The Stetson Reporter

L The Stetson "student body goes to'the polls today to T vote on a new.constitution aimed at widening student.representation. •' ' " . ■ "..-• - . ■' - The basic revision of the proposed constitution is the establishment of a student senate," composed of fo.ur representatives from each class and four representatives from each s'chool. • ' '. '-,-•■ - This senate headed by the elected officers of the student government will'be responsible for the .legislation of all student body committees, (e.g. Social Committee, Homecoming Committee, Green Feather, etc.) '• ' . - ,y, , The proposal for a.new Student Government constitution originated in the Rules and Procedures- Committee under the.direction of Dan Denman. ,; After, eight weeks of extensive research, a model constitution was drafted by the .'Rules and: Procedures Com- ■ mittee and on the request of the'President's Cabinet was submitted to the Meii's and Women's Council's: for their advice and opinion.; , '.[ Until this time, the constitution contained- a section creating;:a judiciary which .would rule on the: constitu tionality of the lower committees, the acts of' the student legislature, and have judicial review over the lower courts or ..councils. It was also to haye =. acted as a court" of last resort and an appellate' court ..over .'the, three lower councils, (e.g.,'the Men's and Women's Councils, and the.student traffic court.) , . • '. Because of the objections raised by the' lower councils as to losing their right to legislate and their feeling of having closer contact with the. student body than a large group such as the student senate could have, they recommended that>the judiciary section be' dropped and that their councils b'eleft intact. This was done for the sake, - of clarity and. efficiency, but has ' been leift open in the present constitution so that the student body :may create a' judiciary- in the student government -by, amendment at whatever time; they see fit. . > . • Finally, after-much writing and rewriting, the constitution was left in -its' final form and presented to the student body in- assembly on Monday, lt. is also being presented today iri a- special assembly. ' The basic structure of this constitution .contains two major changes over the existing constitution. Under the proposed constitution,, the office of social vice-president ■ will be waived in ? lieu of committees for the various functions which will be appointed and'approved loy the student senate. This change is instrumented to bring more of the student, body in contact with such affairs as selecting bands for concerts, activities for holidays, etc., Under, this system, the responsibility does not fall -on a single person, but is. left to the. discussion and approval of the group. - - ' •■.,.' - The second, major revision, and perhaps the most important, .is the establishment of the student senate. - ' With? this organization the student government will be taken from the hands.of the elected executive and placed in the control of a student senate of 32 members who will represent the student opinion at large and vote accordingly. - ' .. ; - . The foreseeable future of ,ther student .government if this constitution is passed.today is one of much hope and great expectation.. . . " It after! its adoption, the student body sees fit'to incorporate by amendment a judiciary,' it is conceivable that the student body will at last have a voice in'the stu dent' prosecution of students who have violated student? rules enacted by students. If this constitution is ratified, it would be possible to create'by statute a budgetary committee to handle the. .allocation of not only' the studentvgovernment fee, but the general-activity fee as well. "..-If this constitution,is ratified, such unpopular events , as 'the recent homecoming issue would be virtually impossible, since the voice of 32 would be heard, in the choosing of student entertainment. ; , If this constitution is ratified, the student body vote iri student government would no longer proceed from a group, of five elected officers and their, cabinets.at large, but . would first' go through 32 in the senate -who represent the whole strata of student opinion. " WE OF THE REPORTER urge that you vote YES for the new Student Government Constitution.; We feel that its possibilities and potentials are so great that .we can .not afford to continue operating under the almost ineffective present one.

