Nations between faculty, students and administration.

President Judson W. Foust
spoke  before  Student  Senate
Monday night on "points that •
seem to be bothering us."
He expressed hope that it is
not construed that "all we have
in Student Senate is difficulties. The fact that Student
Government i s dissatisif ed
with itself or having difficulty
is not unique to this university," he said.
He pointed out that there is
a new group of senators and
that the constitution is old. He
said that it is good that Senate has to revise and review
its constitution.

"We have had good writing
in Tempo and I have been
proud of it," said Butt. Because of editorial problems, the
winter edition of Tempo was
not published, he added.
Also at the meeting, Kurt
Ciske, Mount Clemens junior,

Three top administrators
•from CMU travelled to Lansing
Wednesday to enlist the aid of

I in acquiring added appropriations for the university in the
budget due to go before State
•Legislature committees in the
lear future.
President Judson W. Foust,

financial problems. They also
asked the board to lend them

"I think it would be best for
all concerned if this matter
were dropped. I don't want to

constitution," he said. He also
stated that it helps an organization when they know what
the constitution includes.
He then cited several examples where other student governments are facing the same
problem.
Takes Exception
Following the meeting, Gene
Ragland, student body president, took "strong exception"
to President Foust's comment
that Student Senate is "dissatisfied with itself." Ragland
said that Student Government
has more things to do than to
go over its constitution.
President Foust continued
his speech, saying all factions
of the university must work together.
Citing background as to the
history of American universities, he attempted to explain
"how we got here."
He said America has developed different kinds of colleges, but, "the trouble is, we
have not developed fast enough
or sent students to the right
ones."
President Foust continued,
"The student is the center of
concern." He said the university provides facilities to care
for their health, both physical
and mental, and other services,
such as counseling and placement. This, he said, creates a
complex organization involving many people.
Revolt Against  Authority
The president then spoke on
the   revolt   against   authority
among college students.
"You are seeking independence," he said. "Sometimes it
is expressed against your family, sometimes you revolt
against the church or religion.
When you come to * college,
your revolt is transferred to
teachers, more often it is
against the administration, particularly the Dean of Men and
the Dean of Women," he said.
President Foust's next questions were, "how do we get
things done? This is the thing
I'm concerned with. We all
have faults. How are we going
to work together?"
In an attempt to answer
these questions, the president
first said, "I think we ought
not to work against authority
because it is authority. If students don't believe in this type
of institution (teaching), then
they ought not to come to this
institution and criticize the
people in it."
In his second point, he said
that there is "jealousy in regard to the fact that the faculty wants to do the counseling.
This is perfectly natural. The
point is there are other things
students need to be counseled
on."
Organization Needed
He said that there needs to
be organization so no one is
left out.
He  also  said  this  jealousy
between the faculty and the
• personnel   counselors   can   be
solved  by  sitting  down  and
talking it" over.
With the growth of faculty
members, he said, there is an
insistence on establishing a
privileged group among students, and sometimes they (the
faculty) protest their students
from the organization. As an
example, he pointed out that
when students do not come to
class, the professors do not report it.
"Either you are part of the
organization, or you are not,"
he said.
"We have to get together and
talk," he said. "We can't work
together   if   we   don't   have
mutual confidence. We have to
know that people make mistakes, and we say things we
wish we hadn't. We have to
watch ourselves or we won't
be effective," he continued.
Must be Authority
In another point brought out,
he said, there must be  some
authority; that is part of organization. Truth and evidence
are important.
