The effectiveness of Student Senate came under question at Monday's meeting due to a motion that proposed a
re-evaluation of Student Government   and   other student
organizations.
Bob Donoghue, Thorpe, moved that a committee consisting of a representative of Student Senate, SSAC, Inter-
Dorm Council, AWS, Men's Union, IFC and Panhellenic be
set up to study Student  Gov       —■ ■ "

ernment and other campus
organizations. The motion also included that Kurt Ciske,
Robinson, be chairman of the
committee.
Numerous opinions were
voiced concerning Donoghue's
motion. Wayne Sun dberg,
Washington Court, felt that
the Student Affairs and Welfare Committee of Student
Senate should handle the
problem.
Nancy Nobel, Ronan, stated
that "Senators are here to do
a job and it's about time that
they did it. If you ask other
persons to evaluate the Senate
then it looks like the Senators  can't do their job."
Miss Nobel also felt that a
motion of this nature reflect-,

Central's Mew fund Request
Acceptance Appears Doubtful
■ „.•,.„__    pitwpn's    Committee
By Tom Needels
Life Managing Editor
CMU has asked the State legislature to ^^^
totaling $13.5 million for the 1965-66 schoo  year,  ^e pos
ability of the school getting this sum^xtr^^
The request is comprissed of
 «    _. VV^L-4.V.13 L     -.O     V,\_>-,.-_.£/J. -_tJ_Jw_*     «■■
operating funds of §5.6 mil-
tion, an increase of 30 per cent
over last year's allocation, plus
capital  outlay  funds   of -$7.9
million.
Assuming thai tuition
(which has been raised to
§150 per student per semester will account for $2.3 million of the total requested,
that still leaves $11.2 million
wr the state to provide.
Even accounting for an 11
Per cent increase based on the
budget appropriations for the
1964-65 school year, it Ts
doubtful that the state will
Sl'ant the amount requested,
Part of the reason Central
Won't get all it asked for lies
0n a state-wide scale.
Michigan's 10 state support
ed schools have combined op
erating- fund budget requests
which total one-third more
than they are currently receding. The requested figure
is 8178,609940 compared to_
this year's budget of $131,^',
616. - .
The schools are also requesting almost three times as
SLjh for capital improvements They now get fdl.d
Sfflion and are asking for
S89.9 million.
In total, the state S"PP<^|
schools are asking for a $105.8
million increase.

Governor s
Ribbon Citizen's Committee
on Education has ever recommended for a single-year increase  allotment.
For the 1964-65 school year,
the committee recommended
that about a $24 million increase be instituted. Governor
Romney reduced this recommendation to a $21 million increase, which was accepted by
the legislature. This was a
single-year  increase   record.
With this as a basis, and the
fact that the legislature is notorious at trimming budget requests, it appears doubtful
that Central, or the other
schools, will receive all they
have asked for.
The'legislature will have to
consider that the state school's
enrollments are expected to
increase by 12 per cent from
132,000 now to 148,000 in 1965-
Q6. But even then, the better
than 64 per cent increase requested will inevitably be reduced when it comes time for
the money to be allotted.
Speaker Gives
Encouragement
To Chip Project
"You are helping i n t h e
Chippewa Big Brother and
Sister Program with only the
compensation of knowing you
are helping people. But I'm
sure under your fine sponsors
your program will, go on in
fine shape."
Joseph M. Brant, a representative for the North
American Indian Club closed
his speech last Tuesday night
with these words.
A Mohawk Indian by decent
and as teacher, Brant is interested in helping to advance
the Michigan Indian.
"The place where you find
Indians in the toughest shape
where    there    are    large
tain Senators. Leslie Thomas,
reason for   the inactivity   of    :
Sweeney, stated that the basic   I
the Senate was due to the ap-   :
athy   of  the    casmpus   as   a
whole.   . •     '
Joe Sweeney, president of
the student body, questioned
whether or not the committee
would work. * He explained
that few people are in a position to understand many of
the complexities of Student
Government.
Sweeney also expressed anger concerning   the fact   that
several Senators move for adjournment when the meetings
have been in progress only 15
minutes.     "It's damned frustrating to spend many hours a
week on Student 'Government
and then have only 15 minute
Senate meetings.   It's time the
Senators   got  off their   dead
duffs."
Both Donoghue's motion and
a motion to refer the study to
' the Student Affairs and Welfare Committee were defeated,
Jim Sweeney, sophomore
class,   moved   that  record   of
Senate committee meetings be
kept, including the agenda of
the meetings   and   members
present.    The motion was defeated when   Gene   Ragland,
president of senate, explained
that he kept a rescord of proceedings   of   all   committee
meetings.
In other action the constitution of the Westminster University Fellowship was approved by the Senate. A
planning permit for Phi Beta Lamba, commerce fraternity, was also approved.

groups of them such a s i n
Mount Pleasant. But they
have terrific problems—water
for example. After packing
a bucket of waters % of a mile
do you wonder why they
aren't clean? I suppose way
back somewhere it is the government's. fault," Brant * explained.
He went on telling how
the first problem arises when
the Indian children do poorly in school, mainly because
of inadequate study facilities in the over crowded
homes.
"Pretty soon the children
become calloused to failure,
and after a while they've had
it. You too in the program
will have a lot of failures and
a lot of successes too," he added.
The holiday season will officially open at CMU with the^
presentation of the annual'
Christmas choral concert by
the Men and Womens' Glee
Clubs and the concert choir
Sunday in Warriner Auditorium.
Performances will be given
at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. according-
to Dr. Eugene F. Grove, music
department head.
Dr. Stephen Hobson, music,
will direct both Glee Clubs,
-and Dr. Grove will lead the
concert choir. One hundred
and eighty students will be
participating in this year's
concert. The music will range
from 16th century through the
present.
Traditional carols will be
played from Warriner Tower
by the brass ensemble before
the concert.
