uni-
lity Senate and the alumni association.
Alumni Support Students
Ipbert Hier said that "as president of the
Iroi association I will support the students'
fe on this problem."
Jack London, the alumni representative on
the selection committee, also stated he was in
favor of student representation.  '
Both were under the impression that students were on the committee prior to being
contacted by Rison.
U-Senate To Hear Letter
Mrs. Jean Mayhew, president of University
Senate, said that she had received a letter
stating the students' position from Rison and
would bring it before the Senate at next Monday's meeting.
Mrs. Mayhew said she was "confident they
would give this a fair hearing" but declined
to speculate as to how they would handle the
situation.
"Personally," she said,'"I feel there is nothing wrong with students being a part of the
selection process."
AWS Joins Supporters
Dee Boersma, president of AWS, summarized the feelings of the AWS Council toward
student representation on the presidential
screening committee.
"We feel that the students are equally important in the University and its functions.
Proposal A will give all students a chance to
express their feelings on this question. After
discussion, the AWS Council supports the proposal and urges all students to do the same."
Rison said that he had also requested that
the Board of Trustees put the matter on the
agenda for its next meeting scheduled for Oct.
20. Student government representatives ran
into a roadblock at last Thursday's open meet
ing when they tried to bring the issue up.
Requests to bring something before the Trustees must he submitted in writing ten days
before the meeting when the agenda is drawn
up.
Veritas Carries 'Yes' Plea
Veritas, the student government newsletter
which was distributed yesterday, 'contained an
open letter to the student body from Rison
stating student government's position in the
matter. The letter also urged a "yes" vote on
the proposal "A" in tomorrow's elections.
The letter stated that there were three equal
components to this University: administration,
faculty and students and that while there
was both faculty and administration representation on the committee, students were told
they would have no representation.
"I am concerned about this apparent lack
of confidence in our abilities to contribute in
a responsible manner to the future welfare of
our alma mater.
Government Trusts Judgment
"To those who question our ability to be
objective and mature," the letter went on to
say, "I can only say that the government (of
the United States) now or very soon will trust
us to select our nation's president and congress.
Is that less important?"
"I have not demanded the students have
a dominant role in this process," Rison said,
"but rather a meaningful one."
In concluding the letter, Rison said that
"only through a responsible and strongly united
effort can we hope to achieve just consideration."