"The result of one of these explorations is something called Cinemascope, which was employod by * Twentieth Century-Fox in putting together . a - picture entitled 'The Robe.' The technique' consists -, of using lens that projects a wider image than usual upon a curved screen that -is more than twice as wide as it is high. It is the proud boast of Twentieth , Century-Fox that..you_can?see .this-thing, without .glasses',' which would' 'imply that it has some'sort of three- dimensioned quality. It hasn't. What the business bops down to is a method of enlarging' spectacular scenes. This works out fine horizontally, but the peculiar shape ofi the .screen occasionally gives you the impression .that you're viewing the action through a mail slot. 'Another disadvantage is that the actors in close ups look as if they .belonged in Mount Rushmore. CINEMASCOPE USED "The piece selected to -launch Cinemascope is an adaptation of one of.,the pious works of Lloyd Douglas. It has 'to do with a Roman ■ tribune named Marcellusi Gallio, who gets in the bad books of Caligula and winds up being packed off to Jerusalem. He takes with him a. Greek slave, quite a muscular lad but of a mystical turn of mind. The tribune arrives in Jerusalem concurrently with' Jesus Christ, and the slave promptly decides to become a follower of the Nazarene, even though -he has- no knowledge of Christian doctrine or, indeed, any idea what .the Jews . are talking about when' .they -speak of the Messiah. It is the lot of the tribune to be put in charge of the crucifixion of' Christ, and although he is ."only carrying- out the orders of his superior, he feels somehow guilty about it. Presently, .he loses his grip entirely when Christ's robe, which he has won in a .'dice game, at the foot of the Cross, is thrown over him during a, rainstorm by his slave. He is relieved of his. post in Jerusalem and goes to .Csipri, but he is still troubled. Finally, - a soothsayer advises him to head back to Palestine and destroy the,robe, which is now in the" possession .of 'his. slave. This therapy sounds logical-to the tribune, and.off he'goes. After-a good deal.'of backing and filling by the natives of Palestine, the tribute decides to embrace Christianity, arid before long he's rated the leading subersivein the Roman Empire. - He is also badgering the Emperor and his .legions with all the.derring'do of a Douglas Fairbanks.. In' the course' of events, he also manages to steal a girl Caligula is fond of, and so it goes hard'with him when he is finally'nabbed. ' '." ' v THE KOBE "While?there is nothing, very profound about - "The Robe,' it takes, an unconscionable length of time to get '.through some of its scenes: Actually,, it is at its' best when it shows our hero duelling 'desperately with an enemy Roman, or a four-horse team dragging , a carriage across the Italian landscape with a'regiment of horsemen in pursuit. These, of -course, are standard, movie ■ routines, and I-was happy "to see that the "old tricks are-still effective.; ' -The cast of, .'The Robe', is headed by Richard' Burton,- who plays the tribune;. Victor Mature, who is the slave;' Michael Rennie, who is Peter; and Jean Simmons, who is1 Mr.-Burton's beloved. Also on hand is ■ Jay - Robinson, - who makes , a very, petulant Caligula, sbmetiriie I hope to see'somebody do .one of these Roman bad boys with a bit of dignity." ays s s-' , "All undergraduates , interested in competing for the annual"'Hays Award should start thinking about how they would handle the topic," suggested Dr. Gerald Critoph, who is managing this' year's . judging.

About".Venezuelan- - Problems' Dr. Jose. A,- Mayobre,.

';, ; -. •, ■- ; .Mayobre said'.

"Why ;in the same -continent have countries developed so. differently?" Mayobre asked. He then outlined the difference-in the history of the United States and most of the" rest of the hemisphere. In Spanish and "Portuguese days, land was distributed by the kings to big landlords. The result was a feudal operation in, Latin America with a small number of aristocrats owning the land with the remainder of its population consisting of poor laborers. With ' few exceptions, there was no-political dem-. ocracy in Latin America, Mayobre said, in contrast to that in the1 United, States. > V, .. ? .

What is needed.is improve- riient of human conditions everywhere; standards-of living for,-the masses must be- raised. People in; undeveloped countries are looking' for ways out of their dilemma— ■they won't accept starvation as their.fate, he asserted. , "" " Mayobre said communists are active and' clever in Latin America; . they try to teach that the only way put for people is through communism and that they must rebel against private enterprise in' general. - ' ■''-,-■ But communism can't be blamed entirely, because the basic problem is the soil' that is already there, which communism takes root'in. The problem is that Latin countries want freedom and democratic liberties and '. at t h e same time the lack of economic and social development is used to establish totalitarianism. / ,. ' > .The Alliance for Progress -is really not new, Mayobre said. He said he had worked for many, years on the Economic Commission for Latin America which has analyzed problems. The change under President Kennedy so far as the United States is concerned is an understanding of the problems and close cooperation, however, he said. The first condition for. the .Alliance for Progress is that the individual country make every effort at' reform. Reform is needed to create a middle class - in most countries. Land needs redistribution, there .should be .better systems of taxation, and an increase of irivestment in these countries, Mayobre said. rs Come To Stetson;; Stetson University debated Harvard University, students on "Conservatism and-Liberalism on the American Campus" last.Tuesday, night in the Student Union Building. . .;.,' ■ N Stetsori students Sharon Sanders and Marion Moorman debated Harvard participants v William Burke, 'Al Alschule'r, and Gary Gastineau.
